Booked white lion and dragon out of blue and was pleasantly surprised. It is a thai restaurant within and English pub. The decor was very nice, but the food was exceptional. Would defiantly go back again.

Nice place (clean and well decorected etc) and good service but to me the food was only average. There was no depth of flavor to the meal which was served far too quickly. It was OK but I have had much better Thai meals and will not be going back.

Only two serving staff who were doing their best but were over stretched. The food was not good. Tasted of old oil and not much else. We will not be going back.

Was a lovely evening, service very good, food delicious. My husband was a bit put off by the waitress cleaning the cutlery at a table in the corner. There was knives clanking every few seconds. Possibly cause it was a quiet night and wouldn't stop us going again, just a bit off putting when trying to relax.

An extremely good meal. I had the garlicy chicken, my son the nasi goreng (had before and was frankly underwhelmed), while my wife had the jungle curry (good by extremely watery). Service was excellent.

They take "tastecard" which makes it amazing value and the food is excellent. However you have to be prepared to wait for it as the service is getting slower each time I visit.

Very good all round. Food very tasty and able to cater for veggies and gluten free requirements. Set menu was a good choice for the novice. A bit disappointed to see the washing up done in the restaurant as we approached closing time, and prices a tad high compared to other options locally, but thats all would say that wasnt positive. Overall very satisfied and would recommend without hesitation.

Food delicious and great service. We went at lunchtime so very quiet and a bit chilly, but otherwise loved it. We particularly enjoyed the kingfisher mixed starter platters and massaman curry.

Visited on Mothers Day for lunch. The restaurant was severely understaffed. We waited 40 minutes to order and received our starters before our drinks were delivered. Very disappointing considering that the day was a special day and one where the restaurant was likely to be extra busy. Once we got it, the food was excellent..

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was not busy. More than half the tables were not occupied. However, it took more than half an hour for our drinks to arrive, and more than an hour for our food. We then ordered a second round of drink which never arrived (but did show on the bill until I pointed out the mistake). Staff were almost invisible so I had to go to the bar to get more drinks and (when it came to it) pay the bill. It was Mother's Day, so I would have thought that they would have scheduled enough staff to serve customers. The food was alright. All in all, VERY disappointing.

Dreadful evening! Waited 45 mins for starter and then were told we couldn't have two of the three dishes we ordered for the main course ( an hour earlier) as the gas wasn't working ! Then waited an hour for revised main courses, only to be given a beef curry instead of chicken. So many glum looking customers sitting waiting for something to eat! Memorable Valentines meal for wrong reason!

Food was excellent but service, although friendly, was slow. Hold up seemed to be food coming out of the kitchen rather than the waiting staff. Also it felt really chilly - the radiator couldnt cope with the cold was what the manager told us.

Absolutely fantastic place. Outstanding service, sublime food. Such a pleasant surprise - we had no idea it would be so good. Only one tiny issue was that the drinks bill bore no resemblance to what we drank and was clearly made up (we ordered from the bar before going to our table and the barman must have forgotten what to add to the bill). The drinks we were charged for were more expensive than they should have been, however we were so pleased with the place we let it go and paid anyway.

Good 'Pub Thai' food. Prices are reasonable for the Guildford area. Friendly staff. You can eat in the restaurant or if you prefer more casual dining the bar area.

Nice ambience. Busy but not too noisy. Wide choice of food and wine. Excellent service. Food was very good - there were 6 of us and each of us chose differently from the menu and everyone very much enjoyed their meal. All in all a very pleasant evening.

Awful waste of money. NYE so they had all seats full but other than the service being very slow the food was very poor. Shop brought starters. The satay chicken had no flavour at all. The hoisin duck pancakes - the duck was cubed and not shredded so wrong texture in the pancake and they were soooo dry they cracked when attempting to roll them. The mains were tepid, watery and no flavour. Overlooked meat. Over cooked rice. We didn't bother with the dessert!! We had the most expensive banquet £29 per head and a complete waste of money. Never going back again. The waitress said 'sorry you didn't like, we are busy' - great customer service hey!!!

The food was gorgeous and the ambience perfect. Everyone very polite and charming. Just the food was very slow - 3 hours. Apparently the head chef was on holiday so short staffed in the kitchen.

The service was a little slow we had to wait for someone to take drinks order, and then a long wait for drinks and then a long wait to order food. Starter was relatively prompt to arrive but only half our main came out and we had eaten that by the time the rest started appearing (it would have been cold otherwise). However, the food was absolutely delicious and could not be faulted. If they could improve on the speed of service, would be fantastic.
