Thai food will always be what I have whenever I am out of my home on a trip as a fussy eater. Food here was really good. I was skeptical because their menu online was from like 2years ago but I'm glad I was not disappointed. Dining in was not busy at all but I noticed they had a lot of take outs. The ambience was nice and neat. The server was polite and our food was hot and came on time. Portion was also filling. I had the special fried rice with chicken and loved it. I would have preferred if the veggies were cut smaller but it was amazing. My husband had khao sab pa rod with chicken which is basically rice with pineapple, cashew nuts and curry? I think lol. He loved it. Unfortunately I didn't take photos of the food. We forgot haha. But I have proof that we cleared the plate lol. I did take pictures of what remained when I remembered. We also had spring rolls. The spring rolls served was 3 and for drinks I had long island iced tea and he had Mai tai. They were really good. I highly recommend. It's good that it's very affordable as seen from the receipt. Service charge was applied

I would like to say we ‘chanced our arm’ after looking at some of these online reviews… but can honestly report that the food and service here are nothing short of wonderful. To start - salt and pepper chicken, prawn tempura and Duck Dumplings… duck - sensational - In one off the spoon… 🔥🫶🏽 Tempura light and crispy, allowing the juicy fresh ingredients to shine! Mains - Prawn red curry, duck red curry and Crying beef with coconut rice.. absolutely as good as on the beach in Thailand 🇹🇭 Authentic flavours - great attentive service and just exactly what I look for in a great Thai food establishment. Reasonably priced as a bonus - this will be on the list every time I come to Bristol!

We enjoyed our lunch, veg(eteri)an option for just about every dish. Dessert options very limited. Price very reasonable, especially considering the location. Parking possible but not free unless you have a blue badge. Two of the four would definitely go here again, one wouldn't mind, the fourth in the party complains about everywhere . . .

Have been long not having good Thai-dishes in Bristol. This is a REAL surprise. - Possibly the closest to the taste we had in Hong Kong or Thailand. - Great atmosphere inside, while it’s just located next to the Bristol harbour. - Great services, as usual very humble and polite Thai style :) We ordered Tom Yum (with Mushroom), Roasted Duck Spring Roll and Pad Thai (with Chicken). Love to try Thai Curry next time.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. If you’re looking for a really good Thai place I would say this has to be one of the best in Bristol. The food is really tasty and authentic.

An empty plate for me could only mean one thing. Took my family to dinner here (first time). We were greeted very pleasantly, service was excellent and food/ingredients fresh. For me personally, I would have liked more of a deeper Thai taste/flavour. But all together, it was an excellent evening dinner.

What a find this is! Genuinely some of the best Thai food I've ever had. This is a lovely restaurant with plenty of seating. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great time. We had the pork dumplings, ribs, spring rolls and calamari to start and we were not disappointed. All the mains after were fantastic. We will definitely be coming back here again. Parking isn't great here so look to get a bus or walk if you can. The toilets are up stairs, a little tired but they are clean.
