Reviews
The food was very tasty and well prepared - and the sizzling dishes went down well with the family. The décor was lovely and the restaurant well laid out. I would note that if you're eating at peak times you will be treated like a cover. A 30 minute delay for some of our party (completely our fault) had the emcee barking at us, the dishes cleared in record time and us shuffled out past the incoming table. I appreciate they're running a business, but being told your time to finish at the START of the meal made it a little awkward and not particularly relaxing for anyone. That being said I'd definitely eat there again at a quieter time.
Visited here for a lunch reservation and was welcomed warmly by the host. It wasn’t busy so we didn’t have any waiting time. Served drinks quickly from a decent drinks list and ordered prawn crackers for table nibbles which were delicious with a sweet chilli dip. Our order was for a Green Thai Curry with Sticky Rice and a Weeping Tiger steak sizzle dish with a Phad Broccoli side dish. Finished with a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a bowl of pistachio ice cream and raspberry sorbet. The food was absolutely delicious and again was delivered quickly for the whole table of 6. The host was attentive and quickly removed empty serving dishes that gave us maximum table room without feeling that hovered over feeling you can sometimes get. Very happy with the experience as a whole.
5 stars doesn’t do this venue justice. Hands down THE BEST Thai food I’ve eaten outside of BKK and I lived there 3 years. I’d travel hours for this food, hospitality and damn comfy chairs if I say so myself! Wrote this review whilst still dining as I couldn’t help myself and couldn’t wait to eat the food hence the half eaten pictures! Don’t walk here….RUN!
Excellent food, best in the area by a long shot. The service is very good, attentive without being overbearing, staff are very kind to my elderly father. The atmosphere can get a little loud but it's worth it.
We had this restaurant recommended by a local shop owner and was so glad we managed to book a table that evening. Food was great and the staff attentive without hovering
