Being one of those that are always on the look out for a new Thai place to try I was excited to hear the raves in a chat room about this place. From the outside I was slightly sceptical. It looked small-ish, but was massively busy. The smells were wonderful coming through the door way though so in we went. Oh my word. The waitress said if we liked hot then we should have the mild. I took her at her word. Being a culinary student I make a habit to ask the staff their opinions on things now. I got medium + 1. My husband got spicy. I had the red curry & don't even remember what he had I just remember laughing at him as he asked for milk & had to send it back to get it toned down a bit. It was hot, but the flavors were awesome & not at all lost in the heat. I think in all my years eating Thai food I can honestly say that was the best place i've ever been to. It's small, busy, loud, weird paint job, but if you don't care about all that & just want some incredibly awesome food then go check out Baan-Thai. Just take your patience with you & your appetite.
