Went there with a group of friends last Saturday evening - our first visit in more than 3 years.Booking - understandably, they are very busy on weekends and thus have a funny system of bookings, either 6pm or 8pm. This suits us fine but will undoubtedly put some people off.Decor - high ceilings, looking out to the beach with trees in the distance, no faults there apart from the tightly packed tables.Service - attentive, efficient, no complaints at all.The menu is typical of most other Thai rest
Booking - understandably, they are very busy on weekends and thus have a funny system of bookings, either 6pm or 8pm. This suits us fine but will undoubtedly put some people off.

The menu is typical of most other Thai restaurants in Hong Kong, no surprises there. Most of the dishes served at your local Thai restaurants can be found here - prawn cake, fish cake, beef salad, pamelo salad, satays, tom yum, curries, etc.
I am a great fan of Thai food. To be frank, I have tasted much worse but I have also tasted better ones in Hong Kong. The seasonings and the way the dishes are prepared and presented are rather typical of the ones you find in Kowloon City but probably at 200% of their prices. No doubt money is not an issue to the expatriates living in DB but for that kind of prices I would expect a little more - a little more flexibility on bookings, a little more space between the tables, a little more difference in the presentation, a little bigger portion, and more importantly, a little more care in giving an authentic touch to one of the best cuisine in the world. This restaurant does a great disservice to the food culture in Thailand.
Would I go again? Yes, as the other restaurants in DB also have nothing much to write home on so this one is probably a tad better than the rest.
