It turned out to be not just the best meal of our vacation so far, but honestly some of the best Thai food I've had in a long time. The inside of the restaurant was nice and intimate and did not match the front exterior at all. Statues and nice decor all around. Once we were seated, we started with prawn crackers, spring rolls, and fried prawns, then moved on to our mains: pad prik beef, chicken pad Thai, and a vegetable red curry with sides of jasmine rice. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. I only wished they had those tiny Thai chilis in vinegar, but they did have chili oil, which was good. Service was excellent; seemed like the owner (?), chef, servers, and hosts all pitched in and helped each other, which was nice to see. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and the perfect way to wrap up our trip to Kendal.

We ate some of the best fish and chips I've had and I consider myself a chippy snob. The fish was fresh and fried once we ordered it.
