Just had Pad Krapow (chicken) for takeaway lunch and it was amazing. Flavours were on point and very fragrant. Ordered medium heat and it was exactly what I would expect heat wise. This is as good as the best Pad Krapow's I found in Thailand. Will be back to try more dishes.

Authentic Thai flavors, absolutely delicious! The papaya salad tastes just like it does in Thailand, and it’s hard to find this kind of taste. For dessert, you must try the ice cream with jackfruit—it’s amazing. Highly recommend visiting this restaurant!

I had a fantastic dining experience at the Thai food store in Geelong! The food was incredibly tasty, bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Thailand. The service was equally impressive - the staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. I can't wait to visit again!

A good place for Thai food. They have a wide range of options. The food is tasty and the portions are right size. You can choose the spice level of the food. If you are not used to too much spice, be careful cause the high levels can get very spicy. Good service and a clean place with ample seating indoors. Prices are reasonable.
