This place was horrible. They are pretty slow on service, the food took just under an hour to be brought out (there were 10 other people at the restaurant at the time) and the waiter and waitress kept on confusing our orders. The ambiance was nice but not really “Thai”.

When paying the bill there was a lot of confusion between staff. They tried to charge one of us $30 for the $10.50 soup got the staff got quite aggressive when we refused and said that was wrong. There was also confusion in regards to the corkage price which was also frustrating.

A very unpleasant experience for a birthday dinner. Thought it was just a bad night for the staff perhaps but after seeing other reviews it could be like this all the time… Would highly recommend anyone not to go there!

Went here tonight for dinner. Was not impressed at all. Ordered Deep fried larb which came out as a tiny portion, five two dollar coin sized pieces of meat. Additionally, the service was rude and abrupt but unfortunately, not efficient in the slightest. Would not go back, especially for the prices they charge,

I went here for a friends birthday dinner and I have to say it was pretty disappointing. We got there at 7pm and the mains weren’t served until just after 8.30pm.
We had the chicken satay for an appetizer and whilst the chicken was cooked really well the satay sauce was very weak and I barely noticed it was there.
I had the yellow curry for my main and it tasted like coconut milk mixed with water. The potatoes were barely cooked as well. I couldn’t eat my curry with my rice because the rice stole all the curry flavour.
Two out of the three waiters were very rude and one would sigh loudly because he couldn’t tell us the name of the dish that came out of the kitchen and referred to it by its number only so because we did not realise which number was what dish he got frustrated at us.
The prices were also a lot different than indicated on this site. My curry dish was $22.50 not $17.50 as this site would tell you.
All in all I have to say I have had better Thai in places that are at least half the price, and I have never left feeling still hungry like I did tonight.

Loved it. Great ambience, fantastic food and what a wonderful central location. We had just seen a show and all the fast food joints were packed and I was on crutches. The food was great, the prices normal for Thai and the service impeccable. And we were there awhile and never got that hassled feeling that we were taking too long. A+++

Went there before the comdey show at the civi and it was an expereicne… bit slow on service, but funny as hell and delicious food… so were going back now before another show and it’s across the road from the civic, which is perfect and corkage is free, so what more could you ask for!

WE went again as it is so close to the Civic and ordered entrees and mains and were asked “Do you want it all together?” to which we said “No thanks, entrees first, then mains” and we got mains first and had to tell them we had entrees still to come – all rather funny, food was amazing again and the laughter and smiles all the way through more than made up for the reverse order!!

The service is not good and the food was terrible. We ended up leaving hungry from the restaurant and eating Wendy’s burger instead. Also the food is very expensive. Ambience’s is nice, but i did not go to see the ambiance I was intending to eat some Thai food. I would say the food court food is far better than this restaurant. Our anniversary dinner was a disaster.

Was very disappointed in the service, meals were not being brought out together, but quite a while after others. They messed up a lot of our party’s orders and charged 7 dollar corkage per bottle, but had a sign saying free corkage, conditions apply, no conditions were stated. There was no atmosphere or key touches that customers like, eg, mints for after dinner, no background music, no welcome from staff.
The food was OK, but am sure there are much better Thai places out there in the city. Much preferred it as The London Bar.

Good service and tasty food. A little bit expensive, but ok for a town location. Good serving size. Enjoyed the red spicy curry, but thought the fish cake entrée was average. Yummy cocktails.
