Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Certainly far from the best Thai restaurant I have visited. Visited on a Thursday evening but only one other table occupied, as such, no atmosphere. Very basic inside, staff were ok, usual menu, and the food was ok, nothing to make me want to go...back.More

My husband had visited here with work one lunch time and said how good it was, so we went with our friends on Friday evening. It is a real gem of a find. The place itself used to be a pub so it’s set out...very simply nothing up market in looks but the food is absolutely delicious. Very traditional Thai food, very authentic. Both of us as couple chose the shared starter, we had the chicken satay and the corn cakes, both were delicious. Our friend had the squid and said it was the best they had ever tasted. We all had different mains and none of us were disappointed. The staff were friendly, you weren’t rushed, prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back.More

Great food, great service, can't find a bad thing to say about the place. The mixed starter was lovley. The main course (weeping tiger) was absolutely fantastic.

TLDR: don't come here if you are not from England. I hate to give this review, because it's excellent Thai food. But the owner (or is it the owner's husband?) is absolutely insufferable. We have been there many times, but tonight will be our last....Each time he hands us the bill, he wants to know how much we would like to tip. As we are American, I don't fault some English hearing our accent and trying to take advantage of our culture of tipping. But we have politely declined, and tonight was no exception. Tonight, he decided to pick a fight about it, demanding to know where else in England we have been that didn't expect a tip. I told him "many places", although I should have noted that his wife, who often brings us the bill, has never once asked if we would like to leave a tip. That answer did not satisfy him. He berated us for several minutes, before I asked: Do you demand a tip from all your patrons, or just foreigners? He said he brings this topic up with all his customers. To which I responded: And do they enjoy being berated and pressured to leave to leave a tip? He then had the audacity to say something to the effect of "well you keep coming back" as if our continued presence indicates that we enjoy being bullied. I told him that we may have been there many times in the past, but this would be our last.More

This was the first time I had eaten here although my husband has been a number of times. In my opinion the decor could do with an update, however the food did not disappoint we decided to forgo the Thai Prawn Crackers and opt the...Mixed Starter for 2 this was enough for a starter and very tasty, I had the Giant King Prawn with Panang Curry and my husband had Crispy Sea Bass with Thai Herbs both were delicious. Everything is cooked to order and although they are dealing with a constant stream of orders for delivery, our wait was not that long. The restaurant wasn’t busy and it was a weekday but I would recommend booking a table if you want to specifically eat here am sure the weekends are busy and noisy so possibly not suitable if you are celebrating something special however, if you are looking for somewhere that’s friendly with good food then you should definitely try here.More

Food was amazing from the Thai restaurant. The beef was cooked perfectly, and so tender. Cocktail was delicious. Overall, would highly recommend. Staff were very friendly, and it’s a nice simple restaurant.

Friendly service. Really nice food especially the starters; thai fish cake, spring rolls etc with beautiful carved carrots and really freshly made. Noodles and curries for main good too. Been twice in the last couple of weeks, definitely going back again!

Ordered on deliveroo a pad thai and there were hairs in the food. Super unhygienic. I contacted Deliveroo requesting for a refund as I was not going to eat the food. They told me to contact the restaurant, which I did- apparently for nothing because...they were not helpful at all and said they would not refund me. Nor send me a new order. Nor did they apologise.More

Since this Thai restaurant was conveniently located near our accommodation, we decided to give it a try. We ordered some tom yum soup, prawn toast, papaya salad, green curry, spicy chicken stir fry and phad thai noodles. The food was fine, except the tom yum...which tasted a bit unusual, while the service was quite good.More

Our family visit was marred by a miserable failure to get our meal on time some of us had well finished our meal whilst others in our group still had eaten not a scrap! The chaos & lack of communication between kitchen & waiting staff...was mystifying & the landlord was suddenly unavailable when I paid the bill.This pub needs new management urgently!More

The food is fabulous, the staff are very friendly. It's clean and nicely decorated- plus there's a very nice garden to sit out in at this time of year. Top place to go for dinner!

My wife is Thai so we’ve tried all the restaurants in the area. She reckons that the best Thai food in Cambridge is to be had at the Cricketers. Certainly it’s better value than most and the service is generally friendly and helpful. There’s a...nice courtyard garden for a sly, sunny drink, too.More

We booked a table for 5 people (3 adults 2 children) we arrived at 5.30pm just half an hour after the restaurant opened at 5pm. Drinks and mains orders were taken promptly but boy was it slow in arriving!!! It took nearly 40 minutes before...the starters even arrived- and we got there early, before the crowd!! The rice was also cold!! The food was good but nothing special- it’s the lacklustre service that really put me off. The waitress was half asleep - when I said goodbye to her she barely looked at me. Such excellent service- NOT The deco too was dated and unloved- we even saw cobwebs on the lamps😬 Needless to say we won’t go there again!!More
