"Delicious food! Had the chilli basil chicken and the red curry and both were really fresh and yummy! Vegetarian options for most main dishes."

"The staff was very polite and allowed me to order 30 minutes before closing. The views from the place are wonderful. I did not like the Massaman Curry, one of the worst I've ever tried. Too sweet as if much sugar had been added, and the sauce too liquid. Awful massaman. I am sure they have better dishes to offer."

"Absolutely delicious, we thought the crying tiger entree was good, but it pailed in comparison to the bbq pork main, both were so tender, tasty and just mind-blowingly delicious, the Thai sauce on these two dishes was a highlight, we also had Penang chicken curry which was fragrant and tender, the fried rice was also very good. Paired with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a spectacular water view, this place does not disappoint."

"Randomly found this Thai spot in Batemans Bay and it’s absolutely divine. The food was next level. There were two of us and we ordered stir-fried beef with oyster sauce, duck curry, fried rice, and mango sticky rice. Portions were generous and we were absolutely stuffed, but it was way too good not to finish. I’ve tried a lot of Thai food around Australia and this is honestly one of the best, especially the duck curry. You can probably tell from the photo… plates were basically licked clean The view is such a bonus too, indoor and outdoor seating with a beach view. Service was fast, friendly, and super attentive. Everyone was lovely. Overall 10/10, would 100% come back and highly recommend if you’re around Batemans Bay."
