"We booked a table here for a Friday night. When we arrived, there were already 4 tables occupied, and the waitress simply said 'sit where you want '. The lighting was quite bright, and highlighted the tired decor. It was cold outside, and sleeting, so we were looking forward to a warm restaurant, but it was apparent after removing our coats, that it was almost as cold inside as out!. There were a couple of fan heaters on the floor that didn 't seem to make any difference, and no background music to soften the atmosphere. The waitress took our order, but couldn 't guarantee any of the wines on their list (which was difficult to read as something had previously been spilled on the laminated menu, blurring the text). Needless to say the bottle we ordered was not available. As we waited for our starters, the place began to fill and the tension inside began to rise, as there was only one waitress. Although she handled the situation as best as she could, with a smile on her face, it became increasingly uncomfortable, as it was evident that she was unable to manage a full restaurant on her own. Our starter arrived, and was surprisingly good. However, the main course took another good half hour to arrive and came minus the rice. Which took another ten minutes. We both had the same main course (Thai Red chicken curry) and were both equally disappointed. It lacked heat, and flavor, and was more soup than curry. By this point we decided to cut our losses and make a swift exit, as had a couple of others already realizing that they were in for a long night. The bill was £50, which is a lot of money for a particularly unpleasant experience. This place needs, more staff, some ambient lighting, some heating in the winter, some music to lighten the canteen effect, and some care and attention."

We used to come here regularly over 10 years ago and have fond memories of the choo chi goong. We weren’t disappointed it’s still a great Thai. Service was good. I note the staff have stopped wearing their ‘traditional’ uniform but the food is great so who cares.

Had a family meal for 3 on Saturday night. Got a few dishes including vegetable tempura to start and I had a lovely massaman curry. Portions were very generous, lovely tasting Thai food and will be coming back hear again. Will possibly go back and eat in as currently has a bring your own alcohol policy so great value.

Had a takeaway from here. Really expensive for the quality. The menu is very limited. No massaman beef so opted for another beef dish. Received a few strips of gristly beef with a small portion of salad costing £12! The fish dish was nice but again expensive at £14. The wait was very long, over an hour. Would not use again.

Our dishes were enjoyable and all food appears to be freshly produced. I'm sorry to say that the service is chaotic in a slightly haphazard way but charming with it . The decor is psychedelic kitsch, like a trip to your Thai granny and I think it could all do with a good dusting. However despite the wait the food is very good quality. Last time I ate a green curry this good was on the banks of the Nan river so it feels very natural and home produced View menu

We arrived for 9pm.........eft very hungry and 10.30.....short staffed meant a restaurant of empty plates and then people left including us....we did manage to get a measly portion of starters which we had between 5 of us we were starving by the time that arrived and had to leave after waiting that long. It seems they were prioritising deliveries the restaurant was full when we arrived but people started leaving en masse......terrible experience never again........

We visited on at Saturday night around 9.45 pm and were warmly greeted by one lady. However that was the last we saw of her (until the bill)and the waitress that took over was very casually dressed (track suit bottoms) and her attitude was very off hand. We ordered a vegetable and curd curry for my partner and I had a sweet and sour chicken stir fry. We also ordered drinks. Half an hour later I chased up the drinks and also requested a glass of tap water. The drinks finally appeared minus the tap water requested- which I requested again. It never arrived. The sweet and sour chicken I thought was very good but the vegetable and curd Curry was not. It is a shame that service completely spoiled...

For a while we wanted to have dinner at this place, since it appears to be packed with people when we walk passed. We reserved a table at 7:30pm for my boyfriends birthday just before Christmas. When we got in the place was empty and a bit chilly since they just started heating up the dining area. We ordered the green beef curry and the red beef curry and were served our drinks after and then our food followed. Both dishes went down excellently and we couldn’t stop eating. The food wasn’t too spicy as expected bu if you want extra it spicy you can. The small and comfy settings makes it even more pleasurable. The exterior gives a it a great ambiance. By the time we finished our plates and pay... View menu

After I saw many bad reviews this restaurant got, I decided to leave mine and I rated it with the maximum i could. I have been in there few times already and it never failed my expectations. In fact I got to eat amazing food for an incredible low price. If I wanted to go to a fancy restaurant I would not choose this one. And if you pretend to find it fancy when its not, then don't complain. its your fault not the restaurant fault. This restaurant has is own dignity and it is clean. Got to a michelin star restaurant if you want to be surrounded by luxury furniture. For the down to earth others I suggest seafood and beef, they are delicious. For the highly expectation people with lack of respe...

The food was lovely BUT the room was freezing cold. Two inefficient fan heaters sat on chairs was the only heating and delivery men were going in and out. I and many other people ate in my thick jumper and coat. There was just one girl serving and one on takeaway. She was nice enough but a bit forgetful. We had to ask for things several times. Gave up on the plates and ate the whole meal on small starter plates. It wasn’t her fault really, they were understaffed. The worse point was the very very very slow and piecemeal way the food was served. Mixed starter came and waitress said she’d brought it without the fish element as we had been waiting so long already. Twenty minutes later three pra...
