Turned up for an early Saturday lunch and were instantly welcomed. The food was stunning! Even 1 very fussy child enjoyed his pad Thai and oyster sauce stir fry. We ordered for the table to share and needlessly worried it wouldn’t be enough but the potions are very generous and left very happy and full. Our 9 yr old is already asking to come again

Recommended to us by a friend. Went to collect and hadn't realised until home that a dish missing. Didn't mind as over ordered. Had a call to say we were missing a dish and thay they would deliver. Delivered with 2 extra dishes. The food was amazing. My go to is Papaya salad and this one was hot, tasty and very fresh. All other food was of a similar standard. Will be back to sit in and takeaway based on the food and the service.

I really wanted to enjoy this meal and had been a few years prior with good memories. Sadly not everything ordered turned up (though it did on the bill). Drinks were also ordered which never turned up. Service was slow, food was average. To add insult to injury I was over charged by £4 on the credit card machine at the end. I can only assume it was a bad night based on other reviews but personally I wouldn't go again.

Have eaten here a few times before but not in the last year or so. We went for a family occasion and noticed that the menu was slightly different, but all good. We found out that there was new ownership very recently and based on this visit, the new owner is doing a fabulous job! The food was superb. Really excellent and as good as I’ve eaten in Thailand. The standout dishes were the Weeping Tiger and the Lemon Seabass along with the Som Tum. I asked for my dishes to be Thai level of spicing and yes, super spicy, but super tasty. Would definitely ask for this again. The service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. Also, great value for what we ate. Very highly recommended.

We have enjoyed going here for ages, but under the new management team something has gone wrong with the standard of service. Waiters flit all over the restaurant, so either you wait ages for one, or you get asked for your order in quick succesion by two different waiters, unaware a college has already taken it. Diners arriving after us, had been serverd starters & onto the main courses, whilst our crispy duck still hadn't arrived. We did ask why the poor service, and the reply wasn't satisfactory, so we didn't leave a tip. My Pad Nam Mun Hoy chicken dish was pretty tasteless, bordering on the chicken being undercooked. Everyone else was satisfied with their selections. It's the second time we've come away feeling disappointed. It's a shame, but we've agreed if that happens again, we will have to adopt one of Cheltenham's other Thai restaurants instead.

Giving 3 stars because for me this was more Chinese than Thai. The flavours were also toned down for Westerners. The staff were however friendly and efficient. It's extremely hard to find any good Thai food outside of Thailand ... sadly Cheltenham is not a place where you will find any.

The staff were lovely and felt overall the service although at some points slow it was ok. The Tom ka soup was really lovely and had a nice kick to it. However, pad Thai on the other hand was very bland, and was not good sadly. The chicken was still very juicy and the other dishes specifically the green Thai curry was great. I think having some extra condiments on the table such as fish sauce could have helped. Also it will be even better if they offer thai milk tea. The toilets were clean and the overall atmosphere was nice. The second floor also felt very dark and could have been a bit more lively.

We asked for a Larb Gai (not on lunch menu, but we’d seen it on the evening menu). They were happy to oblige. Having spent a long while in Thailand and loving the real Thai food, we asked for it to be authentic and spicy. It was perfect! Every bit as good as you’d find in Thailand. Just make sure you ask if you don’t want bland euro versions of the Thai dishes.

Beautiful clean restaurant, staff are lovely, service is great, reasonably priced food and it came out quickly. The dishes were good, but I have to say it was all rather mild - not too much chili or fish sauce, and so on - as if toning it down a bit for the British public. I am sure people could handle a proper spicy red curry.. or perhaps it would be better to ask people at the table if they want it hot? No condiments with the Pad Thai (fish sauce, sugar, chili, etc) which makes a such big difference to the dish. Overall, nice meal and will be going again.

Excellent experience last night there. Lovely designed interior with a calm and relaxing vibe. Fantastic superior service - extremely friendly female server. Had the sweet and sour chicken - delicious! Also had the veggie pad Thai - which was good - but I’ve honestly had many better pad Thais before. Thought it could have used more flavor. Also had another dish which I can’t recall the name of, but it was delicious. Finished it off with sticky toffee pudding (not very Thai), but FANTASTIC! Was warm and served with ice cream. Have it! I would definitely come back if I lived closer. ☺️☺️

Great food, however the service is inconsistent. Our drinks and soups were forgotten, and we were blamed for not receiving either of them. I gave 4 stars for the service and not 3 because they did turn it around in the end. The atmosphere upstairs is very depressing and it's freezing. I appreciate they got us at the last minute, but if you're not offering the same level of service then don't bother, it will ruin the experience for customers and it'll only go against you.

Sorry I can't recommend Nagomi despite OK food. It's absolutely not on to help yourself to a very sneaky service charge on the bill. This should be a reward for genuinely good services at the customers discretion and I'll be honest, the service was just average. This makes the lunch deal a bit of a gimmick. Raise your prices if you can't afford to pay your staff more and give your customers the respect to decide, simple.

And even helped do the cake, brought it out and sang. "Best birthday"! Not only that he got a birthday milkshake. The burgers and food were all the impeccable standard you'd expect.
