Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the yellow curry, often praising it as the best they've ever tasted. The combination with coconut rice creates a dish that's hard to beat.
The starters, especially the soup and salt & pepper calamari, receive special mentions, consistently impressing first-time visitors and regulars alike.
The restaurant's welcoming atmosphere makes each dining experience enjoyable. The quick service and friendly staff amplify the appeal, ensuring that even during busy hours, patrons feel attended to.
Many love the BYOB option, which, combined with reasonable corkage fees, creates a relaxed dining experience. A quick trip across the street for a favorite drink can complement the flavorful food perfectly.
Most Disliked
Some diners have noted that prices have increased over time. While still reasonable, this may surprise those who remember previous cost points.
The compact seating arrangement can feel cramped, especially during busy evenings, leading to a less-than-ideal dining experience for larger groups.
A few patrons wish for a broader selection of desserts on the menu. Although the offerings satisfy, more options would make a treat after a delicious meal just that much sweeter.
Occasionally, the restaurant's popularity means it can be difficult to secure a table on short notice, especially without a reservation.

THE BEST THAI I’VE EVER HAD !!! Whether you’re a Torbay local or fancy a trip down to the bay - you have to stop off here for dinner. It’s a lovely little restaurant tucked away in Preston, has a really homely authentic feel - apparently they’ve been here for 30 odd years! But the food my god!!! Genuinely unbelievable - couldn’t fault any of it, despite the huge array of dishes we had. The highlight for me was the yellow curry with their coconut rice… it’s possibly the best thing i’ve ever put in my mouth. Also special mention for the starters, particularly the soup (a must try) and the salt & pepper calamari. The ladies in there were so lovely and welcoming, food was really quick to come out and so so tasty! Note: it is BYOB - there’s a tesco just opposite, but they do have water and soft drinks I think. They also do takeaway (which was very popular).

Came here for evening meal as it was recommended - and it was really super… Very nice to see an open kitchen with everything in excellent order and cleanliness. Just a few tables and always busy with a lovely atmosphere. Bring your own alcohol is also great. A good choice of dishes and all the ones we had were excellent both in quality and quantity. Total cost came to <£60 for 3 for 2 courses - very reasonable….Fully recommend

OK. I'm really fussy with food. Last night as 8 of us cramped in here, it was so worth the wait. Num tuck (or how ever you spell it). Was the best beef I had ever had and the taste was out of this world. I love Thai, it's up there you know. But everything was done to perfection. I will be coming back, again and again and again !!!! £1 corkage to bring ur own drinks too. Lovely time .
