"What an absolute gem. Meticulously maintained with loads of Thai and religious decor. Very clean establishment with a rich history. The staff take pride in their tasks while serving you, this results in excellent service. The food is spot on that what is shown on menu and cooked perfectly to Thai quizzine standard. Should you regard yourself a a bit on a connoisseur make time and spend it here. Wonderful ambiance, excellent service, delectable food, we will definitely return."

"The food tasted really good, particularly if you can handle spice! My friend enjoyed her shrimp with noodles and my wife the amazing tom kha gai (very creamy), good potato salad and fried rice. My chicken tom yum was pretty good and beef red curry a very good flavour that left my mouth on absolute fire (I can handle spice well, but it also may not bother some people).
The atmosphere was amazing with the friendly staff, very detailed decor inside and leading up to both entrances of the building and the relaxing Chinese music was very peaceful making us want to sit and enjoy the restaurant for longer.
There were just a few things affecting my rating. I ordered a Singh beer off the menu and they only had Chang. I asked for something milk based to help with the spice and they recommended an apple shake which I assumed must be made with milk, but it was just a bit of juice in a lot of ice and didn’t help at all. The server brought out the wrong soup to start, but they replaced it quickly without an issue. My rice was much too small for the curry so a lot of that hot curry sauce went uneaten. It was also quite an expensive place to eat and we were really only paying that for the atmosphere, so if you don’t care about atmosphere, it’s probably not your place.
But the food was good, the atmosphere great and the staff friendly, so plenty of food there too!"

"Beautiful authentic interior, large restaurant. Food - some dishes more successful, some less so. Soup portions are S, M and L. S is a regular portion like everywhere else. The others are doubled."
