Great place, never had a bad meal in 15 years of dining here. We have had intimate dinner for two to family gatherings of up to 50 & never been disappointed. The owners are great, really helpful and go the extra mile to please. We have out of town family that visit & insist this is the place to dine & catch up. The prices are great value with a selection of food from babies to 90+. If you haven’t tried it you must.

Dinner for 8 at 6:30pm – Meals were served swiftly and to everyone at the same time – the A6 was a bit oily but still tasty – everyone enjoyed their meals and there was plenty to fill everyone up. The staff were friendly and made the night enjoyable – Recommend

The decor is great the staff very friendly and surprisingly to me, the place filled with seemingly happy diners.
The menu is a bit limited but reasonably cheap and cheerful eg the red and green curries we ordered were $15 each. The bad news is both these curries were insipid, bland and perhaps the worst I have encountered. How hard is it to make a green or red curry? Both dishes smelt unpleasant on arrival (perhaps overdone fish sauce/bamboo? and looked very watery. The red curry was simply bits of roughly cut schnitzel swimming in a watery grey soup with obviously frozen peas and beans. Both dishes were flavourless. Both had stalks of lemon grass. There was no coriander garnish, no sign of a kaffir lime leave, no basil. It was cheap. It was edible, but some establishments (eg Satay Kingdom in Cuba Street) can bang out a very flavoursome mee goreng or Laksa for sub $10. I would not return, which is a shame as a pleasant location, pleasant staff and decor. maybe the “chef” is Japanese, and cooks great Japanese. But Thai? ( and I have eaten at a few) definitely look elsewhere.

Very disappointed with our visit to this restaurant. It was recommended and we had been warned about the basic, tacky decor which was as described. The staff can’t be faulted on how friendly and welcoming they are and the speed of the service was very good. Two of the dishes that contained pastry were undercooked and chewy. The curry was supposed to have seasonal vegetables in but appeared to have supermarket frozen vegetables in and very little meat. One had only 7 thin cut slithers of meat swimming in a bowl of curry which could have been mistaken for it’s canned cousin from the supermarket. The taste was pleasant enough but we didn’t consider the dishes value for money at around $18 each. No steamed items on the menu, other than the rice, and very few Japanese dishes. However the Teriyaki Chicken was excellent and the other main was adequately tasty. Won’t be going back I’m afraid.

To me this is the best Thai in the Wellington region – lovely Tom Yum and good curries. Very well priced and the staff are just lovely.

I go as often as I can – I live in Wgtn City but the trip is worth it.. I have taken everyone I know and they enjoy it too!

Food was good, the decor is simple. They mucked up the booking so we ate downstairs which was rather sterile and busy with takeaway diners, but good food for the $, would definately return, and looks to be pretty kid friendly as well.

Went there last night and they were SO accomodating. We brought our 15month old and everyone was very helpful in seating us, getting her a highchair. They were amazed that she liked thai food, and everyone came upstairs to visit.
The food was good, not ‘designer’ Thai, just simple fare, but the Pad thai was great. It’s not the freshest most amazing Thai food ever, but the price is right, the service was LOVELY, and the atmosphere nice. We’ll be back again!

Great staff, really fast helpful and they understand what you are saying, a good range of nice food at good prices. Curries or japanese and a few western meals. Sit upstairs for a good view outside, nice on a wet winter night eating good food and looking out at the rain.
Been there a number of times and always enjoyed it.
