Spicy Thai soup with shrimp, mushrooms, lemongrass, and lime for a tangy, aromatic experience.

"We had a mixed platter starter which was by far one of the best starters I've had in a restaurant. It was ideal to have a little piece of everything and quite filling in itself. The service was excellent and the restaurant were very accommodating of one of our party members being late. We were able to enjoy a drink in the bar as we waited. An enjoyable evening was spent here with good company and very good food"

"This classic pub serves good Thai food and offers a variety of ales. The grilled pork neck is tasty and a unique dish not often found elsewhere. The Pad Thai may be a bit too sweet for some palates, but if you enjoy traditional Thai dishes such as red, green, and Penang curry commonly served in the UK, paired with a cozy pub setting, then you will likely find something to enjoy here."

"Terrible customer service. At 10:50, one of the waiters came to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. At 10:51 they brought us the bill and then at 10:52 they started taking the payment. They were basically kicking us out of the restaurant. I removed the service charge (which is optional), for the same and they then came and took the plates away when I was STILL eating. Disgraceful and extremely poor customer service. I do NOT recommend this place at all."

"I brought my family here for Mother’s Day and the dining experience did not disappoint. The cocktails were lovely, the food was simply delicious and the service was 5 stars. We stayed for 3 courses and handed the table back at the end of our time slot which was more than enough time to eat, talk and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. The calamari and steak were cooked to perfection not overcooked and rubbery as some places serve. The classic pad Thai was scrumptious and did not disappoint with the peanuts served on the side allowing me to choose how crunchy I wanted it. The tofu was nicely done as well. My mother absolutely loved the sorbet flavours offered for dessert and the banana pancakes and vanilla ice cream was a welcomed treat. We advised them of an allergy or intolerance and they were very diligent and attentive to this. Often checking before serving each course. Portion sizes were reasonable and so was the pricing. Definitely value for money and I intend to go back."

"When we arrived I was really pleased as all the tables had tablecloths and cloth napkins. We ordered poppadoms and prickles which were nice, and I ordered a Thai chicken curry and my nephew ordered a vegetable curry along vegetable noodles. When the curries arrived they looked exactly the same, and I think they were. The one I was given didn’t have any chicken in it, so went back to kitchen. When my dish returned it looked entirely different, and it had chicken in it, but it also had aubergine which I am allergic to. I had to pick the aubergine out. We didn’t have the experience I was hoping for, it was very disappointing. There were only two other people in the restaurant so it wasn’t busy, goodness knows how they managed to get my meal so wrong."

"After several successful visits over the last year or so, tonight was a disappointment and bordering on poor rather than average, so I am being generous with 3 stars. The food was tasty enough and the wine very drinkable. When we arrived the restaurant was full and despite reserving a table well in advance, we were given what must have been the worst table in the place. If it wasn't for the fact that we were hungry and were on a time limit we would have walked. The table was next to the toilet, opposite a store cupboard, had a view of a rubbish bin and was also next to the washing up room with clattering dishes all night. Service was surly to say the least, one waitress was OK the other was rude, dismissive and clearly didn't want to be there. Sadly, the overall experience tonight means that we won't return and will look next time towards Clapham Junction where we know there are some Thai restaurants that actually want your custom. I seriously considered removing the added automatic 12.5% service charge from the bill but couldn't be bothered with the hassle so just paid up and left. Disappointing in the extreme!"

"I have always wanted to visit this restaurant as we have been to Thailand many times and have taken cookery classes. The restaurant and welcome was very nice, clean, and cool, with a lovely setting. It was quiet, as expected, since we arrived quite early. The waitress who served us was okay, but did not seem very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which is my wife's allergy. We were surprised when she said that the red Thai curry may not be gluten-free. We asked if the crackers were gluten-free, and she went to check, but never mentioned it until I asked, which was not good service as it is difficult for my wife and felt like an inconvenience. The man who served us was very friendly, which was better. The food was hot and tasty, and we really enjoyed the fresh flavors of Thai cuisine. We are considering returning for the tapas menu or just for a drink. When we left, the Thai lady was very friendly and asked how everything was, and it was nice to say thank you in Thai as it is one of the few words we know. I would recommend this restaurant, but hope that the waiting staff will return with an answer if asked about availability."

