The food was delicious and the service was attentive. The toilets, however, make us hesitant to want to return. I hope they get cleaned properly some time soon, as we would really like to come back :)

Service was amazing! Food was amazing! Overall was a great dinning experience. My only feedback would be to those who May be neurodivergent, bring your loop earplugs as in peak hour this place is popular, as it should be, and can have some louder background noise.

The delicious foods served in large portions at reasonable prices trumps the noisy and often chaotic restaurant atmosphere. Of course, we were there on a busy Saturday evening with a Rugby Team having some sort of reunion. Definitely a find if you don’t mind having to shout at the top of your lungs to communicate.

Honestly loved the vibe of the restaurant but the food we had weren’t good at all unfortunately. The pork in the pad kana moo gorb was unbelievably so difficult to chew. The rice was served cold. The curry tasted bland, lacking spice. Still, big thanks to the lovely staff for their service but I’ve had better thai food somewhere cheaper.

Everyone must check this place out. Loved every dish. The coconut rice was the best I’ve ever had. Was busy and loud and cramped, but the food makes it worthwhile.
