Me and my wife went here for our anniversary. Got to say we went in there blind not knowing what our choices were and made a lucky guess. Got to say we guessed perfect I had crispy squid for starter with salad and chilli sauce was amazing with a generous starter portion.
And if you like a bit spice but not too much then definitely go for the Duck Curry (as written on the menu) best meal out for a long time excellent service and nice pint of Stella. Reasonable prices also.
A great Thai in the heart of Durham. Food was excellent and good size portions. If you’re lucky you can get seating overlooking the river with the Castle up to your left. Staff were brill, lots of help with the dishes if required. It is on the river bank so could be an issue if in a wheelchair. Another restaurant to add to our must visit again list.
Good food, large portions, and polite waiters. If you are a fan of thai food, you should try them for sure. It was too sweet for my taste, but my friends enjoyed it.
The food was amazing with quite big portions me and my daughter couldn't finish it all so staff popped it in take away containers for us to take home. Staff were lovely, polite and helpful. Nice atmosphere. We finished off with an amazing special green tea. Thoroughly recommend this Thai restaurant.
The best Thai food in durham! I had chicken on toast and spicy basil! It’s was so good. I will return again for sure! The staffs were lovely.
We went to the restaurant for opening, 12pm. We were the only customers during our whole meal, so it was very quiet.
The good was very nice and full of flavour. For starters, we chose the sharing platter, which was nice. However, I believe it is overpriced for what you get on the platter. Our mains were Singapore noodles (chicken) and Weeping Tiger. The Singapore noodles were very filling and tasteful. I'd recommend trying these. The Weeping Tiger is a sirloin steak cut up on some salad. The steak was cooked well, but I was expecting a little more than steak on some lettuce leaves.
For drink, we had a glass of Sprite and a bottle of Singha beer, as the draught pumps had a gas issue, so they were off.
The premises were clean and tidy, few high-level cob webs but nothing major. Fantastic views of the castle and Durham City.
The bill came to around £62.
Had my 30th here and I was not disappointed it was an absolutely wonderful experience. It’s a lovely restaurant in a great location over looking Durham river and the decor in the restaurant is perfect. I had squid and Thai red curry exactly the same quality as in Thailand 🇹🇭 itself. Had few people with me who hadn’t had Thai food before but were won over I definitely recommend and will be back. Big shout out to staff they are very friendly and quick service. Brilliant
Great food, delicious & not overpriced. Would definitely come back. And right next to the river. If you want authentic Thai - make sure to visit this place

Food ok but not much of a Thai feel to the place. Said Hello in Thai to which they didn't understand. English pop music playing in background,not the best.
