“ One of my favourite places to eat Thai food in London. Love their som tum, stir fried morning glory, Thai-shimi and raw salmon salad. Real punchy Thai flavours! ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious and mouth watering, with the richness of flavour! Probably the best Thai restaurant in UK. The lady (I guess she is the owner) was very friendly and nice too. Highly recommended and will come again! ”
“ First thing first, the presence of Thai-speaking staff (and customers) is reassuring. The menu is pleasantly surprising with its selection of dishes that one cannot easily find here. The ‘laab moo’ (minced pork salad) is a highlight, with finely chopped mince absorbed with rich juice. Spice it up if you like! ”
“ Just had the most authentic and amazing Thai food! I lived in Thailand as an expat and I’ve not found anywhere in London that is offering such authentic Thai food! We tried the signature soft shell crab in yellow curry which was absolutely divine! So rich and creamy! The namJim seafood sauce with the prawn Thai-shimi was popping and the crispy pork salad was so crunchy yet juicy! The som tum and pohdek soup flavour was so authentic and when we talked to the chef, she said they make their own fermented fish sauce in house! We are blown away by the level of detail, passion and love that goes into the food! The manager and waitress were so friendly and welcoming! We will definitely be back!! ”
“ This was a real treat. The staff were lovely and helpful and the food was so tasty. We ate soft shell crab on crispy bread, papaya salad with fermented fish, pork collar and lamb curry and everything was so special, I couldn’t choose a favourite. The flavours were bold and the dishes that said they were spicy really were. I would recommend eating here. ”
“ One of our frequent restaurants for authentic Thai food. The Raitakrai salad is so good if you like spicy dish with a variety of toppings. Stir-fry basil is also a must with a generous portion. Service was good and the staffs were lovely. ”
