Phusiam Restaurant & Takeaway in Shetland Islands

Today me and my friends went to the Phu Siam for dinner and it was so great. I got the Rad Prig with chicken and spicy chips as the side. The food was splendid and the sauce added a grand flavour. Brad, our waiter was so lovely and welcoming and made us feel as though we could ask anything when needed. Lovely service and great experience overall. LOVED the interior design and would DEFINETLY go again.

I made the mistake of visiting this establishment with my partner, both in our sixties, and was met by an extremely rude and nasty owner who waved large knife around from behind the counter as he repeatedly said NO, NO, NO. a very unnerving and disturbingly unpleasant experience, I will most certainly not be returning.

A very tasy meal at a good price. A friendly and cosy restaurant which I would certainly re-visit. One of very few Thai restaurants in Shetland.

We enjoy Thai food and this restaurant seemed to get generally good reviews so decided to try it. The ambience doesn’t help- bright lighting and melamine tables with Thai-style runners. I ordered a glass of house white wine, which wasn’t very nice and had a weird after-taste. My husband ordered a half of Tiger beer but they brought a pint and that had to be sent back. I ordered a Massaman curry with salmon and my husband ordered a prawn red curry, but when they arrived the sauces tasted almost identical (not very nice) and mine was very sweet and contained big slices of potato- surely not a regular Thai vegetable- and a few tomatoes. Definitely won’t be going back.

If you like Thai then this is a good place in Lerwick. Very clean inside and staff are courteous and friendly Good choice on menu and ideal for those new to Thai as not too spicy. However we are seasoned Thai eaters and found the dishes a little too underspiced The Thai fish cakes were good but under spiced. The chicken satay is served cold which we found odd However the chicken massaman was very good and the sirloin steak choo chee was very good but again a little under spiced Popular with locals and good take away too It also opens on Monday which is quite rare on Shetland

Absolutely awful food. Cold dry chicken satay. Something that was supposed to be a Massaman curry terrible. Even my drink was flat 😂

Who knew such a hidden gem in Lerwick. Superb food, and exceptional value Keep up the good work Brad

Utrolig god mat, anbefales langt foran de øvrige her i Lerwick. Spiste King prawns og Phu Siam fried Rice. Dyktig betjening og rolig restaurant.

I only went in for a quick main course dinner, and it was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. The Green Curry with Squid was absolutely delicious. The sauce was full of delicious Thai flavours, the squid was tender and there were lots of vegetables in it too. Loved it!

The food was very good and quickly served. The restaurant was lightly attended but no one seemed in a hurry. Would definitely return ... Arthur

We went as part of a group who had booked the upstairs room. The restaurant knew over a week before we arrived. There was a long wait for starters which were served in dribs and drabs. The staff were not organised - came out carrying a plate then went back for another. The main courses were A,B,C,D and totally chaotic. None of the food was served together, food was cold and we never got our rice.We left before some even got their food. Totally unapologetic and still charged the full amount. Customer service not good. The staff need better training and when we left there were several tables downstairs. They took on too much and didn't deliver. An expensive waste of money.

We both started with hot and sour soup and then had a vegan stir fry and a chicken red curry, all full of flavour, washed down with a decent bottle of wine. Good price, a bit basic room and decor, but the food was excellent.

gerechten zijn prima, bediening is prima. Maar de ruimte waar je zit is volledig inpandig en laag. En als er dan andere gasten zijn die wat harder praten dan is het ronduit rumoerig. Men zou zich moeten beperken tot enkel afhalen en niet dineren ter plaatse

I got in early before a few other tables filled up. The service was good, clean and good music that wasn’t too loud. I had prawn 🦐 purée as a starter followed by red Thai curry and egg fried rice. The food was fantastic and I couldn’t fault this along with the service. The only downside is the young lad dressed well could have smiled at least once and the other could have dressed better than having a pair of faded jeans and a hoody. A small observation and definitely not a complaint as the food and service you couldn’t fault.

The food was delicious but the wait was awful. We had not phoned in advance so we expected to have to wait for 20 minutes. Each time we asked, we were reassured it was almost done. There seemed to be little communication with the kitchen.

