Mothers Day - nice quiet, well mannered family meal - all good. Then the bill arrived. They overcharged us heaps - then blamed us for his (manager's) mistake. Told us that he didn't care if we told others - or if we ever came back. So here it is everyone - these guys rip you off and then treat you like muck. And, not surprisingly we are not going back! He so knew that he'd tried to pull a fast one.

I don't care how good the food is, there is no excuse for rudeness. There are hundreds of great Thai restaurants out there - I advise to avoid this one if you can.

My wife and I went for a "special evening" & we love Thai food. We had made a prior reservation for 7:30. On arrival we were greeted as we entered, nice. Then we were shown a table for 2 in a 'nook'. Hardly a table for two, perhaps if we were in the final stages of anorexia, but I'm a big guy - so we were moved to a table in a line of 3, very foodcourt. Trying to maintain a nice evening - but they were "out of the lamb" I ordered - this is a Saturday night - now about 8pm. My wife ordered pork - which a arrived absolutely smothered in Corriander "clippings" - so much so we had to look for the pork. The food itself was alright. Part of the enjoyment of a Thai restaurant is the aroma of the cooking in the restaurant - not much chop as the waitress started cleaning the table next to us with a VERY strong smelling chemical spray - which also drifted in our direction. I asked her to use something else but was ignored. We weren't offered dessert, coffee, after dinner drinks etc by the staff who were busy trying to hustle us out for the next punters. Overall a very lackluster experience and no we won't be going back either.
