This was a problem because the front door and a flap above that door would not close properly, leaving gaps through which a cold draft flowed. When we used a wedge to force the door to stay shut, this caused the flap above the door to open further. When some diners from another table (who were also cold) latched the flap shut, the staff approached us and said that it had to remain open in order to properly ventilate the kitchen. I have to say that the food was actually quite nice, but even this went cold more quickly than it should have. I was uncomfortable for the whole evening and the staff seemed unwilling or unable to help us. If you feel the cold, you should probably avoid this restaurant during winter.

We also had chicken with cashew nuts and pork belly.Staff were pleasant - all Thais - and attentive. Our total bill was $91 which included a $9 glass of wine. Quite reasonable.All in all a good experience - the place was popular early on a weeknight.

Friendly staff, good food and good value.Started with pork sticks which were tasty. Seafood stir fry was even better. Deep fried fish plus squid and prawns and they added just the right amount of extra chilli when I asked for extra spicy. Portion size wasn't large, but with rice was just adequate. Reasonable quality wine at a reasonable price. Couple of drinks and two courses for around $45 was pretty good value. Definitely worth visiting if at this end of Melbourne.

The atmosphere is pleasant, attracting a younger crowd. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for its reasonable prices and tasty dishes.

The beef salad dish was also fresh and well cooked. The flavors were strong. We had a good eating experience here and come back.
