“ Went as part of the local restaurant week and had a really decent meal here. We went for the mixed platter to start and then the main course was the butterfly prawn pad thai which was very impressive , will be coming back to try a regular meal ”
“ We had such a beautiful dinner! Everything tasted incredible, the quality of food and drink was fantastic and all staff were lovely. It’s such a shame in the Aberdeen scene right now. Restaurants like this should be thriving but there was only one other table while we were in. We made no request for anything special as it was my 21st birthday, but still the staff brought out a cake with a candle and sang happy birthday to me. This completely surprised our whole table and was honestly such a lovely gesture. I really hope to be back soon. ”
“ Food was really nice. Enjoyed everything we had . The ambience is great and staff are friendly. Ordered a cocktail and the staff was honest enough to let me know the guy who made it was out sick and this was just a temp. Made sure I was aware I might not be getting the best and I had the options of wines and spirits instead. Really thoughtful. Ended up getting the cocktail and the temp did real good too. The only thing is that price point is a tad bit on the high side. ”
“ Myself and my husband had a meal in here when we were visiting Aberdeen. We love Thai food. We ordered our starters and mains, my main was grilled sirloin steak with vegetables , I asked for it well done and without chilli sauce, I was not offered an alternative sauce. The starters were lovely no problems. My main came and was like chewing leather and very, very dry. I could not finish it. It was terrible I told the waitress but she only said she would tell the chef. The meal came to almost 80 and I was not offered a discount for my meal being unedible . Nice surroundings, quick service but disappointing food. ”
“ We noticed this newly opened Thai restaurant on Union Street and decided to try it out. There was a 2 course menu for 10 that looked to be good value so had ordered from that. The restaurant was spacious and clean. The staff were attentive with quick service. The food was delicious, fresh, cooked well and portions were good sized so you'll leave here quite full! All in all a great experience and I would happily come back here again. ”
“ Best Thai food in Aberdeen! Everything we ordered was delicious, from the duck to the pad Thai butterfly prawns, we loved it! Would recommend to anyone ”
“ First impressions walking in was that the restaurant was beautifully decorated. The menu is a good size and we went for the mixed platter to start, which was an excellent choice. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Our food was exceptional, which is a rarity these days. Overall one of the best places I've eaten at in Aberdeen and I will be back again. ”
