The chicken satay starter was the best chicken satay sticks I've ever had. The Pad Thai noodles (with chicken) was amazing. The food presentation was beautiful. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating. We were even able to book in despite them being very busy. I recommend the Thai ice tea.

We honestly had one of the best meal, we've had in a long time. The sharing platter dumplings were something else, incredible. Food was Steaming hot, full of flavour, cooked well, loads of condiments that go with the dish. Staff were lovely, polite and the right amount of interaction.Restaurant was clean and lit well.Honestly I can't fault them. Thank for a lovely meal.

The loveliest Thai. We’ve been here twice now. Found it by chance when we came to a family event a few months ago and came here again for our wedding anniversary. Just to eat here again. I wish I was local so I could visit more often! The food is utterly delicious and simply beautiful to look at as well as eat! The service is the smiliest and so welcoming. I can’t wait to come back again.

We had a takeaway from Local Thai and it was absolutely delicious! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We pre ordered the night before and collected. It was all ready at the arranged time and was nice and hot when we got it home. Can’t fault it we will definitely be ordering/ visiting again. Thank you

This is probably the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to, if not the best restaurant in general. The food is so flavourful, I'm literally salivating just thinking about it. We got the red, massaman, and jungle curries as well as the Pad Khee Mao noodles (I think that was the name), and all of them were sooooooo gooooood! If it seems pricey, then don't worry because the large portions make up for it. I probably wouldn't even bother getting any starters since the food is so filling. The only downside was the sticky rice, which felt like it had been made from a packet, and there wasn't much of it either. The steamed rice is much better since it looks like it is made fresh.
