"The Thai rice was soggy. Duck with lemon sauce was microwaved. Starters were too fried...Wine was nice, but the highlight of the meal was when we asked for a to go box, we received back a plastic bag with the beef curry inside, reminded me of a plastic bag one would carry while walking the dog in the park. Not acceptable. Maybe the establishment was not used to customers asking for more...hit or miss, a miss. Fortunately, a 10-minute walk away is where you will find some other eateries"

"Love this place. I even forgot to take photo while eating their food. Awesome Hainan(Chinese) based Thai & Vietnamese & Cambodia cuisine with unbelievably cheap price. Strongly recommend if you get bored with french food during your Loire valley castle tour. I had spring roll, Tomyam soup, fried rice, scallop curry. All of them were fantastic! Owner is really kind. Don’t hesitate to ask recommendation!"
