Description: The intended theme here is fresh and authentic. We can vouch for fresh, at least as far as the vegetables are concerned. As for authentic, although we've not made it to Thailand, we would venture that curry sauces should not need to contain soya sauce.
On this occasion, we began with the fresh shrimp rolls, which really are fresh and full of vegetables. The peanut dipping sauce contains soya sauce, so the GF eater can opt for the far too salty fish sauce. Previously, we have had the mango and papaya salad, which was fresh and spicy hot. For the main, we shared the basil chicken in a spicy sauce and the shrimp with peanuts. Apart from the basil, these sauces appeared to be the same, although they were good. The only vegetables included were peppers and onions, and the dishes might have been a little oilier than previous. We had considered other options, such as a curry or a sweet and sour sauce, but these were wheat containing.
Service is fast enough, although they may be getting busier with take-out. They seemed a little harried, but the chef, Celine Sharma, is always very friendly and enthusiastic. The restaurant itself is diner casual, with pictures of menu items and scenes of Thailand on the walls.
