Having previously enjoyed Lucky Khao’s food at the Cin Con Noodle vs Pasta showdown; we booked a table for their Michelin Mayfest 4-course dinner. The food is exceptional, and it packs such a flavour punch that knocks you out. I never knew a Massaman curry to have such incredible deep flavours beyond what I have previously experience only in Thailand. The grilled mackerel was simply sublime and again, some of the best Thai food I have enjoyed!

Super tasty fresh food, lovely staff and ambiance, sadly the portion sizes let the place down. We had the taster menu, which were probably the smallest plate of food we have ever been served. Left hungry, in fact I think a 10 year old would have left hungry with the amount of food we were given. Don’t go if you are hungry, almost stopped for a kebab on the way home 👎🏼

The food can be good but I am not sure. Since the website mentioned the kitchen closes at 9:30 pm but actually no food services before that. Update on your social media if there is no more food!
