This is a great neighbourhood find. Nice ambience and good food. Service is friendly. The kitchen is unreasonably slow which let's the whole side down. It shouldn't take 30 minutes for starters to come or close to 20 for dessert. I'll come back for the food in the hope that this weakness will be rectified.

The distinctive flavours in every dish were memorable & in great combinations. The second batch of dishes (4/5 items) all came at once - which was a surprise - and would have been more appreciated spaced out. No taking away from the great tastes though!

They have recently changed their menu and there weren't as many choices as before, also it looks like a more generic Thai restaurant than the Thai fusion which we knew of. Still, the food was tasty and we are glad that the 'complicated noodles' were still there!
