first time trying this restaurant today , very happy with the food I did take out the king prawns were the best thing I have ever tried . definitely recommend .
I can’t believe how good this place is! I tried it based on the reviews and wasn’t at all disappointed, the food was so nice, fresh and hot, and the staff couldn’t have been any more welcoming and helpful! I will definitely be returning and would advise anyone to give it a try!!!!

This is a MUST. It is literally beyond good. It’s incredible! I went there with my husband, and father-in-law. We got the Salt & Pepper Chicken, and Tom-Yum Soups. Everyone loved these, but just to note the soups were quite spicy! I ordered …
A real pleasure to eat out here
Wow first time visitors it was so nice cooked fresh & beautiful food would highly recommend it.
We’ve lived in South East Asia, and this is definitely one of the best Thai meals we’ve enjoyed outside that region. Delicious. Try it. You’ll be back; as will we! Lovely service too, and great for a show opposite. [ – Sure enough, we’ve visited again, and it was just as good! 😊] …
I have been twice in December (and two more times at the beginning of the year) , every time it’s been amazing, it’s very difficult to find such delicious food in Darlington! The service is always very friendly and attentive! Food is always exceptional, especially the rice dishes!

Super food, we got the set for 2 and some additional items, and it was more than enough food and great value. …
Not to be missed! Me and my partner had an exceptional dining experience with delicious fresh food, the type of food you would want to lick the plate if you weren’t in public. A good amount of vegan and veggie options if that’s your thing. …

Delicious thai food from a chef who doesn’t skimp on the portions (three king prawns in a tom yum soup is incredibly generous in my opinion)! The staff were very attentive and the drunken noodles satisfyingly spicy, with the three chilli …