Long wait for starters . Everyone in the restaurant served out of turn. My starter was brought 5 minutes before my husbands eventually came. Then another long wait for the mains same for the Belgium couple on the table opposite The food lacked Thai finesse...

I think it was one of the best Thai food we eat ever. Recommended. Fresh and quite spicy, we never get any Asian food with that level of spiciness in Scottish mine land. We like hot food so was perfect.

Delicious Currys The thai red curry i had was spectacular the chicken was very tender the sauce was delicate and the quality was amazing. The service was great and the staff were welcoming and and were polite and it was a great experience

The moment I walked into the restaurant I was greeted with a welcome I was given the menu and W delighted with the selection offered . It was the best Thai I have tasted and the service was excellent and wine choice . Thank you...

09/08/21: Having visited on holiday a couple of years ago, we returned tonight and had an excellent meal. The food was piping hot and very tasty, The waiter (a local guy by the sound of him, behind the mask) was lovely - very attentive and...

Absolutely terrible service, I would go as far as to say the worst I have ever experienced. It was a total joke. The food was average at best.

Excellent meal and service! Great value for money. Please visit and experience. The restaurant is in a central location in Lerwick. We were very impressed.

Reasonable authentic Thai food with a Thai chef. Ingredients can't be easy to source in Shetland. The Thai fish cake starter was nine as was my ad Ke Mouw Nuea, thought the beef was a bit tough.

Who’d have thought in one of the furthest flung parts of the UK, you’d find a Thai restaurant!!! Fine Thai decor, fine Thai music and fine Thai food. Our meal was delicious, generous helpings, great presentation and attentive staff. Well recommended. Just not expected (but...

Very tasty food and a very nice welcoming host who looked after us well. Wholeheartedly would recommend!

A Thai restaurant in central Lerwick offering a good range of Thai dishes.. We had a lovely starter of a selection of spring rolls and vegetarian bites followed by a curry and noodles with prawns. It was all very tasty. Service was good and attentive....

Had a few meals here . Was very tasty curries and also had Pad Thai which was very enjoyable . Like spicy food like this

I like my Thai food, but this wasn't great. Hot and sour soup lacked subtlety, and sea bass main was overpowered by the sauce which smothered it.

Had a takeaway from this place this evening as its lockdown times. Ordered two mixed starters and a green curry chicken and sticky rice. Was given one starter instead of two...thankfully as it turned out as mostly it was inedible. The prawn toast was acceptable...

Worst thai food I have ever tasted. First failed to give us the correct order. Didnt understand our thai vocabulary. The curry was like water with colouring to it and minimal veg. Total disappointment. Been visiting thailand for over 5 years and had nothing ever...

I ordered a sit-down meal from the takeaway menu and was charged £19.25 vs £14.10. I thought this was a substantial mark up for eating-in, but blamed myself for not checking the eat-in menu prices first. I trusted the lady and didn’t check. On my second visit, I ordered a single £5 takeaway dish. The lady attempted to charge me £6 for this. I assumed that I must have an out of date menu, so this time, checked the ones on the counter. They were the same as mine. I pointed this out and without argument, was charged the correct price of £5. Whilst the food was quite nice, if a little sweet, I can’t stand being ripped-off, so won’t be returning to this restaurant.

Friendly staff and food is okay but the place is in a serious need of a uplift looks so dark gloomy and minging

In fairness, the restaurant was overwhelmed by an unusually high customer turnout on a Monday evening. The attending manager needed to call her daughter in to help! They managed not to keep people waiting too much but the food seemed to betray the rush. The available choice was varied but I do not think I would rush back there. Even in July, however, Lerwick does not welcome the travelling diner: little capacity; early closing etc.

I found limited options to eat around Lerwick during my stay, as someone who can't eat seafood - my options were reduced even more. When I found this place I figured I'd give it a go - and returned the next 2 nights. The place was simple and empty when I ate there - but I ate early so it may get busier later in evening. The service was friendly and simple - it isn't claiming to be a 5 star restaurant and it doesn't need to be. There's a large selection of choices and the meals I ate were great. If I return to Lerwick, I'll return here.

