Really took me back to my Thailand trip a few months ago! We had Pad Thai and Crispy Chicken, both were really yummy and filled us up nicely - good prices as well. Would definitely come back!

I came in 2 days prior for the Pad Thai - hmm not the best I've had. But, I returned 2 nights later and had the Mussels and Thom Yum Khai. Ooohh Yes. Absolutely delicious! Ngā Mihi Kai Thai.
