Customer Reviews
An overhyped restaurant that is overpriced with average food, average service and average decor. You’d go once and never return. The chicken skins were small portion and shockingly cold when they arrived. I asked and they told me, it was cooked previously and served cold. So I sent it back. Cold chicken skin - unbelievable. The corn fritters were hot and freshly made but bland. Good portion but the chilli sauce was straight from a bottle. Not worth £8. The glass noodles (vermicelli) were nice but tiny portion with so little chicken. Not worth the £14 price. Half a pint of Singha was quite pricey. Toilet was shocking and seat was broken. Don’t believe the hype. Avoid
This is my second visit to this restaurant, and I still love the ambiance because it feels just like being in Thailand. They offer beer towers and authentic Thai dishes that are delicious and packed with strong flavors, but the portions are quite small for the price. It’s on the expensive side, but it’s fine for occasional visits. I recommend it if you’re looking for an authentic Thai food.
Fantastic place. Amazing Thai food. Everything on the menu was gorgeous especially the beef and also fried rice. We shared most of the menu between 4 of us. Great wee cocktail bar (their version of espresso martini wow) and pool table upstairs. Highly recommend it. Really lovely friendly staff.
Authentic Thai, really enjoyed every dish. Staff and atmosphere also very good. Will definitely be back when next in London
