Perhaps we didn't try the house special - raw shrimps and "juice bursting" prawn balls - so maybe that's why I didn't find any of their dishes spectacular with that extra "wow" factor, but overall the dishes were well executed with a lot of flavours, the quantity was sufficient for 4 persons to share each dish, and although the waiters needed a bit of prompting, you could forgive them because the shop was really busy, and it's always warming to see the boss (you can't miss him, his big head shot
We had chicken curry with baguette, coconut salad (a bit too crunch and hard for me, very spicy which I like, though probably it's safer to stick with papaya or mango salad next time), appetiser platter (satay and pandan chicken were particularly nice, and the prawn cakes were also fluffy and golden brown), stir fried kale, pad thai, and 3 kinds of dessert - sticky rice pudding with mango, coconut and sago pudding, and sweetcorn and mango pudding (which didn't look particularly appetising, and the taste was just so so, I'll give it a miss). My friend commented that the little containers for the puddings were made with skill, no staples or sticky tape to hold it together. Every little counts.
Overall, it's a good place to eat in the area as it's famous and quality guaranteed, but be expected to queue for a table most nights than not. If you want a more authentic experience, try one of the smaller shops nearby where you can see the thai people gather and eat (can't miss them, especially the ones who dress like they're about to go for "work").
