"5 stars +
Food is authentic and packed with flavours. It can take some time (about 20min) but the food is worth the wait! No doubt. The flavours come in waves and each bite is divine.
Great service and thoughtfulness from the staff and maitre d'.
Spent 3 nights in Plett over Easter weekend, tried Thai Ying on Friday night and couldn't wait to return on Sunday night (unfortunately it was closed)! Still thinking about their food. Definitely worth a visit or 2 :)"
