    We chose this restaurant to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Reservation was easy and we were seated on time. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful to suggest spice level (medium) for certain dishes. The food came promptly and was as expected for our favorite dishes: samosas, yellow curry (with wagu beef), pad ka pow (with crispy pork belly), roti, and jasmine blue rice. For dessert we had mango sticky rice. To all of our surprise, the wait staff brought the dessert out on a decorative stand with a candle in a strawberry on the side. They sang happy birthday to our daughter while playing drums and cymbals (apparently because I indicated on the online reservation that is was for a birthday meal). Nice touch! Service was excellent, food was good for Thai, portions were average, and a bit pricey, in my opinion (120-125 + tip) for a party of four. Would go back for special occasions as the restaurant has a festive vibe.

    Always great good food and ambience. Pineapple fried rice, eggplant, and curry are yummy. After lunch, walking around the plaza and ferry building was fun.
