Pad se ew was terrible

We went for lunch on a weekday with reservation beforehand. This place is very popular and with limited seating so reservation is a must. We tried quite a number of dishes and each was a very pleasant surprise. The Tum Pia Ra salad was very refreshing we ordered it non spicy as my daughter tried the regular one before and she felt it the spiciness was overwhelming. The crispy pork toast I will highly recommended. Then the Tom Yum soup was so good is another must try. We ordered the soup only with mild spiciness but I think next time we would go for the regular spiciness. Pad See Ew was also very good but last but not least and my most favourite dish of the day was the mango sticky rice dessert. You have to try it cos it's hard to describe in words to do it justice.

Amazing food! The crying tiger beef was perfectly tender, the pad see ew was so delicious, and the stir fry veggies were cooked to perfection. I also loved the mango sticky rice with the crispy coconut cracker on top. Everything was delicious; highly recommend!

This was my second time having dinner here, and the experience was fantastic. The staff are friendly and always smiling, the food selection is diverse and delicious, and I love that you can choose different spice levels. I plan to keep coming back to try everything on the menu!

My wife loves Thai food, and this spot came highly recommended by a family friend who swore it was the best Thai she’s ever had.

The restaurant is easy to find thanks to its bright orange exterior. The staff are friendly, and the service is impressively quick. It does get busy around dinner time, so I’d recommend making a reservation. We came mid-afternoon, and by the time we left, the place had already filled up.

As for the food, I personally found the flavors a bit on the mild side — I usually prefer the bold, intense punch of Thai spices and herbs. That said, the dishes were still well-prepared and enjoyable, likely appealing to a wider range of palates. My wife absolutely loved her meal, and the drink presentation was adorable.

The restaurant’s warm, inviting atmosphere makes it perfect for a casual date night. I’ll definitely be back the next time my wife is craving Thai food.

This place is amazing. The crying tiger steak was perfect and the grilled pork was even better. Amazing mango sticky rice too. I will for sure go back and try other things, everything on the menu looked great.

Updating my review since the issue with the vegetarian menu was addressed. Happy to say it’s a wonderful spot with some great veggie options and good service

I was told the vegetarian menu is not actually vegetarian and dishes contain oyster sauce and fish sauce (they even checked with the chef). I have nothing against this restaurant but it’s misleading vegetarians into thinking that they are not eating animal products when they are.

We reserved for our group of 8 before we came. Greeted at the door to confirm reservation and got our table quick. Server was amazing, friendly and gave us really good recommendations. Food was great. Be ready for the spicy hot food. if you want really Thai spicy, I’d go to this place. Love to come here again soon. Highly recommended!

I come here almost once every week and the food has always been very good.
One minor issue I’ve encountered almost every time is the slightly long wait time for food after ordering

Update to reply on owner’s comment: when I requested to change the dish, I only ate maybe 10% of the dish, so your claim of me finishing half of the meal and asking for different dish is completely wrong. Shame on you.

Dunno how this place is a Michelin. What a joke. Worst Pad See Ew in my life. I notified the manager and asked if I can change to different dish to which the manager refused and gave me a dumb 10% discount. To make it worse, service sucked too. Server never came to me to check if everything was okay. Didn’t even refill my water. Don’t go to this place for Thai food. There are other far better ones out there.
