Run by a Thai family with three generations cooking together; Archie (the manager) known for sharing the history of the building and the family. Authentic Bangkok-style preparations noted, with proper spicing (including grilled chilli with adana-style service). Some reviewers note it calibrates slightly to Australian palates on heat levels.

Priced on par with a standard Thai restaurant despite the regional location, which reviewers consider exceptional value given the quality. Occasional price complaints from diners expecting cheaper regional pricing, but the majority rate it as outstanding value for the standard delivered.
