During my trip to Melbourne, I was craving some good Thai food and luckily this restaurant was conveniently located within walking distance of my hotel. The food was fresh and affordable, and the young girls who served me were friendly. However, I did have to wait about 20 minutes for my take-away order on a Monday night, which I found to be a bit lengthy. I also found the food to be lacking in flavor and not seasoned well. Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with the meal, but I must commend them on the freshness of the ingredients.

The food at this restaurant is delicious, but the service is lacking. My noodles came out before the entrees, and when I asked for them to be returned until my partner's meal was ready, it took 8 minutes for her to be served. The waiter didn't seem to understand my frustration about the timing of meals and thought 8 minutes wasn't a long wait. At the end of the meal, the second entree (son-in-law eggs) came out and they were surprised when I sent it back and refused to pay for it. No matter how tasty the food is, I won't be returning to a restaurant that can't even manage basic cooking skills like timing.

I have visited this restaurant multiple times and have never been let down. I have sampled various dishes and found them all to be delicious. The prices are fair and I appreciate that all of the staff are Thai. I would definitely return, 10/10.

We were visiting from out of town and decided to stop for a late lunch on a Saturday. The positive aspect was that we were seated promptly, and the food was fresh. However, I have had better experiences...
