This place is fantastic for both drinks and food, and it's popular among foreigners. I really enjoy their homemade durian ice cream and their Khao Niaw Mamuang (sticky rice with mango). They serve excellent Singha Thai Beer but in a San Miguel Beer glass. The restaurant is LGBTQIA+-friendly, and the staff are very accommodating and friendly. While there is a service charge, you can also give a tip if you are particularly pleased with the service.
Great Thai food. Strangely enough their seafood in red curry only has a hint of spice despite supposedly being “normal” spicy. Our favorites would be the chicken satay, prawn cakes and chicken pandan. You can’t go wrong ordering those. The seafood in red curry could be spicier. I couldn’t really taste the crab in the crab fried rice.
We have dined here many times over the last 5 years. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly and first class. Our go to dishes are the shrimp fishcakes with sweet chilli sauce, satay chicken, tom yong soup and the amazing lamb shank. I highly recommend this greenbelt restaurant if ever you visit or stay in Makati.
We tried the restaurant on our first night in Manila as we wanted a quick bite after a long trip. This restaurant seemed to be very popular amongst expats. The service was quick and friendly. The food was well presented and tasty. Staff seemed to love working there which is IMHO a very good sign. Altogether, a very nice, “no fuzz” experience.
