Great food indeed, I love Thai food and have a few favourite places but I think this one beat all of them! Was really pleasantly surprised as I wasn't expecting to find something like this in Laverton.

The ambience is also great, very nice atmosphere, if not a tiny bit noisier than I would have liked. The let-down? Service. Well, not particularly in bringing the food. But then for not letting us simply alone. We had half-full bowls of rice that the waitress came twice to collect from our table even though we hadn't finished it! In the end we had to make it clear to her that yes, we Do want to eat it!

And yes, once we finished our meal (we were with friends, gathering after a long time) we wanted to sit, enjoy what was left of our wine and have a chat. But then we noticed the anxious glances from the waiters who obviously wanted us out! In the end, a lady came over asking us "Are you expecting anything else?" which to us was the obvious sign to leave. Very, very disappointing.

As I said, fantastic food, but, unfortunately, the last incident is the reason why I won't be going back. When I go to a restaurant, I go there for the socializing as well, not just to be fed, fill my stomach and leave the table. I can do that at home.
