    We have ordered fried rice and pad Thai which are very nice! We asked for the most spicy level and indeed it was extremely hot but yummy! The guy who served us was excellent ! Luckily we have made booking in advance and was given a very nice seating in a Friday busy night.

    The food is delicious l.The restaurant is very nice.The only thing is,the service is slow.I stood for a good few minutes,waiting to be seated.The place was quiet.One girl was doing cutlery as I stood.If I hadn't of booked a table with my friend I probably would have walked out.Also slow to take plates away and offer dessert menu or tea. Not sure I'll go back.

    Service was not good. We were ignored for quite a while after being seated. Food came out almost 10 minutes apart. We were never sure who our server was.

    Although the table “upstairs” wasn’t quite what we expected, we did enjoy our visit to this slick fast food eatery.

    Service was excellent. Food was terrible. There’s nothing authentically Thai in the flavours or textures. Massaman curry and yellow should be made with cream, not only cheap coconut milk and never has lentils. The crispy chicken tasted like it had been cooked 6 hours previously. Other than that the service was great, food was not Thai at all. Ideal if you like bland nondescript curries. 10% surcharge added automatically to the bill should be removed.
