Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the Pad Thai as exceptional, with the mixed hors d'oeuvres starter and spring rolls also praised, and staff described as welcoming and accommodating.

Another describes a takeaway ordered for a delivery time that stretched well past an hour.

“Don’t normally leave reviews but I ordered from here for the first time…wow absolutely exceptional. I ordered Pad Thai without meat but with roasted vegetables honestly best Pad Thai I have ever had the flavour was amazing. Spring rolls tasted fresh and my partner ordered beef which was gone in about 2 seconds. Please continue making food this good, we will be ordering again!!”

“Saturday evening phoned 18:36 for a takeaway for 3 people. Was told 30 to 35 mins delivery. We were only 5 mins away. 1 hour later phoned again and was told it was on its way. …”

“Whenever we are in England, we must go to Ting Tong Thai Cafe where the food is delicious and fragrant. The Pad Thai is the best in England and the best I've ever eaten. The slow cooked ribs are so yummy that you want to eat your fingers because the flavour is so good. Oh my!! Tom and his beautiful wife and family are very welcoming and it is a great joy to dine here. We've only been in England for 8 days and we've eaten here twice. I know that we'll be back before returning home. Thank you for making us happier and filled with deliciousness.”

“Fantastic food and service. We really enjoyed our meals. The staff were great and really very accommodating. My only issue really was in terms of the cost and serving size. For the portions it's very expensive. The crackers we were served when we came in were in a small bowl and I don't think they were worth £3.50. The portions of rice that you pay for separately also were not worth it for the size. Other than that the meals themselves were outstanding and I look forward to coming back at some point to try other things on the menu.”
