Choo Chee Prawns
We had the Choo Chee Prawns and Pad See Ew – both were packed with incredible flavour and cooked to perfection.
Jimmy Stojanovski Satay Wagyu Skewers
Tried the satay waygu skewers they were so tender and the satay sauce wasn't artificial tasting just the right flavour that didn't ruin the taste of the beef.
jacqueline yalda Massaman Lamb Curry
My favourite would be hands down the masamam lamb curry and pad Thai chicken.. it goes down so good after a long day.
magic Mike Soft Shell Crab
The soft shell crab was delicious and the noodles were super authentic with that signature Thai spicy kick.

Before you head over
Helpful dining advice on access, reservations, and parking
Prepare for Stair-Only Access
The restaurant is situated on the second floor and reached solely via a flight of stairs without elevator access, so plan ahead if anyone in your group has mobility restrictions.
Book Tables in Advance
Peak evening and weekend dinner services fill up quickly, making advance reservations essential to guarantee a table.
Arrive Early for Rear Parking
Arrive early to snag rear parking behind the venue; if those spots are full, look for street parking along Belgrave Esplanade.
