We had four at our table and each person was very pleased with the whole night the food was very good and the service and staff could not be faulted, we will certainly return. Every dish was superb. The beef massaman was especially succulent & both desserts heavenly (choc mousse & panna cotta) Great service & lovely ambiance too.

Very tasty food with a lot of options to choose from giving everyone a favourite of their own. The place is quite busy meaning longer waiting times for food and more preferably it would be best to pre-order your food. Ultimately, this place is has a unique Thai cuisine and has a lot to offer for a wide audience.

The food that was terrible. Dish was supposed to have cashews they did not put them on two occasions. Food had no taste. It was waste of money! Don’t recommend it and never 👎🏿 going there again.

We usually get take away but decided to eat in last night. Will be doing that more. The staff are lovely and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. The kids had beef fried rice and roti bread, I had the Seaford curry while my husband had a noodle dish from the chefs specials. All meals were delicious and there was heaps of it. I was able to take home our leftovers and we ate them today for lunch. We're massive fans of The River Kwai!

This is one of the best Thai places I've been to. The service here was amazing! And the food was exquisite!
Would recommend the vegetable tempura and the Burmese chicken noodles. Really good!!

Great service and food. You'd want to stay at least 90 mins to enjoy the food. We walked in without a booking and the staff managed to squeeze us in for an hour's sitting. The experience felt smooth and efficient. Definitely an instant favourite.

Had the Pad Thai and the Seafood Green Curry

Seafood Green Curry was great. On the border of Medium to hot, a nice amount of prawn, fish and scallops.

The Pad Thai Prawn was great as well. A large serving with King Prawns, I challenge you to finish it.

The table service was also great as they were friendly and accommodating.

I was a bit torn with this review, as I wanted very much to give it 4 stars but settled on 3. Here's why...

There were only two other customers at peak lunch hour on a Sunday. A couple dining in that had already been served and a man waiting for his take away order. I was warmly greeted upon arrival but had to wait a few minutes before they brought me a menu, so I went to grab my own. They brought over the lunch menu soon thereafter.

I was shocked at the prices. $16 for one dish and rice is extra? This was their lunch special? This included many popular items from pad thai, fried rice, curries

Take away is cheaper here but don't let that stop you from enjoying a sit in.

If you visit, try out the papaya salad and their coconut rice has actual coconut shreds mixed in!

Undoubtedly my favourite Thai dining experiance in Melbourne.

When the restaurant first opened they would have a tasting night one Monday each month. $20.00 for a smorgesboard of about 5 mains. Then it went to $25.00 and two sittings, such was the popularity, and then they just didn't need to do it, such was the rise in popularity of the restaurant.

Over the years the prices have escalated, but the quality of food has not changed. This consistency has gained the suburban Thai eatery a regular place in the good food guide.

THE MENU;
The quality of this food is great, with all the classics

Went here with a group of girlfriends for dinner. The drink service was a little slow to start as not all our group arrived at once. However, once we got the waitresses attention the drinks were served very quickly.

The restaurant was nice and clean and staff polite. Not overly friendly but nice and helpful. The prices are fairly good - not cheap, not expensive. The quality of the food was really good. Sometimes with Thai you can get quite greasy food, but this place was really fresh.

Service was quick and no fuss.
Selection of beer was pretty good, they had a few thai beers that
