   This is a really welcoming feel good restaurant. The decor is uplifting, the staff are great and the food is really excellent. There’s a huge choice of dishes and ours was freshly cooked and perfectly seasoned. Really impressed with the festive menu. Our duck starter and salmon dish were delicious. The chocolate tart is to die for.

   We came as a fairly large group, and from start to finish the service, atmosphere and food were all spot on. Everything ran so smoothly, which really makes a difference when you’re dining as a big party. A special shout-out to Sheldon, who looked after us so well. He was attentive, friendly, clearly worked hard and genuinely made the experience better for everyone at the table. Please do pass on our thanks to him. We had a great time and will absolutely be recommending you and coming back again.

   The service was absolutely amazing and no complaints there. I had the sticky chicken with egg fried rice on the side and while it tasted great, I got food poisoning from it. I'm really disappointed as I've enjoyed food from this restaurant beforehand but now sadly I don't think I'll be coming back.

   If you like your Thai food, the Giggling Squid will serve you well - the price is definitely on the high end, but the food is as authentic as you can get. Special mention goes to the hawker-style pork skewers - they're so good and taste just like the ones sold at food stalls back home!

   Really good quality Thai food. We were a big party (12) and the restaurant was quite busy on a Wednesday evening so the food took a bit too long to get to the table. Nonetheless, I would say it was worth the wait. I also had a cocktail that was pretty good (lime cosmopolitan) so I would recommend looking into the cocktails. They have a great variety of drinks and there is plenty of different options to eat. Toilets were upstairs and clean. Overall, I would recommend if you like Thai food or if you are feeling adventurous and want to give it a try. The atmosphere and decoration of the restaurant was quite cute.

   Myself and friends had a good night here. The food and drinks were great. We had starters and main courses and had been asked if we wanted desserts, which we did. From this point on we felt extremely rushed to leave the table despite saying to the server we would like a third course. We understand that the table may be needed back at a set time but as we had been offered desserts it was odd that they were so pushy for us to leave. The staff are polite and were very accommodating, especially to one of our group who had dietary requirements. I'm not sure if we will return to be honest, maybe at a less peak time, if at all.

   The best Thai I have had in a long time, great service. The presentation is great, delicious food. The squid taste is fantastic. I would highly recommend, there are 2 floors. Reasonable prices too. Absolutely a must if you are in the area

   Best Thai restaurant I’ve been to! I go to the Wimbledon branch often and the Cheltenham restaurant was just as brilliant! We had a friendly and funny waiter, who recommend the sharing platter, which included veg spring rolls, chicken wings, pork skewers & the infamous salt and pepper squid!! Tasted amazing and was followed by the most delicious Beef Massaman curry, Thai Green Curry w Chicken and coconut rice. The Gin cocktails were nicely presented, mine having an edible flower. 5 stars!
