Great authentic place! So much food was given, and it was definitely one of tasty green curries i ever had. The service was great well.

The food is always excellent, almost always fast, and the fantastic restaurant owners always friendly, welcoming and helpful - we've been coming here regularly for 12 years and it has never disappointed - it's an Island Bay institution.

Good food, the owner has a great sense of humour and was very funny. Asked for a medium spice level and think we got mild/medium, but better this way than too hot

What a local gem! Came for dinner on a Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised by how busy it was. Everything we ordered was authentic and delicious! As a small business the owners were very hospitable, welcoming us as if to their own home in Thailand. Definitely give this a try if you’re ever in Wellington!

Four of us who all love Thai cuisine. We had a booking for Saturday 19/2.
We were all absolutely impressed with the menu and all of our orders
were awesome. Beautifully presented and the flavours were top notch.
We would recommend this restaurant as a 5 star +

First off all the people working here are super awesome and so friendly and give such great service. I really like this place you can eat in their restaurant all get takeout. But I highly recommend there vegetarians green curry it is so nice. But I would like it if they add more vegetarians options as they don’t have that much. But I still highly recommend this place especially if you are not a vegetarian. You will not be disappointed with your meal you get and the service will you get

People travel out of their way to come to this restaurant Food is top quality. Beef Massaman / chicken pad thai is the best around

This restaurant serves excellent Thai food and has generous portions. Consequently, it is usually crowded and that can cause long delays in service. It is well worth it though, just make sure that you allow plenty of time in your schedule. Their take-away is also very good!

Awesome restaurant that has great food at good value. Loved it and wondered why it had taken us so long to get back. The big surprise was that they were fully booked at their opening on a Thursday night!
