Amazing every time!! The twice cooked roast pork on green papaya salad is my favourite, also the red duck curry is an absolute winner. 100% satisfaction.

Food was fabulous - all dishes. Service was slightly mixed in that not enough attention when first getting there, i.e. needed wine glasses and had to wait a while. Also, with small glasses for the water, more trips are needed to the table by staff to keep them topped up. We left pretty late and at the last minute, asked if we could have coffees - we got them and if the staff were fed up that we'd asked, it was certainly not evident. Got our coffees and they were great. We will most certainly be back!

The soft-shell crab is to die for ! ! Delicious. Really like Galangal's food. Service comes up a bit short so could be improved very easily with more focus on the customer. Staff never seem to notice you when you try to get their attention.

Food was awesome, the restaurant was filled to the brim. Staff were obviously kept on their toes hence slower service. However they were apologetic and I would definitely return again soon.

The restaurant is very nice but I was not overly impressed with the service or the food. When we sat at our table, the waitress asked if we would like water and we asked for sparkling water - it never arrived. We ordered the stir fry chicken as one of our dishes - it was presented well, but the chicken was very dry and lacked taste. We also ordered the massamam curry - nice taste but only enough to feed a 3 year old! Same with the jasmine rice - very small portion. Pretty disappointing overall.

Return visit, excellent food, relished the galloping horses & Pla Goong entrees, the 2 curries we had were superb with taste galore, service attentive & personable. Only flaw our friends had underripe fruit in their dessert. Real good value at average $50 per person

We really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Service was slower than I experienced on previous visits, but it was busy. We will be going to Galangal again.

Great food, top service by very attentive and smiling staff. Perhaps the only negative was the price of the wine, an example the house wine is priced at $38, a bit excessive. The restaurant deserves my top score for the first two points mentioned above.

Food & service was excellent, as was the ambience. Would definitely rate Galangal as the best Thai restaurant in Perth. The only negative was a 1.65% surcharge if paying by credit card.

Service was great, food was average, green curry was amazing, prices were average. Food was fast too. Main things to improve are the flavour and authenticity of the food as it was better when it was in Vic Park.

First time dining there. Had heard good things. Overall very happy with the experience. Service, ambiance, menu choice all great. Food extremely tasty, very authentic flavours with a nice bite to most dishes. Probably only criticism, would be size of some dishes. Can only go on what I tried, but for example the pork belly dish was tiny, and difficult to share between three. Especially for the price. But overall , enjoyed the night, and would recommend.

A large restaurant with very nice decor, including carpet and tablecloths (good noise absorbers). Generous serves of top quality food, that is more imaginative than your usual Thai offerings. However the service was wanting from several different wait staff. We were seated quickly and given water immediately but had to wait a while to order, possibly because we were 30 mins late and it was now very busy. So we ordered our pre dinner drinks, wine, entrees and mains all at once. The entrees arrived first, THEN the pre dinner drinks (couldn't cancel them as we saw them being made as the entree turned up), immediately followed by the white wine. It was disappointing that I had to ask for a wine cooler that others had, as the wine would obviously not be drunk for a little while yet. We asked for the mains to be held back a bit and they were. We ate our delicious meal and the busy period subsided. Our empty plates sat on our table a tad too long. What was especially disappointing was that people behind us were served food, then the waiters walked straight past our obviously finished plates. 2 different persons asked us if we were interested in desert. Our water glasses were topped up eventually and then another 2 times. Yet despite that, the empty cocktail glass, that was finished a hour previously, was still on the table when we left. The manager/ bar attendant apologized spontaneously for the delay in pre dinner drinks as she was working alone. It was a Wednesday night and the place was full, so I recommend you book.

I have been to Galangal twice now and the food is excellent. In fact my friends and I cannot speak highly enough of the food. But on both occasions the service was not good. The waitstaff are either not organised or there are not enough of them. They took ages to take our initial order and then on both occasions we had to get someone's attention to clear the entree dishes and prompt them for our mains to arrive. Following finishing the main course, again we had to search out a waitperson to clear the dishes and request to look at menus for desert. We will probably go back as the food is so good but the service is very disappointing and needs improving.

The welcome, food and ambiance were excellent, but the whole evening wash ruined by the only non Asian waiter called Nel!!! This guy needs to go for some serious lessons on how to talk to and treat customers!!!! Believe me we were not the only ones disappointed by this guy on the evening!!! Ask for any other waiter for service if you want to enjoy your evening.

Lovely classy Thai restaurant. Fully licensed but BYO wine allowed. Food was clean and fresh, service was very friendly. The fish dish wasn't to our liking but that was our mistake as we didn't realise the fish fillets were deep fried.

The food was great, authentic taste. The venue and ambience was lovely. The service was not bad, though the only waiter worked on that day could have used another hand. Just wish they opened for lunch for more days other than just on Friday only.

The food was flavoursome but the service was very poor. The waitstaff were not very attentive at all. We had to try so hard to get their attention each time we wanted anything. Even then they looked as if they were not very happy to have been called. The galloping horses and the soft shell crabs of the appetisers were very good. We had red duck, stir fry Thai basil chicken, Tom yum mushroom, fried rice with prawn and steam rice for mains. We got everything else except the fried rice together and we waited and waited and even after we had finished all our curry and steam rice the fried rice was still not there. Finally after also g 3 times from waitstaff it finally came and by that time we were too full after eating the rest so didn't really enjoy it. It was tasty but had only about 6 prawns in the whole dish. They could have included more. The ambience was vibrant and warm. Such a shame that such good had to be served with so much lack of enthusiasm by the staff that it had to spoil the whole experience for us.

Food was OUTSTANDING. Some of the best Thai I have eaten. Service was a little slow at times. Had to ask about our mains and also follow up on a drink order. Didn't detract from the visit though but enough to not get the full 6 stars.

Great food and service. Fresh ingredients and a fancy swing on your normal Thai but still with the yummy flavors we are used too. Make sure you book though. Restaurant was full on a Wednesday evening.
