  My friends and I decided to venture out to Docklands to satisfy our Thai cravings at this restaurant. Walking in, the restaurant is quiet, with a small and cozy setting. I wouldnt come without booking a table as with ample seating and space, youre probably going to have to wait outside for a table.

  As the menu offers a large variety of entrees, we couldnt help ourselves but order 3 of the best sounding ones in our opinion. The Salt and Spicy soft shell crab offered that perfect crunch with a kick of spicy flavour. Next, the Coconut Prawns- deep fried prawns and coated with shredded coconut, this was my favourite entree as it tasted crispy and delicious with the serve of Thai sweet chilli sauce. The last entree we ordered was something a little different called the Gai Hom Pah. They were these 4 pieces of roti bread, rolled up with Chicken satay and seasoned with an abundance of peanut sauce. This was good, however, we couldnt taste not see much of the chicken satay in the rolls. For the most part, I was just eating the roti with peanut sauce.

  As for the mains, we couldnt go past the Prawn Pad Thai- a signature Thai dish that we can never get sick of and Nine Elephants version was just superb, not to mention those prawns were big and juicy! For a more mild curry, we went with the Yellow curry- which virtually wasnt spicy at all! The potatoes were cooked until soft and had well and truly soaked up the flavours of the curry, as did the other vegetables. Overall, a superb curry that I would have over and over again, Ill definitely be back for more one day!

  Ambience was great but food was average. But the reason Im giving it 2 Stars is because of terrible customer service. The lady had an attitude issue and would not fully hear us if we had a question regarding one of the dishes. Before ordering the dish we asked if the dish could be made in fried rice instead of normal rice, at that time she was like yeah no worries. When the food arrived, shes like sorry we dont cant customise and make it fried rice. As a courtesy I would have liked for her to tell me this before the dish is made, but when I tried asking about the dish, lady walked away. Gave us cold shoulder the entire time.
  I requested her to make my dish spicy, instead it was sweeter than a sugarcane. Overall if the customer service was better I would have given it 4 Stars regardless of the food because I believe customer service is the most important thing for a restaurant.

  The standard has changed here and the quality of food, roti and coconut prawns were not up to the usual standard. Friendly quick service, limited but satisfactory wine list. The menu definitely needs attention as the layout and font are not easy to read. Our fried rice and stir fried noodles were delicious, but overall not quite the experience weve been used to.

  Today’s experiment brought us to this little spot in the quiet side street of Docklands. On a Monday night there were few diners, so the place felt somewhat empty. We soon placed our orders from the big menu, both choosing the red duck curry to pair with coconut rice.

  Flavourful pieces of duck were combined with a range of vegetables to provide a wholesome dish. The ample curry was delicious but also a bit watery for my liking, almost soup-like in consistency.

  The well-lit, modern decor was pleasant in the quiet ambience. Service was polite but we had to remind them for our tea. As it was a quiet night and they had multiple staff, this should not have been necessary and the ratings reflected this.

  Quite a simple and small place that is known for Thai Food.

  Ordered Fish Cakes, Fried Rice and Spring Roll. Everything we ordered (except fish cakes, which were chewy and bad) was decent, nothing exceptional though.

  Bookings would be great. Service was quick and efficient. Good options for Vegans and Vegetarians.
