Saan

Real Thai Food. Tasty! I wasn’t really sure what I was in for. I saw good reviews and came in not knowing this was a Thai restaurant. But that soon caught up quickly. Flavours are refreshing, but anything with sauce is thick and strong. So be prepared for strong rich flavours which can be overwhelming if you order many strong flavour dishes. Friendly staff, great service, nice food. Service: 5/5 Food Quality: 4/5 Food Quantity: 4/5 Presentation: 4/5 Environment: 4/5 Price per person: $80 inc drink

I love the food here. Their appetizers are very creative and yummy. My fav is the spicy beef in curry leaves - a must try. The taro and roast pork are great too.

Nice experience!! Very enthusiastic waiter, and very patient recommendation of dishes. The food is very good and the price is not very expensive. Excellent service, comfortable environment and delicious dishes! I will certainly come again!

Fresh review. I am sitting at the restaurant right now while writing this review. Food worth that 1 star, so I gave it with 1 start. I would say that their customer service is treating people if it is conditional. We have been here for the first time, and the staff did not offer any introduction. But the funny thing is that the table next to us, they have been here before, but the male staff still gave some briefs about the menu. That is still ACCESSIBLE. However, we had a dish which was a whole fish on the plate. And the people next to us seemed very interested into this dish. And the male staff used his finger pointing the dish on our table to introduce the dish to other customers. And he was not even saying any sorry to us while we were having the food. He was talking towards our food as well, and we felt very unrespected!!!!! But he never said anything after this. Hope everyone could enjoy this kind of customer service with the average food quality.

This place was a good find. The food is asian fusion and we really enjoyed the dishes. The duck larb was yum and weirdly the eggplant and tofu was delicious. We also had the whole snapper with leaves. The food service was quick. The drinks on the other hand took really long for some reason. They tasted great when they arrived. Would definitely go back.

Came by for dinner with friends. The outside looks very unassuming and plain, and the menu doesn't look like other Thai places around, no curries or cashew nut stir fries. Although different, the items do sound very appetising without the ridiculous names that other places tend to have. We went with a variety of different items from the menu as well as the salmon special. For me the best item we had was the soft shell crab. The crab was nice and crispy and the sauce that came with it resembled a curry but was thick, flavourful and tasty. This paired really well with their sticky rice which was cooked just right to get the perfect consistency and texture. They do like to use chilies in most of their dishes so be careful if you are not used to spicy food as you might get a bad surprise. Really good service where we had a waitress that was with us for the night and kept our water topped. Really nice ambiance particularly since we were in the booths and we had the grill behind us. Nice food that is different to standard Thai places but similar flavours within the dishes.

Had my little one’s birthday there, it was really nice experience. Food was great! Service was outstanding. Staffs were super friendly and caring. Made the dinner really memorable. There were nothing to be an issue for their team. This was 2nd time there after the 1st time being a work lunch there. Which was also a good experience. Keep the hard work going guys, you are true stars.

Cute little Thai place in Ponsonby with tasty food and cocktails. Although the portions weren't as big as we thought it would be. We were 7 sharing 3 starters, one of the grilled market fish of the day very small portion and 4 mains with 3 rice and it wasn't quite enough for us. The main stars were the lamb curry and the papaya salad. Delicious!

We went here as a group of 4 and it was a pleasant experience. The food was great and the staff was very friendly. The interior and decor also give the restaurant a nice and unique feel. We also found out the restaurant has its own parking lot in the back. Quite convenient for those driving to Ponsonby. Overall we quite enjoyed our time here.

On our special occasions when we would like to have Thai food, we would normally come to this place. The food is deliciously authentic, staffs are very friendly.
