The food portion sizes are tiny £16 for a few slithers of beef £17 for a tiny sea bass had to go to the counter to get drinks half the time all in all this place is bad value for money I won't be going back shame the reviews are good the food not so good not your usual vibrant Thai restaurant.

We have been there a few times in the last year. The food is great, good prices, great atmosphere... It's a small place which makes it even better.

Food wasn’t outstanding but not bad either. However, the customer service was fantastic, I felt as though I were at home with the cosy atmosphere. And don’t listen to the review below me, she’s crazy.

I went here for my birthday and it lacked atmosphere. The only other people who were there happened to be a couple who came in for a takeaway.I had to catch the waitress attention to tell her we were ready to order. Once we did, the food arrived in a timely manner.I didn't enjoy the starter. The chicken satay was rubbery and stiff. The prawn tempura wasn't nice and light. The chicken dumplings fared a bit better. I didn't take pics of the food. I shot videos so had to screenshot the ones included.We were left to our own device and had to chase for everything we needed by going to the counter to get someone's attention. Everyone, including the waitress was in the back the entire time, we couldn't see them. Maybe this is due to Covid-19.The ceiling was the best part of the decor. It had beautiful umbrellas on it. I also liked the blue and white plates the food was presented in. The carpet needs a good, deep clean or replacing completely. The toilet needs refurbishing. Again, extremely ancient, like going back in time.This restaurant had such good reviews, I was really looking forward to it but I was disappointed. I had the fish which was bland, no seasoning whatsoever which ruined it for me. The duck was good, however, the beef which came hot and sizzling was the star of the show. I would go back to get a takeaway of that beef dish.I told the waitress it was my birthday and she did say she'll get back to me later. After we ate, she brought a slice of chocolate cake with ice cream and a candle and sang happy birthday to me. It was a lovely gesture which I appreciated.We went to the counter, called to get someone's attention in order to pay the bill and left.

Really NOT authentic Thai food. Cooking was poor and fried dishes are just mixing the food together but not fried! That was how bad it was. Every dish was super tiny like for a two year old but charged £14 to £15! No authentic Thai drink. Complete rip off and a laugh! Four of us agreed that I should give them 3 stars in the service but 1 star in the cooking.

By far and away the WORST takeaway I've ever had. And I don't just mean the worst Thai or Asian, I mean the worst takeaway I have ever had the misfortune to have delivered to my home, and I've partaken in many a late night poor take out decision in my time. To start an estimated delivery time of 45 minutes became an hour and a half. But to part with just shy of £50 for four dishes (two mains & two starters), and to find fault in each one, throwing 2 away in fact, is a shocker. dry" ribs were 4 square rib ends (yes the fatty bit full of gristle) that we're so soggy and cold they could have just been fished out of an emptying sink. I in fact on first inspection assumed that we'd been sent the wrong dish as they looked so far from ribs they were near unidentifiable. Deep fried squid that was flavourless rubber in unseasoned breadcrumbs. Only 3 prawns in total in a pad Thai that would have been far exceeded in taste by a reheated microwave meal attempt at the dish by Findus in the 80s. A Thai green chicken (allegedly

Came here with my cousins and it’s such a cute little restaurant. I think it’s a family owned Thai restaurant.I love the interior design of the umbrellas and the food portion is decent and enough for one. Parking is convenient enough but only if you’re lucky and there’s a spot on the main road close-by.

The best meal I've enjoyed in a while.Ignore the negative reviews, I personally think its sad people with nothing better to do. Do not let them stop you from coming down for a meal.They annoy me because the staff were so sweet and cute, you need patience sometimes since they don't seem to speak English perfectly, but still very well!Service was fast (we ate in) and their optimism shines. The restaurant has a lovely vibe and some of my favorite songs! Food was lovely too.Thank you for the amazing experience, my family and I will come again, I wish I could rate it more! :)

Attentive staff, conversational and not unfriendly. Toilets were shabby but still contributed to a cosy, warm feeling overall. Quite expensive!! Food was good :)
