"I recently had the pleasure of dining at SoPa Thai, and it was truly a delightful experience! The moment I walked in, the atmosphere transported me to a world of Thai sophistication and allure. The culinary exploration began with Tom Kha, a delightful combination of coconut milk, galangal, and lemongrass. Each spoonful was a delicious harmony of creamy and zesty flavors that perfectly complemented the tender chicken pieces. It wasn't just soup; it felt like a warm embrace in a bowl. Next, the beautifully presented Green Curry arrived. The curry was a work of art, filled with the richness of green chilies and fragrant basil leaves. The vegetables were fresh, and the chicken was incredibly tender, all bathed in a sauce that was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet. Then came the highlight of the evening, Pad Thai. The noodles were coated in a flavorful tamarind sauce, mixed with eggs, tofu, and a generous sprinkling of crushed peanuts. The dish was a delightful mix of textures and flavors that left my taste buds amazed. The grand finale was the Mango and Sticky Rice. The mango was ripe and sweet, a wonderful complement to the warm yet slightly salty sticky rice. Drizzled with coconut milk, this dessert was not just a treat but a festival of flavors. In summary, SoPa Thai is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary paradise. Each dish showcased the chef's expertise in balancing flavors and textures. If you're in search of an authentic Thai dining experience, SoPa Thai is the place to go. Their Tom Kha, Green Curry, Pad Thai, and Mango Sticky Rice take you on a journey through the heart of Thailand. I highly recommend it!"

"Booked a table online for 7 people and got confirmation via email to say it had been received by the restaurant. On arriving at the restaurant I mentioned my name for the booking and the time, and the server looked confused and then asked how many people it was for. She told me and my friend to wait while she set up the table. Not sure how their online booking system works but they hadn’t realised we were coming. Luckily the restaurant was empty so there was plenty room for us. We were given Thai prawn crackers while we chose our food from the menu. Cutlery was set up for half of the table by the server and then the other half had to set it up themselves. We laughed this off as we couldn’t see a reason for the server only doing half and then walking away. We ordered a mixture of dishes between us and found they all arrived at different times, so some had almost finished by the time other food arrived. We felt that there was perhaps only one chef so the food didn’t come out at the same time. My duck pad thai was tasty and came with a good amount of duck. However my roti was mostly burnt on one side, as was my friend’s one. My friend enjoyed her tom yum soup which was not too spicy but filling. The salads were very spicy! At the end of the meal we were given a bill which wasn’t ours. It was a receipt for a takeaway order where none of the dishes matched what we had. My friend went to complain and get the correct bill (which the server didn’t quite understand). We were eventually given the correct one with service charge added on. We did not receive an apology for the mix up from the server. We reluctantly paid the service charge added on though not believing the service received warranted as such. No COVID measures in place apart from mask wearing, however some of the kitchen staff came out of the kitchen clearly not wearing one. We wore our masks when not at the table but there was no signs or enforcement to do this."
