Went for a family birthday dinner here last Thursday, we'd heard lots of locals positive comments over a few years and never got around to going here. All the tables were occupied and the rear of the restaurant was serving a busy take-away section, testimony to its reliably good food reputation no doubt? What an impressive set up! The service...

We have been visiting Paul's for over 8 years now and they have never disappointed us. The food is perfect and well-priced. The service is always great and very helpful.

I have visited this restaurant many times. It is a family restaurant so can get noisy at times with children's parties or many tables full of families with children. The food is excellent & has been described by many as having the best Chinese food. The owner apparently is local so is known to many of the regulars who frequent... More

I was given Paul's as a recommendation and secured a table there at 7.30pm on a Friday evening. It's never a good sign when four different wait staff descend on you to ask for your drinks order within a few minutes of each other. It's a sign that they just go out on the floor and 'do their own thing'.... More

We love this place, however we've noticed a little price hike, which i guess is in line with inflation? who knows, and the trading hours have changed, which sucks, we used to love going there after seeing a later movie, but still a good place.

I stopped in to get takeaway and ordered, the lady who served me told me there would be a 25 minute wait so I waited...............an hour later I went up to ask if they have forgotten about me and the lady was full of excuses and very rude we WERE customers of this restaurant but not anymore.

I/ We really liked Paul's Asian Affair for their scrumtious food and service, they couldn't do enough for you and your group, to make sure you enjoyed your meal there. Nothing was too much for them. Really good place and food.

First time at Paul's and it won't be the last! The service was great from the minute we got there. The food came out very quickly. We were there with a group of about 11 and ordered about 9 dishes between us and there was plenty to go around. The food was absolutely delicious! Defiantly recommend the Red Thai Curry... More

Had dinner here for my birthday. Very nice chinese / thai / malay food. Everyone happy, great flavours & good selection of specials. Suggest special occaision. Not cheap & drinks expensive so don't go there to have a big drink. All in all a nice night.
