I was perplexed that they didn't know the Thai dish 'pad kee mow', but the food was very good. On par with other Thai restaurants I love. More

Once again we had a great meal here. The service is always attentive, the wine list is sufficient, and the food is good. My only gripe is that the four seater table is just too small for all the dishes and the drinks! More

Our lunch cost £25 for two courses and a drink each! For this kind of price one might expect mediocre food, but this place was excellent. The food was some of the best Thai I've had in the UK, very fresh and tasty. Service and atmosphere were excellent too. More

Eat here a lot. Very nice food, good service and good value.

We cook Thai regularly, and source all the ingredients locally, but, when asked about the... More

I have been here many times and to the owners previous restaurant in Bath for over 20 years. The menu here is fairly extensive, always cooked by Thai Chefs from Thailand. I used to teach Thai Cookery myself and can only say how good and authentic the food is. The owner and her son run front of house and are... More

Love this place - lovely food, great friendly service. Never disappointed and have been many times. On hot days you can sit outside on comfy swinging seats which is very pleasant (undercover if raining). Highly recommended. More
