   Very fast service once food order was placed. One of the best meals out I've had in a long time, everything cooked to perfection, would definitely go back next time we're in Edinburgh.

   My 4th visit….food still good….but service poor. I realise it was a busy Saturday night at 7pm however have enough staff rostered to cope. Staff also indifferent in their attitude to customers. A smile and hello on arrival would be a start!

   Me and my wife arrived early and noticed the restaurant was not too busy, they were able to take us straight away which was great. We choose our starters and mains, the only minor issue was my starter arrived then my wife's main, however we were sharing so this wasn't a problem for us at all. We picked Thairacha bites and Summer Rolls with prawns, both were delicious. For our mains, we shared Loaded Pad Thai and Sweet and sour chicken stir fry with rice, my wife went medium and I went spicy, the spice levels were nice and the food was piping hot, really fresh and tasty. We decided to share puddings as well, had Banana fritters and the Mochi balls, both were really nice and a lovely way to end a great meal. We had a drink each and our bill came to £65, which we thought was very good for the quality and amount of food and drink we had. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who like Thai cuisine!

   Food was lovely but no staff came near our table at all, we also had to remind them once we had finished that we were still waiting on a dish

   Not great for vegetarians. All dishes are the same. They can’t make curries vegetarian cuz the base is fish which I’ve never heard before in a Thai restaurant. I can make the food at home for much cheaper. Portions are fine, service is good, place is clean, but the food is just subpar and feels like a ripoff.

   We went here for our anniversary meal, and got very disappointed. After we got seated we waited for ages for anyone to come and ask if we are ready to order. I had to go and ask someone to attend us. When waitress came to take our order, she had to leave in between to serve someone else. Our kids were hungry, we just had to wait. After we got served, food was fine, would not complain about food, it was average. After we finished our food, we wanted to look at dessert menu, again nobody came to see if we finished our meal or we need anything. We had to ask again for someone to help us with dessert and bill.. Not a great experience

    We ordered nine items via the table ordering app, three of which turned out to be unavailable. Because we used the app, the staff were unable to process a refund.

    Worst service restaurant we have been too. We arrived there 30 min before our booking. There was no point in even booking as there was only one table occupied. The staff told us to come back in 30 minutes as the chef is very busy, we pointed out that we had a booking and there was only in table occupied. They then sat us down and we waited for 15 minutes before getting up and leaving as the staff ignored us and were just chatting amongst themselves with no tables to serve. They were all obviously on a break .. they didn’t even acknowledge us leaving and didn’t care. What’s funny is every other restaurant in the centre had cues to get in. I doubt this place will survive

    The food was okay, not very surprising but extremely small portions for the price. There are better options in the city for better value.

    They told us to change our reservation time on the day being Xmas Eve. This should have been sorted before we made our booking. There shouldn’t be availability from 5pm onwards if you wanted to close early. No toilets either. Food was okay, service was okay too. Don’t think I’ll go back though.

    Food is great. Only given 3 stars to service because when I booked a booth online in advance, on arrival they told us we can't have the booth since everyone was booking them. However, there were 2 free boots the whole time whilst we had our dinner. Not sure where the problem is - in the booking system or in the staff service.

    We had booked a table for 8 people as we were going to a show at the Edinburgh playhouse and only had a short amount of time between finishing work and the show starting. Due to an accident we were all running late but the staff were very accommodating and organised everything quickly and it was all delicious!

    My husband and I are regular customers, in fact we come atleast once every month are well recognised by the staff. The food and service is always perfect. Yesterday my husband and I came and we had our usual. I order the Thai soup and it was as usual very hot and spicy. When the broth cooled down it became very salty, maybe due to the flavours kicking in more as the temperature went cooler. I asked my husband to taste it and he said it was very salty. I told the waiter and he said he wasn't sure what he could do about it. I told him I cannot eat it anymore given how salty it was. My husband had mentioned to the waiter that we come here everytime and it's always perfect. The waiter went back with the food and spoke to the managed. We expected not pay for it all but he came back saying the best he could do was 10%. I was disappointed as we are regular customers and although myself and my husband aren't confrontational at all and felt guilty saying there was a problem, I expected a bit more understanding from the staff.

    We booked online for a friend's 50th Birthday. Jacob was our waiter and from greeting us he was very friendly and helpful. He could answer questions with regards to the menu and also following a request for a candle for our friends Birthday he did this too.

    Made reservations, which helped, but they weren't busy. Then we were left without beverages. Service was horribly SLOW; it was like you were ignored until your plate was ready. Small menu with most things unavailable. ;(

    Really enjoyed our vist, I'm wife had a Thai soup main course which was delicious ( I tried it too). I had the pad Thai loaded which again was amazing. You can choose how hot you want your dish( mild,medium and hot) and my wife and I both went medium which was spicy enough for both of us. Very friendly efficient staff. Will definitely go back there when in Edinburgh.
