Food and service were up to scratch. But you need to watch prices on the bill. They charged an extra meal we didn't order ($15.50). The lunch-time menu on the website and the menu you order from has incorrect prices. Most meals were actually $2 dearer and the coffee advertised as $3 was charged at $4. They deducted the extra meal OK but challenged the prices saying the new menus were being printed and they reserve the right to increase meal prices without notice. How unprofessional.

Food is always excellent, (make sure you clarify what you mean by mild/hot), standard variety of thai dishes, every is authentically prepared by a thai cook (don't be put off by the all-Aussie wait staff). They have a limited range of desserts or non-alcoholic drinks (I hope they improve on that).

The ambience of the place is architecturally outstanding, a lush sanctuary, directly outside is frenetic plenty road, but inside the stylish restaurant you will feel comfortably cocooned from the outside world.

Their prices are fairly high for Bundoora, (likely thanks to the serviced apartments above it), but it is still good value. If you are in the mood to complete the Thai experience, there's even a day spa next door.

Food is very nice and the service is always spot on. Can usually get in with no booking on a Friday night. This restaurant has become our go to option when we can't be bothered cooking and want to go somewhere locally that has nice food at a good price.

We like the food very much but staff a bit rude. Management should keep monitor and improve the services.

A good Thai restaurant. Very nice, authentic food - very similar to food in Thailand (if you ask!). Try the pork larb. They aren't afraid to hurt you with chili if you ask.
Service is pleasant, although a little slow on busy nights - but that means all the more time to sit, relax and drink wine.

Highly recommended.

Beautiful Thai food served with class in a spacious restaurant with an authentic Thai ambience! Fast and pleasant service although compared to other Thai Restaurants on this side of town, definitely in the higher price range. However you get what you pay for and it is well worth the money!

I loved it. Thought the food was fantastic. A little bit pricey for an outer suburban restaurant but a nice treat, then again it is a fancy one. Would definitely go back again. Be sure to book because they are always busy!

We were part of a large-ish group that pre-booked. We were squashed on the table with one of the 'extra seats' practically placed in a walkway. We ordered a meal for a toddler which came with nuts even though we specifically asked for no nuts. Maybe they were having a bad night. The food was of good quality though, which is a plus. I'll go back, but maybe on a quieter night.
