Enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal! We hadn't pre-booked but fortunately there was a table for the two of us available. For starters, I enjoyed the tofu satay skewers and then had the sweet and sour tofu for mains. We shared a jasmine rice and tom yum fries and the portion sizes were all perfect. Although we don't eat meat, we were more than spoilt for choice and it was great to have a decent range of tofu options, which I love. Therefore very good for vegetarians.
As you can see from all the positive reviews, this place is great and deserves nothing but praise. Booking is generally required and recommended as only a small restaurant. I've yet to see it anything but fully booked with multiple walk-in's having to be turned away but politely offered their takeaway service. The staff are all warm, friendly and attentive. They are always happy to explain menu items and offer recommendations based on your preferences. The food is always delicious with no long waits after ordering. There's a reason its always full and, if you enjoy Thai food, I can't imagine anyone not having a positive experience here.
We happened upon this lovely restaurant whilst wandering on Newland Avenue. Wanting to try somewhere different for lunch we thought this would tick that box. Lovely, cosy interior. Nicely decorated with Thai touches throughout added to the decor. Toilet facilities clean and well stocked. Now to the food... 2 courses for £14.95 each. Very good value. Lattes each for our beverage. Tiger prawn starter and a beef curry main for hubby. Vegetable starter and Quorn & vegetable stir-fry main for me. Food arrived piping hot. All freshly cooked to order. Totally fabulous flavours and presentation. Faultless dining experience including the lovely table staff. I highly recommend and will definitely return.
What a great find, you cannot go wrong doing your research before you go to cities for a visit.. to any restaurants or bars. Food was exceptional, very very tasty, great friendly service definitely recommend visiting here. We booked a table in advance of visiting Hull for a weekend stay.
My partner and I drove from Scunthorpe to try this place and we’re glad we did! I love Thai food and this place was fantastic, the atmosphere is so cosy and the staff were all very kind and the right level of attentive, the food was delicious and we’ll be coming back soon to try other things! We usually always order the same foods but looking at their specials we’re coming back specifically to ‘push the boat out’ a little because they sounded great! Price was more than reasonable for what we could tell was all fresh home-style cooking, even the sauces were homemade and fresh, and it doesn’t feel loud or cramped in their either. Would highly recommend to Thai food lovers and anyone wanting to try something new, you won’t regret it, do book if you want to go though as they were full for our whole meal! And it was a Tuesday, without a booking I doubt that you’ll get in on the busier days of the week
