Baipo on Upper Orwell Street, Ipswich is a popular Thai restaurant where typical Oriental tradition takes the upper hand over the dining experience, particularly the aspect of sharing meals. So, diners are generally expected to order several dishes that take centre stage on the table, and then pile their plates with rice or noodles as they sample each of the dishes in turn.

A look at the menu reveals starters of spicy chicken wrapped in spinach leaves served with a sweet and sour sauce or minced fish mixed with red curry paste and green bean, deep fried and served with onions, cucumber salad and crushed peanut sauce. Amongst more substantial dishes, there's a delicious stir fried meat of your choice with ginger and mushrooms or chilli and basil while vegetarians also have a wide variety available. A well-mannered wine list caters to all your requirements suitably.
