    Lovely meal. We had the satay & spring roll platter to start then the beef panang and salmon, finishing off with rubies pearls and ice cream. It was really quiet but it was mid week and off season. Service was great, staff were really friendly.

    Lovely service and fun location but the food was awful. Frozen veg in the green curry - that wasn’t a curry but just watery frozen veg covered in a thin watery paste. Lots of rice- but for £25 you should expect a decent meal. Huge garnish which was very unlike any other Thai meal I’ve ever had or seen but it did fill up the plate and hid the meal its self. Satay and spring roll platter were ok but again from frozen and the spring roll was full of a flavourless paste. Really lazy cooking.

    Dear Jackie We wish you had spoken to us so we could have remade the dish, offered you a new dish, or not charged you for the dish. Our green curry is different because it is genuine with no artificial flavourings or colourings maybe that is the diffrence you detected, We do not have frozen vegetables or pre-prepared vegetables. We buy the vegetables daily and prepare them daily. We cut, seasoned and cooked the vegetables for your green curry as we prepared the dish. The satay is made from locally sourced chicken breasts and the spring rolls are made from scratch every morning from fresh ingredients. The sauces, food and garnishes made from fresh ingredients took several hours to prepare.

    This was our first time at The Wee Choo-Choo. I cannot fault any part of the experience, the interior of the restaurant is perfectly laid out with a chic, orient express feel. The staff literally could not treat you any better, they were very welcoming, friendly, attentive & polite. Also very well dressed may I add. But the showstopper is definately the food ❤️ We had never tried thai food before & without a doubt I want to try more ❤️ our favourite was the rubies pearl dessert, if we had enough time I would have had another 😍 xx
