Overall 1.5 - Food 1, Ambience 2, Value 2, Service 1

So disappointed in a recent visit. The satay chicken was dry,sauce was good. fried rice was a sloppy & wet .Thick chunks of cucumber, overripe tomatoes, undercooked beans/broccoli were the veges and dry tasteless pork.

Never had fried rice with salad veges.

Meals I had there last year were reasonably good.

Service was poor. (Food lover - January, 2010)

Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 9, Service 9

This is a restaurant i go back to regularly. I adore genuine ethic food and this is simply the very best of the Thai offerings in Auckland. (pete - January, 2010)

Overall 5.8 - Food 9, Ambience 5, Value 8, Service 1

Excellent food, but extremely rude and poor service. We were asked to sit next to the toilets and had a waitress barge in between us having a conversation to check out table number. We ordered pina colada and the listing was not in the menu, when we asked how much they were- the waiter brought the entire sign post from the road to show us the price. Since it was Valentines Day, there were limited seating, unfortunately the sitting crew literally asked us if we were not happy with where we were seated then they were happy for us to leave. (khushi - February, 2009)

Restaurant response - I wish to point out some misleading comments in this review.

Firstly we do not have any tables next to the toilets.This person was sitting at a table near the stairway that leads to the toilets.Our toilets are downstairs and we would never position a table next to the toilets.

Secondly the cocktails are written on a small menu board that was brought to the table for the persons to read.It is not a signpost from the road.

Our apologies if the waitress appeared rude when reaching out to look at the table number which on that night only (Valentines Day) was attached to the budvase.

the night was really made special by my dining partner. BUT the staff are very competent and the price was right (Mister Malloy - March, 2008)

Overall 6.8 - Food 6, Ambience 7, Value 6, Service 8

Three of us had the duck curry and the duck was quite tough, also portions were small. The salads were better. My friends had a great meal there last month but we all thought it was average. The entrees were plentiful and nice though (January, 2008)

Overall 6.3 - Food 8, Ambience 6, Value 6, Service 5

Definitely a place to try. The menu was extensive going beyond your usual Thai dishes. An entire menu catered to Vegetarian. (January, 2008)
