  Charlie's Sala Thai is something of an institution in Tuggeranong, it has been winning awards since 2004. The restaurant is across the road from the Hyperdome and so parking is easy. Inside it looks like most Thai restaurants - unpretentious layout with an array of Thai and Buddhist pictures (and the Thai Royal Family, of course!).
  
  I took my family there for dinner to escape Christmas leftovers. There were 9 of us so we ordered the $30 banquet. While the food was more than plentiful, we added a serve of soft shell crab (mainly because my mother had never tried it). Every dish was a pleasure to eat; light, fresh and flavourful.
  
  The food is consistently excellent, based on the freshest ingredients and a clean cooking style, I was delighted that the sauces had not been thickened and so avoided that claginess you sometimes get with anglicised Asian food. Excellent as the food is, it is the service that really sets Charlie's apart, our waitress was a dream - quick, efficient and charming. At the end of the meal Charlie came out of the kitchen to meet us, a charming end to a delightful meal.
  
  Overall an excellent and affordable meal.
