What a find! Best Thai food certainly in JHB! An unpretentious tiny restuarant serving amazing food - huge variety. We tried both fried and rice wrap spring rolls , prawn green curry and crispy fried red Roman. All so delicious. They only serve Thai beer so bring your own wine. The menu is extensive - we will be back!

I have visited this place numerous times over the last year. Please be aware that it is in the middle of Derek Avenue which is not the best of areas for such a restaurant. Inside the decor is extremely plain, small and simple however the food mostly makes up for these flaws. There is a great variety of vegetarian items on the menu and the owner is always willing to assist in preparing a dish as vegetarian even if it is not a vegetarian dish. This is a great option as their food is very tasty. 

I have tried most of the curries (obviously with no fish sauce or shrimp paste) on the menu and one or two stir fry meals. Vegetarian items come with veg protein or soy which is a nice touch - if available. Their spring rolls are out of this world! The quality of the food here is one of the best that I have had in Joburg as it is the same as what you would have in Thailand. 

I am obsessed with the deliciously soft and tasty baby eggplant and pea eggplant in a curry - there are not many places around that have such items on their menu. 

Please note that if you order a meal as hot it will come as "Thai hot" and you may pop your head off if you cannot handle the heat.

Unfortunately, the ambiance is not great, the food here takes extremely long to prepare (as everything is prepared fresh and the kitchen does not have enough help which is a problem), you may also not be able to order certain items on the menu as they just forgot to get more produce and in addition the food can be inconsistent if there are certain ingredients that are unavailable due to being seasonal or because they didn't manage to purchase it. 

This place needs a lot of work from a service, speed and consistency perspective which is why the rating is not higher.

If you are ever in the area pop in and try our their food as it should not disappoint.

Go for the regional specialties from the Isaan region - we had a Tom Zab soup, which I had never heard of before, and was fantastic. And there are something like 8 different green papaya salads to choose from, too. A treasure.
