  Amazing service, amazing food, amazing view. Really impressed with this place. Staff were so lovely and fit my partner and I into a fully booked restaurant as walk ins. Food was just spectacular, most authentic Thai I've had out of Thailand. The staff were working so hard to deliver a speedy service during school holidays and they nailed it. If you're in Cairns do yourself a favour and come see this place you won't be disappointed.

  Wonderful Thai restaurant on the Esplanade. It is on the first level so not as visible from the street, it is much less noisy. Service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered a selection of entrees and mains and thought they were all very tasty. I especially liked the pork belly pad see ew.

  10/10 Hidden Gem! Best Thai I’ve had in ages. Great food, reasonable prices, a view of the water, a light ocean breeze, and great table service. We love spice but took my elderly in-laws that avoid spice and everyone loved it. Located on the second floor away from hr huddle and bussel with a much better view. The stairs are tucked between two main street restaurants - You’d walk right past and never know what you are missing!
  
  Entrees (approx $17-22) serving 4
  Highly recommend pairing the two entres: “Mieng Kham” 10/10 which is a little spicy but delightfully soothed when followed with the “Prawns Nest”10/10
  (note: the entree “Pla Hoy Shell” looked amazing too but we didn’t try it this time.)
  
  Mains (Approx $22-$40)
  Craving seafood we ordered the below along with the two above mentioned entres. It was exactly the right amount of food

  Great service, we arrived late as kitchen was about to close yet accommodated us.
  I had duck confit with red curry which if called confit I felt should have been cooked longer until meat is about to fall apart. It tasted Great but please use less sugar!
  Everything else tasted wonderful.

  Amazing food, some of the best Thai dishes I have ever had! Great coconut rice, Pad Thai, Green curry, Tom kha Gai and Papaya salad. Definitely recommend! Good atmosphere and view of water.

  What wonderful food.. the best Thai we’ve had and well done to the 4 fellas serving as they were nearly all new. Having the host(the chef) come out for a chat was very welcoming

  Incredible Thai food. Unfortunately the restaurant was too hot for us to enjoy our food. Some air conditioning or fans would be a welcome addition.

  Even with skeleton staff with tonight's dinner the team in iyara still managed to give a amazing service and food! Definitely a place to try even if their short staff! You may have to wait 45 mins on a super busy night but it's worth it. Views on their balcony is also amazing!

  I got takeaway here and had a great experience! The lady on the phone was lovely. I got the betel leaf prawn entree and soft shell crab salad. Good price, food was delicious. Packaged very thoughtfully for takeaway (sauces, crunchy garnishes all packaged separately).

  Hidden gem that's easy to walk by on the ground level as it's only a staircase... But once upstairs, the atmosphere is lovely with attention to detail and comfort, the food is very tasty, but the best part is the staff. They are all energetic and engaging, lots of smiles, and very attentive to table needs. If we visit Cairns again, this will definitely be a repeat experience!
