Had a nice evening with my wife of 54 years. This is one of our date nigh locations They know us by name and the food is always wonderful. We will continue as long as we can find parking close by. Being 85 and 83 years old makes the walk sometimes difficult
Food was quite bland and not enjoyable. We took two bites and ended up leaving. Very different experience than our previous experiences.
Frequent this place and always love it! Great food and service. Many options for picky eaters. Friendly staff and excellent service!
Great food and great service. My only complaint was that getting our food was slow, BUT worth the wait. Food was delicious and hot. Our server Amy was fun and very good even when she was busy. We will definitely be back... soon!
We had terrible service. We waited 15 minutes after being seated before our drink order was taken. The delivery of the drinks was slow. The server never came back to ask if we wanted a refill. I went to the bar myself to get a refill. It was just a bad experience.
Dined with a table of 7 for lunch - had a great experience. They accommodated our large group, with separate checks and did it kindly, efficiently and provided great food and service. Thank you!
The food was great with a lot of variety to choose from. My friend and I both had the tofu on our entrees and were pleased. We ordered the stir-fry medley and moo goo gai pan. Both were good. We will be back to try some of the other tasty items. Service was great and friendly.
Went in for a couple of drinks. Could taste the love and passion that the Bartender kesa puts into them. The food was amazing chicken satay with a flavourful peanut sauce. overall enjoyed the chill atmosphere. Definitely a place to go relax and enjoy a good evening.

We were so excited to visit this place but unfortunately what was served to us was something similar to boxed/frozen meal, defrosted and lightly microwaved. Our $18 entree was barely warm. Side of noodles was lifeless and cold. Food was disappointingly bland. Cutlery is so worn out and absolutely needs to be swapped out for newer pieces. Your local asian pickup restaurant at the corner does it much better than this.
Will not be visiting again.
I worked here for three and a half years. My go to was the Crispy Pineapple Chicken at least once or twice a week, Thai hot 3 or 4 with white rice. I hadn't had it in a long time and was craving it. This isn't a bad review, but it's not the same dish. The sauce used to be a red sauce similar to a sweet and sour sauce and when the red habanero would was added to it as a Thai hot level three or four it was fire. Now the sauce is a brown sauce very similar to a general Tso chicken sauce and when it came out that was my first observation. Before a Thai level 3-5 dish used to be blistering hot. I sent my dish back to the kitchen to be re-tossed in the wok with more pepper oil. It came back out and it still wasn't hot enough. Now I'm asking for a side of the Thai pepper oil to add to my own dish. It comes out and it is some green peppers, seeds and oil that is not the same red habanero and Thai pepper oil it used to be. Before, if you took and spoonful of the Thai pepper oil straight and ate it alone you would be in the pits of hell on fire. Not now. The food was enjoyable. It is not the dish that I was craving. You should go back to the Thai hot that it used to be. My Hamachi Nigiri was really good and Anthony is fantastic. Lori is always a delight.

Fantastic Thai restaurant in downtown Hamilton. The family ordered Lettuce wraps, Pad Thai, Fried Rice and Basil Stir Fry and all were delicious. I would definitely go again and try something different!

Amazing food, yummy sushi and fried rice! Plus we had the sweetest server and they were able to squeeze us in on a super busy night!
The food was amazing—definitely a 10/10! I reserved for Valentine's Day in advance, excited by the menu, reviews, and ambiance. Unfortunately, we were seated upstairs in the event space, which lacked the charm of the main area. The service was quite slow, but the food made up for it. I would highly recommend the menu, but I'd only return if I could guarantee a seat downstairs in the main restaurant. The upstairs area was not as expected from the online photos.
$16 for sushi and I got a total of 2 peices of tuna on rice and 3 small slices of tuna. The texture and taste is almost no different than if you went to Kroger. Biggest waste of money
