We chose Bang to celebrate a birthday milestone. Having great food and ambience was a must. They also were very careful with my son’s nut allergy - having Thai fusion was delicious but usually comes with nuts. Highly recommend this little gem. The food was a delight. We will be back for that and the cool vibes / service.

Great place hidden away downstairs. Lovely food and popular. Starter came quickly but we'd been there 40 mins before my main arrived (just after we asked if it was coming soon). It was a tofu panang and I skipped the tofu as it was too chewy which left me with broccoli, carrots and a few green beans. Still, it was tasty. Wouldn't order it again. Curry puffs were so delicious - melt in the mouth!
