We were lucky to get in just before the queue began forming. Ordering was easy and straightforward through the app. We ended up with a set lunch that included a main, a side, and a drink, everything was absolutely delicious. Our only complaint? The portion size was surprisingly generous, we could have easily shared one set between us!

Very attentive staff, delicious food and good ambience. All the food we tasted was packed full of flavour. It don’t feel like the ingredients were prepackaged packet / canned stuff. Rather fresh. Excellent Thai and some of the best in Hong Kong. Menu: please make the font larger as we could barely read the tiny script. Cheers

To be honest, food wasn’t bad at all. The chef who in charge of barbecue is very professional. The barbecued food we ordered were good. However, i found that I feel uncomfortable with the bar table even though I normally prefer bar tables. I understand that they might wanna let you experience the whole BBQ cooking process. You can see those raw meat right in front of you. I have to mention that I personally prefer bar table but those raw meat are a bit too close to the cooked food served on my table and my glasses of water. They had been taking some of them by the time during my dinner. And I had been worrying if any juice or sauce of those raw meat would spill out on my food.

The green curry chicken was too salty for my liking. They were nice enough to remake the dish for me. But even after the 2nd try, the dish was still too salty for me. So they were willing to switch the dish to something else for me. I was pleasantly surprised by their willingness to change the dish for me as I always heard that the restaurant servers in hkg can be quite rude and impatient. Overall food was good. The spice level is definitely adjusted for local taste. I liked the bran curd salad and coconut chicken soup. The veg could be cooked longer as it's a bit hard and the stem part was a bit undercooked

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. The food was excellent; we ordered the seafood barbecue set, and all the seafood was perfectly cooked—fresh and incredibly tasty. The service was also very attentive. When the waiter saw that my daughter wasn’t tall enough to sit at the table, they kindly offered us a baby chair, which was very thoughtful. We’ll definitely return and highly recommend this place to our friends.
