    Another example of having an exaggerated reputation…We were attracted by the notice board outside, which stated that ‘lunch starts from £11.xx’. But after we settling down, the crew only gave you the ordinary menu. They gave us the lunch menu only after we had asked for that. The same happened to other tables too. Quality and taste of the food were fine. Dishes are localised and fusion. Not tasted bad but not impressive. We believe what you paid for went to the interior decor and the fancy bamboo baskets of the prawn crackers. There are 4 or 5 lunch set options available. All come with 3 side dishes and jasmine rice. However, the squid was just so so on the date we visited. We expected a but more rich and spicy seasonings. They need to pay attention on quality control. We order 2 coconut smoothies but one came with the sliced pineapple and the other didn’t. For Thai food, aroma and seasonings are the key. There was a hint of Asian in the food. They looked like Thai but without the Thai soul… They also don’t offer Thai special drinks which made us a bit disappointed. What a coincidence that 3 of the non-alcoholic drinks that we wanted were not available. We needed to order those drinks which are £4 or above.
