Thai
Pasig, Metro Manila
The spiced bbq short ribs surprised me on how flavorful and tender it was. Pad thai was our weakest order. Not our first time here btw. As always loved the pomelo salad. Service is good. BDO has an ongoing promo in Podium restos and this was included.
We used to frequent this place before the pandemic because of its authentic Thai dishes. We recently dined last April 2025 using Eatigo for a discount but the food quality was kinda reduced. The porkchop breading was hard and the meat was chewy. The pad thai’s flavor kinda diminished from before and the noodles got sticky. Shrimp cake was still good and the pomelo salad was so so. Overall, its still a decent Thai restaurant.
- one of my fam's go to place for thai food - went here when they had 50% off promo but would gladly pay full price next time we come back
The pomelo salad was so good. It was refreshing, I really liked it. The bagoong rice looked kind of dull at first, but I ended up liking it too. The pad thai and satay were kind of disappointing though, especially the peanut sauce. The crispy pork with veggies was good too. I kinda like it with the bagoong rice. Hmmmm not really a bad experience, but I’ve definitely been to better Thai restaurants.
It’s not the best Thai restaurant but it gets the job done. The short rib was soft and tasty. Pad thai had generous portions but lacks a wow factor. Their grilled chicken tastes like any other grilled chicken.
