  I would like to share my experience in this restaurant.
  Despite the food, which is really good, the service is totally unwelcoming, from the second you enter the main door, all the people who work there look at you as you are bothering them, like: why did you come in? we are not here to serve you food, and with bad attitude talking about you in thai , and they give you a table like they are doing a big favor. It was quite unfriendly service and I would highly recommend change the staff , especially the lady in counter.

  A kind of average Thai restaurant. The service was not good, staff didn't even respond when we tried to call them. Food took way too long. The food itself was OK, not great, not bad. Nice views of trees and the ground below.

  Food
  My wife and I dined on a busy Thurs night in Jan. We ordered two drinks, a Tiger ale (8 pesos) and a bottle of Varichon & Clerc sparkling white wine (10). For the food, it was fish cakes for a starter (11), two main courses: massaman beef curry (22), and a vegetable ensemble with basil and tofu (21), and, to accompany, a bowl of coconut rice (5). The fish cakes were soft and tender, perfect with a dollop of sweet chilli sauce. It was a serve of four little pieces, but enough to whet our appetites for what was to follow. And that didn’t disappoint either. The massaman beef was sensational, with generous pieces of chunky melt-in-your-mouth tender beef, soft potato and drenched in a tangy coconut sauce. The vegetable ensemble was fresh and wholesome with a selection of colourful vegetables although it was also a case of “spot the tofu”. Despite the lack of tofu, we both enjoyed our meals. Presentation is neat and stylish on shining, smart crockery, embossed with the smart “Siam Sunset” logo.
  
  Service
  The all-Thai all- female wait staff (no diversity here!) are colourfully attired in what I assume are traditional outfits, with baggy pants and floral tops. And we found them all to be polite, friendly and efficient. Despite it being almost a full house, there was no compromise on the service. Our booked table was ready and waiting for us. Orders were promptly taken, and drinks, starter and main courses came out at a steady clip, in the correct order.
  
  Atmosphere
  On the website, it suggests that you make a booking to ensure that you get a table and these guys aren’t kidding. Luckily I took their advice and booked ahead and was glad that I did, because it was near full. The place is large and airy with huge windows flung wide open in the front giving that part of the restaurant an almost alfresco feel to it, although it’s not completely outdoors. From the back section, where we sat, there are attractive district views out of the windows. There are ceiling fans in the front and loads of greenery, giving the whole joint a bright and cheerful ambience. The floors are either stone in one part or wood in the back part where we sat, with no carpets so consequently it can get hellishly noisy. As you would expect from such a popular place, the atmosphere is lively, fun and energetic. But it’s also casual and informal. Perfect for a night out with friends or fam.
  
  Cost
  We paid a hefty 77 pesos for two drinks, a starter, two mains and rice. We can’t really blame the restaurant industry for this Weimar Republic-like crazy hyperinflation, but still, it’s quite unbelievable to think that a year or two ago, this would have been 50! Our little Aussie peso is being reduced to rubble thanks to massive govt spending and a Reserve Bank that cares more about its reputation than controlling the money supply.
  
  Toilets
  There is only one toilet, which isn’t enough for a large restaurant that’s perennially busy. You need to be prepared to queue. If you are lucky to get a chance to use it, you will find it clean and well provisioned with soap and hand towels, and an ageing 1980s style hand dryer.
  
  Parking
  S.S. is situated in the little Kersley Road Shopping Village on the corner of Kersley and Kenmore Roads. Other tenants there include a well stocked and handy B.W.S. liquor store and a convenience store. There’s a small car park at the front, with tiny, awkward spaces, which I struggled to manoeuvre my car into.
  
  Summary
  We had a pleasant evening at S.S., and everything ran smoothly. It’s not surprising that this is such a popular joint. It’s professionally run and managed, with excellent food, fast and efficient service and a cool ambience. My only issues are the high noise factors and the insufficient toilets.

  Great service. Due to my partner being a coeliac they have a great gluten free range and also dairy free. We order at least once a week.

  Love the Thai food especially the Golden Parcels. We usually do take-away's but the restaurant has a lovely ambiance for sit down meals. My only gripe is even asking for Thai hot the food isn't spicy enough especially the Tom Yum !
