One of our favourite restaurants. My wife and I have visited many times over the years and we have never experienced a bad meal, a bad course or even a bad mouthful!
The food is first rate, beautifully cooked and well presented. With so many good things on the menu it is perhaps unfair to highlight just one but the "Pork Ribs Heaven" are a must on every occasion; little riblets falling off the bone served with a divine sauce. Tiny criticism/suggestion: maybe finger bowls would be a good idea with spare ribs?
Like many catering establishments at the moment staffing levels are not as high as they were pre-COVID and as a result the service times are slightly (stress slightly) longer than before. But hey, you know what? Who cares! This is a classy restaurant serving classy food not a greasy fast food joint. Kick back, enjoy the ambience, have a beer secure in the knowledge that the food will be well worth the extra five minutes wait. Remember, you are getting quality Thai food cooked by Thai chefs not some mass produced burger in a bun.
If you've never tried Thai food, think Chinese with 'A' levels. Start your journey here with one of the set meals. That's what my wife and I did some years ago and we've never looked back.

Read moreI’ve lived in thorpe st andrew for 22 years and I’d never been to this place, went once but never again. Food was extremely expensive for what it was, I had sweet and sour chicken and it was very basic but very overpriced, should have just made it myself.
The most shocking thing was when I ordered dessert with my partner and they were both completely frozen so you couldn’t get your spoon in, after waiting 10 mins I still couldn’t so I called a waitress over and told her I can’t eat it, she said ‘it’s been in the freezer’ well duh!...you should have defrosted it properly before serving to people! I said I wanted them to remove it from the bill so they did but took some persuading, she told me to wait for it to defrost and offered to put it in the microwave...I wasn’t keen on the idea of half warm/half cold/melted icecream. Then I could see the waitresses looking over at me and talking about me, so so...
Read moreWe booked a table for a meal to celebrate my wife's birthday on 16th January. We have visited the restaurant before and have always thought the slightly high prices reflect the good quality of the food and service. This visit however was an altogether different and disappointing experience. The food was delivered to the table barely warm, although we did start to eat it but could not continue. We called over the waitress who seemed unsure of what to to and suggested the meal could have been standing for a while (but not on our table). After a short discussion it was agreed the meal would be replaced. The new meal was delivered at the correct temperature and we continued as planned and paid for the meal in full (£82.00 for the set menu). We would have expected a manager to at least come over and speak to us but this did not happen. Very...
