Disappointed with the experience. Tom yam barely had chicken or veg, cendol had no taste, and the noodles looked unappetising. Plus, the waiter was lazy and not attentive esp the young lady waitress. Not worth the money

I feel being scam by this Thai food restaurants, ordered few dishes taste r ok however horrible tomyum soup with few 5-6 small pieces of chicken meat n one 3/4 tomato, no mushroom, no vegetable. Totally out of my expectation, for me is just only soup without any ingredients. Dessert r presentable only. Don't recommend dining in this restaurant. They r only few table,serving food too long.

The food is on the normal range. You can find other Thai food better than this. They can improve on the food taste. The place is cozy, ample in seating. Like the interior and was quite interesting. We felt that we are not very much welcomed there (not in very bad way). There is nothing that really elevated our experience there. To a point we forgot what was good and worth remembering there. You can go if you do not want to spend money and time looking for Thai food outside, since you are already in Aeon Jusco.

Food here are all delicious 😋. It’s pretty similar to the ones in Thailand. If you have any dietary restrictions, please inform the staff and they will cater to your needs. Staff (especially Puan Sha, Staff Atul and the rest of the staff) were all very customer-oriented, approachable and knowledgeable. We will definitely return again. ☺️

i like this place. The service is Fast . Waiter is friendly and always there to assist us . I enjoy the food. like tom yum seafood and Basil chicken . The tom yum clear is so refreshing. Sour & Spicy. Those who cant take spicy can ask for less spicy. They Cook your food only when you order it. will come again.

The tom yum was delicious, and I enjoyed it. The mango salad (somtam) was very spicy with lots of chopped chilies, which may not suit everyone. The chicken was a bit dry, but since it was small, it was still manageable. Unfortunately, the mango salad plate had a fishy smell. The restaurant itself is nicely set up, and the service was good with attentive waitstaff. Waiting time is okay…

Good food. All food we ordered so delicious with reasonable price. Staff also super duper friendly. We feel welcomed during our visit. The interior design of the restaurant is nice. If you feel like to craving tomyam in the afternoon time, SANOOK KITCHEN is the perfect choice👍

The food is nice and the environment too, thank you for the services :D Personally I don't find the spicy food that spicy unless i eat the chilli themselves, but everyone cannot handle. So you know ;0 otherwise I recommend.

Will definitely recommend their kangkung and Tom yam soup! As for pineapple fried rice, it is my favourite dish, but I think I've tried better pineapple fried rice than this. They have a number of vegetarian dishes as well. Food portion was very generous, so is the price. Just the service to us was poor, we had to keep reminding the waiter for a drinking water and then we realize the waiter is not so familiar with both English and Malay. Edited: went there again in a group of 4. Food came really fast and no complains this time. Was a great experience, only suggestion is that I strongly feel it will be better if they can provide warm/hot water instead of bottled drinks.

Very slow. We were the 2nd table there. Waited more than 20 mins for our food. No sense of sense of urgency. So many staff but no use. 0/10. Used to be my favourite guess not anymore!!!!
