Very authentic Thai food (I lived in Thailand for a year). Not cheap, though! But the atmosphere is nice, service good - so this might be a place to take someone for a special occasion.

We were there on the evening of 18th of May. All was excellent, except maybe that the restaurant itself is a very small area, besides waitress didnt want to take an order in advance (I asked to bring after main course a tea, but she refused, asked me to repeat my choice AFTERwards as she was quite busy with many...

Enjoy the buffet for lunch time! Very good soup, starter and 3 different meals! You can also have a take away formula! Just excellent at convenient price.

My and my wife went there after reading good reviews, but we found a very unpleasant atmosphere. First of all, the waitress was very surprised when we asked for tap water: she initially pretended she didn't understand, watching us with a mixture of surprise and disgust, then she told us very rudely that we had to pay water anyway. OK,... More

The food takes me back to visiting Bangkok, with the taste and heat that makes for great Thai food. The thom kha gai is rich and creamy, the curries supremely tasty with just the right heat to make you ask for additional rice. The staff were attentive and cheerful, making the whole dining experience wonderful. Be sure to reserve as... More

I have been all over Europe & America's, and I have never had Red Curry that was this good. Super fresh, authentic, huge portions, extra rice free of charge, and an amazing presentation in a clay pot over a candle. Decor was very comfortable and clean. Get the curry with dark meat chicken...tastes like butter! Incredibly welcoming owner(s). They are... More

We found this by accident about one year ago, and they were very accommodating. They were very busy and took my number, calling my 15mins later saying they organised a table for us. It was an amazing meal- but we were so hungry that we weren't sure if that was why it tasted so good- So last night we went... More

They do a buffet for lunch, which I am normally wary of as quality is often sacrificed for quantity diner expectations. Happily, this is not the case at Ban Song Thai and the place was packed. Seafood, beef, chicken, rice, noodle, soup, vegetable, and dessert offerings all fresh and distinctive (no basic sauces used repeatedly). I like their payment system... More

As soon as you walk in this small restaurant and you see the decor you fill as you were in a small dinner in thailand. The menu is quite simple to understand and it is written in english as well. I'm a Chef and have experience in Asian food and I can tell you out of all the thai restaurants... More
