These guys make amazing Thai food and we would love to buy it more often but some of the portions are borderline insulting. Kinaree.. You guys are great, but this paltry amount of Pork/Cucumber Salad for almost $18 with taxes is downright unreasonable. (took this picture immediately after opening the container.. This is what we got for $18)Please please do something about either your prices or your portion sizes because I do want to keep buying your delicious food, but I won't if this doesn't improve.

The service was great, we were seated quickly. The portions were good and the price was really decent. I had the pad thai and it was fantastic. It's a small operation so don't expect fast food but expect good homemade thai!

Food taste wise was ok, not something I would rush back for. I do agree with a lot of the comments about how the portions are very small.

I've honestly never left a review before. I was so dissapointed by this meal. Portions were way too small, and the food was really not on par with Thai food I've had other places. I won't ever go back. Sorry to say that.

Easily the worst Thai I’ve ever eaten in Canada! Skimpy portions, poor quality and non authentic tasting food, bad / rude service. I’ll never return. Hopefully Courtney / Comox will eventually get a Thai restaurant of high standards and quality.

Everything was great. Food was excellent. Keep in mind they are short staffed at the moment so do be patient and kind :)

Not the friendliest staff, that's for sure. I was waiting in line to order and I overheard the manager belittling a staff member in front of guests, it was appalling. (My first impression)As a recent visit me and a friend went at 5pm for dine in. Eventually we were seated and the sunlight was blaring on his eyes as we were sitting in the booth. He started to move the curtains on the windows where we were sitting to block the light from his eyes, and immediately the manager/owner of the establishment got up and told us to stop moving them. As we explained why we were doing it, he got very defensive and angry at us.Does customer comfort not matter to you?Also the takeout orders come much smaller than dine in, which is disappointing.Great food but the service is awful, staff is rude and seemed very unhappy.Please treat your employees better. Shame..

My negative review has nothing to do with the food or the service as I got neither. I came into town on a bicycle and wanted to eat at this place because they were supposed to be open at 11:30 a.m. as it said on their web page. Upon arrival I found a handwritten note on the front door stating they were not open until 5:00 p.m. It doesn't take 5 minutes to get on your web page and change the hours or put a notice up saying you have an emergency which will help people decide if they want to come over to your restaurant. I rode 15 km out of my way from my campsite to eat at a place which was not open and did not even have the courtesy of posting it. It appears the large number of negative comments are justified for this restaurant.

The dishes are on the small portions and are expensive because of that . The taste is ok definitely not the best thai I have eaten. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere.

We wanted to love it but the food was seriously disappointing. The peanut sauce was very watery and didn't taste like peanut. The whole dish was like day old Chinese food..greasy, limp vegetables and canned mushrooms. The service was good but we will never go back. Yuck.

Peanut sauce was thin and flavorless. Vegetables were greasy. Canned mushrooms. Very little meat. Very very disappointed. Had better at mall kiosks.

Delicious and quick. Friendly and informative waiter. Somehow the cook knew what I wanted! Blackened prawn veges and the chef's noodles. The chicken satay is so good and try the Change beer, very very good on a hot day.
