Payom Thai Restaurant

Very enjoyable. Nicely set out and good menus. Great curry and good rice. They can get very busy and tend to get a bit overwhelmed when this happens. I have ordered take away a couple of times and they have forgotten my order once, this was annoying as I had to sit in there and wait for them to make it but they did give me a free entre

It's been two years since my last review of this place, but it has become a regular for me for takeaway, especially the flavour hit of the Nam Zod pork salad - it is fantastic with a kick of chili.
