For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Rumwong Restaurant Diner Reviews

"Rumwong is an experience not to be missed with an ambiance of its own . Excellent authentic Thai with a room with oriental low seating.. Good atmosphere but that room could be awkward for less agile clients . BUT the food is not to to be missed and the staff and service make it a place to make repeated visits"
