The food was great value and high quality with lots of different flavours and textures to enjoy. I recommend the salmon sashimi and red duck curry. The service was quick and workers were helpful and friendly. My nit-picky critique I have is the Bangkok Belle cocktail was very sweet and didn’t pair well with the food, but was still a great drink for someone looking for something yummy and easy to enjoy.

Nice Restuarant cool vibes with a nice mural, food was excellent at reasonable price, don't know if they know how to make a long island tea, had to send it back way to sweet. Overall, our waiter was good although some staff were inattentive. Would go back but not on a Sat as they were fully booked out and even though we had a booking we were told we must be out within 1;30 min, which is a little rushed as were the meals coming out. Overall a great eatery just seemed rushed on the night.