"Delicious food and excellent service. We had starters, main courses and dessert and all were very tasty, well presented, and obviously freshly cooked hot. Our waitresses were lovely; kind and helpful and very knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. Well done The Chequers; we'll be back!"

"Went here for dinner, had been visiting Harrogate and looking for Thai food on our Friday night. We didn't have a table booked up we waited in the bar for 20 minutes and had a drink, and they managed to fit us in. This was hands down the best thai food we've had in the UK, all the dishes were fabulous. Me and my husband had Set Menu B, an amazing array of dishes. Loved the mixed starter, the massaman and pork belly were also favourites. Our friends had fish cakes for stater, and then pad thai and curry for main, also all great. Staff were really attentive and nice without being overbearing. And the food is great value for money too, with massive portions. We will definitely be going back when we're next in Harrogate."

"We are preparing for our final visit to Suchard's before it closes permanently at the end of March. This local restaurant is a hidden gem, offering consistently tasty food, a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, friendly service, and great vegetarian options. Visiting this place is like putting on a cozy pair of slippers. It was the first restaurant we visited after the lockdown in 2020, and we have missed it greatly. We will miss it even more once it's gone for good. Some of our favorite dishes include som tum, gaprow, nasi goreng, pad kee moa, and jungle curry, but everything on the menu is delicious. We want to thank Suchard and the team for the wonderful meals and wish them a happy and well-deserved retirement."

"1) environment (0.25/1) interesting decoration (small pot plants along the wall.) however the kitchen directly at the entrance makes the place a little conjusted look also the seats (single) can be made more comfortable 2) eating (0.75/1) the fishcakes were really tasteful, but were fried. their spring rollers were seen twice as large as the normal at other places. the vegetarian tofu pad thai was something my friend totally loved. I also enjoyed my thai curry (padped) with jasminreis. very generous portions and we loved the touch of their crushed earthen nuts together with the net! 3) service (0.25/1) service was fast, but a big part was that * they did not accept card...more"

"Nice size and cheerful, relaxed atmosphere. Just pretty pricey for what it is, especially if you're on a student budget. Friendly service, despite the slightly weird lack of water jugs you'll be given a glass of water which is then refilled randomly. Food was nice and there is a good range of choice (including for veggies), but the pricing is just too high. Especially considering the place's proximity to city centre and therefore so many colleges and student accommodations, there should at least be student discount. We were charged around £9 for a very small dish of around 5 pieces of chilli squid, with a tiny dish of sauce that barely lasted. Soups are really yummy but, again, too expensive. The cheapest one is wonton and is around £13, for which i was expecting a portion far bigger than the medium bowl I got. Overall: nice, cheery experience, but the bill was over £50 for two people without drinks."

"Excellent food but a curious staff attitude. Reserved a table on “Open Table” and arrived to a cold lifeless reception. The restaurant was not full but we were shown to an awkward table between the main traffic flow and a table of six guys in dirty work attire, thanks but no thanks we will have that nice romantic big table over there… much better! Do staff not think what does the customer want? Who wants to sit there? Good food well presented and tasty. Decent wine list. All hand sanitisers were empty and dirty. The toilets need a damn good cleaning. The whole place needs a revamp, poor lighting, no background music and it feels like a school dining room with pictures. We would return but only if no where else was available, previous reviews are much too generous in their comments and lack any critical review. We rated it 5/10, could do much better and be much happier."

"Ichiban Fusion is a staple restaurant for us. The menu is simple and straightforward, food is excellent and prices are decent. Staff are always friendly, and we’ve only once ever had an issue with an order (one plate of food being forgotten about). Having dined...there a lot, one issue isn’t a big deal, and it was sorted very quickly. Personal favs are chicken tempura and chicken yakisoba but the menu is varied and caters for a wide range of palettes and choices. Vegetarian dishes are available, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks are available. And excellent place to eat, all in. The tables are long communal types, but generous with space and access, and baby seats are provided also should you require, so nice and child friendly too. Prices are reasonable, a meal for three with drinks will typically be in the category for the group. Portion sizes are good and food is delivered quickly. It’s a struggle to get Japanese food that’s even close to the real thing having worked in Japan, I like the cuisine. Ichiban Fusion is as close as I’ve came to Japanese food in Scotland. And excellent place to eat."

