this restaurant is the best thai i have ever had. its definatly worth the wait as its quite a small place but once seated the staff are very friendly and the food is absolutely delicious and well priced.

Excellent service, excellent food. The locals know that this is the most successful small business restaurant on the main strip. There is hardly ever a night where their tables are empty. Food quality is identical to Newtown quality, which is made available to the local South-Westerners. The manager is extremely friendly and likes engage in one-on-one conversations which makes you feel like you're a valued patron. The downside to all this is that you may be waiting outside for up to an hour or more for a table. The upside is that the manager hands out free drinks to those who are waiting.

Approximate cost: $15

Excellent service, excellent food. I heard so much about holy basil from friends and family i just had to try it out. I went there for dinner tonight. We had to wait a bit but the service was great they brought out free cocktails and fried rice, there were seats and a outdoor heater for us to wait under, well inside the interiors are amazing. They got everything right, a waiter overheard i ran out of water and came to give us more cold water. The price was reasonable too. I'm so glad i went there.

Approximate cost: $10

Nice place. Not usually a fan of Thai food but went here with friends and the food was quite tasty. Busy even for a week night. Wouldn't mind coming here again.

Had their pad thai here and pad see ew, tasted wonderful. It is a little more expensive but the ambience is very different to other Thai restaurants in that the atmosphere feels a little more authentic.

Like the aroma of Thai cooking only if thai cuisine can go easy with the sugar!

The service was up to standard as any other restaurant, however it was a little bit more expensive compared to other Laos and Thai restaurants in the area. Setting very serene environment, however when windows open on a hot day, flies are troublesome.
