    Although the table “upstairs” wasn’t quite what we expected, we did enjoy our visit to this slick fast food eatery.

    Service was excellent. Food was terrible. There’s nothing authentically Thai in the flavours or textures. Massaman curry and yellow should be made with cream, not only cheap coconut milk and never has lentils. The crispy chicken tasted like it had been cooked 6 hours previously. Other than that the service was great, food was not Thai at all. Ideal if you like bland nondescript curries. 10% surcharge added automatically to the bill should be removed.

    I was so disappointed with the food - it was the most average/below average Thai food I’ve ever tasted… I had a soup as a main and was astounded when a bowl with some meagre vegetables was presented to me, with no broth, and then the broth poured into the bowl in front of me… This type of serving is reserved for very expensive restaurants usually so it somehow didn’t fit with the concept of Thai food. Plus, what’s most worrying is the fact that it is really fast food - who knows when the broth was prepared and the vegetables were completely unprocessed/ unseasoned before the broth was poured over them… Prices are high considering the quality of good and the quantum… The staff are young and really nice so the service is great but not much else. Would not consider going there again.

    Loved the cosy little alcove for two. The service was friendly and quick. I had Thai green curry with prawns which was delicious. I’d definitely recommend and I’ll be back!

    We ordered pad thai, fried rice, curry rice, and some side dishes. Everything was really good and we received great service.

    Flavor of food and presentation fine. Food was not hot. It was certainly ok food for a mall, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.

    Tasty food, decent portions, good range on the menu. We sat in an upstairs booth which was nice and secluded but we did get rather ignored up there by the staff and had to go down to get their attention
