My absolute favourite dish is the Pad Prik Sod and it always has the perfect amount of flavour and spice. The Curry Puffs with Cucumber Sauce really are amazing. These puffs have definitely set me up to be a life long C.P. snob. I have such fond memories of this place - it is a great restaurant to catch up with friends and have a fantastic meal. See you soon, Benjamas!

The meals are served at a very substantial size and taste absolutely delicious. Highly recommend sitting on the balcony as it offers the best view with a nice gentle breeze, although, inside of the restaurant is also great with wonderful artworks on the wall and nice calming music. The time it takes for your meal to arrive at your table will surprise you as it is very fast and I was very impressed with the time.

We ordered the prawn spring rolls and chicken satay for our appetisers. Deep fried pastries with king prawns, a must try. The chicken satay was served with a flavourful satay sauce on 4 skewers. I highly recommend both of them, super tasty. For our main dishes we order the massaman curry with a side of coconut rice. Extremely delicious and creamy. Big chunks of beef and potato with coconut milk and cashew nuts. We also ordered the pad see ew, thick noodles with soy sauce, egg, and veges. Would love to go back and try the pineapple fried rice, pan gang curry, and some other apps. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Staff were nice and restaurant was very comfy. It was so good I forgot to grab pics! :)

The rice was cooked to perfection and the Chili Chicken dish was exceptional. I wasn't that keen on the curry, it seemed thicker than what I normally have at home in the states. It could also be that curry is better in cold weather and it's spring bordering summertime.

Not the best Thai restaurant I've visited. Initially I thought it looked too fancy, but the…read moretablecloth was dirty, the wall beside our table could use a wipe and the menus are shabby. The staff are softly spoken so be sure you hear correctly the meal they deliver. If you try it and send it back as a wrong order, you have to pay for it (as written in their menu). Sounds reasonable but we had one delivered to ours (which we declined before it hit the table), so they may make that mistake too frequently. Cons aside, the food was nice. The complimentary prawn chips were fantastic with a little zing to them. The dim sim entree was lacking in flavour but the salmon choo chee main was delicious. The sauce was superb and the salmon had that perfectly grilled crispness.
