“What a wonderful find in Hitchin. We had such a lovely meal here and everything was presented so beautifully. The attention to detail really stood out, especially with the little flags tucked into the food and the edible flowers used as garnishes. It was a treat for the eyes as well as the taste buds. We will definitely be back soon.”

“Great! Huge portions, no starter needed, but if you cant help yourself, you can take away your left overs. Superb menu. Love the fact it comes with rice or noodles..... staff are just delicious, friendly, helpful, and happy to advise... definitely, recommend. We're going to try something new each visit. Chef cooks food in front of restaurant, you can see how it all happens... 5stars”

Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most specific praise, with the beef massaman and the coconut prawn curry both described as full of flavour. Close behind are the Pad Thai, drunken noodles with just the right amount of heat, holy basil chicken, Thai dumplings, and one reviewer's eel dish. Thai Iced Lemon tea is named as a regular order. Diners describe huge portions that come with rice or noodles, with leftovers taken away, and several call the staff friendly and helpful. One reviewer notes the chef cooks in front of the restaurant. The one caveat is that the room fills up. A reviewer saw it go from quiet at 6pm to full by 7pm and suggests reservations might be needed, while others walked in and found a table. Presentation gets repeated attention too, with little flags tucked into the dishes and edible flowers used as garnishes.
