    Fast, efficient yet friendly service. Food excellent - had a perfect prawn pad thai. Only slight gripe was how quick we were turfed out but to be fair it was a busy lunch time so most people are on a tight schedule at lunch. Plus some of our party were late which delayed our ordering. We didn't hold it against them - lovely team. I'll be back for sure!

    Warm welcome, 4 of us for lunch. There was a la carte and a set menu to choose from, but the set menu is only provided for the whole table. Luckily, the dishes on the set menu today were cashew nuts with chilli and lime leaves, a beautiful, crunchy salad, duck curry, excellent mixed vegetables in garlic and oyster sauce, plus sticky and jasmine rice. We paid a supplement for a whole sea bass, fried. Dessert was also included.
