    My number one go to Thai food place! Everything was finger licking delicious! Highly recommend the mixed starter platter, paneang curry with side of coconut rice, and the apple strudel dessert. Location is amazing, for an after dinner Waterfront stroll. Restaurant is a lovely Thai theme. Service is professional, polite and helpful and they have their own car park right outside! Give it a go. You'll love it and enjoy the location!

    I have always enjoyed dining here, the starters and mains are both nice. I usually get the aromatic duck with the sauce and pancake as a starter and have tried different mains like the chicken and beef. The workers are pleasant too, there is a large indoor seating area and I have also sat outside on the waterfront which is nice when the weather isnโ€™t windy.

    My go to place, can't go wrong. Reliable, consistent, quality and great tasting food. Staff are always polite and helpful. The venue is clean, easy parking in front and you can end your evening with a Riverside walk.

    I was searching for a good Thai place for a long time. I dined here a couple of times. A great place with multiple variety of items. The food is well cooked and flavourful, and finally you can't miss the beautiful garnishing . Order some chilli oil if you want it extra hot. Ambience is great to spend a quality time with friends and family. I would highly recommend this place who wants to try out authentic food.

    The place is clean, decorations and environment was interesting and very exotic south Asian, the food is a little bit westernized Thai food (as its not as spicy) but very flavory. They have parking space which is a plus, and as itโ€™s on the River side in a residential area, the view was stunning

    This was my go-to place forever (past 5 years) I would rave about this place to all my Thai friends how the food was amazing here. Sadly last Friday the flair was a bit gone. I was genuinely craving something with pork and noticed that there was no pork and it took me longer than usual to decide what I wanted to eat. After I realised there was no pork on the menu, as I was eyeing to get something like Ko Mu Yang. I opted for the Randang curry with prawns but it was very bland. The prawns also didnโ€™t taste fresh so I left the prawns but enjoyed the rest of the soup. It could have done better with more chilli and salt. My family whom I was dining with who had dined there with me before also agreed that the overall quality of this place had gone down. Not sure if it was the fact that it was a busy night or if theyโ€™ve switched their recipes around. Also, the Thai iced tea which I always order was very watery and not as nice as before. All of my entourage agreed. A bit disappointing.

    A Nice Halal Korean Restaurant. Food was nice especially the Eel and rice. Very flavorful and fulling. The beef bowl was really delicious and cooked perfectly. I'll say the chicken wings were the only item I didn't enjoy. The flavour used was very intense and left a very bad after taste. Restaurant got a nice vibe to it and the staff were really nice. Would recommend going at least once.

    My friend reserved a table for dinner on a Friday night so didnโ€™t have to wait. Thereโ€™s service charge at this restaurant but customer service was on point as waiting staff were attentive and friendly so was worth it. Food came quick, they were cooked fresh and were delicious. Pad thai and drunken chicken noodles were our favourites. Mixed sharing platter was lovely too. Overall, a good dining experience and the view next to the restaurant is so nice! ๐Ÿ‘

    Excellent value for money in a lovely location. Staff attentive, without hovering. Food cooked to perfection and an excellent choice of dishes. Brought my son and his family here for an end of Christmas celebration, we all left delighted with the meal, even 5yo grandson. Would and have recommended

    Absolutely amazing service cannot fault any part of their food or service. Kim was an amazing host and we will be highly recommending and be back next time we are in London.

  • 5/5 Umeir B. 4 months ago on Google
    The staff are lovely and friendly. The decor is very authentic and itโ€™s cosy. The chair are comfortable and the table is quiet big too. They have a pond with koiโ€™s which enhances the atmosphere. The food was authentic and tasty. It freshly made and itโ€™s full of flavour. The waiting time wasnโ€™t bad too. The wings are Crispy and succulent. The beef curry is full of flavour and stir fried rice is perfect.

I really enjoyed the Thai Green Curry too, it was thick, creamy and spicy! Overall, a lovely afternoon spent with some very dear friends!

    An absolutely amazing hidden away gem in the heart of London with amazing river views. We all got the stir fry and it was bursting with flavour. The staff were extremely attentive and having free parking was another great feature, especially given the location.

  • 5/5 Alexandra ๏ฟฝ. 6 months ago on Google
    Massive portions, really tasty and great variety! We had dinner on the terrace with a river-side view, and the drinks were very affordable too! Quick and attentive service, would definitely come back!

  • 4/5 Najiha C. 8 months ago on Google
    Great service, staff were friendly and the decor and atmosphere was beautiful. I absolutely loved the decor and how it has kept within tradition. The mocktails and food was great; I absolutely loved the shrimp tempura starter and my Pad Kra-Pao seafood main dish. A bit disappointed that the dishes did not come with either rice or noodles, and you have to buy it separately as usually it would and especially for the price point. However, overall I had a lovely experience and I would most definitely recommend this place.

    Lovely Thai food, really loved the decorations and tables setup thought that it bought out the Thai feel to the restaurant also has outside seating area overlooking Thames river. A group of 5 of us ate here ordered Set A and Seta B menu 2 people sharing total costs ยฃ150. I would recommend ordering Set menus as it consists of several variety of starters and mains which includes duck, beef, chicken and vegetable currys.

  • 4/5 Gizzy 1 year ago on Google
    Food is really good here with generous portions. We ordered the set meal and there was plenty of food and a good selection. However service was very slow but they said they were very short staffed so would give them the benefit of the doubt and visit again one day.

  • 5/5 Shanzeh K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! Excellent food! Best Thai food I've had in a while! Upmarket and pricey, but worth it! Very very tasty. Beautiful decor. On the banks of the Thames. Indoor and outdoor seating. Halal. ยฃยฃยฃ.

  • 3/5 Syed S. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite an old school type Restuarant. Service was good, non alcoholic drinks menu quite limited. Starters were quite good, but mains were a bit disappointing. One of the main dish was warm rather than being hot. I reckon it be a nice spot in the summer, not on a miserable rainy day.
