Benja Siam Midtbyen - Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Trondheim

Heard great things and have now made up my mind about this restaurant. Visited three times.

First time: didn't open at advertised time, waited for 20 minutes. No luck. Second time: great food. Tasty, well cooked. Generous serving. 5 / 6 Third time: appetizer good, 4 / 6.

Pay full price....

You'll get what you ask for, but you feel as if you've put them through quite the inconvenience to even have come in the first place. If you get the right waiter, though, this is a very good place for...
