Wanted to visit the restaurant for dinner with my wife on Saturday night. Place was beautiful. Clearly a family owned afair and someone had put alot of effort into the decore. Food smelt great on arrival. I appreciate we hadn't booked a table and was just a walk in, however they had 3 other tables filled with guests likely totaling 13 people across the entire restaurant. I went in and waited to be seated in the desigbated spot. When I first went in, the large chap with curly hair at the front desk was on the phone taking a deliver order and made it pretty clear he wasn't going to look at me at all or acknowledge that I was waiting. I didn't mind this particularly at first so I gave the benefit of doubt and waited patiently for about 5 min whilst the host completed the phone call. Once he had finished on the phone. He remained adiment he was still not going to acknowledge me or look in my direction whilst he shuffled papers around on the desk and had a personal conversation with another staff member. Another 5 minutes passed like this, so I'd effectively stood like a lemon for 10 minutes without anyone welcoming me, giving a gesture to acknowledge I was waiting to be seated, or in general caring at all that I was there.At this point I felt a bit insulted so I left without buying anything.Overall this chap was really really rude and i will not be back, which is a disappointment because I was really looking forwards to eating there.

7.30pm on a Friday evening we were one of two tables of two, food was lovely except the medium steak was over cooked and quite await. The atmosphere was none existent which is quite disappointing and although the restaurant was practically empty we were given a tablenext to the open kitchen door next to theWhen orderingbar ( which was having a deep clean so the area was very cluttered) even though plenty of free tables in the front area of restaurant. When ordering our drinks one of us ordered a larger we were informed bottles great, however what came was a can of larger half poured with an ice cream like head into a glass to then find we were charged £4.50 for a can of Carling.Such a shame this was our third visit in a year food is lovely but customer service really lets this down, and the atmosphere could be amazing as parts of the restaurant are quite modern but at present all feels a little half hearted measures.

I have given the restaurant 3 stars for the excessively long time it took to get our meals. We booked our table for 7.15 but our main meal did not come out until gone 9pm. We were only advised almost 90mins after arriving that one of our choices was off the menu. The only other table was 10/12 people which seemed to be the excuse for the delay.All this said, the food was very good and if we could be guaranteed a more acceptable service on a next visit I would happily give more stars.Parking: 4 plus spaces

Really can't fault the food. Starters of vegetables tempura and corn cakes, followed by stir fried vegetables and prawn masaman (medium heat), all were great.Staff were friendly and normal chef Bee was being helped by her mum and dad, which was lovely to see.Being served by a ROBOT added to the evening.(Probably will go fiery on the heat level next visit)

The food and drinks were really good and the service was excellent. Certainly worth a visit for an authentic Thai meal.Parking: There's a free car park at the restaurant and also free on-street parking.

Well...I think that this eatery comes under the title "interesting"!The food was of good quality and the staff were friendly and attentive. It wasn't busy.The place is an interesting mix of decor with modern architecture and (obviously) a Thai theme but I feel that it was a little luttlered with other "stuff". I'm no designer, but it just felt a little odd.Covid is done with now, and I would have liked to have seen all of the "keep your distance or you're going to die" signs removed. let's move on. it's actually a little unsettling.No spoilers intended, but wait until you meet the robot waiter! Not sure of the point, but it gets a lot of phone movies made of it!

The prawn dish was OK, no more but the vegetarian dish was chicken! It was also greasy and watery - went straight in the bin. We didn't feel like driving to take it back as it was meant to be a treat after a long, hard day. Expensive mistake, won't try it again.

If you're debating Thai food or not, let this place make that decision for you. It's fantastic. Large selection of options available, including vegetarian and vegan options, as well as the option to choose your spice level. The staff were lovely and helpful with reccomendations and the atmosphere was really relaxed. Would absolutely reccomend! (Cool little robot works there too!)

felt for the staff at front of house, clearly given too much to do - for one person- in terms of greeting, phone, serving, drinks and takeaways. Despite this, more training required and evidently struggled with the basics. i didn’t particularly enjoy the food, perhaps they had a bad day. Would recommend use of birdseye chillis and genuinely make things spicy which claim to be so. The other reviews suggest i was either unlucky or questionable tastes of the local population

Really delicious meal. The chef Bee previously worked for 5 years as head chef at a famous thai hotel/restaurant in the south, the Crazy Bear at Stadhampton, so she knows her stuff.The food was SO delicious and in generous portions. Fantastic choice of dishes on the menu - dont only expect what's on the website, there is so much more.We had mixed starter platters and dumplings, then a green chicken curry, duck with tamarind sauce, seafood pad cha, duck penang curry, and chicken pineapple fried rice (an adult fried rice dish for the child on the table, who doesnt eat spices)Theres lots of choice of spicy/not spicy food, and some dishes can be ordered mild/fairly hot/spicy - i went fairly on my penang, and it was still quite spicy. Should have gone mild really ? All the dishes were really flavourful and cooked perfectly.The delivery cat bot is a lot of fun too

Very nice Thai food. Stick to the mains. The Seabass dish and panag curry was delicious. Has a funky robot that brings your food out

Nice venue but overpriced given the quality of the food. I get inflation but £100 for 2 adults and 2 small children without desserts and alcoholic drinks is a lot (the online menu prices need updating). We waited a long for the mains given that the restaurant was empty and when we got home we all had bad guts. Shame because we was initially impressed with with place.

Really enjoyed our meal there yesterday. Wide ranging menu lovely fresh veg and great flavours..we had a robot serve the food which kids would love..I am an older person so found it bit noisy. Great value . Veggie and vegan options. We are Londoners and pleasantly surprised how good this was..Kid-friendliness: Robot served foodParking: Plenty of free parking

What a wonderful little hidden gem!This restaurant is a short walk from the centre of town. Inside it has beautiful decor...service was very good and the food was excellent. Portions were more than enough and the cherry on top was the little cat robot waiter! We will absolutely be making this one of our regular spots and would highly recommend for a lovely meal and setting.