We needed a place to eat and stumbled on the Phu Siam. The place was practically empty but was open and the guy who gave us a table was welcoming. We ordered starters, mains and a drink. The food was really good, it arrived quick was hot and delicious. The restaurant seemed clean and well cared for. The prices were ok I paid £18 for everything which I though was good value. Overall an enjoyable meal I would eat here again.

Had a mixed vegetable starter (sharing platter) and then Thai Green Curry main. Food was good. There was a bit of a wait for the starter but other than that no complaints.

Convenient to the old harbour, this must be the most northerly Thai in the UK. We had a reasonably priced meal, which tasted excellent. Our experience was tempered by the very amateur front of house/waitress who was very pleasant but rather haphazard.

Welcoming atmosphere - the restaurant was clean and tidy. However, it was one of the worst Thai meals I’ve ever had. It wasn’t that the food wasn’t edible (it was) or that the food arrived arrived cold (it arrived relatively hot) but:...it was expensive for what it was (£47)...the prawns, across the different dishes, were translucent and undercooked...the “seafood sizzler” came warm and sitting in a pool of watery sauce....all the ‘seafood options’ were that of the prawns (very few - 2 or 3 per dish) and too many baby mussels (the frozen variety you can get in supermarket). The seafood sizzler mentioned earlier was a mains priced at £14.There aren’t many restaurants in Lerwick for evening meals, and the Phusiam had many positive reviews on tripadvisor. For those returning to Aberdeen from Lerwick, I highly recommend Madame Kew’s in Aberdeen market. My partner and I had a far superior meal for less than half the price compared to the Phusiam.

We ate here on our last night in Shetland,the meal was very nice,prices are very reasonable,lots of choices,very clean and friendly

Hadn't been to a Thai restaurant in years so we decided to try this place out.

Das Essen war hervorragend, nicht zu viele Leute im Restaurant und das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

We are now regulars here. The food is freshly made, wonderfully flavoursome and never disappoints. Lovely Staff. Calm and gentle service - and you don't have to wait too long Recommend the mixed starter and the Fish dishes are sublime.

7日の夜に訪れました。5時過ぎに入りましたがすでに2組ほどのお客さんが居ました。鴨の酢豚風、ライスヌードル、スペアリブタイ風、コーンフライを頼みました。盛り付けなどは素っ気なかったですが庶民的で味も良かったです。

Maten var riklig och mycket god. Servicen var ok, men oengagerad. Prisvärt. De ordnade kyckling m jordnötssås som huvudrätt även om det saknades på menyn.

Dined inside a windowless café with pleasant piped in Asian music. Enjoyed a tasty Beef Gaeng Panaeng (Aromatic Red Curry), a curry made with coconut milk, lime leaf & chili (£6.50), Koaw Saul (Steamed Rice) (£2.60) and pot of tea (£2.00). Inattentive male waiter appeared to have little or no training. After asking for and receiving bill, waiter failed to return to collect payment. Will order takeaway next time.

One of the best Thai meals I have ever had. I was on my own and I felt comfortable eating there by myself. I had stir fry vegetables with cashews. Spicy and delicious. Had enough left to take home for the next night. Very reasonably priced

We came here because it was the only place open - it turns out Monday nights in Lerwick can be a bit slow. We'll probably return - we're only on Shetland for a week but the food was so tasty it might well have to be done.

la décoration qui emprunte à toute l'Asie (Inde, Japon...) est risible... La souoe était très bonne mais le fried rice très quelconque. L'addition est salée pour cette prestation.

We always eat here whenever we visit Shetland and it’s consistently excellent. Don’t be put off by the exterior. Behind the takeaway lies a cracking little restaurant. Superb food and great service. Highly recommended.

Along the water front down town with an unassuming sreet front presence we were pleased to find, on entering, a presentable little Thai resraurant. My wife and I ordered two dishes and steamed rice. We ended up having a very good dinner with a variety of foods including chicken and nicely done vegetables - for a very reasonable price.

