“ No frills Thai food but their fried chicken is the best - this is even my fave fried chicken spot in the metro! Food is tasty, priced reasonably and is generous in terms of portion sizes. Got their drinks before and it's just okay for me. Ambience has the "og street vibes" if you know what I mean but it's perfect for Poblacion. I always go here whenever I'm in the area. ”

“ Great location in Poblacion with open airy dining area. attentive and efficient staff The food is of decent quality and certainly flavourful, but if you are expecting authentic Thai,. this won’t be it. We had the PAD SEE EW which was tasty but lacked Thai flavours Chicken Satay which was very much Filipino BBQ, again very tasty and nice just nit very Thai Garlic KangKong which was as good as you’d expect The Thai Coconut Shakes were Filipino Buko Juice and were a little disappointing The menu seems to have changed a bit lacking Thai Green Curry, Crying Tiger Beef (the name sake dish) and Whole Thai Fish that were present previously. IT was certainly a nice meal, with good service and atmosphere, but very much a Filipino-Thai flavour to it. :) ”
“ I ordered the vegetarian Malaysian noodles. As someone who has spent a lot of time in Malaysia, I thought it was an interesting take. The noodles were spicy and flavourful. A satisfying meal, worth the price. ”
“ Late lunch Thursday. Everything we ordered was good except for the fried rice, it's dry. Al fresco seating. Attentive and courteous service. Good value portions. ”
“ This Thai restaurant has old school vibe that’s definitely interesting. I came here with a group for a late lunch and ordered the pork omelette with rice and pad thai! The service was good and the food tasted great. I enjoyed the meal here ”
“ Very delicious thai food and also a good portion of serving. We tried the black pepper tofu, thai basil pork, papaya salad, and thai quail egg. Took a little bit more time to cook the quail egg so we just take it out as we full already from the other food. Tried also tha thai pandan tea but a little too sweet for me. Overall very nice location and good ambiance. ”
