Reviews
I have been to this restaurant twice now. Each and every time, the employees welcomed me with a smile. Nothing asked of them is too much trouble. The first meal I chose was the Panang Curry, and was surprised at how generous they were with the proportions of meat. The second meal I chose was Garlic black bean wok stir fry. Again, great portions of meat. Overall I think the food was packed with flavour. The building is beautiful from the outside, with radiating purple lights. Very eye catching. The inside is just as beautiful. My experience with the staff was amazing. They were attentive, helpful and friendly. I would call this a hidden gem, and well worth a visit.
It's a little tucked away and seemed a bit quiet when we went it, but the service was attentive, friendly and fast and the food was delicious - the sweetcorn fritters were some of the best I've ever had! I also tried a dessert of sweet, sticky rice with mango. It was a slightly alarming colour and was definitely unusual to a Western palate, but it was delicious. All the food is really fresh and flavourful.
I went alone and ordered Thai fish cakes, Tom Kha soup and plain rice anticipating their portions to be big and too much for a single person. Sure enough, when the Thai fish cakes arrived, I asked them to cancel the plain rice from the order, which they did without complaints. I took my time enjoying and finishing my food and did not get any 'hints' to vacate the table. The ambience was cosy and people were enjoying the food and each other's company. It's exactly as a dining experience should be- good food, good ambience and relaxed atmosphere. I heartily recommend it.
My local friends frequent this restaurant and warned me the service is a little slow. Sure enough, it took almost half an hour for the starter to arrive. Luckily, I wasn’t hungry. The duck curry was lovely, although the curry was a bit too sweet for me. Overall, it was a decent meal.
I went to here with my friends I ordered some chicken satay and phad thai goong which is phad thai prawns actually i found the food was way more delicious than other thai restaurants i been before. Definitely come back again