Went with friends. Had the mixed starter which was lovely and very filling. Had a duck dish with plenty of meat and veg and a lovely ginger sauce. Tried a bit of everyone's main course and it was all superb. Staff very welcoming and good service. Will definitely be back

We are here for the viking festival and we had dinner here for the last 4 days.Plenty of food and really really tasty.Be patient with the staff and you will have a really good meal.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Lerwick on 4th January - not easy! Phu Siam was open, and near where we were parked, so we thought we'd give it a go.

We are from Melbourne and enjoy quality Thai food. At the Phusiam we were served delicious, fresh, tasty Thai dishes. We thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

I think this place has a great potential. Food is very nice and very spicy (my preference). But service lacks detail. And restaurant itself does not have any ambiance. Try takeaway.

On our first night in Lerwick in self-catering accommodation very close to Phu Siam, we decided to grab a takeaway for the four of us, largely based on the Tripadvisor reviews and because we hadn't had a Thai meal in ages. Whilst the sticky rice was very good, our main meals were variable in quality. I had the green curry, which tasted fine but the curry sauce was very thin. The quality of the chicken was mediocre. The yellow curry was much better. Our friends had the red curry and weren't too impressed. We didn't return during our week's stay.

Esta es una joya de restaurante el chef (una encantadora bienvenida de él así como la señora que alberga el restaurante es muy alabado por perfectamente cocinado un menú estupendo. Las comidas varían en términos de calor y spicyness pero el anfitrión está dispuesto a ayudar y hay el típico 1, 2 o 3 símbolos de pimienta en el menú. No recuerdo el nombre de mi pescado, pero tuve un delicioso salteado de salmón con anacardos, verduras y una salsa aromática encantadora. Pedazos de salmón que se derretía en la boca, pero tenía el ligerísimo toque de crunchiness en el exterior. Cuando traen huevos arroz frito vegetal que es una comida en sí mismo con piezas de verduras en vez de bits en minúscula y espolvoreado. Los aperitivos estaban deliciosas en el tono bateadores con una salsa sabrosa. Todo viene con una decoración de vegetales. esculpidas No llevar comidas. La habitación es preciosa, pero la música en la pantalla grande en el extremo de la habitación un poco con tarros de la decoración tranquila, pero no interfiera demasiado con la conversación. Muy limpio, incluyendo los aseos.

Hay un ojo eagle corriendo en este restaurante, así que el servicio es muy bueno,

Fuera de este restaurante parece poco prometedora, pero el interior es cálido y acogedor. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida y descubrí que soda y Lima es una excelente bebida con la comida oriental. Señaló como otro lector, el arroz de coco es extremadamente bueno. Ten...

Vine aquí para un viaje de madrugada, tenía el curry de pollo Tailandés amarillo + honestamente puedo decir que es el mejor curry que he probado en mi vida, sin duda nack

Después de haber comido un par de normalilla cenas en restaurantes lerwick. Esta semana, la comida Phusiam fue una agradable sorpresa! Caliente, sabroso y de buena calidad, buena relación calidad-precio en la oferta. Recomendado para seguro!

Strange little building and entrance - didn't know what to expect ... this little gem is hidden away .... but ....to my surprise the food was really good - lots of choices and tasty - very reasonable prices, friendly staff

Food was ok, service was ok, price was ok, decor was ok. As previous reviews have said: Shetland is now a known culinary destination, and this is no exception. Pros: good location, easy to find, good extensive menuCons: Salmon was not filleted so bones in every mouthful, food was cooked some time ago with sauce (delicious) poured over itWe would come again, but might try somewhere else first.We paid £45 for two including one glass of wine and duck to start (which was good - the duck gets 4 stars)

Not a bad place to sit in the decor is really nice too food is ok but I've tried better Felt like something was missing from there hopefully be back again to try

So as I have said in other reviews, Shetland isn't exactly a culinary destination. However this is OK. Don't be put off by the outside, which is a bit underwhelming, is alright inside. Food was tasty and service efficient. Also ignore the chilli symbols on the menu, none of the food is spicy hot.If you want a decent basic Thai, then this does the job.

