this has to be one of the best restaurants in hawke's bay, if not the best. although any idea of "best" is subjective, i'm sure the thousands of customers that chaang and his wife have had through the doors in the years they've been open, would agree with me. the food is always excellent, with genuine chefs from thailand preparing your meals and marvellous service by beautifully uniformed staff. the maitre d is a colourful character, making your evening a most enjoyable experience for both small and large functions plus adding interest to the evening for those just going for a value for money "couples"nightout. i don't dish out complements or recommendations lightly, but you won't be disappointed if you were to visit here. well done chaang and the gang.
