"They have the best tomyum ever Rich, thick and so flavourful!! Their Pad Kra Paw is also delicious and has never disappointed. The service from the staff is great, always friendly and attentive. I’ve visited many times already, and I always stick to these two dishes because they are just too good. If you love tomyum, this place is definitely a must-try! Highly recommended!"

"Had iftar here the other day and our orders got mixed up (maybe bcs we ordered a lot?) and they didn't give us two of our tomyam sets, so we had to keep asking the waiters and the food only came when we were 70% done with our other food. All the food was amazing so I overlooked the slight issue since the place seemed rather hectic as well. Price was okay as well and I'd definitely eat here again"

"If you’re a fan of creamy tomyam, you have to check out this place! I’ve tried tomyam all over Kuala Lumpur, but this one easily ranks among the best. The flavor is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced — trust me, your taste buds will thank you!"

"One of the best spot for authentic northern thai dishes. The menu maybe limited, but the taste was so good. You need to book as early as a day ahead (via whatsapp) since no walk-in due to limited table, but it worth the wait. The price, affordable and can be considered as cheap compared to its taste. Oh man, the steamed siakap really thoughtful after a few days. Very recommended place. You may choose to pay with cash or QR pay."

"After seeing so many reviews on Social Media,we decided to give it a try. Place was simple, they dont take walk ins,you need to book the time slot and date via Whatsapp. Parking a bit of a challenge as this is situated in a residential area. You also need to order during booking. I believe this actually helps them in maintaining the food quality and freshness of their raw material. We ordered Steamed Sea Bass in Lime, Tom Yam Chicken and Kale in Salted Fish sauce,this comes as a set. We also ordered Chicken Green Curry and Egg Bistik. The price and the food quality and quantity doesnt do justice for this place. I would definitely be frequenting this place at least once a month. Tom Yam and Green Curry a bit sweet but the taste is just awesome. The Sea Bass?Heavenly balanced between lime and chilli. A definite must try!"

"Had a pleasant time having dinner here. Best to book reservation beforehand. We had Siakap Stim Limau, Red Tomyum, Kailan Ikan Masin in Set 3 with Scrambled Egg and Green Tea for 2 pax for only RM68???? Food overall was scrumptiously yummy as it will be served fresh and hot from the stove. Didnt manage to try the Pulut Mangga desert but fosho will visit again next time. Restaurant are quite small but family friendly with some cutesy interior for photograph lover. Restaurant do served Thai vibes with great staff attitude, very attentive and friendly they even wore a smart casual standard outfit. Best thing about this makan place besides the great taste and service aspect, it is super nearby to mosque and free street parking."
