Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most mentions, with green curry singled out by two reviewers alongside yellow curry and a beef Massaman, and the heat described as warm but not overpowering. Close behind are the soft, tender squid and the duck tacos with mango salsa, which one diner says is the most tender duck they have had. Reviewers also name the prawn toast, a pork belly that is crunchy yet buttery soft, crispy lamb ribs, and a Pad Thai. For dessert, the biscoff cheesecake and mango sticky rice get praise. Portions are called generous and the food authentic. Several describe lovely, friendly staff, a calm and relaxing room, and speedy service, including one couple on a last minute date night. One diner finishes by noting the beer arrived in pre chilled glasses.

“Booked as a last minute date night and was not disappointed. The lady serving was incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was perfect, a nice sized restaurant that was intimate whilst also not being too big or too small. Service was super speedy and the food was excellent. Will absolutely be visiting again.”
