For entree we tried the Lamb curry, sea bass curry, meat curry and pad Thai. They were all a hit, but the sea bass was the winner as far as we were concerned. The sauce and flavor was the perfect combination.

It's a small, family run place; the staff are generally friendly and accomodating and the food is okay but not great. The food is relatively cheap but the downside is that it also tastes it.

Not having a lot of experience with Thai food at the time (aside from a Thai curry here and there in random pubs - what's with that trend) so I was a bit sceptical. The restaurant is canteen style. Individual tables but with bright simple furniture and accent pieces on the walls. This place is busy, but not overbearingly so. They offer a take away service so there were lots of people ordering at the counter at the back to take away that Thai goodness. We started with Tempura, which was divine. Second best I've ever had after Feng Sushi on the South Bank. We also had a selection of veggie nibbles which were all really interesting. For mains I had Pad Thai and she a red Thai curry. Both were gorgeous. Large, generous portions and simply but pretty presentation. There was a lovely woman serving us. She spoke barely any English but was delightful, attentive and had a warm and welcoming smile. Safe to say she's always had good tips from us. The best thing of all was the bill. Starters, mains and drinks all at around £22. I may be cheap, but the food was not. All fantastic quality and amazing value.

The pad kee mow, or drunken noodles (which had been my choice), were fantastic and the panang was pretty special, the other dishes were also good.
