If you're a fan of "authentic" Chinese food, you're going to be disappointed, as the menu is largely made up of the usual English takeaway favourites like crispy chili beef, but if you just want some fried rice, sweet and sour pork and prawn crackers brought to your door and get change from a £10 note, then it's a good option. They do a range of excellent value set meals, all of which serve more people than they state - or maybe I just have a small appetite? Like most places, they always quote around 45 minutes delivery time, but I've rarely waited more then half an hour.

We usually order takeaway from here since the dishes are of a reasonably reliable level of quality…read more Our standard order includes egg fried rice and salt and pepper chicken wings for the kids, while the husband and I cast about the menu for favorites. Beef curry and Mongolian beef are both decent, and the Singapore noodles (vermicelli, of course, as ho fun and egg noodles are no substitute) are nice and spiced. The vegetarian crispy duck is nearly as good as the real duck, and in general both dishes are better than the versions from other restaurants. The orange chicken isn't exactly what I expected; it's more of an orange version of lemon chicken, if that makes sense. In the US, orange beef is a standard dish, where the breading is cornstarch and very crispy, with a subtle orange glaze that doesn't soften the breading. New Winner's version is doused in sauce so the breading had nearly disintegrated; the kids didn't care though and ate it just fine :) Prices are reasonable. You can feed a family of four on 15 quid.

Nonetheless the girl here was really friendly the food was perfectly fine and the prices are beyond reasonable. I love finding places off the tourist radar.

What a pleasant surprise - there were highs and lows throughout the evening BUT both my friend and…read moremyself left with smiles on our faces and very full tummies and that's why I've given it a 4 star... I LOVE Thai food and when I saw a 4.5* spot just round the corner called Thailand, it just had to be investigated! We arrived and straight away noticed the great offer of a 3 course meal and a glass of wine for just £12.95 served throughout the week. Impressive! We were feeling flush and decided to choose off the a la carte menu but I'd definitely return to give the offer a whirl. We chose to share the mixed starter, and the crispy duck and pancakes to start, and then chicken penang, prawn pad thai and sticky rice for mains. Service throughout was polite and well timed, our waitress was in fact the owners daughter and shared some stories about her father and the two restaurants they own. She was wonderful! Now to the food - the mixed starter was a bit of a disappointment, there was just way too much deep fried vegetables rather than the good quality products like chicken satay and prawn toast. We actually had to leave the majority which was a shame. Now to the duck... NOM. Perfectly cooked and crispy, plenty of pancakes to share, plum sauce think a flavoursome and when put together with cucumber and spring onion, just perfection! Now to the best part - their Thai food is authentic, packed with a punch and truly delicious! The pad Thai had lots of large and juicy king prawns, the Penang was in a thick and creamy sauce - the best I'd ever had! All I will say is we would have like a little more veg (in both dishes) but this didn't take away from flavours of food, really great quality food! We really did enjoy the evening and we'll definitely be back for another girlie night soon! Highly recommended if in the area and a lover of Thai!

It's definitely one of those places you need to know about as you are highly unlikely to come across it by accident. The restaurant itself is basically a large conservatory with chunky wooden furnishings and is decorated with a nice variety of Thai artefacts. The staff are all very welcoming and pleased to offer advice if it's needed. I have lost count of the number of times I have dined here with B and friends over the past few years; it's a local favourite and can be relied on to serve up a tasty Thai feast whenever you feel the need for some spicy comfort food without breaking the bank. We kicked off with our usual starter of the Jasmine Platter which was a nice selection of Thai favourites. Our guest Patrick had the Tom Woon soup which came with plenty of well flavoured chicken. For the mains we had a masaman curry, chicken panang and my personal favourite the tamarind duck which is a sliced breast sitting on a bed of seaweed with a very tasty sweet and sour sauce. There is a small reasonably priced wine list or you can order beer or larger from the pub and have it brought through. It gets very popular with the locals here at the weekend so I would recommend booking in advance. We tumbled out into the chilly night air well satisfied with the way we had kicked off 2011.

The food is pretty average yet pricey (Chicken Pad Thai £9, Massaman curry £11) This review is as a result of a few visits so not just one bad experience, the Thai fishcakes could be bounced, the prawns have a terrible flavour to them and the house wines are horrific. If you are on the Isle of Dogs and looking for Thai then go to Nakhon Thai down the road. The prices are roughly the same but the result is much better quality.

I tried their rare beef pho, and my partner, their chargrilled pork vermicelli and salad, which he loved. We shared a plate of the prawn roll to start with. Nicely presented and tasty flavours. The dipping sauce was different, more plum than peanut. My bowl of rare beef pho came with plentiful fresh pho, no skimping here, that it's never enough. The broth was hot and tasty, how it should be too. To accompany it was a side of bean sprouts, thai basil, a lime wedge and sliced jalapenos if you like it spicier! The rare beef was lovely and tender. A very satisfying meal, and definitely will return, especially, I see they have live lobsters on the menu, and seems to be their speciality. On this occasion, we did nor order it, as we only had a limited time for our meal, it would be too short to enjoy and savour the lobster, so will return!

The dish was overwhelmingly salty, to the point where I just ate all the beef strips and left everything else. I highly do not recommend. As for the other dishes, my friends seemed to enjoy it, so if I do come back I will try the other stuff.

My food came out very fast, like I was looking over the menu again and by the time I finish, my food was out. They give you a good portion of noodles and also beef. I added some Sriracha to add some spice to it. The soda is in a can so no refills. I thought the black pepper steak was delicious. I would highly recommend that dish here.

Well we didn't have the best start when walking in....instead of someone greeting us they just kept staring and then a few minutes later someone came over and said hi how are we. Very strange but we were taking to a table. Once at the table we had to then again ask for menus. Menus came and a waiter comes over to ask what do we want to drink. I asked if we could have a second due to just receiving the menus. Fast forward to my friend being disappointed by them realizing that the menu seemed very truncated. Once the waiter came back they mentioned that and the waiter stated it was because a big event was happening. Alright fast forward again to ordering and honestly I was struggling trying to find something to get since they only had one option that wasn't meat available. So I ordered the veggie curry and added prawns and my friend decided to do the same. First they stated they couldn't do that then when I stayed it's just being added, he accepted. The food came and was extremely lack luster. I was really disappointed. What made it all worst is, for two drinks, two curry's and a side of calamari, the bill came to $98. For having food that isn't satisfying, I was floored. To make matters worst even though I didn't state it, our waiter wasn't really attentive at all. We wanted water, needed some napkins, needed to go containers, and had some questions but I had to go over to the desk twice to get his attention. Wasn't the best experience and my poor friend was gutted that this happened. All in all, I would not come back ever with the regular menu. Overpriced with subpar food and employees .
