Ambience
This is a smaller venue compared to the one in Croydon but
the décor is very similar. You will find
typical Thai decorative pieces dotted around the restaurant and authentic Thai
staff. The whole feeling is quite cosy
and warm.
Food
We had some Thai Prawn Crackers to start which were nice and
for mains we shared a Pad Ta Krai which was beef with lemongrass, garlic and
chilli on a sizzler, Chang Mai Chicken Red Curry, Pad Thai Jay and a Coconut
Rice.
The beef was very tender but the sauce was more salty than
spicy and the chicken in the curry was too dry – it didn’t help that the pieces
were fairly big too. The Pad Thai was surprisingly
better than expected. The flat noodles
had a chewy texture which was good.
We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the portions. From past experience, portions of food in
Thai restaurants tend to be small but we struggled to finish all the food
between two of us. The food was served
over hot plates to keep warm during our meal which I thought was a nice touch.
Service
When we arrived, we were the only customers so the service
was attentive and prompt. There was a
large group that entered during the course of our meal but this did not affect
the great service level.
Summary
Overall the food was mediocre but given the good service and
ambience, I wouldn’t mind returning to try different dishes.
