I was worried I would be disappointed since the food took less than 5 minutes to “prepare” and unfortunately I was right. The vegetables were raw which made the carrot impossible to chew and the dish in the picture lacked flavour, it was as if some sauce was quickly mixed with the rest and served with a side of rice. Most of the vegetables were onions and the “spring roll” tasted like one of those bought in bulk, could it be maybe because I showed up 30 minutes before closing time? (2pm) the place is small and I was the only customer there but I had to ask for a napkin to clean the table myself. Lots can be proved here, sorry.

Peanut Thai Chicken that I had was mouthwatering delicious. One small issue was quickly addressed and I was very pleased with everything.

My wife and I have been long time customers and make the trek from Bear Mountain to dine on their Tom Yum and Tom Ka soups. Best we can find in Greater Victoria and we have tried all. The flavour is spot on and they always provide us with a generous portion of vegetables, chicken and prawns. Only negative I'd say is the price is a little more than a few places but I'm willing to pay a premium if the food and portions are good.

Absolutely the best yellow pineapple curry in town! The staff are so kind and fast, all our meals have been so delicious. Oh, and coconut rice!

Curry was too sweet. Food was overpriced. Won't order here again. Thought I'd try it. Almost $40 for 8 piece tofu and a small red curry, after service fees, taxes and tip. A rip off.

It's always a disappointment when a $28.00 order for 2 dishes, plus "service fee", taxes and tip equaling nearly $40, end up being mediocre. Ordered the deep fried tofu appetizer, and red curry with pork. It just wasn't very good. Felt I wasted my money.

Not a lot of room to sit and eat but the food is amazing.

The food was outstanding. We had Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai and Penang Curry. We like a bit of spice and medium was truly that. Made our mouths dance and has left us excited for our next order.

Correct Thai cuisine, nice portions and a lot of choice, the staff is very friendly too!The coconut rice is excellent and the dishes tasty, don't hesitate to stop by and try it if you don't know!I will definitely go back to taste other dishes because for $16 or $17 a dish it's cheap to eat well!

'Prawns & chicken tossed noodles' were tasty. Similar to drunken noodles, yet not overpowering seasoned, I could taste lime from the dish. It comes along with some broth.I do not know what kind of broth, though.... it was just a salt water to me. I had a one sip and couldn't have more. It was just too salty, not edible. I told the waitress about broth. I didn't get any response.