Me and my partner get takeaways from here once every two weeks on average. There Thai green curry is to die for and there coconut rice is delish. I always like going there because they use a wide variety of vegetables in there dishes which other takeaways around here don't seem to do that much. Never had a bad meal from them.

If you like Thai food then try this little place in Lerwick town centre. Sopa who owns it is also the owner of the Glenorchy hotel where I stay for work so have eaten here frequently and although was never too sure of Thai food have found many dishes I love.

This is a typical lowish-budget Thai place. Food good without being exceptional, service friendly. Sound system playing (I assume) Thai music was faulty and sounded terrible - manager eventually turned it off. You wouldn't think twice about this place in a large town or city, but in Lerwick it made an interesting change.

This was the first time I had been to a Thai restaurant, I've been to plenty of Chinese restaurant which sold some Thai food but this was just Thai food and boy what an eye opener, a brilliant range of food all with explanations of what was in each dish and a guide to how spicy they were. The service was quick and friendly but best of al the food was pipping hot when it was served. As someone else said don't be put off by the outside because this is a hidden gem.

We came here a few times on our last visit to Shetland and loved it so we headed back here upon our return visit. It was as good as ever. Don't be put off by the exterior - the restaurant behind the takeaway is lovely. Staff are friendly and service is efficient. Delicious food. Will definitely be back.

Have been here twice recently for a meal in the restaurant. Both times we had a set meal, lovely freshly cooked food, so tasty and plenty of it. Mixed starters are fantastic and well worth the money. Restuarant is cosy and basic and drinks are reasonably priced. We will be back soon

Very enjoyable Thai food. We had the set meal for 2 which was rather too much in quantity (for me, though probably not for everyone) but there was no faulting the quality. It was nicely presented and served by the owner herself, who was welcoming and helpful and whose graciousness contributed to a pleasant occasion. This is a fairly small restaurant so not suitable for large parties, but perfect for small groups of friends or couples. My only gripe is completely personal - there was a TV screen in the restaurant, which is something I don't care for. Having said that, I thoroughly recommend this place and shall definitely go again.

J’étais habituée aux prix imbattables des restaurants thaï. Pour celui ci j’ai été déçue par la quantité et le prix. Cher pour ce que c’était même si le goût était présent.

There was very little to indicate you were sitting in a Thai restaurant other then the staff. The furnishings were comfortable but no atmosphere. There were two prawn dishes on the starter menu, so I ordered the pepper prawns. I was so disappointed when I was served four (freezer food shop) thickly battered prawns on a bed of shredded dry cabbage with a chilli dip. Shetland has a wealth of fresh seafood on its doorstep, so there is no excuse to use bulk buy pre-made seafood. The Thai green chicken curry should have been described as soup with a little offering of chicken. I will not comment on the taste as everyone has different views on taste. The portions were large. I was sitting with my back to a large flat screen which I believe was showing Thai programs and at the other end of the restaurant two female staff members were sitting slouched out at a table watching the screen. I missed the warm Thai welcome and atmosphere which I have witnessed in other Thai restaurants.

Eat here during our stay in Lerwick. The owner was very friendly and the food was good. We had a fair selection of dishes which were all tasty and the service was fine.

We thought we would try something different for a change. Ordered a takeaway so we did not eat in the restaurant. You can change the spice level of your dish if you like. They do sticky rice which is unusual. The menu was not extensive but you can have the usual meats and seafoods. The ribs had a very nice sauce, not too sweet. The food was very tasty. We find Chinese are often bland. This between Chinese and Indian, so we were very pleased. The are also deserts, which you do not always get. Very enjoyable.

After hearing good things, we decided to try out Phusiam.There was 6 of us and we got the starter platter which was lovely but things went downhill from here....I ordered a dish which was described as crispy chicken stir fried with green beans, baby corn, onions etc. The reality was bit of battered chicken and onion rings. When I questioned this, the waitress told me she did not know what to say and shortly after this, the chef came out but was extremely hard to understand - I think he told me the dish had been changed but the menu had not. As I ate very little of my main, I decided to order a banana split but the waitress presented me with a banana fritter. When I told her she was serving the wrong thing she told me there had been a mix up in the kitchen and basically gave me no choice but to accept.Needless to say, I'll not be going back.Why have a menu when you don't serve items on it.

