We went to this place because it looked nice and lively from the outside. Upon entering it maintained that ambiance which is a pleasant experience. What lured me was the menu and I was looking for good bar food/bbq. This was authentically really reminding me of American Food, I ordered the sirloin steak. The service was really prompt, friendly and welcoming. Would come back again if I am in the Camden area.

They have recently changed their menu and there weren't as many choices as before, also it looks like a more generic Thai restaurant than the Thai fusion which we knew of. Still, the food was tasty and we are glad that the 'complicated noodles' were still there!
