However, the quality of the food was very poor. The flavors were somewhat decent but the vegetables were over cooked and tired. The tempura was a sea of fat with soggy vegetables and the beef and vegetable with cashews was inedible.

Harrumph!! I had Tom Yum soup, it had whole, white, English mushrooms in it. They were jauntily bobbing around every time I dipped my spoon into it. Noooo! Green curry had perhaps two coriander leaves in it, some sliced courgette and rather over-cooked carrot slices. It was creamy and tasted of Thai curry; there was chicken (I'd ordered that) and some slivers of lemongrass. It wasn't a patch on the stuff I ate in a grass hut in Thailand 2 weeks ago. I've had great Thai food in London before. I'm not sure what's gone wrong at O's? Pity

I adore this place…read more It doesn't matter how amazing you are if I can't afford you. Food to me will never be worth it. You can drizzle this and foam that, but all I want is a good meal, good service and not to feel like I've been ripped off. On the Mrs recommendation we popped in here for dinner one night. Not having a lot of experience with Thai food at the time (aside from a Thai curry here and there in random pubs - what's with that trend) so I was a bit sceptical. The restaurant is canteen style. Individual tables but with bright simple furniture and accent pieces on the walls. This place is busy, but not overbearingly so. They offer a take away service so there were lots of people ordering at the counter at the back to take away that Thai goodness. We started with Tempura, which was divine. Second best I've ever had after Feng Sushi on the South Bank. We also had a selection of veggie nibbles which were all really interesting. For mains I had Pad Thai and she a red Thai curry. Both were gorgeous. Large, generous portions and simply but pretty presentation. There was a lovely woman serving us. She spoke barely any English but was delightful, attentive and had a warm and welcoming smile. Safe to say she's always had good tips from us. The best thing of all was the bill. Starters, mains and drinks all at around £22. I may be cheap, but the food was not. All fantastic quality and amazing value.

Finally went to the right one last night and ordered Yen Ta Fo, couldn't I found this dish (flat rice noodle in pink soup) in London! The food and the drink were good and authentic, very good service as well. One more thing, there were a table of 5 kept making a lot noises, clapping, shouting, laughing... Obviously the manager noticed that and went to their table and pointed to the "no noise" sign, good for him!

Khanom Krok is a hidden gem inside Borough Market! They were a pleasant surprise during our visit…read more Their stand is near the giant steps seating area. There are also some tabletops near the vendor. The second Mink saw them, I knew we were going to grab food from here. Everyone was friendly and spoke Thai but also very good English. You can dine there or get to go boxes. We ended up ordering Pad Kra Pow with pork. Portion wise, it was perfect and leaves you content. They didn't take long to have our order out. The box smelled great but the taste was AROI MAK (delicious)! It tasted better than places back home in Hawai'i and the price is so inexpensive in comparison. It's not Thailand cheap but it was extremely economical compared to our usual standards. If you're craving Thai and plan to visit Borough Market or nearby, you need to check this spot out!

It was the best thing I ate during my trip to London. I couldn't stop thinking about it. And finally I was able to make my return here. The coconut pancakes are still delicious But they didn't give me a fresh batch. That was the difference maker. But it was still amazing nonetheless. I will request it fresh next time I come again. I love these things

Their twist is to create a Zaffrani chai (I.e saffron tea) and it is delicious! If you're looking for a good authentic Desi chai or are up for trying chai with saffron in it, head this way. They also seem to have a lot of Indianized sandwiches and burgers like tandoori chicken sandwich, chicken tikka sandwich etc. Prices seem reasonable, chai is great. What more do you need?

The ones I went to are right next to Earl's Court train station in South Kensington and the other one is by the London Eye river bank. The sandwiches here are so healthy but delicious and not as boring as the healthy stuff does. I like the chicken and bacon baguettes as well as the chicken and slice boiled egg baguettes in the cold section. They have a very good flavor. The açaí berries and pomegranate yogurt will finish up your lunch in a very positive way and you can power up to enjoy your day in a very beautiful and busy city of London.

Prices are very reasonable which is hard to come by for something moderately healthy in London. I was staying at a hotel a block away from here and ate here twice - once for a quick lunch of the go and once for sit in breakfast. I love their yogurt bowls with fresh fruit and granola. I tried the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich and it was leaps and bounds better than McDo or wherever else - very fresh and satisfying. My husband and I both had breakfast sammies and yogurts + a banana for £10. Staff were upbeat and smiling both times I visited.

Delicious dim sum for the discerning diner…read more If you prefer "clean eating" and do what you can to avoid processed food with additives and preservatives, then you'll love Naturally Chinese. No MSG! Special diet? Plenty of vegetarian and Gluten Free (GF) options! You can relax and order with confidence that your meal will taste good and be good for you too. I've made at least three visits, including today's and my favorite items (all ordered as GF) have been: - Steamed Crystal Prawn Dumplings - Prawn and Chive Dumplings - Spicy Mixed Vegetable Dumplings (love the peanuts!) - Taro and Minced Pork Croquettes (crisp and flaky -- possibly my favorite thing here) - Fishcakes (Cuttlefish and Coriander) -- bright flavors - Turnip cake The staff is friendly and the ambiance is peaceful with lots of natural light. On a relaxed weekend, Naturally Chinese is worth the trip to Surbiton. It's in a charming area, just a short walk from the train station. Already looking forward to my next visit. :)

I'm always on the hunt for a new dim sum place & when a mate told me a new place opened locally in…read moreSurbiton I had to investigate & was pleasantly surprised. It's located at the corner of the old Yum Cha restaurant site, ironically they didn't used to serve Dim Sum! The decor is quite modern, but too sterile & western for my taste, but that's my opinion. The menu is the type where you tick the items we ordered, Prawn cheung fun, fried dough cheung fun, chickens feet in black bean sauce, beef honeycomb, custard egg bun, egg tarts, cuttlefish cakes, fried taro croquettes, fried won ton, har gau, siu mai, steamed ribs in black bean, Vietnamese spring rolls, crispy noodles with shredded pork, steam beef balls & congee with pork & preserved egg....lots I know, but there were 6 of us! Stand out dishes were the beef honeycomb, egg tarts & taro croquettes, all were freshly made & came to the table hot! They are also proud to be MSG free, thumbs up to that. All in all a good experience, great value, the staff were friendly & food was authentic, a rare find in the leafy suburbs of Surrey. My only worry is the demographics of the clientele in the area, I hope many others will find this neighbourhood gem.
