I happened to be in town for a workshop and thought I'd give Byron's asian street-food sector a try out in the laneway behind the Beach Hotel. For their lunch specials AU$12.90 for a vegetarian (tofu) Pad Thai [the other option was chicken - no pork!] seemed reasonable - until I was shortchanged $2 by the affable Canadian on the... More

Hi there. Sorry you didn't enjoy our Pad Thai. Most of our customers love the fact it comes with lots of freshly cut vegetables & roasted peanuts. We agree it is a little different from your standard Thai restaurant version but it is consistenly our best selling dish so I just hope the chef on duty did it justice that... More

Bring your own booze with a 3 dollar cover this is casual (small tables and box style seats) dining which brings together very good food and good value (especially if from abroad and having to manage a strong Aus$). We ate here twice and if I lived in BB I'd be there every week.

Popped in quite by accident, whilst we had read about the place. It is little, no they don't take bookings and if you blink you'll miss it. But people eat and get out so you won't wait long, the food is not your old & maybe boring Thai culprits, flair and some really special ingredients make the offerings tantalising. LOVED... More

The lunch specials are value for money. I had the green curry chicken with rice for $10.90. Curry was rather mild for me, not your typical authentic Thai but a tasty dish all in. Cosy restaurant at the back of a lane way with friend staff.

Good filling meal at reasonable price. Nice and spicy. Ran out of space very quickly and people were waiting to get in. Seats a little uncomfortable.

Great to hear you have enjoyed our food and atmosphere. To clarify, we do not add 'MSG' to our food. We do however use Oyster Sauce as an ingredient in some of our wok sauces which contains a 'flavour enhancer'. We do ask if you have any specific food intolerences to advise us up front so that we can act... More
