First time trying this Thai restaurant out and was pleased with it. We ate: Fish Cake Stack- nice texture and consistency to it and was great with the dipping sauce Thai Lemon Grass Chicken Wings - Great crunch and flavour and nice tender chicken inside. Tom Yum Seafood - reminded me of the flavour I had in Thailand,very very nice. Thai Green Curry Chicken - great spice and flavour to it and chicken pieces were tender as well. Pad Krapo+ Kai Dao Chicken - great stir Fry dish and nice flavour and balance of ingredients in it. Pad Thai Seafood - Tasted like am authentic one. Good sweetness to it and lovely fresh seafood. Overall I loved the taste of all the dishes and would recommend it to someone who is craving good Thai Food. Service was nice and friendly as well.

Absolutely fantastic, everything was on point. The star of the show was the Grandma’s Mussaman; delectable. You can tell it is made with love… And the coconut smoothie, such a refreshing drink & palate cleanser. Even then, everything else we had; the presentation, flavour, aroma, just 10 out of 10. This place is a real hidden gem, so glad we found it. Be back soon

I came here for my birthday and it was such a lovely experience! The lady who served us was so helpful and nice. The restaurant itself was a cosy place that was fairly busy on the Friday night we visited. However, the food was the best part of the entire experience. So flavourful and tasty that I'll be dreaming about the meal I experienced. 10/10, will be visiting again!

Fantastic food, great little atmosphere. The place is small so it fills up quick so if you want to come With a group plan ahead and if you are by yourself just stop by. This place is fantastic! I had the garlic pepper omelet with chicken, the curry puff, chicken skewer and a mango milkshake.

Great place for Thai food. The food is cooked with love for their customer. It felt more like home cooked food rather than a restaurant. The taste was kinda authentic. We had our dinner here three days in a row during our stay in Adelaide. Will be coming to back to this place if I visit Adelaide again.

Absolutely my favorite Thai restaurant here in Adelaide! Food is delicious and the owners are really friendly and give the best service they could. The atmosphere of the restaurant feels very local and doesn’t feel like a typical franchise restaurant. Which is something i like feel is a nice change. Warm and homey feeling. Be in mind that food may take longer as there is only 2 people (the owners of the restaurant) cooking and serving/ordering the food for customers. Overall I recommend this restaurant, it is truly worth it to go try this restaurant!
