Quite expensive for Thai food, around $20 for a curry, which is twice the price of many places. That is what happens in Wilston, all the cafes and restaurants overcharge alot, cheap options are not there. The place is ok, clean and small, not that atmospheric. The place was busy and well run, very efficient and organised and pleasant service. The food, I tried the green curry, was quite good, the curry was creamy and solid flavour and good quality chicken.

The best part here is the meals are quite a cheap price (less than $10). The Tom Yum was ok, a little too sweet though, the massaman curry had decent flavour, but lacked some punch in spice, and the potatoes that took up most of the dish were uncooked and not edible. It was quite poor to say the least. The meal was rescued by an excellent Green Curry, which had plenty of flavour and was not sweet like so many Thai places. The service was grumpy, barely able to repond to our polite thankyou's, they simply frowned and walked away.

We had no idea we had to go to the counter to order, we were given menu's and told to sit. Even when I politely went to say thankyou and bye as we left, I got no repsonse, just a grumpy stare, seems like the staff are never happy here. That said, our meals arrived quickly. The atmopshere is not bad, nice setting and tables outside in Chinatown. I guess is a good cheap option for cheap meal, but maybe stick to the green curry as the rest we had was not great. For me, I won't bother again as the service was surly and poor and 60% was not good.

Quite a good place, witha strong variety of dishes. I had a spicy beef hue pho, it was not bad, a little blander than others I had tried, but the ingredients were fresh. We tried duck soup which was also fresh and tasty. The salads and the rice papers rolls were decent. Not the best Vietnamese in Brisbane, but reasonable.

The service was prompt, smiling and professional, the seats outside and even inside take in the atmosphere of the pretty Chinatown. Value was reasonable, but I have eaten more authentic Vietnamese alot cheaper, this tends to cater slightly more for western taste buds than Asian, but that is not bad, it was quite decent.

Great atmosphere here, it has been renovated and looks great, the best atmosphere of all the Korean places in Brisbane. The food has improved too, we had quite a decent meal and the waiter was very very helpful and friendly. The prices area little high, maybe $3-4 more for simple dishes than other Korean places.

Solid value as a lunchtime option. It is small and cramped, but is a good place for quick food. The food is of good quality, I ate spicy cicken and was quite satisfied. the service was fast and smiling polite. Reasonable value too.

Good fresh ingredients make for some quality food. The atmosphere is clean and typical of Korean place, busy and modern and clean. We had a table with a poor design where the BBQ was burning our legs under the table, most uncomfortable. We ate a lovely hot pot (Budae chigea) which was fresh and fantastic. This hot pot is a mish mash of korean and something the Americans eat in Korea, it is spicy with Asian vegatable and with spam(!), sausage, instant noodles and processed cheese in a spicy chilli broth..sounds strange, but very very tasty. The entree's, kimchi pancake, was really tasty as well. Service was decent, the first time we ate here was not great, but second time, service was quite decent.

Brilliant place, for me, easily the best Korean in Brisbane. The lunch menu is incredible value, all you can eat dishes with spicy fish and miso style soup included for $10, great value. The chigae's (soups) are very very tasty and fresh, every dish we have tried here is very good, tasty and fresh.

The service is prompt, polite, not chatty, as they are always so busy. The venue is simple, clean, not a place to linger but you are here to eat and..fast. The place is full of korean's and that is a good sign..fantastic place!

We ate here a couple of times, enjoying the pretty ambience of Chinatwon outdoors. Each time the waitresses were very friendly and helpful. It may have helped my partner speaks Korean though, making it easy to get things right.

The food was fantastic, we ordered the kimchi pancake..wow. best one I have had, strong and spicy. I tried some Japanese style beef and it was tender and delicious, as well as the spicy korean soup too. The salmon teriyaki is very well cooked and of good quality. The prices are a little high, and unlike other Korean places, you have to pay for side dishes of Kimchi here, which I feel should be complimentary with Korean meals on the menu.

Great food, the Pho's are very good and tasty, as are the salads The place is simple in decor, pleasant enough. The service is ok, not overtly friendly, but just polite enough and reasonably prompt. It is always busy here, a good sign the food is tops. Value is quite reasonable, around $10-11 for pho and a tad more for more solid mains.

Quite good to see some Portuguese food in Brisbane, although this is more of the Indian/Goan twist, there is some authentic Portuguese fare as well. The place is well lit and good decor and has a nice ambience in an old building in the Gabba. The service was decent, friendly and helpful. The meals were good, mine was very tasty and my partner's was too. I tried some spicy chicken and she has an unusual oysters dish in lime/curry sauce. The prices for mains are around the $20 mark, so not super cheap, but not too bad.
