"We enjoy Thai cuisine, so we decided to try this restaurant based on its generally good reviews. However, the ambiance was lacking with bright lighting and melamine tables adorned with Thai-style runners. I ordered a glass of house white wine, which had a strange aftertaste and wasn't very enjoyable. My husband requested a half pint of Tiger beer, but they mistakenly brought a pint that had to be returned. Our main dishes, a Massaman curry with salmon for me and a prawn red curry for my husband, ended up tasting almost identical and not very pleasant. My curry was overly sweet and contained large slices of potatoes, which seemed unusual for a Thai dish, along with a few tomatoes. Overall, we were disappointed with the experience and won't be returning to this restaurant."

Absolutely awful food. Cold dry chicken satay. Something that was supposed to be a Massaman curry terrible. Even my drink was flat

Pleasantly surprised to find a good Thai spot in the shetlands. Hit the spot after one too many nights of pub food on my way through Scotland

The food was very good and quickly served. The restaurant was lightly attended but no one seemed in a hurry. Would definitely return ... Arthur

I had a delicious meal at a reasonable price. The restaurant was warm and inviting, and I will definitely go back. It is one of the few Thai restaurants in Shetland. View menu

Absolutely delicious, would highly recommend. The staff helped advise us with the best food to our tastes which was phenomenal. If you find yourself in Lerwick make sure you find this fine establishment.

We both started with hot and sour soup and then had a vegan stir fry and a chicken red curry, all full of flavour, washed down with a decent bottle of wine. Good price, a bit basic room and decor, but the food was excellent. View menu

We went as part of a group who had booked the upstairs room. The restaurant knew over a week before we arrived. There was a long wait for starters which were served in dribs and drabs. The staff were not organised came out carrying a plate then went back for another. The main courses were A,B,C,D and totally chaotic. None of the food was served together, food was cold and we never got our rice.We left before some even got their food. Totally unapologetic and still charged the full amount. Customer service not good. The staff need better training and when we left there were several tables downstairs. They took on too much and didn't deliver. An expensive waste of money.

If you enjoy Thai cuisine, then this restaurant in Lerwick is a great choice. The interior is very clean, and the staff are courteous and friendly. The menu offers a good selection of dishes that are not too spicy, making it ideal for those new to Thai food. However, as seasoned Thai eaters, we found the dishes to be somewhat underspiced. The Thai fish cakes were tasty but lacked spice, and the cold chicken satay was a bit unusual. On the other hand, the chicken massaman and sirloin steak choo chee were very good, although still slightly underspiced. The restaurant is popular with locals and also offers a good takeout option. It is worth noting that they are open on Mondays, which is a rare...

"We had a meal last Friday at the steak house in town, and didn’t have a good experience. I left a detailed review on their Facebook page to warn others about it and it appears it’s gone! Can’t see how that’s fair as it was...a fair warning to anyone going. Makes me wonder how many bad reviews have been removed. Would give a lot fairer outlook and how overpriced and unprofessional they are! This wouldn’t be as bad if it hadn’t cost so much, as I’d happily pay for a brilliant meal, but the fact this is a steak house with high prices, you expect a certain standard. In brief, Aimees steak was well over cooked, so told the waiter, who comes back and claims the steak continues to cook after it’s been rested!!! Hillarious that the chef thought that was true, being a steak house they need to be nailing every steak perfect especially at their prices! So anyway, told the waiter that wasn’t the case and I’m well experienced in cooking steak, but he claimed that was still the fact. And instead of discounting our meal for aimees half eaten steak, they offered a free drink! Also the seafood we had with it was over cooked and dry, muscled were terrible, as was the langoustines, and tasteless. Didn’t get any recompense for that. My meal was fine, I had a ribeye and was cooked bang on, maybe ribeyes don’t cook themselves after they’ve been rested And as for charging each for their sides, on top of their expensive meal, bit of a **** take! And one of Aimees gins was advertised contained ginger fever tree and was to cost but they added the mixer on top of the And then on our way out, after I grudgingly paid for the meal (which wouldn’t be that bad if it was a nice dining experience), a member of the kitchen staff looked Aimee up and down in disgust, obviously annoyed at HER for HIM doing a poor job of cooking the food. We will never be back and if they’re deleting reviews, they could be a lot worse as just this experience. Edit: I’d like to point out I put this review on the page to warn others and also allow the business to take some criticism, the customer is always right and all that. Removing the review has just annoyed me, that’s why I’ve made this post."
