I ordered a vegetarian laksa soup for lunch. The place wasn't full as I came after the rush hour. I saw the waitress writing my order down, with the word "Veg.". As I was eating my meal, I discovered pieces of chicken. If you are vegetarian, vegan (as for my case) or allergic to chicken, this discovery is a bit upsetting, but hey, everyone makes mistakes. I called the waitress, politely noting that the dish they gave me was wrong. She exclaimed "Oh!", and brought the dish away from me. Not even an apology. Nobody came back, so I walked away. I could have been offered another meal for free, a dessert, a voucher...the possibilities were endless, but what I met in this unpleasant circumstance was just "Oh", with the waitress off to go somewhere else.

She then pretended she didn't understand what I was saying and made out like she would take it off the bill. We came to pay the bill and she charged us for the salad minus the beef - the dish was $15.90 and she charged us $10.90...is that weird or what? In my opinion it's way worth not charging for the full dish so you can continue to get repeat business, because we were so disappointed by the experience and how the owner handled it - we won't be...

The great Leo Tolstoy once said, “if you look for perfection, you’ll never be content” - he mustn’t have ever made his way here because this place is perfection. Not enough hours in the day to list out all the dishes you must try and on top of that, the hospitality of the staff is A+++ 10/10, a very friendly and really peachy type of service; redefining what the experience of Thai cuisine and dining should be. I used to go to Bondi for the beach, but now I’ll know to go for GU Thai Studio...
