Easily the best Thai to be found on Hong Kong island.
Having visited Thailand on numerous occasions, I have always been disappointed with the Thai food in Hong Kong. It is always bent towards the Hong Kong taste which I fully understand, but sometimes things need to be a bit more authentic, which this restaurant is when it comes to simple Thai dishes. However, this is a rare find as the food is delicious, plentiful and good value.
The green curry was not filled with aubergine - unusual for Hong Kong, and it was also a natural green rather than the usual bright vivid green usually found in restaurants here. Spicy, but nicely so. Prawns cooked well.
The tom yum gung was awesome and for once had the spice it should have. Really light and fresh and really hot which again is something that other restaurants don't seem to grasp. Lovely.
Thai fried rice with prawns - all the authentic tastes needed and was a good size.
The beer was fresh and cold and good value too. Wanted to go for the three litre table top keg but my wife wouldn't let me.....next time.
It's a scratty place but often that usually reflects on the food - the worse the decor the better the food, and this was certainly the case here.
Service was good and staff were friendly and happily described differences between rice dishes.
I would happily take a taxi just to go back here for lunch or dinner. There is of course the added bonus of the beach less than a minute away, but the food was great and it has been a relief to find Thai food that actually tastes as though it originated in Thailand without losing anything along the way.
