I don’t often leave low reviews, however I feel that this place needs to hear it. About 11 of us came in for Mother’s Day lunch, we ordered a selection of starters, which strangely all came at different times. The portion sizes were quite small as well, for example we had fried tofu which was literally one tofu sliced into a four pieces and made to look even smaller because of the large plate. Then came the Thai dumplings, which were 4 tiny pre-frozen pieces for £5.50! We also had the Tom kha soup, which was too sweet and had zero spice to it. Overall then, not a good start. Then came the mains - we ordered a selection of curries, rice dishes and a couple of Pad Thais. Four of the curry dishes had to be returned because there was enough salt in them to cause all slug species to become extinct. The Pad Thais both came at different times and tasted completely different - one was bland, the other was far too salty. The one good thing worth mentioning and prevents this place from getting 1 star, is that the staff and manager were very nice and didn’t charge us for the dishes returned plus gave us an additional 20% discount on the rest of the bill. To sum up, it appears that there needs to be better communication between the waiters/waitresses and the kitchen to address the timings of dishes coming out.

Read moreUp until today this was my favourite restaurant and I am devastated that I won't be able to enjoy their Tom yum soup again. To cut a long story short my daughter suffered an allergic reaction to a dish which we discussed with the waitress and confirmed on the menu as not containing any of my daughter's allergies. The initial staff response, when I alerted them to the fact, was a little too laid back for my liking so I asked to speak to the manager. The chef appeared from the kitchen and from offset she was extremely defensive and then rude in later stages of the conversation. She was followed by the owner who did make a genuine attempt to try and understand what had caused the allergic reaction, however he was extremely focused by the idea that she was allergic to something we aren't aware of and again adamant that no blame could possibly lie with him or his kitchen. I can honestly say that we were not looking for compensation or a quick free meal , I just think that if one of them could have apologised and recognised the possibility that they got something wrong in the kitchen it would have been enough to put my mind at ease. The denial and constant chatter on repeat from the owner and additionally the rudeness of the head Chef were very disappointing. Bottom line - If you have an allergy, sadly this restaurant is probably not...
