The service was super nice and welcoming! Food was tasty and much more varied than other Thai restaurants I have tried. We also got good recommendations regarding the quantity of dishes to order. We were looking for a restaurant where our dog would be welcome as well and this was perfect!

Excellent Thai meal. The outside of the restaurant looks nothing special. However the food was superb and service very good too. We had the veggie set meal - highly recommended

Price/value is not good. 120+ EUR for two persons in a very outdated environment with okay food and where the waitress was often not in sightseeing is way too much.

Great food and service. Really liked the authentic Thai food. Red curry and green curries are amazing. You would not be disappointed with the rice either. Highly recommended.

Hidden in an arch by the old canal, this intimate restaurant serves tasty, authentic Thai fare that really hits the mark. Not cheap but certainly worth paying that bit more for a genuine Thai experience. Place was busy.
