The lunch deal special is an absolute catch here with is only being $12.9 for a filling freshly cooked meal. I had the pad kee mao and I called them up 5mins before to order to save time and by the time I arrived, the food was ready which was very convenient. The food was well seasoned and tasty so I would recommend here for a quick lunch. The servers were nice as well

Amazing lunch special, definitely the best Thai restaurant in the local area. The lunch specials are outstanding value and they can make dishes vegetarian (and maybe even vegan), the pad kee Mao was very fresh and had lots of basil and chilli notes to it. The star of the show was the pad Thai, the noodles are cooked perfectly (al dente and not broken) and everything about this dish was stunning, from the crunchy vegetables to the sauce and nicely cooked egg. The Thai milk tea and lemon tea was quite strong and tasted like what you would expect in Thailand, so it was a little bit of a surprise to us. We went back a few days later for lunch and had the vege pad Thai again (still awesome) and the seafood pineapple fried rice. The prawns were very fresh and the calamari was one of the best I have ever had. Been back 4 more times, love the pad Thai the most, also really like the chilli basil fried rice and the pineapple fried rice.

Simply love this place! The Thai basil stir-fried minced chicken was nicely seasoned, and the egg was fried to perfect with crispy rim and running yolk. I order to take away, and the very friendly and helpful staff took only 3-4 mins to get this amazing box done!!

Stopped by this new Thai restaurant in Crows Nest for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The lunch special offered from 11am-4pm is a steal at $10.9. The portions were generous and satisfying. The menu is comprehensive and reasonably priced, with most dishes ranging from $15-20. We particularly appreciated the two larger tables under shade in the back, perfect for families with strollers. Can't wait to come back and try the Pad Cha Calamari. The dishes we had were full of flavor and hearty, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was high quality and plentiful. A great find in Crows Nest!

As good as authentic Thai in the lower north shore. Casual and non-pretentious setting, courteous and helpful staffs. The wait for food was a tad long and during the course of waiting, noticed there were many returned customers whom the cashier addressed them by their first name which gives a personal and homey feeling. Reasonably priced, portion of food was decent, they were freshly cooked upon order - could taste the wok hei for the fried rice noodles. We have a low to zero tolerance for MSG and luckily this joint is not heavy handed with it. Will definitely return for more.
