Northern Thai - Ascot

I wanted to try this place out for ages: I finally made my way there tonight, and thought I'd grab a beef garlic-pepper stir fry Paid $16 Their

With a street that boasts three Thai restaurants, it's easy to be drawn to those towards the ritzier end of Racecourse Rd.

Used to love this place. Convenient and very cute. We dined in on our way to a play one night and was quite possibly the worst Thai meal we'd ever had. We had fish which I can guarantee you was not fresh, we couldn't even eat it. Given we used to like it, we tried take away, and again, was absolutely awful. We ran into someone who said they had just dined there and it was great. Once more we tried it again, awful. Not only was it awful but we had to drive back to the restaurant twice because they forgot things or gave us the wrong meal..... really not happy. You cannot make a meal so bad each three times. We will not be going back. The interior is very Thai but the carpets and walls are so dated. Such a shame.

Ate here with two other friends on a Monday evening. No need to book as very quiet but don't let that fool you - very good Thai food!We shared the roti with peanut sauce and the chicken dumplings off their new menu, plenty to go around between three of us.We then shared green beef curry (ok), lucky duck (yum!) and the calamari from the chef's special. Those dishes plus fried rice was enough to fill us up and we enjoyed all dishes especially the duck.Unfortunately they were out of the deep fried ice cream.All reasonably priced, we brought our own bottle of wine as BYO.

This is a hidden gem in Ascot. The food is sensational. Fish and Papaya salad is probably the best Thai dish I've eaten and the presentation is amazing. Massaman beef is deliciously tender and the pieces of beef are generous. The service is wonderful. Price is good too. Open 7 days a week and you will become a regular.
