    Prawn doughnuts

    Hands down the best Thai I've ever had. The beef stew was so tender and the broth was absolutely incredible. The pad thai portion is HUGE and delicious. The prawn doughnuts are a MUST with the sweet sauce they come with. I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time!

    Kid's chicken fried rice with spring rolls
    Teena S.

    I love how this restaurant has a kids menu - a starter and a main for 6.50. The kids loved their fried rice and pad saw eww. The only compliant they had was that the onion slices were huge and big enough for them to take out of their dish. :) I really enjoyed the pad say eww with veggies. My husband did not like the beef fried rice, but loved the Tom yum soup. Overall, the place was authentic. We should have tried more traditional dishes. The lemonade was a bit too sweet for my son.

    Chilli & Basil Stir Fry

    A pretty good little thai spot. Some of the dishes had good flavour. A couple had to much sauce. The service was a little lacking but there are a couple different dining rooms on different levels.

    Spicy Beef Salad
    Ella F.

    This cute litrle thai café gives me the feeling of a trevdy cafe and a home style small restaurant. The interiors are cute with small woofen tables and red stools and the staff is friendly and very attentive but what really makes this place worth while is the food. A bit pricey for my liking perhaps (£18 for my salad + a change beer and a £2 service fee that was added to the bill) but still a place a would come back to when I feel like having a quick thai meal. I ordered the spicy beef salad and it was great. The dish was served in twi isberg salad leaves and dressed just enough to cover the whole dish in deliciousness, the meat however was the star of the dish,really tender and hade a nice char grilled flavour. I asked to get my salad medium spicy and thats exacly what I got. Much appreciated! Although the place looks quite modern and trendy the food to me looks less so. The flavours are all there however a bit more love in terms of plating, ingredients and body in the dishes would make this place a five star place for me. To conclude - I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick and good thai meal - but not if you're looking to have a quiet romantic dinner!

    Papaya salad, too spicy...
    Celia R.

    Cute little thai cafe just off carnaby street. Food was lovely and not too expensive. Shared some starters - mention goes to the fried calamari, really worth it. Disappointment with the summer rolls. Soft shell crab was nothing to report back... I tried the red duck curry - full of flavours and not particularly spicy. The ladies tried the papaya salad was was very tasty too but too spicy for their taste - so beware that could ruin your meal. Worth a mention we spend quite a few hours one week evening but they never once tried to rush us out or to consumer more, much appreciated when in London more often then not restaurants will force you out after two hours. Will definitely go back to this cute little cafe and try the other branches!

    Thai Iced Tea and Thai Iced Coffee Black
    Priyanka R.

    When you got a Thai craving, you just gotta get, it if you know what I mean! The location is perfect for lunch or dinner in the midst of a shopping trip just off of Carnaby Street, and although not directly visible, a little searching gets you to the front doorstep of this gem! This little Thai joint is what happy things are made of! Although one could categorize it as modern Thai, the food is what really matters right? Upon entering, it vibes a modern minimalist Ikea meets San Francisco tech thinking lounge. The staff was friendly upon entry and seated us immediately! We were seating on the ground level which had a cozy atmosphere! We were four all together and decided to share a bunch of appetizers and have our own entree's in addition. Here is what we ordered: Appetizers: 1. Chicken Wings - were run off the mill chicken wings, were slightly overtired but still good! (Rating: 4 stars) 2. Crispy Prawns - amazing crisp on the outside and melted in our mouth from the inside. Went incredibly well with the sweet chili sauce. Best crispy prawns I have ever had (Rating: 5 stars) 3. Thai Calamari - although small portion, the calamari was well cooked and were fresh, highly recommend (Rating: 5 stars) Overall comment: Go for the Crispy Prawns and Thai Calamari.... but skip the chicken wings! Entrees: 1. Drunken Noodles - I ordered this to start with and was heavily disappointed as it was slightly overcooked drenched in soy sauce and was cooked with way too much basil sauce. After a few spoons I gave up and politely asked to return the dish. The waiter offered to bring me the other dish and I ended up trying the Pad Thai from another in our party and decided to order it to be on the safe side. Would not recommend, even though the chicken was tender and cooked well. (Rating: 2 stars) 2. Pad Thai - regular ole pad thai, but delicious nonetheless, the flavors, veggies and chicken were made well and ingredients were fresh. (Rating: 4 stars) 3. Salmon Red Curry - incredible! Salmon melted in your mouth and was made to perfection. The red curry was a perfect compliment to the to the spice and the Thai Herbs (Rating: 5 stars 4. Grilled Chicken with Lemongrass - unique dish, and the lemongrass balanced the grilled chicken perfectly. The Marinade really stood out in flavor and texture, and the spicy dipping sauce with the steamed veggies also complimented the dish very well (Rating: 5 stars) Overall comment: Try the unique dishes on the menu, especially the Salmon Red Curry and the Grilled chicken with lemongrass! I would overlook the Pad Thai and avoid the Drunken Noodles if possible! The Thai Iced that I ordered was also scrumptious and wasn't too sweet! (5 stars) The Thai Iced Coffee that was ordered was good, but a bit on the stronger side. (4 stars) The staff was highly accommodating and friendly! Could not fault them for anything. Even with the returned dish was done politely and they were very nice about it! Price was reasonable in the area of Soho. (Rating: 5 stars) As a weird side note: I just want to mention that the coat situation is a bit awkward because some tables have jacket hooks behind them while others do not. There is also a section at the back of the ground level with multiple hooks that you can hang your jackets which each jacket shared a hook with multiple other jackets, was a bit odd and cumbersome to find your jacket at the end. The jacket situation arises because of the stand-alone stools with no backs. Easy remedy in my opinion, the restaurant should really switch those out for chair with backs or at least put jacket hook options at every table (not just a few). Great Thai in a great location! Would definitely recommend!

    Beef Salad, so big !

I don't think I'll be back, and I wouldn't recommend this unless you were extremely uncultured and didn't know what real Asian food was like. Non-Asian folks may love this place - so take other reviews with a grain of salt (I personally am shocked at how highly rated this place is). The missus rates it lower than me (3/5 from me), so I give this place her rating cuz we were both... very sad about this. Missus and I showed up at 4pm on a Saturday in May. It was hella busy when we arrived, but quickly emptied out after we started getting our food. This place claims its Thai but they only have the spice part down... I doubt this is actually authentic. Maybe it's Southeast Asian inspired?? If anyone else knows please comment. The portion sizes are predictably small, and I don't think we ordered enough for two to be full, even though it was quite pricey (given the portion size). We ordered the rump cap, curry, clay pot, and a lager to drink. Nothing was that memorable - the rump cap was well made but the curry definitely made us question the cultural authenticity of this place. I wouldn't order the curries here - the meat dishes seem decent though. The ambiance in here is definitely loud, since sound carries - any conversation gets amplified and you can hear every word - even the annoying laughs or coughs are at volume 11 (so try to keep your voices down!). There's a background music track but it's faint and you can only barely hear it when anyone is talking. The restaurant layout is very good for communal dining, but really bad for intimate settings. If I were a dating man (I'm not), I wouldn't bring a date here. The service is also extremely slow - from when we ordered to when we got all of our food was roughly 45 min - which, given how hungry we were, and how empty the place was - inexcusable and really disappointing. Note: mandatory 12.5% service charge on top of your meal.

    Food was excellent. Unique flavours and very well priced. Service was also very good, great…read morerecommendations. Lovely vibe in the restaurant.
