Hidden away on the charming outskirts of St. Andrews, Scotland, lies a family-run Thai restaurant that offers a culinary journey straight to the heart of Southeast Asia.
The menu displayed an array of tantalizing dishes, and we started our Thai escapade with the fried squid. Despite being slightly on the expensive side for a starter, the squid's perfect marination and sublime frying technique justified the cost. It was a scrumptious introduction to what was to come.
The main course was a gastronomical triumph. We savored the pork kaprow paired with fried egg rice, an aromatic ensemble that transported our taste buds straight to the bustling street markets of Thailand. The dish was a spicy delight, offering just the right level of heat for a stimulating kick without overpowering the intricate layers of flavor.
The innovative fusion of Thai flavors with a Japanese favorite was evident in their Tom Kha Ramen. It presented a creamy soup, brimming with the tangy tamarind undertones that masterfully balanced the dish's overall saltiness. Their Tom Yum Ramen followed suit but lacked the expected spicy note. Yet, it would be an absolute treat for those who enjoy the flavor profile of Tom Yum soup without its characteristic fiery punch.
What impressed us the most was the generous portions of seafood and noodles in both ramen dishes. Each spoonful was a hearty mix of texture and taste, making them a good value for money.
In conclusion, this hidden gem in St. Andrews is a standout in the realm of Thai cuisine. With its delightful food, charming atmosphere, and attentive service, it has become my go-to Thai destination. I eagerly anticipate making many more trips to this establishment to sample the rest of their...
Read moreI have visited several times, but this is the first time I've experienced racial discrimination from three Thai waitresses. We are Asian. When I placed my order, waitress A served me with a cold and indifferent attitude. When my friend asked for four bowls because we ordered noodle soup and it would be hard to use plates, waitress A immediately showed displeasure in serving us, putting the bowls down with a sour face and leaving right away. I then noticed several times that waitress A was smiling and cheerful while serving white customers.
One of the dishes had carrots that were clearly sour and spoiled. We asked waitress A to replace it, but she pretended not to understand and repeatedly asked what we wanted. I had to insist that she replace it. Then, waitress B handed me the food very close to my face, startling me and making me feel uncomfortable.
When paying, I handed the money to waitress C. I believe everyone, regardless of their position, deserves respect. Waitress C returned the change with some force, placing it on the table for me to pick up myself. I felt truly disrespected and experienced racial discrimination. I admire their teamwork, and if they could apply this unity to providing good service and respecting others, I would consider coming back. The food is really good, but sometimes the weather is very hot this week, and I understand the kitchen can be very busy. Mistakes can be forgiven, but I cannot tolerate racial...
Read moreThis a Thai restaurant most suitable for the uninitiated palate to Asian flavours. We came as a party of three people and left unsatisfied. Our order comprised of two starters that were very paltry in portion and three ramen noodle soup that resembled nothing of the rich flavour profiles typical in Thai cuisine. Nary a taste of garlic, lemongrass, or galangal, much less offerings of hot sauces. I would have been quite happy with a bottle of Sriracha at this point, but no heat to be had. The only thing they offered for adding spiciness was chili flakes that were not at all hot. I really wanted to like this place, but ‘disappointing’ would be an understatement and after anticipating the tastiness of Thai herbs and spices, my taste buds left hangry. We went home and ate leftovers. Spending £73 for a sub-par meal is not my idea of eating out. I’ll give this place...
