Absolutely amazing Thai restaurant! The food is bursting with flavor and there’s something on the menu to suit every taste—whether you like it spicy or mild, you’ll find a dish you love. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get. On top of that, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended!

Set menu A was delicious. Unfortunately we couldnt finish it, it was so filling! Everything was super squeaky clean and service was friendly and attentive. Staff have clearly established the restaurant as a local favourite, and I can see why.

My first taste of Thai food that wasn’t homemade (which I never usually like due to the overpowering lemongrass flavour) but ordered a takeaway as they had great gluten free options. I never, ever usually do reviews - but this place was incredible. Friendliness, cleanliness, and the food flavours and quality. Unbelievable, it was awesome!!! Will definitely go back, thank you for the delightful food

The loveliest Thai. We’ve been here twice now. Found it by chance when we came to a family event a few months ago and came here again for our wedding anniversary. Just to eat here again. I wish I was local so I could visit more often! The food is utterly delicious and simply beautiful to look at as well as eat! The service is the smiliest and so welcoming. I can’t wait to come back again.

Exceptional Thai restaurant, food was very good, the staff were courteous and efficient, the atmosphere was calm, and the background music was gentle. Altogether a very pleasant experience. We stayed in Paignton for a week and went there twice

The chicken satay starter was the best chicken satay sticks I've ever had. The Pad Thai noodles (with chicken) was amazing. The food presentation was beautiful. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating. We were even able to book in despite them being very busy. I recommend the Thai ice tea.

It’s a small place so booking recommended. 6 of us went & enjoyed it so much we went again (during our one week stay). Staff very friendly & helpful, talking to us about the dishes & whether spicy or not etc. didn’t have to wait too long and the food was delicious. Will definitely go back next time in Paignton.

We honestly had one of the best meal, we've had in a long time. The sharing platter dumplings were something else, incredible. Food was Steaming hot, full of flavour, cooked well, loads of condiments that go with the dish. Staff were lovely, polite and the right amount of interaction. Restaurant was clean and lit well. Honestly I can't fault them. Thank for a lovely meal.

This is probably the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to, if not the best restaurant in general. The food is so flavourful, I'm literally salivating just thinking about it. We got the red, massaman, and jungle curries as well as the Pad Khee Mao noodles (I think that was the name), and all of them were sooooooo gooooood! If it seems pricey, then don't worry because the large portions make up for it. I probably wouldn't even bother getting any starters since the food is so filling. The only downside was the sticky rice, which felt like it had been made from a packet, and there wasn't much of it either. The steamed rice is much better since it looks like it is made fresh.

We were visiting the area from Birmingham. As foodies and having come back from Thailand in the last 6 months we are still thai food obsessed. We opted for the Set Menu A. The mains were all amazing but the seabass stood out on top. The pad Thai was tasty and the perfect balance and spice and sweetness. The green curry was full of chicken and veg and had a nice kick to it. Portions were good for two people. The starters were nice with the squid coming out on top. Really recommend a visit here. We paid £60.40 for the set menu, one coke and one beer. We visited early evening mid week and it had a steady flow of customers both eat in and take out.
