Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2009 Score: 13/20 "Translucent, soft and glistening, tossed with fresh Vietnamese mint and peppermint leaves, sliced spanish onion, lemon juice and a little fish sauce, tripe is a dish for offal lovers to swoon over"

Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide 2008 Score: 13/20 "Authentic Lao eateries are rare, but excellent food and service make this place particularly popular. Past the collection of Buddhas by the huge glass sliding door, red plastic chairs, a black banquette, white tables and woven wall hangings give the room an edgy look"

Sydney Morning Herald Helen Greenwood, 17-2-2007 "Food Thai and Lao cooks are in the kitchen and local expats are flooding in to eat. All the ingredients of authenticity. Service Standard suburban - make an effort and ask questions and you will be rewarded with smiles and answers. Atmosphere Bright, smart and busy, though not crowded. Value Wonderful. Most dishes are $8-$12 so you can have an eating adventure."

SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 2005 "Our Vietnamese broadcaster colleague (and Fairfield councillor) Thang Ngo is an inveterate restaurant-goer due to his busy lifestyle and the fantastic range of delicious food around the Fairfield council area. He's keen on the new Thai/Lao combination that seems to be the latest trend in this part of town and enjoys the 'honest, well-priced food' "
