"This is quite a popular restaurant so if you're going at peak meal times then I would recommend booking a table, especially if there are more than 2 people in your group. The staff are friendly and helped me to understand the menu - I seen from previous reviews that a lot of dishes can be made vegan, and they helped me to understand which dishes I could have. I have actually been here three times because the food is so delicious and it has so many options for me. I would recommend the Pad Si Eiw, it's very tasty! I also Tom Kha soup, which was a little sweet, however it was delicious! I ordered the Suki Yaki, which didn't have as much flavour as I would have liked, but it was still nice and everything tasted fresh. My husband had Pad Priew Wan and egg fried rice, which he enjoyed, as well as the spring rolls, which are quite tasty. Overall, this is a nice place to come if you're looking for delicious Thai food, more so if you're vegetarian or vegan as there are so many options. I will definitely be back when I'm next in Tenerife."

"Nice food, OK service and reasonable prices. We enjoyed the prawn rolls, Thai green curry with beef, and Massaman curry with prawns. We sat in the terrace area as it was full inside. The terrace is at the back, and smoking is not permitted."

"Delicious Thai food with authentic flavors! The green curry was creamy and fragrant, the Tom Yum soup was rich and tangy, and the stir-fried minced meat with basil was full of flavor. Fresh ingredients, vibrant presentation, and just the right level of spice. A great place for satisfying Thai cravings!"

"An amazing place — once I discovered it, I ended up having dinner there every single night! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in just often enough to take another order or bring the bill, which never takes long. The food is like the views in Tenerife — out of this world! I tried the Pad Thai, fried duck dumplings, Tom Kha soup, crispy chicken, and two desserts (including mango sticky rice). I can honestly recommend everything! The Tom Kha was the best I’ve ever had in my life — everything tasted delicious and was beautifully presented. The restaurant itself was cozy, and even the bathrooms were spotless and smelled nice. Highly recommended! I truly hope to come back to Tenerife someday — and to this wonderful place!"

"Tucked away in a back street in Puerto de la Cruz this place was a great find! The service was fab, friendly and efficient. The food was amazing, served hot and with great portion sizes (we had to bring some home with us because we couldn't eat it all!). Reasonably priced. Nicely decorated in a Thai theme. We will be going back for another visit!"
