Lovely little neighborhood Thai that is a tad nicer than a lot of the places in Crows Nest. While the menu isn't too different than a lot of places, it does have nice fresh food, a classy vibe and great service ( in fact the staff couldn't do enough for us!).

We visited with a group of 6 friends and I must say how refreshing it was to have Mexican food that was a cut above the usual. The food itself was lovely-full of flavour and fresh- would recommend the corn, the cuttlefish, the quesadillas and the chorizo. The frozen margaritas were fab and the service was great.

Was a bit disappointed with the size of the restaurant, it was way too overcrowded for the size of the room and if you like quiet restaurants then this isn't the place for you. It is a tad on the pricey side for the size of the meals, but having said that it was great food and it is encouraging to see that the owners are at least trying to do something different !

We went there as a school holiday treat with our 13 year old and found it to be as good, if not better than when we last visited a few years ago. We had the buffet deal and found we had a huge variety of food - gyoza, miso soup, seafood, beef, chicken , salads and dessert - there was something for everyone. It's a great place to take kids.

This is our stand by when in the area visiting family. A lovely little neighborhood Chinese restaurant- nothing fancy but excellent food and fantastic, friendly service. A lot of vegetarian options as well which is great because we always have a vegetarian with us. This is a great standby - if I lived locally I would be there every week!

Popped in here for breakfast, after being tipped off by a local and found it to be excellent. The corn fritters were fantastic as was the coffee. We later came back for afternoon tea and found the cakes to be excellent. The setting is lovely and the service We will be back when in the area next.

We have been coming here for years but were very disappointed to see that new yum cha ordering system. Not only does the place lack atmosphere now, but food came out in totally the wrong order- jelly before dumplings, egg tarts before what was cold pork spare ribs - absolutely hopeless.

We visited here in a few weeks ago and found the restaurant, the service and the food to be an absolute delight ! Not only was the service provided by Jackie and the team faultless, but the setting was tranquil and private. The food and the wine just topped it off. We loved the pork belly and smoky tofu entrees, the nam jim chicken salad and the dessert platter. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

This place reminds me of the Chinese restaurants we used to go to when I was a kid. It's nothing spectacular, the food is good but is a kind of Australianised Thai/Malay hotchpotch. The room itself is nothing spectacular but the service is good, the prices are reasonable and it's easy to get into. It's an institution amongst locals in Manly and I can see why- it's a good, cheap night out.

Went here yesterday for a family birthday. It was the second time I had been here. Our food was excellent as was the service. We took my 4 year old nephew and baby niece and the staff were great with kids. The food is great, the room is quiet and the view is outstanding- don't be put off by the aging bowling club facade- this place is a hidden gem!

Went here for lunch on Saturday with my parents. Mum had raved about it as had my brother-in-law who works nearby. Knowing the neighborhood, I didn't exactly have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. Great honest simple food, excellent value for money and good service. The atmosphere isn't fancy but it's not unpleasant either, I'll be back, the best restaurant pasta I have had in years!
