Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the welcome and service, describing warm, friendly waitresses and staff who never made a table feel rushed. Food comes close behind, with dishes described as beautifully presented and delicious, including the pork ribs starter, coconut rice, crispy tempura, skewers, and papaya salad. Several also praise the breakfast and brunch, naming a crispy waffle, flavourful duck, and well-cooked eggs. Birthday visits stand out: one table received complimentary cocktails while waiting for mains, and another was given a free birthday dessert, a brownie with a lit candle. One walk-in pair without a booking was seated before a concert. The caveats concern flavour and value. One reviewer found the yellow coconut curry lacking depth and small in portion for the price, and another felt the flavours could be more authentic for a fine dining Thai restaurant. Some mention the view over the river, and the complimentary birthday dessert handed over when the bill was requested closes out the happiest accounts.

“Good environment and service, and have a good view looking out of the tyne river, appropriate for 4-6 people, and have a free space for parking. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Overall, it was a good dining experience. However, for a fine dining Thai restaurant, I think the flavours could be more authentic and better reflect traditional Thai cuisine. I hope will be approve in next time visiting, and i willing to come here again.”

“We had such a fantastic time visiting this spot. Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. The highlight was definitely the birthday surprise. That brownie looked incredible, especially with the candle lit. It was the perfect way to end our evening. Everything from the drinks to the mains was top-tier, and the atmosphere was just right. We will definitely be back.”

“This place is well worth the drive to from anywhere, the welcome is amazing and food delicious 😋 would have taken photos of the mains but forgot too as we dived right in before remembering. Honestly best Thai I have had in the UK”
