They served the massaman curry on top of a candle lit bowl to keep it warm - super cool. Some of the best massaman I've ever had and that's saying a lot as a Houstonian. My wife got the chicken pad thai and loved it. Anytime I find myself back in Banbury, I hope to spend my evening here again.

Given that they were pretty good with other dining suggestions we thought we would be good here. We dined here on a Thursday night without reservations and it appeared they were not too full when we arrived. The restaurant may be larger than what I initially saw, but we were directed to a seating area that was small and dark. In a stark contrast the other area seemed like a bright conservatory, nothing in between. Decor was nice and clean so that was a plus. Service was a little disjointed as we had 3 different people taking care of us and asking us if we wanted something to drink. Odd, but at least we weren't ignored. The reason for this review though comes down to the food. We started with some prawn crackers since they asked us if we wanted them. Then we ordered crispy duck starters. It came with some duck sauce and scallions and pancakes. The duck while ok wasn't really what I would call crispy. Given how small the portion was, wasn't sure I would consider ordering it again. We then ordered stir fried prawns and a stir fried beef dish. The sauce seemed very similar to one another. We liked that they were spicy but thats about the highlight really. We ordered rice with this entree thinking it came with, but turned out it was extra. All in all, we spent nearly £65 for this meal which is pricey given the portion sizes. Curiosity satiated - we probably won't be back.

The restaurant is located on Henley high street and is close by to pubs which is ideal for a pre dinner drink. The restaurant is small and cosy with several rooms and is authentically decorated. The menu is mouth watering and after deliberating for a while I opted for the duck spring rolls and soy sauce. A great start to the evening meal. Next up was Thai Prawn curry with Jasmine rice and I hardly muttered a word to my partner other than mouthing ummmm's and 'tasty'! All of the dishes were presented beautifully with flowers carved out of vegetables. The service was top notch, with the waiters and waitresses being attentive and friendly. I would most definitely recommend this restaurant to others, and look forward to dining there again in the near future.

I was walking through Oxford looking for something to eat when I came across this restaurant. I…read morewas craving some Thai and figured why not give it a try. The front door is interesting an has an interesting history with the building dating back to 1637. I was greeted when I walked upstairs and given a menu. I ordered Veggie Spring Rolls (Popia Tod), the Tom Ka with chicken and Pad See-Ew Noodles with chicken. It didn't take long to get my order and it was all still hot when I arrived back at my hotel. They also wrap it all quite tight so nothing spills out. The Spring Rolls weren't what I was expecting. I thought they were going to be fresh spring rolls but they are fried; it does say on the menu but I didn't read that part. It came with a plum sauce but would have been nicer with some hot mustard. Unfortunately, they do not do fresh spring rolls. The Tom Ka soup was quite good. It's a bit heavier than most Tom Ka soups I've had and I would have preferred it to be a bit spicy. The Pad See-Ew was fantastic. They serve a very generous portion and it's just delicious! And like the soup, it would be nice if it was a little spicy. I'm sure they can make it spicy if you ask them and I wish I would have asked. The food is very fresh and delicious and I would absolutely come back here.
