“ A hidden gem for authentic Thai food! The boat noodles are amazing, springy noodles in a rich, savoury broth, easily one of the best in Singapore. The crab omelette and cashew chicken were all excellent too. Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and great value for genuinely delicious Thai dishes. Definitely coming back! ”
“ Such an unassuming place when you enter but their outside seating at the back of the kitchen area is sooo charming! The food as always is banging! By now I have tried most of their menu - some of their must tries are - basil pork, crab omelette, Kailan in Oyester sauce. Other dishes are also good but cannot mention everything haha ”
“ Love this place because it’s pet friendly! This is my second visit and it won’t be my last. They have both an outdoor seating area where you can bring your furkid and an indoor section for those who prefer fur free environment. So do choose your seating wisely, if you’re not comfortable around pets, the indoor area is the better option. During my visit, I encountered an unpleasant individual who complained about my dog. Soe and Sury handled the situation professionally and respectfully and I really appreciate how well they managed it. What impressed me most is how consistently excellent the service has been. Every staff member was warm, welcoming and always smiling. The food arrived incredibly fast, and the overall dining experience was just as amazing as the first time. They truly deserve more than 5 stars! ”
“ Came here to celebrate my fren’s Bday. Didn’t know at end of this lane, lies a hidden gem. This place has ample seatings…indoor Aircon and outdoor alfresco at the rear. And what amazing was almost all their staff are Thais. So it does give an assurance they serve authentic Thai food. This plc serve many dishes u can’t find in other Thai eateries in spore… eg, the raw prawns salad etc… Ordered a lot of dishes. Fm appetizer, to mains, to boat noodles and my favorite Pad See Yew (aka Fried Flat Noodles) Most of the dishes were good. Especially the grilled pork jowl and the salted egg yolk cuttlefish! However, some dishes which I find it’s abit not to my liking… eg. The Moo Ping (BBQ Pork Skewers… too sweet, and too processed ..meh, can skip) the mango sticky rice is good but the coconut milk is a bit diluted vs those in BKK. If u have Thai frens to entertain and they miss home food, this is one of the places u can bring. We had some beers and 3 bottles of own wine (corkage was $30/bottle) so the bill would be lower without alcohol. Enjoy! ”
“ Located within walking distance from Little India MRT, they serve authentic thai cuisine which includes their famous boat noodles. We love that they have both air conditioned area and also an outdoor alfresco area with fairy lights . Do you know that they also have other outlets at Grantral Mall and The Star Vista? Our favorite dish got to be the creamy crab omelette which was super addictive with a generous amount of crab meat. We also enjoyed their Steamed Seabass with Lime and Garlic which was fresh and delicious . We recommend sitting at the outdoor alfresco area with fairy lights in the evening time as it can be pretty windy and relaxing! Perfect supper spot as they are open till 6am! ”
