Our meals where without doubt the best Thai food we have ever had. From May who was very friendly and explained various dishes to help us decide ,to the cook who will cook your dish/so totally to your needs. The food was very tasty , hot and portions were more than sufficient. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you May and your staff

We are lucky to eat here often . The food is amazing , service so good and the staff so helpful in your choices . Best to book in advance as gets extremely busy. Be prepared to wait if busy as they work out of a tiny kitchen . Definitely worth the wait though .

Was made aware of this little gem a few months ago and having lived 10 miles away for a few decades was upset I hadn't gone sooner! Amazing food, lovely people, very welcoming. Highly recommend!!

Amazing, such a wonderful dining experience. The lady running the restaurant is so elegant and beautiful in mannerisms and style. The food was delicious, and she guides you very nicely to what she may think you enjoy. Good large selection of drinks from around the world (helps being part pub!) The toilets are a bit strange and could do with a redo, but not bad at all.

The food here is delicious and would highly recommend it. The menu choice is extensive The portions are more than adequate. The food is fresh and cooked to order by the nice lady chef, how she produces such a variety of lovely food in such a small kitchen amazed me. We went twice to eat there over 3 days whilst in the area.

Truly an outstanding experience. Staff incredibly helpful and food is amazing. Had them as a takeaway as well as dined in today. The effort and authenticity into the food was commendable. Would highly recommend and seems to be a hidden gem here.

This is definitely the best food we have eaten in Dereham/Fakenham. The food was absolutely amazing and I recommend that you go there and try it because you won't be sorry. The staff are lovely too. The only thing I would suggest is that it would be really nice to try some authentic desserts. The decor was lovely and the tables were lovely too. We came here for my mum's birthday and it was divine. All the prices were as you would expect and totally worth it. We starters of the steamed thai dim sum and tempura prawns. Mains we had the sizzling pork medallions and the sizzling mixed seafood and the crispy fried duck. The sizzling dishes were actually sizzling on arrival, it was amazing.
