"It’s excellent food, it’s good portions and it’s a fair price too at this town centre place. I called on spec and ordered when I got there. One starter, and mains with a boiled and a fried rice It took minutes...as they deservedly were very busy. Although it’s advertised as Thai it also offers a limited Chinese food selection and my starter was more of nod to Chinese: wonderfully good, steamed, minced pork and prawn wantons with a tasty soy based dipping sauce. I got a vegetarian Thai red curry and it too was delicious with just the right amount of spice heat for me. Soi in Newry serves a better dish (only as it has potato tofu included too) but they won’t compromise on spice heat and I find their spice heat is the wrong side of pleasant for me. I also got a sweet sour chicken for my wife she’s not a big a Thai fan and it was actual, proper sweet sour sauce with a generous amount of red pepper and while you may ask ‘so what’ it’s very hard to find decent sweet sour in Newry. It’s been so long since we’ve had decent Chinese food. Better still the chicken was only chicken no potato starch batter in sight and the delightful fried rice wasn’t over glugged with cheap, nasty chemical soy sauce as it is in most Newry takeouts. There’s a simple fact and message here if you want quite good take out Chinese food (or fish chips for that matter) then don’t bother with Newry as the Chinese takeaways here are just barely mediocre at best and insultingly overpriced to make a very bad situation much worse and the cut for JustEat has to be added too. If you want good value Thai then it’s this place. Yes it’s a way to go for it but as it offers some good Chinese food too it’s worth it for me as I’m so sick overpaying for **** Chinese food and I’m not overly enamoured subsidising the JustEat racket either. New year and still a grumpy beggar."

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"
