Highly recommend the Ping Gai Chicken! It was so juicy and delicious, the dip was a different kind of fish sauce that I'm used to but it was so tasty with the chicken. Open pretty late, it has a nice ambience inside. I would go again just for the chicken!

Queen mother Cafe is always a good time. With a pretty wide range of menu items, there is something for everyone. The ping gai is definitely a go to dish and probably one of the most ordered dish there additionally, you cannot go wrong with their Khao Soi nor their shrimp pad Thai. I will be back.

We ordered Khao Soy Gai$18.95, Chicken&Shrimp Pad Thai$18.95, Spicy Chicken Samosas$10.95. All of them were delicious and flavorful. Will definitely come back for more. (Strongly recommend to make rsvp in advance since Wednesday lunch time there’s only bar seats left.)

Wow.Great spot, excellent service and beautiful back patio.The food was just so well done. Everything from quality of ingredients to how it’s cooked and presented.If you’re reading this, yes, try this place!

Incredible food, absolutely flavourful and great portions. Diverse menu and a must try. They cook chicken like no one I’ve seen!!

After I read the reviews, I was confident enough to order dinner take out. I was really looking forward to taste my order. But, somehow it really didn't turned out what I expected from the reviews I read. A major disappointment I said.Since it was a take out, by the time I started my dinner, everything were "COLD":1) Calamari for $15.95 before tax, the portion size was reasonable & the sauce & the calamari tastes were mediocre. Luckily the Calamari was still crunchy even it's cold.2) Ping Gai for $21 before tax, because the food was cold, therefore the Ping Gai was greasy & the skin is soft. I don't eat greasy chicken skin at all. The cooked chicken was tasteless even after dipped it in the sauce. I only ate 4 piece of the Ping Gai.3) The Nam Jeun for $8.95, the size of 3 fried spring rolls were kind of small. The wrapping of the 3 fried spring rolls were also turn soft. I only ate 1 of the Nam Jeun.4) the salmon for $24.95 before tax, the whole order was also kind of small with a reasonable size of piece salmon, a few pan fry thin potatoes with skin on under the salmon. It came with a hand full of mixed greens salad in another container, but the salad had some bad discoloring Leafs which I picked out & thrown away. The salmon actually was the best tasting from all my orders.5) I asked for a piece of dessert "Mother Chocolate Slice cake" $8.00, but I got a piece of round disc chocolate thing instead, I don't know what it is. I got a piece of wrong chocolate dessert.I paid $94 including tips for the whole order.All in all, it's a major disappointment. I'm not going to comment if the order was over-priced or the quality & quantity of my order,. I leave it to anyone to decide after reading my review.The nice lady who took my order was friendly & courtesy.Therefore I gave 2 stars, 1 star was for the nice lady. The other 1 star was for the salmon.

Ping gai was good. It had a nice grilled flavour. The sauce was mild. The salad was an interesting & good side.

Red curry seafood hot pot had the consistency of Thai panang curry, but a lighter flavour (it still had a coconut milk flavour). It was served with Western vegetables. It was decent.

The spring roll was decent. Inside there was a lot of jicama. It was slightly different from a normal spring roll. The sauce was a sour peanut sauce which was nice.

This is the best chicken I've had. It look so simple, yet it is so flavourful and have an amazing full-bodied taste. This is a must if you eat around here. Nothing beats it!
