About

Familiar Thai dishes like curries, pad thai, and stir fries fill the menu with big portions at budget-friendly prices. Staff are attentive and competent about identifying non-vegan ingredients such as egg and fish sauce, which helps accommodate vegan diners. While some dishes can be oily or occasionally overcooked causing mixed reviews, the venue remains popular for takeaway and solo dining with convenient wheelchair access.
