Finished my appointment early and the order was put in late on our end so had a little wait with a drink whilst it was being prepared as it was a bit too early for a full house of diners eating in. All staff were lovely and restaurant is pleasant enough. Takeaway arrived 15 mins earlier than quoted which is good but based on other reviews this might happen a lot and they might be guilty of "under promising over delivering" on wait times. Got home and unpacked our order, everything was correct. Tom Ka soup was lovely as were the main courses. Possibly wouldn't order the won tongs again as personal preference is steamed not fried. Both of us have travelled in Thailand before, it's clearly not as authentic as the real deal but as close as anyone is likely to get for Ledbury and all the key characteristics of Thai cooking is there, including lovely aromatic flavours which is a nice change from other stodgy options. Portion size was entirely in line with the price point as well; for context we had x2 starters x 2 mains and x2 sides of rice (plus a large glass of wine whilst I waited) and it was around the £45 mark. Would gladly order again if in the mood for a Thai.

Tried the place further 1st time, a take away. Ordered duck spring rolls and house special chowmein. The rolls were small. Only 3 for £5.95. Outside was nice, crisp, not greasy, but little filling.. My advice is they should make them...If it wasn't for the hoisin sauce, there would be no flavour. The chow mein was a mistake. Completely flavourless. I had to add the sauce from the starter for flavour in the main. The king prawns were like rubber, the beef chewy like leather. So disappointing. £14 wasted. The staff were lovely, but really let down by the food. Maybe just become a Chinese or Thai...as Chinese menu is limited, but then again, if its tasteless, it wouldn't matter. I'm not rushing back, can make it better myself.

Attended with my partner & her family with our 1 year old, we were greeted and seated quickly, immediately brought a high chair over and had lovely service throughout the night. The food came out in perfect timing, everyone agreed the food was amazing. My dish in particular (garlic & ginger chicken with coconut rice) was one of the best Thai dishes I’ve ever had - a big surprise to find this in the quaint town in Herefordshire. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for food in Ledbury or nearby.

Quite honestly the worst Thai food I’ve ever experienced . Young staff were very polite and attentive however management handled our complaint terribly. Will be reporting this elsewhere

Delivery was fast only because I can imagine cooking the minute portions you’ll receive doesn’t take a huge amount of time. £8.95 for 6 fork fulls of chilli beef (yes i counted) £1.50 per mouth full. The spare ribs were tasty, I was disappointed when I finished my second I realised that was the end of that. Actually no spares at all. On a serious note- go to Malvern or Tewkesbury.

Had a takeaway from here tonight. Excellent service. Phoned through the order. Chap was very polite . Gave me estimated time for pick up and it was spot on. Food was A1. No complaints at all. Veggy platter was top notch as was the Pad Thai and Tofu curry. Will eat in the restaurant next time as it looks very nice inside. Recommended

Just two tables occupied on a Sunday evening. Sarter of Tom Yum soup very good flavour but not a lot of chilli heat. Main was a curry but arrived in a tureen with quite a thin sauce - great taste but a little confused how I might eat the recommended rice accompaniment, ended up dumping in the rice into the tureen, stirring it in and eating it with a spoon, rather like a stew. Waitress very helpful. Overall a pleasant experience, but unlikely to return as we were only passing through and live 100 miles away.

to be honest the lady on the phone was nice and really patient when the line kept cutting off, but honestly the food was not at all up to standard. chicken chow mein was okay, but the crispy chilli beef had zero chilli flavour, was just sweet and sickly, and thw prawn crackers just left an acidic burn in my mouth, was definitely not a spicy burn. the chicken rice tasted just of onion, no chicken, rice or other flavours were noticeable. overall it was alright, but not what i was hoping for.

First time ordering from here and definitely new go to! Phone up and the chap was lovley to talk to and as our place can be tricky to find made sure he could. Gave us a rough time to expect and hit it early. As he left a lady called to say he was on his way and was just very friendly and a real people person. Food came and was absolutely delicious! Just really impressed with the customer service and professionalism! Easy recommendation to any ever! 10 star place 😊

Forgot an order told it would be redelivered "now" waited 30 muns 1 hour 45 minute wait initially Chips are dry Chow mein more like a stir fry Prices are extraordinary, over priced for quality. Chicken balls were nice, however the sweet and sour sauce tasted like flavoured water with food dye. Would not go here again personally. 75.10÷7 people is around £10 pp, Not full up, disappointed.

I'm always dubious about bbq ribs as some places they are mostly bone. I was incredibly pleased with how meaty they were from here, been thinking about them for weeks!

Firstly let’s talk about the positives . Chicken balls were amazing and also the chicken chow main was again beautiful and fried rice was nice . Now your ‘curry sauce’ it’s was like an orange slim no spice no flavour and that was annoying because I ordered two 😂 . Secondly your chilli beef is awful no flavour and had a smiliar texture like carcoal please when you shut for a few weeks please sort out your curry sauce and chilli beef as you do have potential. £55 I paid feel let down .

