We love Thai but now my partner is coeliac and has also been told to follow a fodmapped diet. Sometimes pretty difficult. We Let the waitress know of our requirements, and she was more than helpful and obviously knew what was required and what changes the chef had to and could make to meet our needs. No onion or garlic in dishes or sauces( fodmapped) and gluten free. The restaurant was quiet because of the early time. It was pleasant , neat and tidy. Food was fresh and vibrant but still elegant and subtle. Red curry duck was fantastic and flavours were blended perfectly. Great coconut rice and chicken stir fry dish GF FM , tasty and clean. Overall great authentic Thai in a peasant setting with good food and service.

It's best not to be late as the restaurant was very crowded. However, this is a good sign of the delicious food they serve! Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was prompt and attentive, even though we all ordered different dishes. The staff were friendly and the restrooms were clean. I would definitely go back without any hesitation. The only thing to note is that the portions are a bit smaller than expected.

This Thai restaurant was the worst place I have eaten in the WORLD. I was on a and business trip with my collegues. We thought it appeared like fine dining. Was I surprised, the service here was definitely awful, the food was cold, plus I had a hair in my salmon. I had to ask for water 4 times, the staff seemed to forget and apologized, after 4 times I was losing my patience. The tab water bottles never cleaned as I asked a honest staffs. Fortunately, they told the truth. All of the staffs in the kitchen and owners, were yelling at all time. Particularly,in front of customers as I heard while I was getting into the toilet and standing in front of bar. That was really overly aggressive and unprofessional people here. Importantly, It has been acknowledged that they haven't organized teamwork before opening. Chefs behave unprofessional and needs to go back to be trained. Some of them do not have uniforms while walking outside. OMG !!! What's more surprised!! Chefs walked pass and go out smoking , chatting , phoning while working in hours in front of owner and full of customers. We were waiting our food!! Sir Where our foods? The two smoking chefs were obviously inhygiene with uniform. YUCK !!!!!!!! This was very upsetting. We will NEVER go to this Thai restaurant again and we'll never recommend it to anyone. Very unprofessional cocktails, the coffee taste was really terrible as I found some of coffee powder in my cup. I called one staff to replace a new one. This staff said the coffee liquid was prepared before open the restaurant. How comes ??That was a reason why the taste and smell of this coffee were really suck. The staffs, were very slow in serving especially the public which caused of lacking staffs. I have tried several restaurants in Melbourne,and this restaurant was by far the WORST! EVER AND FOREVER. They pose has a healthy environment, after talking to some locals also observing tables, I was told, they were known for a dirty kitchen, and they said, the cockroaches were every place in this resturant. we would NEVER be treated this way! PLEASE STAY AWAY!

Our large group tried the roti naans, red curry, spring rolls, noodles, pad thai, and fried rice, and every dish was prepared perfectly. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, even though the restaurant was busy. Overall, a lovely dining experience.

It consists of slow-cooked chicken drumstick served with turmeric and jasmine-flavored rice topped with a delicious sweet and tangy sauce. Usually, I go for the green curry with rice, but this rice dish is definitely one of the best options on the menu!
