Cons:
"Not great but okish food."
"Given all the praise, I was really looking to eating food from here... It was awful."
"The meal was unauthentic, improperly seasoned, the beef wasn't minced, there were unusual vegetables inside, it wasn't spicy at all, and the fried egg was missing."
"Food hot and clean but disappointingly didn't taste very authentic."
"The tom yum as it is way too salty and lacks any flavour besides salt."
"It had little to no flavour, no spice, no holy basil (kra prao)... the sauce had not been reduced enough."
"The pad thai had no complexity of flavours and was quite bland."

"Unfortunately, I had a very unfortunate customer experience at this restaurant."
"We were totally SHOCKED when we were told by the female staff that we can only have table for 1 hour."
"The waitress was horribly rude and was yelling."
"The food was okay but the staff is very rude and very unprofessional."

Value
Pros:
"Went for lunchtime menu and the food was delicious excellent value for money."
"Prices are so reasonable for this level of restaurant, which surely must be among the very best Thai eateries in the UK, if not Europe."
"The lunch menu if really affordable (£10.50 for starter + main) and for the quality you get it's a bargain !!"
"The food was incredible and really reasonably priced."
"Good value for money."
"Great value for money, veggie spring rolls and pad thai for £10.95."
"Really delicious and authentic Thai food, at extremely competitive prices."
Cons:
"The portion may be a wee bit smaller than expected."
"It is a bit pricey, but the food makes up for it."
"But £100 for 4 with no drinks other than water is quite pricey."
"Each small bowl for £3.25. So we were at almost £15 per small main dish."
"We had small plates with small servings. The prices are therefore not justifiable."
"Menu is overpriced for the quality. Bad experience. Never visit the place again."
"Just popped in on our way home for a take away, we ordered a selection of starters, and a prawn and cashew nut dish at £9.95 very disappointed with this dish and not great value, four small prawns and 6 cashew nuts if I was lucky."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Nice cozy place. Clean, and great food."
"If you love truly authentic Thai food in gorgeous surroundings then don't miss this little place."
"Lovely wee place, and great service too."
"It is a cozy place off the beaten path, with a welcoming interior."
"The decor and ambience of the restaurant is quaint and cosy."
"The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal."
"The atmosphere was very cute and cozy and the plates were beautiful!"
Cons:
"We feel it’s an unjustified behaviour to a request which is in our legal rights and worst is the lack of hospitality and this humiliating behaviour."
"The only difference was the couple they allowed to take the table was Asian and we are not. Felt very pointed, as nearly all guests inside were also Asian."
"Spoiled a bit when a large party took over the small restaurant and service for those of us left deteriorated."
"The restaurant looks small and old from the outside but don’t be fooled."
"Unfortunately, we didn't find much authenticity there."
"The lady at the counter was quite unfriendly, not offering a single smile or any kind of warm welcome."
"There was a hair in the dish, but they just picked the hair out and reheated the dish instead of serving a new one. Furthermore, they didn’t apologize or offered a discount."
