Second visit, and found it much better than last time. Leaving aside that it took 40 minutes before we could order (we weren't in any hurry), the fried Tofu I had with chilli, onion and tomato was good, as were the various other bits and pieces I tried. Particularly unusual was the deep fried soft shelled crab, which was a whole crab, in batter, deep fried. Which I guess is what you'd expect! The vegetable tempura was similar to last time - not at all like Japanese tempura, and wouldn't be my choice of starter. The quorn red curry which I suffered last time had gone from the menu, so that's an improvement smile Quite filling with a starter and main course, so didn't go for a sweet, though I wasn't starving to start with. Staff were friendly. Would definately visit again - particularly as it's nearby for me.

Ate here for the first time, it's been open for around a month now.

A number of items were off the menus inside (coconut rice, vegetable red curry etc) - I've heard this is because they're waiting for a permanent chef.

The service was friendly, and the prices not too bad. The vegetable "tempura" wasn't really tempura - at least not in the Japanesse style. Perhaps Thai tempura is different. This was a kind of mash of vegetables, deep fried, but without the thin crisp batter. Still, quite nice, but not what I expected.

Quorn ("quarne") and tofu are the stables of the vegi menu. I had a yellow curry with quorn, peppers and other veg - but it was a bit out of balance - very short on the peppers and veg, while containing mountains of quorn.