We actually went for buffet, but it was not on, they offered "on the table" buffet and it was absolutely brilliant, came out with a selection of starters, and we choose our main, tasted great, gave our son an ice cream before we left. Would definitely recommend for a great meal. Thanks.

Found this place wandering around Lerwick late one evening in May 2015 after my friend and I cycled from Scalloway to Sumburgh and then Lerwick.The restaurant was empty and a little gloomy. However, the greeting was friendly and the waitress (a local lady) was very good and attentive.The food was served quickly and was actually very nice and we both thought it was good value for money.It was a good find we both thought.

Visited with work colleague & we weren't disappointed. We had the set meal for two at £17.95. Mixed starter comprising of prawn toast, Thai fish cakes, chicken skewer in peanut sauce , spring roll and a pakora, all very nice & tasty. The main meals also were of a very high standard the green Thai curry was superb, the mixed veg in oyster sauce & the beef in black bean sauce excellent even the sticky rice was lovely. A must try if you visit or live on Shetland. Staff and service very good .

Visited with a work friend and was blown away at how good the food was, I would probably say one of the best Thai meals I have ever had. Customer service was also excellent. I will be visiting again before I leave

Cannot recommend more. Authentic taste. Have tasted Thai food across the world-this place is right up there in terms of taste. Most dishes are great but Tom Yum soup is just amazing. The red curry is very good-make sure you order sticky rice with it to make it an authentic experience. I dine in every time I visit Lerwick

If you can ignore the slight glaring lights and take away counter at the front, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how nice the food is in this place.Only Thai place in Shetland and I found it to be very good value and portion size and most dishes I have tried here have been very tasty. Last time I was here I had Pad Thai which tasted excellent although presentation wasn't the best. In general the feel is more of a take-away than a restaurant and it's more a place to go for something quick with friends rather than a romantic meal. The staff have always been really enthusiastic and welcoming though. It's also a very handy and central location in town whether you are eating out or taking away.

Sterile dining area didn't bode well with awful canned music playing in the background. Food was excellent and good value.All other diners were referred from the Glen Orchy Guest House and, somewhat embarrassingly were made to pay for drinks in the middle of their meal and some were made to produce room keys before they would be served - very awkward for non-resident customers such as myself. Coffee was truly awful and the mesh on the cafetierre must have been broken judging by the amount of coffee grounds swimming in my drink.Frustrating as this could be awesome!

Had a leaving party from work and had a great meal with great service. You get plenty on your plate too.

Authentic Thai -unexpectedly good for such a remote place. Itw as not busy- filthy wet dark dreary night - warm welcome- very enthusiastic and friendly staff. We had a lovely meal - great spices and piping hot, and generous portions. Great value. Not busy the night we were there- hope this place continues to thrive

A bit if an unknown gem in the centre if Tim, this restaurant deserves to be much busier than it is - great food, great value and the smilies the chef around. I understand they are now doing a buffet meal on a Monday evening from 5.30 which no doubt will be even better value

On our travels we usually prefer local food, but sometimes we like a different taste, Thai for example. This restaurant is well located in the city centre, just opposite of a parking area. The appearance of the entrance is not very welcoming due to the added take away counter, but the friendly staff welcomes you right at the door. That early evening we were the only guests and got our dishes in reasonable time. The food was tasty and came in generous portions. Don't expect an atmospheric place and you won't be disappointed.

3 of us had intended eating in the Grand Hotel, but after asking for a menu we were told they were overbooked and only had one chef one and we would have to wait. We decided to go to Phusiam, which was actually full, but they made a little rearrangement so we could be seated. The menu is quite varied and not ALL Thai food. I had the coconut soup with mushroom, and Mussaman Curry with Chicken. Both delicious. Good service. Highly recommended!

