    The delicious foods served in large portions at reasonable prices trumps the noisy and often chaotic restaurant atmosphere. Of course, we were there on a busy Saturday evening with a Rugby Team having some sort of reunion. Definitely a find if you don’t mind having to shout at the top of your lungs to communicate.

    Honestly loved the vibe of the restaurant but the food we had weren’t good at all unfortunately. The pork in the pad kana moo gorb was unbelievably so difficult to chew. The rice was served cold. The curry tasted bland, lacking spice. Still, big thanks to the lovely staff for their service but I’ve had better thai food somewhere cheaper.

    Honestly one of the worst/most stressful restaurant experiences I’ve had in years. Their bar was a disaster and we spent the entire night chasing up drinks- one of my friends waited an hour for his first drink. Started with the bottomless cocktail option and soon realised they took so long to make that it was absolutely not worth it. Tried to just order a bottle of sparkling but even this took over half an hour to bring. The food was good and speedy, but honestly the service was poor- we asked several staff for help and none of it was resolved until the very end. Would not recommend this place unless you’re just going for food- very very disappointing.

    My friends invited me to this restaurant and we really enjoyed the food, the ambiance and service. I came back to celebrate Lunar New Year at Kan Eang with my sister. The Feed Me menu was amazing! Love the Chicken satay and the watermelon & plum salad and all the mains. The coconut gelato was a perfect ending to our dinner. We were very well attended and the staff was polite, attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to be back for more!

    Very friendly attentive service. Food excellent, except pad thai was a little disappointing. 2 large prawns cooked to death, kind of like a deconstructed pad thai. Starters were nice, as was the whole fish. Also, no chicken options for red and green curries.
