Description

This little hole-in-the-wall Thai cafe may not be fancy, but it offers a variety of tasty dishes with large portions. While some found the food just ok, others raved about the delicious fried chicken ribs and pad gra pow beef. However, the service received mixed reviews, with some reporting very poor experiences. Despite some hiccups, the food quality and affordability seem to be the main draws for customers, making it a convenient spot for a quick and budget-friendly meal. While the decor may not impress, the flavors in the dishes certainly do, making it a worthwhile stop for lovers of Thai cuisine.

This Thai restaurant in the CBD is one of the oldest establishments and serves delicious Thai cuisine. Their popular spicy chicken ribs are crispy and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The Lard Nar, a stir-fried rice noodle dish with an eggy sauce, is also highly recommended. Ratings: Food 10, Service 8, Ambiance 7, Price reasonable.

This restaurant offers delicious, authentic Thai cuisine. It is conveniently located near Victoria Market and the university. It is not very crowded around 1pm, making it a great option for a leisurely lunch. The prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are generous. Overall, a perfect spot for a quick and affordable meal.

I love the comfortable Thai food at this restaurant. My favorite dish is always the deep fried chicken ribs. The portion size is generous and offers great value for money at $16, where I even got a box of chicken to take home.

Decent quality traditional Thai food . Good prices and lunch specials. Cash only for payments which can be a difficult think these days, as most people don't carry cash on them and use card cards or their phones to make payments.

I had the Green Curry with Beef and it was quite good. Great place for an affordable lunch in the CBD.
