"Good value for money and the guy was really nice! Food prices are very economical here as compared to the other places. The taste was good but the food was already prepared. It makes sense considering the prices. But the place has a good sitting arrangement and it is right in the center of the town. I thought it is good for students or who want to quickly grab a bite and go with their daily business."

"I come to this small Thai restaurant frequently because the quality-price ratio is exceptional. Additionally, their opening hours are very convenient. The location is ideal, as it is situated near Barfüsserplatz, right in the heart of the city. This makes it very practical whether you decide to eat here or prefer to order takeout."

"Affordable place with good style and options. Peanut butter + duck + fried rice is loved by us <3 I think the main theme was built around Thai food as they also offer Thai beer. Asian black/green ice teas are among the soft drink options besides regular fizzy drinks. We enjoyed the atmosphere; the plates and the food looked and tasted homey. One minor thingy: the lady behind the counter seemed unattentive, yet since we've been a cheerful group, we didn't mind it ^^°"

"Simple quick and very good value for money. Food was okay. Ample seating with possibility of sitting in the bar next door too. They have student menus which are a bit cheaper at just under 10 francs. The two people working there were in a very good mood and were very friendly. Can recommend for a quick bite at lunch and it definitely beats the nearby burger or kebab joints."

"My Friends and I always come here when we forget our school lunches or just want to eat something good. They offer a student discount, which is great, and the prices are good too (even without the student discount!)"
