Lovely Asian restaurant. The menu is in multiple languages, good service, and good flavors. The vegetarian items are clearly labeled which is useful. Indoor and outdoor seating are available. Toilets downstairs are quite clean and nice too.

We came as a party of two on a Friday night at around 8pm. The restaurant was busy and from previous reviews, I was quietly anticipating a long wait for service…. I was wrong! We were sat down immediately, given the right amount of time to order drinks and food, which arrived promptly. We had spring rolls, kung pow chicken with vegetable chow mein and egg fried rice. Personally, 1 starter, 1 meat main, a vegetable side and plate of rice was more than enough for two people. Good price good place, I’d go again

Enjoyed the noodles and location, ribs and starters just OK. Can understand the mixed reviews here, but not the worst. Choose wisely.

Amazing food and warm service for a fair price. Food portions are extremely royal (big!) and cost little for what they offer both in quantity and quality. Also, Khong-Tsha offers some of the most beautifully decorated Eastern dishes I've seen; which is saying something! Balancing out the affordable food are relatively expensive drinks, but that's more than forgivable given the pros of this restaurant.

Came in as passing and had a wonderful set meal. Staff were excellent (especially with our 14 month old). Could not fault it one bit. Excellent food and good value for money.

One of the best red Thai Currys,and the chicken and prawn phai Thai was so tasty too we ended up going back here a couple of nights. The food dishes coming out to other tables looked amazing we just didn't have time to try more, but definitely going back for that curry was so tasty. Definitely worth a stop in if you are passing. Overall can't fault it.

It's awesome, im a regular guest at many chinese restaurants around the globe and never experienced one as good as this, they clearly went to china in order to select the best cooks. Authentic chinese kitchen, and impeccable beef with black bean sauce :) Just be careful not to sit at the edge of their terrace, they don't pay enough attention to those sides when you try to call a waiter. I ate here twice and the difference is noticable
