I gave it 5 for food because some dishes are great, and some are pretty dull. Once you've eaten there a few times and know what you like you can do well for yourself here. They always have plenty of staff so being seated, getting menus, having your order taken is always quick and easy. Recently had the seafood sizzler which was great value for two people. Other good dishes are Pad See Ew, and their BBQ lamb & BBQ Octopus.

This has to be one of the better Thai restaurants in Sydney and one of my favourites. I adore their fish stir fry dishes and pad thai. They can do with some renovations though.

Ok so the place is overpacked, it's messy, you can't hear yourself even think however for what you are paying, I would say it's pretty fair enough. You are seated, you order and your entrees arrive in about 5-10 minutes... they give you huge servings so you will never leave this place feeling hungry and the chicken pad thai is Amazing.

If you want a romantic intimate dinner, then this place is not for you however, if you are really hungry and want lots of food which is good food for cheap prices then this place is fabulous. It's a good place to come with 5 or 6 people. Overall, it's not the first time I've been here, and it's not the last.

After a break from Thai food we were looking forward to go out for Thai last Saturday. We were so disappointed. We usually don't care about the service or 'ambience' of a place if the food is great but the food was tasteless, had it not been for the extra chilli we asked for I wouldn't have been able to eat it. This place is always so noisy you have to shout to the person in front or next to you. I won't be returning.

The beef pad see-ew is superb. But that's about it.... the restaurant is not very clean and for me that's very disappointing.

One of the originals and still the best. Tasty thai food served fast at great prices. The red duck curry is a standout, I took a friend from singapore there, and she declared it is the best she'd ever eaten. Have been here at least 20 times, and will go again soon.

We had without doubt the worst service we have ever had in a restaurant here tonight. We were seated in a back corner of the restaurant and not once did anything happen without us repeatedly asking. We had to ask for cutlery twice and still after 20 minutes and our food being cold we gave up and ate with spoons that had been left from the entree. Trying to eat a massaman curry without a knife is extremely difficult.

The food itself was fine. I strongly suggest this for take-away but I certainly won't be dining here ever again.
