Good Thai cooking is about balance: sweet, sour, salty, spicy and fresh herbs in the same dish. A takeaway like this suits popular dishes such as pad thai or a curry, and it helps to say how hot you want it, since heat levels vary between kitchens. Tom yum should taste sharp and fragrant rather than thin, and stir-fries are best eaten soon after they are cooked. Regulars tend to order a rice or noodle dish plus a curry to share, and they ask about lunch specials.
For people working or living around Mount Wellington, it is a convenient place to pick up a Thai meal.
