Really delicious Thai food with a Belgian twist, in a cosy but fancy atmosphere.

The food quality is excellent; high quality super tender chicken, smokey roasted pork belly, generous use of fancy mushrooms, perfectly buttery tender and super tasty tataki tuna,...
The sauces and herbs are properly Thai; which bring the lightness of its exotic herbs and deliciousness of their curries and sauces to complement these high quality proteins.

All this deliciousness does come at a price; 15 to 20 euro for starters and 27 to 44 euro for mains, and portions aren't huge.

This said, 5 stars anyway, because of the quality and because of the cozy environment.

(personal reminder: the pork belly was my favourite: smokey meat in very delicious sauce)

Good food but overpriced. They kindly ask you to order a starter and a main dish, but that is actually an obligation, you have to order both. Not nice. Besides this, you can only order max 3 different dishes per table. If you go to a restaurant, you don’t want to stick to all those rules… bad crème brûlée, the pudding was too liquid.

I really found the best Thai restaurant in Belgium, I can’t describe how tasty the food was, it was amazing, delicious, and very generous portions. We had an incredible experience, definitely coming back again.

Asian fusion cuisine. Good flavours and presentation but small portions. Expensive for what you get. Very cozy atmosphere. Service is good but a little slow, they really need an extra server. Definitely a must go when visiting Gent.
