Food: Flavors that hit some, miss others

Despite the absence of dish-specific reviews, the general consensus at Wood Cafe Thai Cuisine holds that creativity is in abundance. With an authentic taste scattered with delightful surprises, it peels back the layers of Thai gastronomy. However, not all the dishes strike the same chord with diners, some feel underwhelmed by the taste and find variations in the freshness of ingredients. Portion sizes also seem to be a topic of discussion, with a few finding them on the smaller side. The value for money aspect, too, swings in neutrality, with a divide between diners who find it reasonable and those who perceive it otherwise.

  • Great Variety

    Offers a lot of delicious surprises with a diverse, extensive selection.

  • Okay Taste

    Mixed experiences, some dishes tasty, others underwhelming in flavor.
