Searching all across Sydney for the correct vegetables, herbs and sauces Amy was able to set herself apart through a stubborn dedication to reminding diners of their unforgettable food experiences on the streets of Bangkok.Three decades later we are proud to continue Amy’s vision by adding organic vegetables from Boon Luck Farm to serve up authentic Thai dishes we ourselves want to eat. Unique flavours the Thai diaspora crave from the motherland but struggle to find outside of their own home cooking.

Great vibe, great food, great drinks, but most of all amazing staff. In fact, one of the best staff experiences I’ve had. They took genuine pride in their service, and ensured us the best experience. From fast-tracking our meals as we were pre-theatre, to helping decide our courses, and then pairing each of us with the perfect wine but in such a caring passionate way so rare to receive 100% recommend
