Authentic Thai flavours are the consistent praise across long-term reviewers. notably not sweet-adjusted for Australian palates, which separates it from most suburban Thai options. Owner Kim and the team are described as a genuine Thai kitchen.

Excellent value. most reviewers call it significantly cheaper than comparable quality Thai in Melbourne, with generous portion sizes. The $9 fried tofu and sub-$20 mains are frequently mentioned as standout value.
