Customer Review Summary

Diners return most often for the Pad Krapow, the Thai basil pork stir fry that one takeaway customer called delicious, though one reviewer's version arrived with almost no basil in it and read as bland. Close behind, several single out the Thai green curry as a highlight, calling it rich and aromatic, alongside the Pad Kee Mao seafood loaded with prawns and squid and a peanut butter chicken dish praised for generous portions. Service draws consistent praise as warm, attentive, and friendly, and the Tom Yum Goong and grilled beef also earn mentions from visiting diners. One dissenting review pushes back hard on value and authenticity, citing nearly £20 basic dishes, £9 to £10 starters, overcooked chicken, and a total near £45 for two mains, plus a pad Thai served with lemon instead of the expected lime. Most others describe the cost as fair. Several recall being greeted with complimentary prawn crackers on arrival, crisp and not greasy, as an early sign of the meal to come.

    “Visited this restaurant to order takeaway. Met a lovely Thai lady who was so friendly. I ordered Pad Krapow (Thai basil stir fry with pork) with rice and fried egg. This was so good, delicious, and worth the price.”

    “Excelent food and atmosphere. If it was possible, I'd give more than 5 stars. The staff is really cordial and friendly and the food is delicious. I've eaten the honey chicken with noodles. It's worth the visit. The price is fair.”
