We were welcomed nicely and food came quickly, but the fried veg (Thai tempura) came and it looked incredibly oily - possibly fried too cold, which absorbs lots of oil. Since it Was so unappealing I asked the waiter for a Tom yum soup instead, and she kindly swapped without having to pay for the tempura. The other dishes were tasty but not mind blowing - as usual pad Thai was just Far too sweet, although the flavour and texture was enjoyable. Nice enough, but a bit mixed for me.

Our second visit and won't be our last. Lovely family-run restaurant with friendly staff and excellent service. The food was great with lots of options on the menu - difficult to pick! Will be back to try more!

Absolutely incredible! I've been for maybe 10 Thai meals in my life and this was by far the best.... the service was wonderful, the waitresses were really lovely, lovely decor, pristine facilities and the food was 10/10.

The duck spring rolls and satay chicken were delicious, prawns really well cooked and the chicken panang curries were just divine. I was stuffed but got the leftovers to take out because I couldn't bare the thought of leaving any. Also, well-priced. Overall, we will definitely be returning!

I can tell you that this is the best Thai food in the UK that I ate! It’s very tasty and all the food proper Thai style, taste exactly like in Thailand! All of the staff are very friendly. I would recommend to go there to try it yourself! I would love to back there again for sure!

Previously reviewed this as 4 stars but after most recent visit trying to decide on a 3 or 2 start rating for this visit.

We have eaten here a number of times over the years but this is the first time since going into first lockdown and the first time we have ordered meat dishes.

The restaurant was clean and felt peaceful although we were one of two couples and eventually the only one from about 20h30. Our waitress was very friendly.

Ordered the chicken satay which was sent back as the chicken was very over cooked... literally like shoe leather.

We then ordered the Pad Thai and Pad Khee Mol, both with beef. Initial impression was very positive as you can see in the photos as the dishes were colourful and well presented.

The noodles and vegetables were both cooked perfectly and were very tasty. However, the beef was also very overcooked and very tough...it was basically just grey leather once you were able to cut it open.

In summary, this is the first bad meal we have had here and the common denominator was the meat (chicken and beef). My wife and I both had the feeling that the meats were precooked and then microwaved to death for a second time. This is of course unsubstantiated (the microwaving part not the cooked to a second death part!).

When we go back, we will stick to the vegetable options as those have always been very good.The portions were a good size so, if the entire dish is edible, would offer reasonable VFM.

We decided not to stay for dessert and the chicken satay was taken off the bill. Our dog ate the beef when we got home.

Food was excellent and good value. Our waitress was not very friendly and a bit sullen.