There isn't much choice for food in Lerwick so this place was a nice surprise. The duck makkam was fab. Service was fine...mix up with a drink and hubbys meal delivered to the wrong table (but this was fixed with a new fresh dish in a minute)....nothing that would put me off going here....the food made it worth it!

this restaurant is equal to any other thai restaurants iv been to. good service and great mains. highly recommend the duck makaam and dish 54

We were working in Shetland for a week in April and ate here twice. We weren't planning on doing that, but we enjoyed it so much the first time we went back for a 2nd evening. I'm not a great lover of Thai food, but I really did enjoy the various veggie dishes that I had and my carnivore friend demolished everything that was put in front of him and then raved on about it all endlessly. Will be going back for another week in July and will definitely be going back. Highly recommended!

Don't go here unless you are prepared to wait over an hour for your food. We ordered within 5 minutes of sitting down. I counted 14 people in the restaurant waiting for their food. After an hour my husband got up and asked the owner what was taking so long. "We have a busy take out business" she said. The diners are put behind all the take out orders. It was 1 1/2 hours to get our order. It was stifling hot in the building,no windows and the server told us to choose between rices with our dinners. We thought it was included. The bill came it wasn't. We paid over $50USD for our dinner we waited 1 1/2 hours to get and took us 15 minutes to eat. We talked to the owner again when we left and she didn't seem to care. The takeout business was over by then. There were 4 unserved diners left. The food was so so. Our meals were overcooked.

My sister got me a takeaway from here for my birthday. Best takeaway in Shetland. Great food. Canna wait to go again hopefully this weekend

OK, so by London standards, this Thai is somewhat mundane, but for Lerwick, it's worth checking out. The 'foreign' cuisine on offer in Lerwick (which is the MAIN town of the whole of the Shetland Islands, remember), is somewhat lacking in pizzazz. It's OK, but all a bit 1970s, sometimes. There's nothing wrong with that, but this Thai produces some nice tasty dishes which look right and don't come awash with gooey or dayglo sauces. Good, friendly atmosphere and a lot of regulars make for a nice relaxed time.

We went here for a quick dinner on a saturday night. The food was very very tasty. The lady who served us gave fantastic service and really tried hard to make sure we ordered something we would like. The only negative was that as there was only 4 of us in the restaurant at the time it was echoingly quiet and that made it hard to enjoy the whole dinner. When they did put music on to soften the atmosphere... "war was over" in May wasn't quite what the diners expected :) did make us laugh - worth a visit!

Pretty amazing Thai food at very reasonable prices but no atmosphere whatsoever and an unwelcoming entrance through the take-away.Shame because the food is special.

Went here for a meal. Lovely staff and good atmosphere. We had the mixed starter platter which was excellent. Asked if they would give us half an hour until the next course which was no problem. We had the Thai red wine which was lovely. I had the sirloin steak in hot curry sauce. Not a huge steak but plenty. The sauce and veg was a very tasty and the veg decorations a lovely touch. One bowl of rice and one portion of noodles did four of us. Had hot banana in coconut and ice cream. Best meal we've had in ages will definitely be back

We ordered a takeaway from this restaurant just recently this week as we've never tried Thai food before. The food seemed very appetising from its menu on their website but showed a bit too little detail on what were the ingredients in some of their dishes, once we made our order and phoned the restaurant it took a while for the person on the receiving end of the phone to hear what we were ordering.After we got our takeaway, the food we hoped would be delicious was more or less disapproving. The prawn tempura was half cooked, the spring rolls were a bit tasteless and the chicken on sticks were a bit spicy for liking (as I said, it was our first try on Thai food cuisine). I had a Thai-style sweet and sour chicken with "lots of mixed vegetables" it said on the website, I reasonably disappointed to find only green beans and leafy greens, probably cabbage but not sure, the sauce was very spicy and watery while the chicken was very good but the sauce did overpower my taste buds as I needed a pint of milk or two as I don't particularly like foods which are spicy.All in all, we'd stick to Chinese and Indian restaurants as well as takeaways because there's plenty of them in the town!

Excellent meal, lovely staff, and a wide choice on the menu. The owner asked me "Why you like Thai food? Have you been to Thailand?" which was hilarious. Next time I am in Lerwick I will definitely be popping in.
