Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the bao buns and the fried banana dessert, the latter praised for its crunchy batter and melty banana alongside vanilla ice cream, as a standout worth trying. Close behind, the Bangkok platter, pad Thai, and green and red curries draw consistent praise for authentic flavour, alongside drinks like the Thai pink milk, mango smoothie, and Thai milk tea. Several reviewers who've visited sister locations in Nottingham, Leeds, and Newcastle describe the food and drink as consistently excellent. One reviewer found the pork belly a bit too crispy to chew comfortably, though still flavourful. The staff draw frequent mention for being friendly, helpful, and accommodating to dietary restrictions, with one diner noting they stay upbeat even when busy and urging the service charge never be removed. The layout and music are repeatedly said to evoke Thailand's streets. One visitor returned two days in a row after loving the first meal.

“Visited this restaurant on a whim, and was so glad we did! Had 4 small entrees dishes, and each one was delicious, esp the stay chicken skewers. Had a good chat with the server whose family live in the south region of Thailand, which we spent some time there in 2023. Very authentic food and atmosphere, thank you team.”

“Stop for a quick meal and was not disappointed. I had boat noodles and mango smoothie was absolutely delicious. Mango smoothie in this hot weather (June) was so refreshing drink to go for. The restaurant layouts make you feel like Thailand. The staff are very friendly and helpful.”
