This is the worst Thai food I have ever had the displeasure of tasting. One can tell that the fare is going to be mediocre when tinned mushrooms and baby corn are used instead of fresh vegetables.

We ordered the chili chicken with cashew nuts and a serve of spring rolls. The chicken meat was brown flavourless fatty meat, unlike the normal breast meat that is usually used in a dish like this. For the price that is being charged there is no excuse to cut costs and try to pass off below standard dishes as thai fare.

The spring rolls had not been cooked long enough and were soggy and cold.

This eatery has not been separated from the public bar and as a result is full of cigarette smoke. The atmosphere is further ruined by loud Asian pop music, making it impossible to have a conversation.

We also ordered a pot of jasmine tea with 2 cups, which should have only been $2.50. What was served to us was not jasmine tea, but had a tea bag hanging out labelled green tea. (There is a big difference in the flavour of each tea) We were then charged $5.00 for our 1 measly pot of tea because we had asked for 2 cups.

Even in most fine dining Chinese restaurants they only charge the flat rate for the pot and keep refiling it for free.

The proprietor, cook and staff have much to learn about basic hospitality. Needless to say we shall never go there again.
