Had a lovely time in their cute restaurant on the main street in Geraldine. Young wait staff were friendly and attentive, the food was great and arrived pretty quickly (they were doing a roaring trade with phone orders too). There’s a cool outdoor seated area as well for the warmer months. Really enjoyed this wee gem in Gerraz, highly recommend.

I hate to do this. I feel absolutely horrible because the service is so beautiful and welcoming. We were able to order on the self service kiosk which was easy to use and stress free while making decisions.
Unfortunately the food was a huge let down. $94 takeaway order and we were reassured it will take 10mins to cook. I was impressed with time efficiency and we did come in 30min prior to closing so was grateful. I now understand why everything took short cooking time as everything we had was clearly microwaved. Everything was chewy, hot on outside, cold inside, rubbery texture, dry and soggy. Crispy chicken salad was the worst $20 meal, in photo he didn’t touch the salad and that was the salad the chicken sat on. The fish cakes were hockey pucks with a rubber exterior. Chicken satay skewers were just as disappointing and the roti was like soggy cardboard. Curry was expected to be Thai hot and I wouldn’t say it was mild but flavor was great but chicken was again dry and chewy
Pad Thai was very good flavor wise with fresh sprouts but noodles were gluey.
Rice was perfection.
We will plan to order again one day maybe earlier as the food could had been as it was due to closing in half an hour and will happily change my review on a second opinion.
Sorry for the review and hope it was just a one off. Kind regards

The food tasted okay, a little too sweet. The Tom Yum noodle soup was delicious, and the Panang Tofu curry was good. The staff provided good service.

We really enjoyed our Thai meal with a difference. The food was fresh and tasty, plenty of good vegetables in the meal and the waitstaff were delightful. Served up fresh and efficiently. Good range of options.

Pass by Geraldine at awkward hour and this appeared to be the only restaurant that still open. Was hesitant by the comments but it turns out incredible. Tried mild spiciness but I should have just ordered medium. They are quite nice to offer my extra chillis if I want. DON’T TAKE AWAY pls, stir fried food should be eaten piping hot and is best to dine in. Most of the negative reviews I read was take away order and I’m glad that I still give it a try.

Dropped in to this new establishment on Saturday night in late July.
We started with the Crisped Duck Roti which was delicious.
My darling had the Chicken Larb medium and I had the Hong Kong stir-fried noodles with prawns kiwi hot. Good job guys, would certainly make Kowloon Hong Kong proud I must say.
Rocked up again last Tuesday night for another favorite flavour hit.
Duck Roti again of coarse.
My darling had the Pad Thai with chicken kiwi hot and I had Green Curry with chicken Thai hot…Yummo!!!
We also orderd for take-way the Hong Kong Stri-fried noodles and Sweet & Sour crispy chicken kiwi hot for a late night snack and my life saver lunch due to our kitchen being in disarray with reno’s.
Not only is this establishment fresh, clean and vibrant, the absolutely lovely staff who are so cheerful and always acknowledging.
Especially Ri Ri the ultimate pocket rocket as I call her.
A P so full of zen.
What good forsight business mind and guts you have Jibby, I tip my hat to you.
