Food was delicious and very authentic.
Service was great as well as we tried ordering things that weren’t on the menu and they were able to do it.
Dined here last night as our usual place had closed down 😪
Drove around looking for a replacement and saw this place on Walcott street open and easy to park out the front. It was 6pm and walked in without a booking.
Out of the 16 tables of 4 chairs, only 3 were occupied.
Young girl asked if we had a booking and looked a little nervous. I said no, but we won’t be long either . There was 3 of us. She directed us to the front next to the front door and that was were we had to sit. Strange.
Looking thru the laminated menu we chose the following dishes
Golden bags
Tom yum soup
Beef massam
Green curry chicken
Prawn rice
Whilst they were preparing our feast. We admired all the colourful surroundings of the Thai culture & royal family. Very small restaurant to say the least but very colourful and tightly packed room.
Young staff seemed friendly
All in all it was nice.
40 mins later we asked for a doggy bag as we were ready to leave as they were obviously expecting a crowd. Hence they were not to happy we arrived without a booking.
The young girl then said they can’t do a takeaway container as it’s “Free Dining”.
Confused with this, and didn’t want to argue, we then proceed to squeeze more in .
Now Full
I went to pay
The young girl said again , “It’s free dining but if you want to make a donation, that’s fine”
I said no no, I just want to pay the bill please.
Again she said, “It’s free dining as it’s the kings birthday & you make donation please “
I said No, can I please pay with my card.
Again she said, it’s free dining.
I was now confused.
Thankfully a local said, “ It’s the kings birthday and once a year the restaurant can not charge or accept eftpos transactions for meals on this particular night”
So, all meals are Free, including take always.
I apologised I had no cash , thanked them very much & left
I will be back
Thank you
Happy birthday King 👍🏻😇🤗
Great little spot, doesn’t look much from the outside and the decor is interesting however the food quality is awesome and the prices are very affordable! They even offer delivery for only $3! It’s our regular takeaway spot and the food never disappoints!
