The menu is quite extensive with various different types of Thai dishes including appetizers, salads, soups, noodles, rice dishes, curries, vegetarian options and desserts. Prices are pretty reasonable and portions are generous. The menu has detailed descriptions for every dish which is great if you are new to Thai cuisine.

A great appetizer to start with is the Crispy Chicken Spring Rolls. These perfectly fried rolls are bursting with flavours. The spring rolls are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It is also accompanied with a sweet chilli sauce to give it an extra kick.

For the entree, the Pad Kra Pao ($14) is a must. The dish is stir-fried with spicy basil chilli, bell pepper, red chilli, broccoli and topped off with a fried egg. The plate has a very fragrant aroma and the taste is absolutely wonderful. The basil leaf is extremely aromatic and it is the reason why you should always order this dish when having Thai food.

It is paired with some other veggies including red pepper, soybean paste, basil, and onions. The dish has a delicious balance of sweet and spicy taste associated with Thai food.

For dessert, the Pii Nong Mango Sticky Rice($11) is a must-try. Pii Nong takes this popular Thai dish to another level with four distinct flavours of sweet coconut sticky rice: pandan leaves, butterfly pea flower, turmeric, and Thai ice tea. Served with a mango rose and fresh coconut sauce on the side. Not only is this dish visually pleasing but it is also very tasty. You will be surprised with the various assortment of flavours, especially when paired together in one mouthful.
