"A restaurant that has been recommended a couple of times by different friends, and one which we have been to a few times for our fix of good Chinese food. On this occasion we treated my Partner 's nephew and niece (a fussy eater) to a meal in China Town (in the big city of London). All enjoyed good food, with decent servings, in a restaurant decorated in typical Chinese restaurant style. They were happy to pack up the leftovers for us to take home. The service was punctual and efficient, but it cannot be described as friendly (it is not unfriendly). Attempts at conversing with the staff were rebuffed. We did requested chopsticks with rubber bands for the children, and these were supplied after a delay, but no offer of help to show the children how to use chopsticks. We would go again, as we enjoyed the food and as I said the service was efficient and punctual."

"great food! new at coulsdon, I thought thai venue looked good, but a real shand was so quiet at a Fri evening. 3 of us had the cheapest of set menus with a bottle of wine and coffee and it was just under £20 a head. especially eating was excellent, the service inconspicuous but efficient. probably better than baan thai in purley (although I love the decor there! . will certainly go back this restaurant deserves to be more business!"

"This is a review for takeout. We ordered a Thai takeaway for a family of 4 adults and found it to be expensive, costing over £84 with a pre-set delivery charge and service charge included. Although I don't mind paying for good food, the portion sizes did not match the price we paid. The hot and sour soup was served in a tiny plastic bowl with minimal prawns and mushrooms, lacking substance. The prawn toasts and spring rolls were extremely small, almost laughable in size. While the main courses were tasty, the portions were so small that we were left hungry afterwards. Overall, we found the food to be very poor value for money. Although there were no issues with the Deliveroo delivery service, we will not be ordering from this restaurant again."

"I have just had lunch at this pub after an absence of about 6 years and there used to be a fantastic Thai restaurant attached to this. I came in hoping to re live old experiences. The place was deserted and it was a Friday lunch time, that should have been a clue. OMG, what an appalling disappointment. The menu was pan Asian now and I ordered 'the Korean mixed fried rice '. They were basically trying to do a Korean bibimpap. A very simple dish to put together) What was offered was ridiculous meal put together by someone who clearly does not know how to cook. It was a bowl of 'boiled rice ' jasmine with some julienned carrot and 'cucumber ' placed on top, with some pre cooked prawns from the supermarket and a bit of Kimchi and a fried egg on top practically inedible , I left most of it and told them I was really disappointed and why , they didn 't disagree and were polite but did not offer any kind of refund. The total cost of my meal was just over £15 with a small draft diet coke. terrible value for money for an almost inedible meal) avoid like the plague for the food."

"I still have not my head, as the name of this restaurant should be pronounced, the best I can do is kao fi ray a, but what is certain that this is a great restaurant in the wonderful granit city, the restaurant seems a renovated bank on a scale from a cathedrale to Thai food with golden exotic statues that graze several key points. the atmosphere is intoxicating far east promise and must represent a significant investment in design and execution. the service was gracious and attentive at any time of mairi. we have been on prawn tom yum and kha, pork pliersloin, duck tamarinde, kokosreis and jasminreis plus two large bottles singaha for a total cost of £66 and very good value."

"my first experience of thai food. our friends went to chaophraya in edinburgh and loved it. Although chaophraya is a chain, it seems that everyone is something different. this special place had a beautiful ambiente and decor to put a chilled mood. we were received to sit up. a beautiful spacious opposite. a very wide menu, very well organized, but so hard to know what to choose with the many options. the only place where I have ever frangelico on the drink card! a definitive winner! a “must taste” drink! my eating option was very good and the additional egg frying was also not disappointed. Unfortunately my wife wasn't too sharp. the service is also friendly. they are observing and thoughtful support, where possible, very good. Although it seems to be a lot of waiters/waxes standing around you and eating you, which makes it easy to unpleasant. the toilet areas are clean and regularly controlled, keeping a clean standard. parking is also plentiful. there are many places to park, to walk from the restaurant. Thai food would not be my personal first option, but if they are in Thai food, then this might be the place for them. as a Google reviewer in the top 10% of the reviewers for the restaurants we were also granted a 15% discount, which was very friendly. many thanks to all employees in chaophraya."

