First visit to Kwai 2 in Basingstoke. The food was tasty, but food and drink are both way too expensive for an out of town location ie £5.00 for 2 small bowls of thai crackers and £25 for a bottle of sancere. Service also was mixed with Ryan a young local lad doing most of the table service work and... More

This is a beautiful Thai restaurant. The food is very good - although the prices are a bit on the high side for what you get. The service needs to be improved - as it does not seem to be running smoothly. I feel sure that things have probaby improved since it is almost a year since my last visit.... More

I went there with my hubby last week for his birthday. We booked a table online for 7 p.m. (in fact we didnt need to as it was quite empty when we arrived). The menu was good with a variety of selection. As some of the others stated previously the drinks were quite expensive but the food was okay priced... More

Kwai 2 is a pleasant restaurant that takes reservations as well as having a takeaway service. The site used to be an old pub, The Cromwell and the original signage remains outside the building. Inside there is a wealth of brick and beams, a long bar and plenty of seating. We arrived at 7:30pm on a Friday and it was... More

Used to be my favourite restaurant, but recently they have very busy and the service and food is just not the same any more, I am disappointed.

I booked a table for my partner and I for tonight (Sunday) and the lady who answered spoke good enough English and helped me work out where exactly the place is as I've never been to Lychpitt before and internet maps weren't of much help as Great Binfields Road is very long. It's by the small Tesco Express (not the... More
