We came here for lunch. I think it might be fairly newly opened, because there's also one in Brisbane. The atmosphere here was really nice and there was plenty of space in the restaurant with also a lot of variety of seating options. We sat at one of the booths. 

The food here was alright. The tom yum noodle was one of the most recommended things, and it also cost quite a bit more than everything else, and I thought it would be bigger and more interesting. There wasn't exactly anything wrong with it, but for $39 I thought we'd be getting a bigger serving. Tom yum isn't my favourite flavour in the world - I've always felt it slightly too sour - but this was fine, and included prawns, calamari rings, some kind of pork I'm guessing?? some pickled cabbage and one scallop. 

The other thing we got recommended was the soft shell crab. This was pretty good, and it came with a nice sauce. Deep fried things aren't ever really my favourite though. 

The Thai milk tea was really good. My only complaint was with the paper straws, which collapsed on one end as I was trying to stir the ice and I had to switch ends to finish my drink. 

The food here was pretty good. I woud come here again. Nothing to write home about though. Card surcharge and cash discount.
