I ordered chicken pad Thai and the portion was half of what I expected with twice as much sauce as was necessary. It was so saturated in sauce that it took away from the flavor of everything else. Only a few pieces of chicken. Not the value I was hoping for based on what I paid. I remember eating here a few years ago and it was much better with a larger portion.

We locals here in Nelson. This quality of Thai food has definitely gone downhill!! We order here usually one or twice a year, this time it was worse again! Pretty good flavour but the red curry was so watery like soup?! The drunken noodle was ok? The portion size has gotten so small!
So sad 😞 hopefully it gets better or better competition?

Good Vegan stir-fry. They have Chang. Beware of the changover.

Delicious and authentic! I was surprised to see dishes here that a lot of Thai restaurants don’t routinely have on their menus eg. boat noodles. We tried the panang curry, kuay tiew tom yum, and chicken wings and everything was fantastic.

Unfortunately, my experience here fell short of expectations. I ordered the spring rolls and a red curry (Tofu Panaeng), while my wife had the Tom Kha soup and my daughter the Tofu Pad Khai. All of the dishes were, at best, average in flavour and presentation.

The service was also disappointing—distant and lacking the warm, welcoming atmosphere I’ve come to appreciate in other Thai restaurants. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend nor come back.

Everything meal that I’ve ever ordered here has been good, but I crave their curries. They are excellent!! First class! I found the service prompt and there are very sweet servers here.

This restaurant was highly rated on google and so my family and I went to eat dinner there but were not impressed post meal. Both of the noodle dishes contained insane amounts of sugar. We found the dishes to be excessively sweet. We ordered pad see ew and drunken noodles and I was astonished at how much sugar was thrown into both dishes. Also, one of our noodle dishes had undercooked noodles. I was hardly impressed with the flavor profile of the drunken noodles. We would not come back to this restaurant and was very disappointed with how the food was that night.
