    Top rated Thai

    I love Thai; and at home we have a great Thai restaurant. But I must say this is certainly worthy of its awards. Staff great. Food delicious. Presentation!!!! Outstanding. They certainly go the extra mile. It was packed too, so that says it all.

    Very pleasant lunch

    We both enjoyed the noodle and rice-based dishes that we had for lunch. It is one of the few lunch places in this neighborhood and I am happy to recommend it.

    Disappointing food and service and over priced.

    After 40 minutes of waiting for starters we asked if they were coming soon. Our waitress came over and asked for confirmation of what had been ordered, it was another 15 minutes before food finally arrived. No explanation was given at the time, but I...More

    Just average and disappointed

    We've eaten here several times before, but not recently. Disappointed to find that service and food had gone downhill a bit. We waited 40 minutes for our entrees while people who arrived later got their food. The wait staff were charming, but made a mistake...More

    Dessert

    Stopped in here just for a dessert as some of the group fancied a banana fritter however we were all quite dissapointed. I had the coconut icecream which was just ok.
