Best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand; Sakare & her team were delightful hosts and the view is great too. Sakare was super mindful of my vegetarian diet too, checking in about fish sauce/eggs etc. specifically.
Lovely night out dinner! We're like all of the food that we ordered. Best Khoa soi noodle I've had so far. Definitely coming back again.
Lovely spot on the Esplanade and been here several times but on last night's visit it wasn't the same experience. Most of us enjoyed our food and the staff was friendly but the owner was very disrespectful to her staff. She clicked and snapped at them and was quite aggressive towards her staff which made guests uncomfortable when her team were doing a great job.
My family and I ate there in July 2025. We turned up without a reservation, and were immediately accommodated and still made to feel welcome. The service was outstanding and the food was the best Thai we have ever had (and weโve been to Thailand)! The ingredients were fresh and the food was absolutely amazing. As a foodie, I would highly recommend it and will definitely return next time Iโm in Cairns.
What a great meal. I canโt recommend enough. The manager came to the table and gave us his personal recommendations and had a great personality. Food and drinks 5 stars.
