First timers at the restaurant. Read the high rating on Eatability and thought we would try it. Very disappointing food. The meatballs were cold! The risotto was thick and gluey. At least the beer was wonderful! I really think the kitchen staff should have a good look at what is hitting the tables before it goes out. Maybe we had some bad luck, but I would not be back again and don't think I would recommend it.

Not the best food at this place. The fried chilli crab was dry and tasteless. I also found their food to have more of a Chinese flavour out of a bottle rather than the fresh taste of true Vietnamese food. It was a shame we didn't enjoy the food as the staff were rather friendly.

Very friendly staff and welcoming. The food is fresh but some dishes are just okay. Overall it is a great little restaurant in the area, and one we would visit again.

We ate the worst Massaman Curry on Saturday night that we have ever encountered when eating Thai. It was very dry. The service was terrible. They don't serve you the rice and just 'plonk' it on the table. Little touches like that make for better service. The girl never returned to clean our plates or ask us for dessert menu. We asked for our bill. Its a real shame that they call themselves a restaurant. The staff are not professional and need to be changed in my opinion.

We were very pleased with the food and ambience of this restaurant. The only thing I would fault was the staff. They just don't smile or take a real interest in you. We waited 40 mins for the Dessert menu and then had to ask for it. A little attention to patrons would make this place a 10/10. It definitely has potential.

Good value and service. The food is steamy and hot and very tasty. There was 7 of us and all were happy with our meal. Its a very casual and inviting restaurant and one that I would visit again.

We went to the Darlinghurst restaurant last night only to be let down. Small portions, and overcooked entree and main (a fried chicken with fried basil). I have eaten much better at local Thai restaurants where you always obtain great value and food. I do believe if you want this restaurant to be upmarket, all dishes must be to standard. $32 for a main chicken dish with approximately 10 small chunks of chicken is too high a price tag. I just don't like being ripped off. Australian foodies are very fussy now with Thai food and expect better quality. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Fathers Day 2011. This restaurant used to be good value and consistent, but these days it is not offering great food or service. We were not the only ones waiting more than 2 to 3 hours for our food on Fathers Day, when it finally arrived it was terrible to say the least. I don't know what the problem is, but its a big one.

Perhaps, too many people and not enough cooks. I never expect great service there, but food is important and now they don't have that either. Don't waste your money, there are plenty of great restaurants in other areas. Never going there again after being a long time patron.
