Very dissapointed. Usually very good. This time no chicken in the kung po. No taste. Not worth the £40. Not using again. Been using for years and quality and food gone downhill.

Lovely Chinese/Thai restaurant. My first time here, would definitely go again. We had sweet bread for starter, with chilli sauce. What can I say this was the most delicious bread I've ever ha!. Why do other restaurants not do them! We had the Prawns wrapped in filo pastry with chilli sauce. Black bean beef, 🥚 fried rice, sticky rice and pork loinYou won't be disappointed if you eat here, the chairs are comfortable, the are toilets clean. Everything is as a restaurant should be exceptional and not over priced with the waitress double checked our order, overall very efficient and pleasant staff.5 ⭐ from me👍🏽

Stumbled upon this place on my first night in a new home and it was such a wonderful find. Welcoming staff, the freshest most delicious food with an excellent selection of both Chinese and Thai dishes. I took a menu and will definitely be ordering here and bringing friends here again.

This is our treat takeaway as rather pricey but normally delicious. However last night was awful, the lemon chicken was burnt and a tiny portion, should never have been sent out and the chicken balls tasted old, so dissapointed and the total order being £50 was not good and from order to delivery took over 2 hours, did call re time scale, no apology they seemed extremely busy which I get, but every customer should be treated well l, wont be going back 😢

Really poor experience with this take away. We pre ordered our takeaway at 4pm to arrive at 7:30pm. It did not arrive on time. After 12 calls, at 8pm, I finally got through to the elephant and the lady on the phone apologised and blamed their online booking system - saying that they have no control of the number of bookings that are made. She then hung up on me before I had a chance to talk to her. I had to call her back to get information about when our food would be arriving. Our food finally arrived shortly after 8:30pm - an hour late! The food was ok, average, but the order was wrong in some places. Really poor service, average food. We will not be ordering from them again.

Had dinner here last week and the service & food were amazing. Ambiance is really nice too. Definitely exceeded my expectations ! Ideal for Date Nights, Birthdays or just to have a really good dinner. 2 Starters, 2 Meals & a bottle of wine came up to about £60.

Visiting for the first time for my fiancée's birthday. The table service was prompt and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious! The servings were more than ample, had to get some out into take away containers as we couldn't eat it all. Over all the price was average £20 per head including drinks. Overall a really good night out well worth a visit.We will use them for take away and will edit review then to reflect this.

Went on a weekday so even though we’d booked, it was very quiet- only 3 other tables.Food was excellent and I’ve had a takeaway from here before so I knew portions were big.There’s no parking which is a problem during bad weather.The only thing that spoiled it for me that even though it’s a large restaurant- they put us next to a group of rowdy men. It made conversation hard. But I’ve noticed restaurants do group people together for ease of service.I’d go again.
