I ate here tonight and have to say with the exception of the fishcakes and the rice it's probably the worst Thai food I've ever eaten. Although the fishcakes were OK the sauce that accompanied was over sweetened, over salted, overly acidic and inedible. The Jungle Curry I ordered for main course tasted about as Thai as minestroni soup and my plate was so dirty that I had to send it back and ask for another one.

I wish I hadn't used the toilets as they were so filthy, I felt physically ill after using them. I'm very surprised that this restaurant shows 5 Stars On The Doors for hygiene and I will be contacting the local authorities to have them re assessed at the earliest opportunity.

I gave this only one star because there wasn't an option to leave no stars at all. The staff were friendly though but the chef knows about as much about Thai flavours as your average London bus driver. If you like Thai food you will be very disappointed by this restaurant. Disgusted!

Worst Thai meal of my life I am sad to say!Staff were friendly and the place looked ok on the first glance.I had Chicken satay for starters ad it looked lovely but had absolutely no flavour - I mean - how do you manage that?My main was a duck with lychee and pineapple in coconut sauce - which I was wondering how the flavours would go together - but thought I'd be brave and order something different from my usual green curry.I wish I hadn't. Duck just did not go with the fruity flavours and was very fatty and I was not able to eat it. Coconut sauce, lychees and pineapple was lovely - but with slices of barely cooked tomato???There was none of the usual fresh spicy Thai flavours and the dish was just confused.Cleanliness was something else. I made the mistake of going to the toilets... black grime even up the walls up to a foot above the skirting and in all corners - I mean it really was worse that I have seen in the grimiest pubs in town! American couple in the next table were equally horrified by the lack of cleanliness of the toilets.Left very quickly after that. Would not recommend to anyone to eat there - I can only hope I will not be ill after this... :(

After eating here with friends i will definitely be going back. The food tasted great and i found that i wasnt feeling uncomfortable after the meal. I think we are going to go back for my friends birthday so lets hope it was as good as the last time.