"I ordered a take-away for my family just after 5pm on Saturday evening, spending over £50. It took over 2 hours to arrive and when we unpacked it, the cartons for several dishes were less than 50% full. E.G. Beef with Pak Choi, charged at £7.95 and Crispy Seaweed £5.45 but there was literally less than half a carton. What sort of restauranteur would think it's acceptable to keep a customer waiting over 2 hours, then send out cartons that are quite clearly nowhere near a fair size portion for the price they charge? No apology, not even a few prawn crackers as a gesture to make up for the wait. Then the added insult of only enabling me to feed half my family. Needless to say I will NEVER order from Paya again and my advice to anyone else is to choose another restaurant."

"Overall just a lovely experience for two girls who hadn't seen each other for a while. The food was great! The music was really cool and our waiter ROY even took the trouble to bring us the CD to show us what it was when we complimented the music. Red Veggie Curry and what I loved best was that we could choose any extra toppings we wanted, which is very rare in a thai resto. The staff were very patient and sweet about all our questions. We will be back! My only complaints:The veggie balls which we thought were going to be like pan fried corn fritters, were a little overcooked and very deep fried. It was a shame they didn't have the red wine we actually chose the restaurant for by looking at the menu before we sat down but it turned out that the Pinot Grigio was just as good and went better with the food probably."

"I want to start by saying that we have ordered takeaways from Mama Thai for over 4 years now. We used to live nearby and, despite sometimes inconsistent quality of food, we continued to order from them even after we moved further out. We've noticed over the years that the customer service has got increasingly worse. There is a sense of complete disinterest whenever they get an order wrong/it takes twice the time promised etc. Once, when I had to go all the way back and tell them one of the dishes was wrong, the manager (who I believe most of these issues stem from) when prompted, compensated me with 20p (no joke). On a recent order, one of the dishes didn't turn up, and when we rang to ask if they could sort this they palmed off any responsibility, and told us to sort it out with the delivery company, even though it was very clearly their mistake. Not only this, but the food on many occasions has become increasingly sub standard. After 4 years of loyal service, we are sad to write this review but feel others should at least be aware of how poor this place has become. We will no longer be ordering from Mama Thai."

"Have just returned home to Westbourne having had a meal in this delightful restaurant which is Malaysian Street Food. Our son recommended it and took us tonight. It was pure delight. The menu is vast and there is definitely something for everyone and everyone's taste. My son recommended for me the Chicken soup as it is not spicy. Well it was absolutely delicious. Basically a huge bowl with pieces of soft chicken, noodles,bean sprouts, a beef pattie and vegetables in a lovely broth. It was so tasty and filling. I had started with a deep fried roti with a spicy sauce but I myself found the sauce way too hot for my palate but the roti was different. The staff were friendly and very attentive and I will definitely be going again."

"so happy to have found during my week stay in london halal koreas eating! I ordered the tofu seafood jjigae and beef bibimbap for me and had the most amazing meal I am a fan of Korean cuisine and eating in kinkao korea could not taste more authentic, homemade and tasty. the chef is really generous with the part of the seafood in the stew and the bibimbap had all the highlights of a stone pot bibibap! the fluffy short-grain rice was coupled with crispy pieces of burned rice (like the species as it should be and the sauce was made in the house and had the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and sour. all the aromas of bibimbap came together harmoniously and it was the perfect antidote...read more"

"This was our second visit to the restaurant and it will definitely not be our last. The atmosphere was great and we had lots of fun celebrating my wife's Birthday. After the meal, everyone sang Happy Birthday, and then a confetti bomb went off. The kids were given silly string to spray all over, especially my wife and me. Everyone came out laughing and talking about the experience. The food was authentic and well priced. Overall, I would give it a perfect 10 out of 10."
