This place delivered from starter to dessert. I had the Toong Tong parcels for a starter which were perfectly cooked and I loved the cheese/butter dip. The decoratively cut flower carrot was cute and because the dip was quite rich it helped to have something else to munch on between parcels. Then the jungle curry which was stuffed with fresh vegetables. The chicken was fresh and cooked very authentically. I loved the young peppercorns; I was a bit sceptical at first thinking they would overpower the flavour but they did anything but! Finally my gorgeously presented mango crepe with ice cream. Wonderful presentation, lots of little bits of fruit to break up the rich flavours and the ice cream itself was delicious.
I felt like a lot of passion was put in to every part of my meal including the wonderful staff with their big smiles. For sure this place will be a regular haunt...

The Tom Yum is the golden standard of Thai cooking and these guys do an amazing Tom Yum at a reasonable price.
I would highly rate this restaurant and recommend it both for dining in and...
