Visiting town and decided to give this place a try because I love Thai food and this looked like a calm place with a cute outdoor seating area. Really good food.. the veggies tasted fresh and were cooked with just the right amount of crunch and the tofu was fried perfectly. I wish I had Thai food that tasted this good close to where I live! Lots of vegetarian options on the menu. The waiter was working very hard and was busy with a lot of tables but very friendly and took time to chat with his customers. Would definitely go back if I lived here!

Food was very good. Although it took an hour and 45 minutes to finally get it after we had ordered. You can expect a wait as they are short staffed, and have a sign at the front letting you know as well.

My friend and I had lunch here this week and the food was good. I had the Drunken Noodles served with chicken and my friend had the Pad Thai Noodles served with prawns. Nice atmosphere and friendly servers.

I made a reservation for 6:30 and when I arrived with my party it wasn’t busy. We found ourselves waiting over 10 minutes before being noticed and guided to a table. We placed our order about 10 minutes after being seated. We received our drinks in a reasonable amount of time and our appetizer arrived about 20 minutes later. We then watched takeout orders go out the door for over an hour before we were told our food was being started. We were not asked if we needed more drinks. They clearly have problems setting their priorities straight as they prioritized takeout orders over the customers who were sitting in the restaurant. The food was salty and they gave us the wrong Pad Thai which had a strong fishy taste that overpowered any peanut or other flavors. Overall, I wouldn’t eat here again but suggest if you want to try it, do NOT dine-in, order takeout!

Always go here for Thai..shrimp pad Thai is the best..not spicy. Friendly staff and they have our choices memorized...We go here so often...Level entrance for our elder parent and atmosphere like a night out with family

I visited this place a while ago now and really enjoyed the food. At the time I tried the red Thai curry, and it was delicious. The ambience in the restaurant is good and they were very accommodating - I was able to get a table for three on a busy night without a reservation. If visiting during the day, make sure to take the extra time to enjoy Cadboro Bay.

The food is so good I don't mind waiting, service was quick before the pandemic.

Waited an hour and a half after being seated for food to arrive. When it came, it came so staggered that half the party had finished eating before the other half’s dishes arrived, and one person’s dinner didn’t arrive at all before we had to go. Food was fine but absolutely not worth the wait. Waiter was unapologetic and refused to offer a refund, only a gift certificate, in exchange for the food that failed to arrive in time. Will absolutely not go back, and would not recommend.

An extensive menu, but I never got past the specials. I had the seafood medley served as a curry (choice of red or green). Why rice is an optional add, I don't know, can't imagine having it without rice but there you go. It was delicious, my partner reserved half of theirs to go, me I just kept eating the whole thing, it was chock full of seafood throughout, nit just a random sampling. Staff was attentive and helpful on what was clearly a busy night. This has been a consistently great satisfying experience.

The food is so delicious. It is always so busy (at least for take out orders!) and if you eat there you will understand why. I absolutely love coconut rice but it is the flavor of the dishes that takes it over the top. I particularly enjoy the vegetarian cashew dish. I'm not ashamed to admit I lick my plate clean it is that good!
