Review:

A former pub, the building has been tastefully and usefully converted into Reading’s newest Thai restaurant – not something the town has an abudance of.

It’s located in the centre of town, just a 3 minute walk from the train station or the Oracle riverside.

The menu offers an excellent array of traditional Thai dishes, with a starter averaging £4 and a main course between £7-11. The restaurant appears to be very popular with both business people and couples – usually a good sign. It’s rather small, making for an intimate and relaxing meal, so best to book.

The service is not the quickest and a little tricky at times – mainly due to the occasional language barrier.

If you’re looking for well priced, well prepared Thai Food then this is arguably the best Reading has to offer.
