Nice cosey place to dine in. The waitress was very polite and timely. The menu had quite a large variety of choices for a small place. The stir-fried noodles with meat and vegetables was yummy and a good serving size. I was delighted to find a place that served food with flavours I haven't tasted before, as if it had it's own style rather than the usual stuff churned out of larger restaurants. I'm definitely going there again!

I booked a table just before I went for 2 people. We showed up and was greeted politely by the staff. We ordered our food and not long after, we saw and heard an angry, screaming lady from the kitchen. She was yelling at the waiter in Thai language and was pointing to us the entire time.

Then she came up to us, and started yelling at us. I thought that was entirely inappropriate because we had no idea what was going on. Other guests in the restaurant was looking at the commotion. Finally we worked out that the waiter made a mistake, he double booked the table. Someone already booked the table we were sitting in.

The lady came up to us and started yelling 'No table, not your table!' on top of her lungs. That was unacceptable behaviour because we booked a table and it wasn't our fault they double booked the table. She then went back and kept on yelling at the poor waiter in Thai. At that point, we didn't want to stay, we offered our table to the other guests and just left. As we were leaving, the crazy lady came running out of the kitchen again and started yelling again in Thai. I'm just glad we don't understand Thai.

Moral of story: booked ahead, food may be yummy (we wouldn't know) but be wary of the crazy lady. We do not plan to go there again after the horrible experience.

The food is delicious, cute little place that feels very homely. Service staff are beautifully dressed and are very polite.

If you want great Thai food, this is the best I've had in Melbourne thus far. The lady boss is a Thai native, and she is extremely proud of the cuisine she serves. Always book before you turn up - I got shunned on a weeknight a couple of weeks ago because the entire restaurant was booked out (it's a small place)!
