Recommended by a friend, and got introduced to hands down one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve had in Canada, there I said it.

Firstly with the location & ambience;
it’s set in a nice pocket in city of Oakville, where people gather to eat, drink & enjoy the remainder of the late sunsets. Once you step in, you’re in a restaurant that breathes elegance. Modern decor & mood-lighting across the restaurant with tables able to host a couple, or larger parties of 6-8 with ease. The ambience in the restaurant is sophisticated, intimately lit and would be a great place for a date-night.

Service was fantastic, prompt, constantly taken care of - I don’t think my glass of water was left empty for more than 2 minutes.

And finally - for the best part of the restaurant, the food.
There are very few restaurants that do this, but every single thing ordered on the menu tasted out of this world. If I could give this place 6 stars, I would - because it deserves it.
We ordered deep fried prawn rolls, yellow curry, green curry, Pad Thai, and their mango sticky rice. I can’t highlight any single one since each dish blew me out of the water.
Their (milk)teas are also a great add-on the side.

Definitely recommend, and would see me visit this place again to try items which I didn’t get to the first time around. :)

The food was amazing, large portions for the price and very well prepared. Restaurant is quiet and peaceful, very comfortable. The service was absolutely amazing, the staff are very mild mannered and mindful of your needs. Definitely going back when I'm in the area.

The food was excellent and so was the service.
Too dark inside the restaurant even near the washroom areas. Hard to see the signs for men’s and women’s washrooms. I hope they brighten it up little.
The plain water served had a strong smell of chemicals or Chlorine. A good filter would definitely help.

We have only tried the curries (favourite is green and green has, thankfully, no eggplant) and they were delicious. They are on the lightly spicier side so if you can't handle any heat then try a non curry.

The place is calming and very clean too.

This restaurant has the potential to be great but if it fails on every criteria except for atmosphere. The elderly woman who served us was pushy, misleading, stubborn, and rude. When I asked her if the soup was spicy, she said no. False. It came out with whole cut chillis in it and was so spicy I choked and couldn’t eat it. We told the server and instead of offering a replacement, or to remove it off the bill, the woman said we can’t “return it” and that the only thing she could do is to pack it ip for us to take home. I then asked her if they had pag kra pao for my main, and she said yes, but what she brought out didn’t include minced beef or the fried egg that is a key part of the dish at every other Thai restaurant I’ve been to. The food lacked flavor and had more huge pieces of bell peppers and broccoli than it did the (sliced/cubed) meat. When I asked for a knife to cut the massive bell peppers, she took 10 mins to bring me one and had so much attitude as she did. We came to celebrate a birthday but I will never come back here again.

Food is great! We ordered the sweet and sour red snapper fish which we think is the best one on the menu! Make sure you order the whole fish! They sweet basil beef is notable too!

We were served by two different guys, the older one was great but the younger guy doesn't even seem to be happy working there.

Nonetheless, food and atmosphere was amazing. Will definitely go back!🥰

Staff needs training please. We went around 12:30, and were the first ones there but he seemed in a rush and didn't let us settle and started pushing us to order. Didn't ask for any allergies or anything as well. And then they did frequent follow ups asking how's the food,which is distracting
The place is dark which I believe should not be this much dark so much so the bathroom was also dark.
Now the food- please improve the quality, it was not near to thai flavor at all. Plus with the amount they charge and portions they give is ridiculous.
Such a fancy place and then bad experience leaves you simply disappointed.

We visited around 6:00 PM — place wasn’t too busy, just three tables taken, under 20 people in total. Zero wait time. Our server came by quickly and took our order efficiently.

The vibe? Dark but cozy. Not too loud, not too quiet — a good balance.

We ordered the chicken Pad Thai, mango salad, and chicken satay. The Pad Thai had a nice sweet-tangy balance. I asked for basil and cilantro on it, but the server pushed back, saying it wouldn’t be good. I get wanting to preserve authenticity, but I’m the one eating it — let me have my herbs.

That said, they did catch my no-nuts request and omitted peanuts from the mango salad too. Nice attention to detail there.

Overall: good food, good atmosphere. I’d recommend it.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. I found a hair in my food, which was unappetizing and concerning. I brought it to the staff’s attention, but the response was minimal.
The rest of the meal was average, and while mistakes can happen, I would have appreciated a more thoughtful response from the restaurant. I hope this was a one-time issue and that better hygiene practices are followed moving forward.

Went for the dinner last night, The place is way too dark than usual, AC wasn't working at all and upon asking few times they didn't even acknowledge that. Price and food quantity is average overall with the exception of Mango Salad where the quantity of mango was way too less for the price of $17 + tax and comes with two large lettuce leaves under that to look fuller. The Mango sticky rice was ridiculously less with only spoon full of rice and literally 3 small pieces of mango in $16+ Tax. Definitely should fix the AC or should have informed the customers and must adjust either the price or the portion sizes of Salad & Mango Sticky Rice.

Visited the restaurant tonight with a group of four. While the food was okay, it definitely didn’t feel like authentic Thai, more of a generic Asian fusion. Surprisingly, there were no chopsticks provided at an Asian restaurant, which felt odd.

The service was the most disappointing part. The man who “greeted” us didn’t say a word—no hello, no smile—just pointed and walked us to the table. Not exactly a warm welcome. We ordered a generous spread: 3 appetizers, 2 salads, and 3 main courses—more than enough for us. Yet the older woman who took our order (possibly the manager) still pushed for a Pad Thai in a way that felt more like upselling than genuine concern.

To be honest, the overall atmosphere left us feeling uncomfortable. As Asians ourselves, we couldn’t shake the sense that the Asian staff were more courteous to non-Asian patrons, which made the experience feel awkward and unwelcoming.

Wouldn’t return or recommend unless the service improves significantly.
