Happy Thai — Restaurant in Ghent

We stopped in on our first night at Gantt and really loved the food, but what we really liked was the hospitality of the owner. We decided to come back again the next night for another meal. But even though we arrived early for a table that we had reserved, we waited almost an hour for our food. While sitting outside, we saw a hoard of food, delivery bikes, coming and going like bees from a hive. Although we could be wrong, we feel that priority was given to those orders. I don’t feel that this was fair, and I feel that it ruined the experience of the delicious food.
