Great Thai option in Chinatown Manchester. Service was kind and fast. We had the lunch option, but be careful to check the spice levels of each plate, the chilli's might make you regret your choice. The food was in generous portions, the king prawn spring rolls are a must.

Tried Try Thai today in Manchester. Ordered two dishes from the lunch menu: Thai salad and the stir-fried chilli & holy basil with chicken. The spice was great, almost like in Thailand. Portions felt a bit small for the price, but the service was friendly and the location is very convenient. However, a service charge was added to the bill without asking, which I really don’t think is okay, it should at least be mentioned or confirmed before.

Kate was our server and was absolutely lovely. The food is the best Thai we've had in Manchester by a long way. Can't wait to come back!
