TLDR: Restaurant atmosphere (music and decor) was lush, relaxing and welcoming. Everyone was professional, attentive, provided exceptional service and great food that makes me think of home (I’m Thai)… the name of the restaurant speaks for itself after all. FULL REVIEW: First time at this restaurant and it’s an extremely rare thing for me to give a 5-star rating and it’s 100% deserved… Where to begin (because there are so many positives to my experience with them tonight). Their service is PHENOMENAL! From beginning to end the wait staff, chef and owner (Uncle Keo as I now call him) embody what it means to be Thai. Once my waiter knew I was Thai he went to get the chef so that I could speak to her in our language and ensure I get what I want and can talk to the food in a way non-Thai can’t. I gave a brief rundown of why I’m in Christchurch and even though I’m only here for a night, I miss home (specifically my mum’s cooking)… after the waiter gave me my main course ผัดกะเพราหมู [Pad Kra Prao Moo] and went back to the kitchen, he came back to ask if I wanted ไข่ดาว [Kai Dow] which of course I said yes because Thai fried egg is traditionally eaten with this dish. The chef checked in on me periodically for general chitchat, and to make sure I was happy with the food. When I said my ผัดกะเพราหมูไข่ดาว [Pad Kra Prao Moo Kai Dow] wasn’t as hot as I would have normally have (I eat a lot of chilli for obvious reasons) she made me พริกน้ำปลา [Prik Nam Pla] a traditional Thai chilli dipping sauce that we eat with most dishes which completed the meal for me! Talk about above and beyond… She is truly a lovely person and her food is equally as lovely! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner “Keo” so I could thank him for everything, it was more than a simple transaction. His chef and staff made me feel welcome like I was at home (even though it is a stylish restaurant) and the food was อร่อยมาก [very delicious]! I have promised to come in every time in the future whenever I’m in Christchurch 😀 If you want to experience Thai hospitality as it should be then you should come to this restaurant. Yes it might seem a tad pricey for the average Joe but it is on par with all other restaurants within short walking distance, so there’s nothing for me to complain about there. One last thing… Thank you to the man who served me tonight, you were very considerate, going above and beyond in your service, holding the door open for me as I left truly made my experience a fantastic one. I ordered ผัดขี้เมา [Pad Kee Mao] for takeaway to have later which I’m sure will be good too. ขอบคุณค่ะ x
