Tucked away in Southampton, this small Thai place turns out to be a proper find for families — buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and the dining room is calm and roomy enough that you're not apologising to the next table. Portions are bigger than you'd expect, especially the starters: the Thai fish cakes and dim sum are the ones people come back for, along with the crispy beef in tangy soy and the pad thai. Staff are attentive and unfussy, quick to fetch a drink when someone needs one right now. Two things worth knowing: several dishes carry real heat, so ask them to dial it down for younger palates, and service can drag when it's busy, so don't arrive with hungry children and no plan.
