Always fantastic every time we go. The couple that own the restaurant are very kind and the food is always excellent. I’d recommend them for a takeaway or a dine in experience.

A Mix of Delightful Cuisine and Unfortunate ServiceI recently dined at your Thai restaurant with my parents and partner, and while the food was generally good, there are some aspects of the service that I hope you consider seriously.Starters: The calamari was fresh and crispy, although the platter for 2 felt a bit sparse with only two of each item.Mains: The steamed sea bass was exceptional. The green, red and massaman curries we sampled were good and packed quite a punch, especially the green curry. The fried rice and the late-delivered coconut rice were satisfactory, but what truly stood out was the sincere apology from the chef, who went out of his way to address the oversight.The ambiance of the restaurant was charming, seamlessly blending Thai-inspired decor with the rustic setting of an old English building. The gold bamboo-esque cutlery added a unique touch.However, the dining experience was marred by one particular staff member, presumably in a managerial role. His aggressive and hostile behaviour towards the staff was unsettling. While the wait staff were friendly and professional, this individual's conduct overshadowed the positive aspects of our visit. His actions, including snatching plates out of their hands and hissing at them, created an uncomfortable atmosphere for both patrons and staff.Constructively, I urge a thorough review of this staff member's behaviour, as it significantly impacted an otherwise decent dining experience. Encouraging and supporting the team, rather than undermining them, would undoubtedly contribute to a more enjoyable and harmonious dining atmosphere.In conclusion, we enjoyed the culinary offerings of your establishment, and the sea bass alone is worthy of a return visit. However, addressing the issues with the aggressive staff member is crucial for sustaining a positive reputation and ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all patrons.

Absolutely lovely meal,however this restaurant needs a good refurb the decor is dated and really grubby.

The thing is, when somewhere you eat seems grubby and tired, it kind of puts you off your food. Which wasn't that bad, all things considered, but c'mon, what do you expect your customers to imagine your kitchens are like when you crunch your way up the stairs to the toilets?

First time we'd experience this restaurant. Very welcoming, amazing food, great flavours, very well looked after. We will certainly return, and next time, we will want to experience a weekend atmosphere, as a little quiet last night being a Wednesday evening.

Fantastic vegetarian lunch a couple of weeks ago. Wonderful service too.Going back today?I only gave the low score for atmosphere because there was nobody in there but us. It's so good, at such a good price, I don't understand why its not packed at lunchtimes. A hidden gem indeed.

Our favourite restaurant in Ashby. Have been many times dining in and recently had takeaway. The food is consistently a high standard. Great service, friendly staff and fantastic food!

Lovely setting and atmosphere; good service. Every dish was delicious - really fresh, fragrant & lots of crisp vegetables in the curries. Will definitely be back!
Jake Samuels

By far the best dining experience in Ashby. Wonderful family run Thai Restaurant. Delicious food with great variety. Completely bent over backwards to cater for my 2 year old. Made it a very special dining experience.
Nice food. Not exactly a vegan menu but had a vegetarian one and numbers against the dish to check for allergins so that was helpful.

Absolutely delightful place! Lovely food at an incredible price, been multiple times and have always enjoyed the food. Best thai I know about!Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggi options

A regular visitor over the years whenever visiting Ashby, which admittedly isn't often. Never eaten anywhere else in Ashby because we always go there, which must say something. Food is great and great value. Only downside is diet coke is always flat...must be from a half used bottle or something? Cans would improve things on this front no end. We had standard offerings from the lunch menu...pad Thai, chicken satay red curry. All delish! Always not sure if it's open...it looks shut and dark inside when approaching despite sandwich board on pavement and open sign in window. I worry this might put people off visiting a great restaurant for lunch.
