“ Small little thai restaurant in Lewes. Didn't expect to find authentic Thai food in Lewes ! It was very nice. We had the pad see eew. Huge portion! 2 person can share if not too hungry. The tom yum soup was very good, too ! Most importantly the service, served by lovely Thai lady who is very nice and friendly. ”
“ The thai couple was friendly and took the time to explain our order. The tom yum soup was tangy delicious. The Malaysian salad was o.k missing a few ingredients, usually not presented like that. I had the crispy noodle with tofu, a northern Thai dish, was good. ”

“ Worth it. Quick stop here right before they closed for the afternoon. She was kind enough to seat us and serve us even though she was closing! Spacious. Clean. Food was very good. We had Penang curry and Pad-se- ew. Curry was moderately spicy and flavorful. Padseew had lots of fresh veggies and was made with thin rice noodles like traditional Pad-Thai. ”
