Tried the Southern Thai curry and Tom Yum spaghetti — both were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked! The curry was rich and spicy, while the spaghetti had a creamy, tangy tom yum twist. Great location too — just a short walk from the wharf. Highly recommend!

I have an order 5 dish that everything is fantastic. Especially, Spaghetti Tom Yum Prawn. It looks nice and delicious, the flavor is creamy and a bit spicy and sour from Tom Yum. Who love to eat spicy taste? I recommend Salmon sashimi, top with Thai dressing and creamy mayo. It’s perfect combination of taste, You don’t miss up to order it. Next to Salt & Pepper Squid, It’s looks plain but taste is not plain. I love this dish, it’s not too much salty. The Wagyu beef salad top with herbs and house-made dressing. Beef is rally juicy and dressing is bit spicy but when you eat in one bite, the dressing helps beef have more flavor. It’s yummy. For the last one that I forgot to take the photo is Pad Thai Prawns (traditional Thai food). It the same taste in Thailand that I haven’t find in Sydney before. Who love to eat Pad Thai, I recommend you must be order from here. For all over is really great for me. I will be back here if I have a time.

I ordered a Pad Thai with the spring roll set with ONLY $17, the food came so fast after ordering (There was no other customers in the restaurant, because they just opened 2 weeks ago). The Pad Thai was so delicious and authentic and the spring roll were so crispy. The staffs was very nice and friendly. Love the vibe. The restaurant are located just next to the Manly Wharf, I couldn't believe I can have a delicious and authentic Thai food in a low price after a beach day. Definitely coming back if I come to Manly again

Lunch for $12, set meal for $17 is UNREAL! Not only they are competitively priced in SYD moreover in Manly, the quality and serving was not compromised. Food was authentic and sinfully D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S except a tad salty to my taste. Thais are known for their warm hospitality and this is what you can expect here too. This has to be the best hole in the wall joints in Australia. Will undoubtedly return for more…

We stopped here on our way to Manly beach for a quick lunch. The fried rice and green Thai curry were both good. The family run vibe was great and the pricing was quite economical.
