   10/10 Customer service was lovely. Very efficient service as well. I got the sweet and sour pork and it was the best I had ever had and I am quite the sweet and sour pork connoisseur. The pork was super crispy and the flavours were spot on. My partner got the kung pao chicken which was also tasty. The cucumber added a nice crunchy texture and freshness to it.

   The cultural décor immediately sets the tone — detailed murals depicting traditional scenes line the walls, while stunning red lanterns hang from the ceiling, casting a warm, festive glow across the room. The ambiance perfectly balances authenticity with comfort. The menu offers a range of traditional Sichuanese dishes. The dumplings, were delightfully plump with a tasty, well-seasoned filling. They arrived steaming hot and perfectly tender. The sizzling cumin lamb was beautifully cooked with just the right char and an aromatic burst of cumin. Each bite was fragrant, juicy, and full of spice. Unfortunately, a few dishes didn’t quite reach the same heights. The spring onion pancake, stir-fried pork belly, and dan dan noodles were all serviceable but unremarkable — competently made but lacking the bold punch and distinctiveness that Sichuan cuisine is known for. However, the evening’s highlight was unquestionably the beef coriander salad. It was absolutely divine — bright, fresh, and packed full of flavour. The tender slices of beef paired perfectly with the crisp coriander and a zesty dressing that made the dish sing. It was the kind of plate you’d happily order again and again. Overall, this restaurant delivers an authentic Sichuan experience with a few real triumphs — particularly the cumin lamb and the unforgettable beef coriander salad — all served in a space that celebrates Chinese artistry and culture. While not every dish dazzled, the atmosphere and standout flavours make it well worth a visit.

   Stepping into this Thai restaurant feels like entering a serene oasis. The ambiance is warm and inviting — cozy lighting, tasteful decor, and just the right background music create a perfect setting for a relaxed meal, whether you’re on a date night or enjoying dinner with family. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here. Every corner of the dining area is spotless. It’s the kind of place where you feel instantly comfortable and at ease. What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is the impeccable service. The staff are genuinely friendly, welcoming you with bright smiles and a willingness to accommodate any request. Whether you’re asking for dietary modifications or curious about a dish, they go the extra mile to ensure you’re looked after. Now, on to the highlight — the food. Simply put, it’s exquisite. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced between sweet, savory, and spicy. The Kung Pao Chicken had just the right touch of tanginess and texture with a spicy kick that warms the soul without overwhelming the palate. Even the fried rice was a delight. If you love bold flavors and authentic Thai cuisine, this place is a must-visit. Whether you’re a fan of spicy dishes or prefer milder flavors, the menu offers something for every palate, and the staff are happy to tailor the spice level to your preference. All in all, this Thai restaurant is a true culinary gem — combining an inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and truly superb food. A five-star experience from start to finish.

   Not up to their usual standard. Spicy beef noodles tasted like beef fat and witnessed the chef at the noodle station continue using chop sticks to cook after it had fallen on the floor. Otherwise service was good. Overall disappointing and wouldn't recommend any longer.

   Pork wonton soup— pork is still red and raw when served. I believe it’s frozen food not prepared properly. Mentioned this to the chef who is probably the owner too. He agrees not to charge me for this dish. However the Taiwanese girl at counter shrugged her shoulder and gave me that disgusted look.

   I tried the Dan Dan noodles. As an Asian from south east Asia, I found the food to be so-so, which is not too bad for a small town in a non-asian country. Think the chefs are from China and do not speak English. The servers could be more attentive though. The decor and ambience is nice. Seems like plenty of locals like to have social gatherings and catch ups there.
