Sticky menus and not being asked for our drinks order should have been our cue to leave.
Alas, being overly polite, we decided to stay.
Took 45 mins for the starters to be served, and the restaurant wasn't busy.
3 small spring rolls cut in half & wet garnish for £8. Mains were finally served 1hr 20 mins after arriving. 4 prawns, some veg & rice for £13.
Sauce portions were miniscule.
Apart from one lady, front of house were scruffy and unprofessional.
Bill was wrong and needed to be adjusted to suit.
Be warned they automatically add a 10% service charge, which you need to request to have removed.
Very disappointing experience all round. Such a shame.

Me and my family went for my grandma's birthday. We had a wonderful time the food was amazing and filling. They gave us wipes and mints at the end too.The service was top tier, as they kept checking if everything was ok and the food arrived quickly. There was a calm atmosphere probably as it wasn't as busy as it could get. There are lots of Decorations everywhere and the tables and chairs were stunning. I highly recommend visiting the place and I hope you enjoy it too if you go.

Lovely surroundings. Very authentic Thai. Food was good but was surprised to be charged over £11 for a dish of bean sprouts! There was a side dish on the menu of bean sprouts and noodles for around £6 and we asked for just bean sprouts.
We queried the bill but they insisted the bean sprouts were a full meal!!😳 They cost more than the pork dish one of our group had!
May visit again as food was good but will definitely not be asking for anything not on the menu!! 😫

Was very busy. Lots of deliveroo drivers etc, coming in and out of the doors. I think they may have been short staffed. Although, very cool tables and chairs. Staff were friendly and personable. Good was very nice, not the best I have had, nonetheless, still very tasty.

Worst Thai Food restaurant I have ever been too.
Ordered Tom Yum Soup - two portions and each was different from the other in consistency and content.
The Thai Green Curry was very very oily. The food was cooked by a chef with a heavy hand when oil.
Noodles very soaked in stale oil and glistened in the light.
Really poor experience when it comes to Thai food.
Not authentic or tasty at all.
Disappointing!
Left the food after a few spoons and let the waitress know who said - sorry and that was it.
A sheer waste of our money £56.82.
A restaurant where they even charge you for the chilli sauce.
Shameful!
Bonus: the complimentary imperial mint washed away the oil from the mouth.
Avoid.

Excellent service and food. Everything is freshly prepared and extremely tasty. The duck pancakes, whilst not Thai, were delicious. Service excellent and great advice given.
