Please read all reviews carefully. The food had very bland tastes and was not what we were expecting. The service was excellent, but the food just didn't meet our expectations. It seems like the restaurant is in attack mode, but maybe if they check themselves, they could attract more customers. My reviews are fair, and it seems like the restaurant cannot handle any honest criticism. Another customer at the restaurant had the same negative experience and shared it with the waitress, who did her best to accommodate us. It seems clear that it's not the customers who are ruining the restaurant's business.

The waiters at this restaurant provide fantastic service and are very attentive. The venue is lovely, with a modern and well-decorated atmosphere. However, I was disappointed with the food as it did not meet my expectations. In my opinion, the pad Thai and red curry were not authentic Thai dishes and were rather bland. The king prawn starter, on the other hand, was delicious. Overall, the restaurant has a nice ambiance and friendly staff, but it may not be the best choice for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine.

Surprisingly good Thai food. The restaurant is tucked in a hotel on Shakespeare road. I wasn't a fan of the place itself, the decor makes the place a little dark and the ceiling needs some TLC. The food on the other hand is something you need to try. The flavours of the curries were spot on. The rice was delicious, the starters were tasty. Definitely coming back to try more things. So far, it has me impressed. If you are looking for a decent Thai, book yourself a table now, the prices are decent too!

Ordered tom yum and red curry for take away, was lacking in authentic Thai flavour asked for extra hot but was not hot at all. They don't use bird's eye chillies. It is more bland in comparison to other Thai places I've eaten at i.e. has less spices and flavour but for people who prefer milder food this might suit. Portion sizes were generous.
