  • "Really tasty food and fantastic service, everything we ate was absolutely fantastic!"
  • "Food was great very flavoursome. Had pad Thai and shredded beef."

  • "The food was the worst Asian cuisine I've ever tasted, and the menu was painfully limited."
  • "Food was very disappointing. Green Thai curry was the worst I have eaten."

  • "The whole meal was poor though, it all needed microwaving as it was cold, and portion size was absolutely tiny."
  • "The pad Thai was sugary, should put a warning sign for diabetics!"
  • "The chow mein was hands down the worst I've ever bar. Bland, unflavoured tasting tofu and the noodles really lacked flavour too."

  • "It was okay. We still feel this is a slightly overpriced experienced."
  • "Bland and overpriced."

Cons:

  • "we were given filthy menu’s and already used napkins."
  • "rud waitress and paying bill was nightmare."
