Authentic Thai specialties prepared with traditional techniques

  • Prawn Fried Rice

    Very tasty and balanced flavours without being excessive on the MSG. Rice texture done close to perfection without being greasy at all.

  • Steamed Whole Fish (Pla Nueng)

    We had the Steamed Whole Fish (Pla Nueng) - steamed with vegetables with Ginger sauce. I'm pretty sure it was Barramundi. We also had jasmine rice & jasmine tea. They have a $12 lunch special which we'll try next time. It was a really good lunch & we highly recommend dropping in on the friendly staff, or calling to make a booking.
