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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Really nice place down an alley in Thirsk. Waiting Staff seemed fine...... Starters only ok but the duck rolls were very fatty and had to pick through the meet. Next issue was when the mains arrived the kitchen had mixed up our rice so my...gf had my rice and I had hers. The final straw was I simply couldn't eat my main dish Red Curry as so so salty. I asked my gf how her food was and she said the same thing way to salty. When the waiting staff removed our plates no one asked if our food was ok. Also very difficult to get waiting staffs attention to pay the bill so had to go and pay at the counter as sick of waiting. GF shocked and she's Thai... Poor and disappointing as NOT Thai food.More

This little Thai restaurant is tucked away down a side street in thirst and this was our first visit. Lovely restaurant ….. service was excellent and very friendly , food was fab and reasonably priced . Booked for 6 clock on a Friday and restaurant...soon filled up which gave it a good atmosphere Asked the waitress for guidance with started and was recommended the pork sausage which was an excellent choice. It was full of flavour and packed a punch. Wife went for chicken status which was accompanied with pickled veg which gave the dish a fresh and acidic twist. For main wife went off the specials menu and chose been shin massaman which was really good. I chose a spiced chicken dish …. Forgot the name but again was excellent . All of which was washed down with a cheeky bottle of house red (£16). All told bill was about £55 which I think was extremely reasonable Only negative was that the food came out two quick and I like a little gap in between courses Will definitely be going back and soon I hopeMore

As we walked in the delicious smells greeted us, and we knew we'd made a good choice. The food was just so, so good. Both my husband and I haven't eaten this well is ages. Both our meals were top-notch. Mine was a massaman with...beef shin and coconut and both our meals were both off the specials menu. My mouth is watering, just thinking about it again. The service was also very good.More

Great food and service with a smile Called in travelling to York from the NE. Simple menu with plenty of choice. The Thai sausage starter was delicious and the main course of belly pork tender and spicy. The food was served with a smile in...a a light and open environment. If you like Thai food make sure you call in….I’ll be returning.More

Me and 2 of my friends went for a meal on Saturday 4th of Feb. We had twice cooked ribs as starters, they were the best ribs all of us had ever had. The meat was so tender it melted in your mouth and the...taste was scrumptious. We then all had a Thai curry which to me was more like a not too spicy stew and again the meat melted in your mouth, it was served with jasmine rice. For desert one had sorbet and 2 of us had salted caramel tart, omg gorgeous. We were then joined by my son who had just left work, he had the ribs. So 3 of us had 3 courses, one had a starter. Bottle of wine, 3 bacadi and cokes and one gin and tonic £120 What a steal for such gorgeous food. The restaurant is a bit like a tardice, bigger than expected when you walk in, not too big though. It was inviting, cosy and we would 110% be visiting again on many an occasion. Our compliments to the chef and also the 2 lovely polite waitresses. A big thank you.More

I am Asian so I really want to have authentic foods, tried so many Thai restaurants but not many satisfy me. So I thought this one is the same as the others, turned out the foods were delicious and really authentic. We ordered 4 starters...and 4 main courses, and all of them were amazing. I hope they open at lunchtime because we live far from Thrisk and not convenient for us to travel at night.More
