Dropped in yesterday for a snack and ordered the prawns and pork with crispy seaweed. Very nice, and friendly service. Also had the mixed ice cream (coconut, ginger, chocolate) plus the Thai coffee, which I enjoyed also...

Super fast service and the food was nice and hot. Red curry worth a try.

I'm not normally a fan of Thai food, however, whenever I'm in Basingstoke for work, I always end up here! Reasonably priced, fantastic flavour and good sized portions. Excellent!

The food here is delicious! Eaten in and had a take away several times and the food never fails to disappoint full of flavour and a large menu to choose from. The restaurant itself is very quirky and rustic, but I like it and the staff are all lovely. Cannot recommend highly enough!
