Recurring caveats in reviews
pricey for Thai food · set back from the street / easy to miss · occasional slow service and an oily dish · small dessert selection
the drunken noodles were overly oily... The dessert menu is small with just 2 optionsreviews
Mock-meat / meat-substitute dishes
Convincing mock meats — notably a 'fake beef' in the Namtok noodle soup diners found surprisingly authentic in look and texture, plus mushroom 'calamari'.

Value for money as customers see it
Food is loved but considered pricey for Thai — around £78 for three — and iced drinks feel heavy on ice.
