My 3rd or 4th visit to this local Thai restaurant but the first in several years and I must say that whilst I had mixed feelings on the flavour of the food the first couple of visits, I must say, I was pleasantly corrected on this most recent visit. The service has always been friendly, welcoming and helpful and the interiors are a little in need of a touch up, but then this is not a restaurant you go to for fancy interiors or fine dining. This is about hearty, homemade Thai food that's comforting, filling and satisfying. 

Aside from the range of expected features on the menu such as green and red curries and Pad Thai, they also have a list of specials and I was glad to have chosen from the specials this time with a Thai version of a sweet and sour dish, coming with a choice of different meats, fish or prawn as well as a range of vegetables and pineapple. I opted for prawn and they make a point of mentioning on the menu that the Thai sweet and sour dishes are quite different to Chinese style sweet and sour. And different it is. I'm not normally a fan of sweet and sour in Chinese dishes but I did enjoy the sweetness of it,  particularly after we'd finished the savoury prawn crackers quicker than the speed of light after a very long working week.

Husband ordered two small starters instead, including friend spring rolls and fish cakes. The fish cakes were tender, well seasoned and worked well with the dipping sauce they came with and he spoke highly of the spring rolls.

There aren't many options for Thai food in this area but this restaurant has been around for years and when I revisited this time, I could see why. It's reliable, simple but well-made Thai food and I would happily return next time I'm in need of an easy, fuss-free, hearty Thai meal.

Great Thai restaurant. Good authentic food. Unpretentious restaurant
