Came here on recommendation of a close friend. It was a nice, clean and cozy cafe. Owners seemed very genuine and accommodating. Food was on point! Literally ate everything off my plate and they were generous portions. Will frequent when I’m in the area as I’ve really enjoyed it.

I came here for a friend's birthday and bought some Thai noodles and a hot chocolate, the service was excellent and the food was delicious, we also got a free plate of chips on the house. When we were doing the cake one of the waiters gave us a lighter to light the candles and sparklers on the cake, and all the people there joined in when we sung happy birthday.

Lovely little place! We’ve been wanting to visit for a while, and it did not disappoint! Food was so tasty we ordered; Thai milk tea, Tom Yum (prawn) and Teriyaki Chicken Katsu), the portion sizes are perfect, staff are also really lovely! Would love to see some ramen dishes on the specials board, we will definitely be back thank you!

The authentic Tom Yum soup is memorable and the Thai fried noodles are very delicious. It is worth coming back to try the rest of the dishes.
