Mietta's Review
A smartly decorated restaurant with Thai and Loation food served by culturally aware young Vietnamese waiters - it's a suitably Sydney experience. Good interesting food try the larb, a mixture of minced beef and offal flavoured with mint or you could go the Loation raw prawn $10, or the tiger's tear, rare beef with a lemon and fish sauce dressing.

Other published opinions

SBS Eating Guide to Sydney 2005 "With its bright, solid dark-wood table settings, topped with woven mats i browns and royal blue, modern tiled floors and a giant fish tank, this is one of the new-look Canley Vale eateries. It has a Lao accent and helpful, young, Aussie-accented staff."

Sydney Eats 2005 "You can dine simply or settle in for the long haul at this very multicultural restaurant. The husband-and-wife owners are Lao/Thai and Chinese respectively, while the waiters are Vietnamese. The food is generally more Thai than Lao, but you'll find lots to pique both your interest and your appetite."

SMH, good living, 25/11/03, Joanna Savill,'The food is light and delicous, minus the sweet, coconut-drenched sauces of neighbourhood Thai.'
