Walking along Wyndham everyday, I am guilty of assuming that no good restaurant could possibly operate here without falling victim of trying to cater to the drunk crowds spilling over LKF. However, here I am pleasantly surprised by how popular this restaurant is. Walking in at around 740pm on a Wednesday, I was not expecting anything in particular and then low and behold by the time we had finished our meal, you would have thought that the food was free, as no table was empty. But that being sai
Ambiance
Decently renovated for the very small space that it occupies. Tall bar style seating may not be to everyone's comfort but I was perfectly fine. It got very stuffy in the restaurant even with no closed doors, which is an enigma.
Food
We ordered the typical satay, a red duck curry, pork ribs, pad thai and a rice pudding. We are guilty of not being very inspired but sometimes you just want to order the classics and have them done well. This place certainly does not disappoint. The servings were generous (which is always a must in my opinion for most homely cuisines).
The presence of mangos in the duck curry was a refreshing surprise as I wouldn't have expected many restaurants to be so generous with such a commodity.
Service
Unforunately not the most attentive staff but given the price bracket, cannot expect the most. The restaurant was well equipped and food came quickly. The only issue I would say should be addressed is that water for the table should be served automaically there shouldn't be any need for the customer to ask multiple times. The fall out from not providing this is much worse than the few dollars that can be generated by hoping the customer orders from the menu instead. Make a customer comfortable and they are more inclined to order more.
Overall
Haven't had that much Thai in HK but for what was ordered, I would have to say that it was well done. I was surprised at the turn out, but I guess I shouldn't be. Being on Wyndham may be a recipe for over pricing and bad company but in the end, it did not turn out that way. Would be going back again that is for sure.
