Is this place run buy chinese people? Doesn't matter, I only had the pork chop rice which is below the standards you would associate if you ate at Cabramatta but at least they gave me 2 pork chops! Ambience wise it feels a little old, food came out at a reasonable time and the prices are fair. Need to come back to give this place a proper review.

Haven't tried the Korean bbq but whats on the menu is good. Its a little more than I expect to pay but that is the only minor issue I have with this place. I like the food here, their bento boxes are decent and the service is polite. Food comes out at a reasonable speed and though there is not much ambience here its at least clean. A cheaper option than other places in Burwood.

Its a hidden place which, for the first time, a thai place not run by thai people.

Prices were a little expensive for the small portions you can. Service wise the waitress is polite and the food didn't take long to come out. Ambience wise I like its isolated location and I like the atmosphere inside.

Food wise its average at best, the satay sticks are food court quality but at least the duck curry tasted the way it should.

I would come here only if I didn't want quiet time from the hustle and bustle of Chatswood.

They have 2 stores, one just a few doors down so they must be doing something right! My girlfriend likes this place, but myself, my resistance to chilli food is weak so I struggled thru it. Portions sizes are bigger than average and the service was ok, they struggled to understand me but thats a minor issue.

Ambience wise its pretty plain, almost food court feel to it, It is a place I would come back too but maybe order less chilli food, if thats possible.

Decent selection and reasonably priced but I'm not sure if the prices are reasonable because of your membership. Have ate here a few times and have no complaints about it. Its tastes just like what you expect it too and there is plenty of seating. Never ordered from the grill so I don't know how long it takes but in general service as fast and efficient.

I had a great laugh here, but all for the wrong reasons.

A bunch of us came and it was sunny but, unfortunately, all the big tables are located next to the windows, so we had to sit in the spots where there was shade.

I had no issues with the food though it didn't have the same quality as its counterparts in the city. It was the service! While the trolleys did come over often, it was how the staff told you the food and then, literally, put the food down on your table and wanting to mark off on your bill. We never even had a chance to say yes! How puchy! The funny part is my italian friend fending them off from putting food on our table that we didn't want.

The price is expensive, it was roughly $38 each which is about the most I've paid in a long long time. They need curtains or something to block the sun on sunny days, it was hot! Not a place I would come back too.

I like the big Budda paper mache they have.

Apart from that there is not much to recommend apart from entree's, which tasted better than the mains. The mains were nothing special.

The toilets, are strangely not marked out, there is 2 figurines on top of a door which I'm assuming is to say thats the fe/male toilets but its not clear. The furniture is 1970's old and the cutlery/bowls seem old.

Pricey food but thats what you expect with the location. Service was ok. Once again disappointed by another Malaysian restaurant! You can find cheaper versions elsewhere.

Standard thai food, not bad but nothing special either. Have been here a few times already and despite its location it does get people at night time.It's service is mixed, sometimes the food comes out quickly,other times it feels it takes a while. At times it was hard to wave down a waitress as they seem to be running around like headless chickens!

A little expensive but I found their sushi train better choice than their cooked food. They have a ultra violet box which? kills germs, I have never seen
this before. Service is a little on and off, the place though is nicely done inside.

Its a nice place, though the toilets are a little old. Its' very busy for a saturday night, I would recommend booking. I asked to be seated near the front and the request was noted but we were seated 2 tables from the front.

You come here for the atmosphere, with the old structure and watching people walk by.

Food wise, I had the twice cooked pork belly, and it was the easiest pork belly I have ever had to cut through. Usually the crackling is hard but this was really soft and I liked it. My partners pasta though wasn't as good. It tasted a little old and not fresh. The entree duck was nice.

Service wise a little hit and miss, sometimes hard to find someone, the food took a little but longer than expected to come out and my partner thought the service was poorer than expected.

Price wise, it what you expect to pay when you're at the rocks, near the water, having a view of the Opera house. It's not cheap.

Overall I didn't mind my experience but I'm not sure whether I would come back.
