We went for a friends birthday. I booked in advance and got money off the meal using the Big Invitation discount voucher. The moment you walked in you knew you were in for a treat. The look and feel has a mix of styles, beautiful wooden carved furniture mixed with an amazing assortment of real and plastic plants but somehow it works beautifully. We went on a very busy Saturday night but the staff were polite and never made you feel rushed. As we heard so much praise for their seafood selection we opted for something we don't normally choose. We decided to share a fish platter and my goodness it was exactly what it said! The food was beautiful if a tad repetitive you can only eat so many mussels in one setting! The food is displayed beautifully and the selection of vegetables, rice etc are the perfect compliment to the main. We thouroughly enjoyed our dish. By the time we got to the legendary deserts trolly we were both full, but we still crammed more tasty treats in - I had a gorgeous ginger cheesecake which was wonderful. I would definately go back again just this time we'll opt for anything but more fish!

Thai food at it's best 3rd September 2008

We went here for a special occasion and really had a good time. All the food is delicious but the desserts deserve a special mention. The waiter pushes a trolley over with a huge array of deserts and there is something for everyone's tastes. My husband actually had a desert which is extremely unusual so it shows just how tantelising they were!


If you like going somewhere where you'll be treated like a VIP then this is the place to go. Your chair is pulled out for you, they let you sample your wine before purchase etc. All the things you would expect in most establishments but rarely get! The waiters can't do enough for you.

It is a little pricy but well worth the money for such a good night out.

Not bad 8th August 2008

I went there early on a Saturday evening. No buffet then (thank goodness!) and the normal a la carte menu is fine. Evening ruined slightly by me forgetting important medication and having to dash home and back in a cab which meant my food was waiting on the table for me when I got back - but that's not their fault! I don't normally like Thai food, too much coconut for my taste, but I enjoyed my meal here. And the sweet trolley has to be seen to be believed!

Tasty Thai Treat 5th April 2008

Not a bad Thai, basically. We went there for a business lunch and they do a great tasty buffet; yum. All the trimmings - just about everything - special note goes to the thai green curry and fish dishes.

Beautifully decorated and a fun place to go.

It's quick and easy really, thats the good thing about it. And good value.