Extremely unhappy with how expensive the Chinese was to be unhappy with the food. The sauce was very watered down and didn’t have much flavour. Was very dry. The ribs there was one really big rib and then 3 tiny ones. There wasn’t even any prawn crackers included. Not happy paying that much to be very disappointed.

Unfortunately I won't be returning after yet another bad takeaway, probably the worse Chinese takeaway I've ever had. This time I ordered duck with black bean sauce, a fairly easy dish to get right I would have thought. The sauce was like water with absolutely no flavour. You could count the number of black beans and pieces of duck on one hand. If you like peppers then this is the dish for you, that's all there was. The dishes are quite expensive too, but happy to pay it if the food is good. Great shame as I really wanted to support the new restaurant.

We're told it would be a 1:45hr wait which was OK, but when the food turned up it was flavourless and very average. Won't be returning on a busy night. May be better in the week when quieter 🤔

A really lovely addition to the choices in Ledbury. Fresh produce light food and a great choice with wonderful service. Had the Thai sweet and sour chicken which was a massive portion. Starter platter two mains noodles two pints and a wine just under £60. Definitely will be back. To get in use the big doors on the left of the restaurant!!!

Food was absolutely delicious as always, all 6 of us had different dishes and everyone was delighted with what they chose the food was also pipping hot . Lovely friendly owner who checked all was ok with our meal when leaving . Must say though we missed your beautiful blue lidded serving dishes 😀 Can’t wait to return Thankyou for a wonderful meal !

I cannot praise them enough. Their food is absolutely superb, authentic and delicious and that’s coming from a very fussy eater. There may sometimes be a little wait for the food but only to be expected as it’s so popular and all food is freshly prepared and cooked on the premises. If you haven’t tried it I would urge you to do so.

Fantastic food and service. Despite being absolutely rushed off their feet and still getting used to operating again, the team are managing to fulfill hundreds of orders each evening. Yes there have been a few teething problems but that's to be expected on opening weekend! Get a grip you miserable 'downgraders' The food is freshly prepared and cooked to order, so a wait is to be expected for such a good quality takeaway. My lad is really fussy about what he eats and rated everything 10 out of 10. So good to have Mark, Rung and the rest of the team back in town providing their delicious food.

Awful!! Ordered food and was told they were very busy which was understandable being a Saturday night! The lady told us 1hr to 1hr and 30mins. After waiting the 1hr 30mins we went to COLLECT it and they lost our order and hadn’t even cooked it. Asked for payment (full payment) and said it won’t be long.. we waiting a further 40 mins at the place for them to cook it. Knew we should have just went to Randuni! Not happy, could have a least apologised and knocked off something for wasting our time!

Great fresh tasting food and nice people. Popped in and ordered and was told it would be around 40 minutes so went for a pint in the Shoe. They called to say it was ready after about 25 minutes. Had to go with what basically everyone in Ledbury has (sweet and sour chicken balls and chicken fried rice). The chicken balls were decent and there were plenty for 2 people. Way better than Golden Gate's old greasy offerings and certainly a lot better than Wing On/Ming Hing (but I'd rather eat cat food than go there again). Rice was good and tasted nice and fresh. The rice portions are smaller than in other places and you'd need a rice each if you normally like a belly buster. Chips are chunky. The prawn crackers are Thai crackers which are a bit more fishy than I'm used to. My wife thought they were really good but I wasn't a massive fan. I saw a few negative reviews on Facebook from their first weekend of opening and thought they were harsh. Ledbury hasn't had a decent Chinese takeaway for quite some time now and back when there were 3 or 4 they were always busy on weekends. Unsurprising people had long waits on the first weekend of opening.

Lovely people and can't do enough to make your experience memorable. They have only been doing take always during this trying time but the food has been lovely. It is with a heavy heart they have told me that they will be returning home to retire and the restaurant and take away will be closing. Another great loss in Ledbury.

Not a fan. Was told my food would be 30 minutes, it was nearly an hour before the food showed up. Got 4 tiny spring rolls which wouldn't have made up for one 'proper' pancake roll. Had the 'house special' chow mein, but was very greasy. The curry my daughter had was sweet and watery. How can a curry be this wrong!? The only saving grace was the satay chicken, which was average, at best. It was my first time here. I won't be going again.

Ordered food at 7:50pm. Estimated an 8:40pm delivery.. It came to 9pm and still no delivery. I phoned and the staff said "5 minutes away" Another 20 minutes I called again.. the woman blamed the driver.. claiming ‘ The driver couldn't read the satnav and had no credit to call me’ Given I live in the centre of Hereford on an old estate it's very hard to get lost.
