It's excellent food, it's good portions and it's a fair price too at this town centre place. I called on spec and ordered when I got there.
One starter, and 2 mains with a boiled and a fried rice - £18.20. It took 20 minutes as they deservedly were very busy.
Although it's advertised as Thai it also offers a limited Chinese food selection and my starter was more of nod to Chinese: 6 wonderfully good, steamed, minced pork and prawn wantons with a soy based dipping sauce.
I got a vegetarian Thai red curry and it too was delicious with just the right amount of spice heat for me. Soi 9 in Newry is a better dish (only as it has potato & tofu included too) but they won't compromise on spice heat and I find their spice heat is the wrong side of pleasant for me.
I also got a sweet & sour chicken for my wife - she's not a big a Thai fan - and it was actual, proper sweet & sour sauce with a generous amount of red pepper and while you may ask 'so what' it's very hard to find decent sweet & sour in Newry. It's been so long since we've had decent Chinese food.
Better still the chicken was only chicken - no batter in sight - and the delightful fried rice wasn't over glugged with cheap, nasty chemical soy sauce as it is in most Newry takeouts.
There's a simple fact and message here - if you want quite good take out Chinese food (or fish & chips for that matter) then don't bother at all with Newry as the Chinese takeaways here are just barely mediocre at best and all are insultingly overpriced to make a very bad situation much worse and the cut for JustEat has to be added too.
If you want good value Thai then it's this place. Yes it's a way to go for it but as it offers some good Chinese food too it's worth it for me as I'm really so sick of overpaying for crap Chinese food and I'm not overly enamoured subsidising the JustEat racket.
New year and I'm still a grumpy beggar. read more
