Great food and service. We had a lovely meal starting with the hoy jur, curry puffs and the crispy squid - all fabulous. Mains were fantastic, tender chunks of beef shin with fragrant dressing and a wonderful duck salad. Will be going back!

Wow. Seriously. There are so many Thai restaurants in the North Shore but this one is by far the best. Great service and the food! well, top quality, full of balanced flavour. Awesome. I'm addicted.

Some friends took us to Bai Yok Castlecrag last night. They have been coming here for a while now. I admit I used to wonder why they drove past all the Thai restaurants in Crows Nest to go to this one but now I understand.

The restaurant is not too big and nicely furnished so that you can actually hear your friends and have a conversation. The service was efficient and there when you needed it but we were not rushed in the slightest.

By far the best thing though was the food! Fresh flavours, better menu than your stock standard Thai. Recommend the scallop entree and the duck main that we had was fabulous.

All in all a lovely little find in the suburbs.

Our visit here on Christmas Eve was our second for the year and both times has been a pleasant experience. Parking is a breeze and a table out the front is always a good option. The staff are friendly, eager to please and willing to offer suggestions. I still rate their Pad Thai as one of the best I have had, however, you can't go wrong with most dishes.

As mentioned in previous reviews, this place is a favourite with locals with lots of repeat customers if the banter and familiarity between customers and staff observed is anything to go by.

This is the best for Vegetarian Food, on lower north shore by far!! Try the Vegetarian Red curry, and the Vegetarian Pad Thai, both are best vegan dishes also, no dairy.

Great, authentic Thai food. Have been back a few times now. Best I've had on the north side. Starters and the banana flower salad particularly good.

Very disappointing, food was below standard and portions of meat and poultry dishes were small mainly covered with salad or vegetables. Maybe a popular spot for the locals but nowhere near the quality of reviews as written.

If you like Thai, then you should definitely try this restaurant. I went when they first opened - since then my wife and I have gone there dozens of times over the years. The food is wonderful and the ingredients are always very fresh. The service from Michael and his crew is impeccable. Try it - you won't be disappointed! Even my Father-in-Law loves the place and he is fussy with a capital F!

This place was a disappointment. It's obviously very popular amongst the locals but our meal was of mixed quality. The Tom Kha soup was good but the mixed entrees very ordinary - dried-out chicken satay, spring rolls that were mostly pastry. The duck was excellent, juicy and tender but the massuman lamb was dry as the Simpson Dessert. The fish with chili was very sweet and no heat. In fact, there was little spice in any of the dishes. This restaurant is accredited as a Thai Select meaning it is suppposed to be very genuine. Maybe we caught them on a bad night but for me all the accreditation seems to do is to allow them to overcharge for some pretty small servings of some pretty ordinary food.