"A friend recommended this place to us. We have been in search of a good thai place in Bournemouth. Upon entering we were welcomed by the good ambience of a small fish pond and a nice server. We put in our orders which is a green papaya salad and spring rolls. The spring rolls was okay, but the papaya salad was amazing. It had that heat that I’ve been looking for in asian dishes. My husband who is not fond of fish sauce slurped the sauce of it. And then I ordered Pad Thai for mains and he ordered the drunken noodles. First bite and we were mind blown. It was amazing!!! The flavor profile and the mouth feel was just spot on. And the prices were great too. 2 starters and 2 mains was for less than £40. This is our new favorite place in Bournemouth. This place is so underrated."

"Finding a restaurant that serves halal Thai Cuisine in London was nothing less than finding Aladin’s magic lamp for a foodie like me!!! The mouthwatering unforgettable taste of authentic Thai food, the decor and the excellent service provided by the friendly staffs just created a magical atmosphere on our special dinner outing. Would highly recommend to those who crave for halal Thai Food in London."

"We love PPA and have been coming here as a family for a couple of years, since moving to Winchester. It has been a real shame that lockdown has prevented them from operating as usual it was great to go back tonight for a treat, just the two of us. The front of house greeting and service was superb, and we really felt welcomed. Drinks and food orders were taken quickly, and the waiter returned to check that the order received by the kitchen was correct (far better than risking getting it wrong). Wine was ice cold and served properly. Starters were very nice, although in our gluttony we ordered too much the Thai ribs are melt in the mouth tender meat, and the size of a small steak. Partner's lemongrass fish skewers were likewise lovely. We also ordered the tempura vegetables, which were divinely crispy and tasty and I ate too many...... My main course of coconut/cashew crusted chicken on top of mango salad was lovely, the crunch was great against the sharp fruity salad. Partner had sea bass loved it. Far too full to consider dessert but that was our fault entirely. I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent restaurant the fact that the waiter looked concerned at my not competely cleared plate (which was due to my aforementioned gluttony) and asked if everything had been OK just exemplifies how much the team cares about their customers. There was a kind, understanding smile offered when we pointed out we were completely stuffed, though! Tiny point to conform (I think) with govt regs re: COVID 19 the ceiling fans/air con were on full blast and it was freezing cold. Management sorted it out quickly by turning it down when we pointed out the temperature issue take a cardigan though. A really great restaurant with a really great manager and whole team. Such a pleasure to eat at PPA we will be back."

"First time experience with this restaurant, we ordered a takeaway. Staff very polite, but we were sorry of existing that given our 2 starters and 2 mains cost £60, which is an extravagantly high price for a simple takeaway. The Tom Yum soup appears to have been made using a shop bought paste, there were none of the fresh ingredients you bought get in a Tom Yum soup. Just a bland soup with a few mushrooms added and 4 prawns (for an extra £3!!! . The mixed starter was tiny, every element had more than a sniff of cost cutting about it, they were like child portions. The ribs were good, everything else was distinctly average, which is highly disappointing given the price. Thai green curry was good but watered down to make it go futher, and there were a few tiny slithers of beef (again, for the extra £3 . The beef in black bean sauce was also childlike in portion size. Overall some elements of the food were good but the overwhelming feeling is one of cost cutting whilst ripping you off. We should literally have paid half the price for what we received, and the average quality nowhere near stacks up against the high pricing and insultingly small portion sizes."

"my daughter insisted that we visit chaophraya in some places to appreciate the aromes. we were not disappointed. I chose the chickensatay star and the green curry with cocos rice main to measure the stack dishes. I also chose a scallop ceviché to experience the unique chaophraya side of the menu. all dishes were served very quickly and efficiently. only the aromen of the dishes on the table were mouthwatering enough, the aromen were even better."

"Exceptionally good food, generous portions and great value. Some of the best Thai we have had in York. Highly recommend the Massaman (lovely slow cooked chicken), or the chilli basil stir fry. The service was great, so welcoming and friendly. First time we’ve been, but we’ll definitely be back!"
