A hole-in-a-wall restaurant that offers authentic Thai food! The chilli chicken basil is oh-so-good, and of course their version of Tom yum soup. This restaurant is always packed, yet people are willing to queue or wait as the food is undeniably good. I highly recommend this tiny gem!i

Good authentic Thai food. Had dinner with a friend here recently, and although the restaurant itself is not fancy and very small, the food is incredible. We ordered the Red Thai curry with chicken, pad thai, tomyum soup and spicy fried rice. All were exceptionally good and fresh. Its also BYO beer and wine which makes it cost friendly too. Dishes are reasonably priced and staff super friendly. It wasn't busy when we were there on a Saturday night,but i have heard it can get busy on the weekends and because it is only small it is a good idea to book to avoid disappointment. i would definitely go again.

Approximate cost: $15-20

We came here for dinner on a Friday night without making a reservation - it was a busy restaurant but staff were helpful in accommodating the three of us. We got a table not much long after and our food was served very quickly. We ordered the red roast duck curry, a pad thai, fishcakes and had a bowl of rice to go with it. The food was delicious and very tasty - the curry has just the right amount of spiciness and was very satisfying. Servings were generous and was great value for money. It was a small little restaurant with not much seating (~25-30 people I'd estimate) so it's advisable to make a booking before going. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and will definitely be back soon to try other dishes. Highly recommend this little food joint if you love good Thai food at reasonable prices!

What a little gem! Simple, unpretentious and memorable. We stumbled upon it by chance on a visit from Hobart and later discovered it was relatively new to the area.
The food was inexpensive, generous serves and authentic flavours. Be prepared for genuine heat (I don't know if they "dumb it down" on request but we were happy).
I would go back in a heart-beat for the omelet - chicken or pork served with rice and chili sauce!
Service was tentative but friendly and the unsophisticated small space was clean.
I always appreciate an open kitchen and was very impressed with the cleanliness of the space and the immaculate presentation of the chefs - always a good sign!
Highly recommend!
Highly recommended!

A small restaurant with simple decore but the food speaks for itself. Both dine-in and take away were busy. The food is made fresh from quality ingredients. We had various entree's and mains and each was well prepared and tasted great.

Approximate cost: $13.90
