About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Neighborhood gem

Our Aim: To expand the palates of London folk when it comes to Thai food.

For years, Thai food in London Has been dumbed-down and dull. Typically rich and sweet, and served out of chain restaurants and supermarket aisles, like boring and bland Pad Thai or Green Chicken Curry.

It's everything we stand against.

Our flavours come from Northern Thailand - Chiang Mai - which are entirely different, punchier and much more complex, with international notes from neighbouring countries Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and China.

I was a little disappointed by this place. Unfortunately the food was too salty, the portion sizes quite small, particularly the rice, and generally didn’t live up to expectations. There are much better more authentic Thai places in London than this place. Sorry to leave a negative review!

Good nice little place to go for Asian food cravings. The food is really tasty and the place is lovely. The only bugging thing is that we got served pretty late and still we have been asked to leave the table for a certain time- when we were still eating and half way through our dinner. Hopefully was just a one off. Otherwise I recommend !

Thanks so much for the review and feedback. For a table of 2 we do operate a 1hr 15mins turnover time (which is communicated upon booking), and must ensure this is monitored on busy nights, such as Friday and Saturday to ensure bookings don't over-run. We did have a large booking due after your sitting. We gave you a 15mins 'warning' before the end of your meal to ensure you weren't too rushed. Hope to see you again soon.

Great food, though the pork relish was a little too hot to handle (I was warned, but woah!). Nice cocktails too. The restaurant is a little cramped, which may have contributed to the high noise levels. All in all, a very nice meal.

Absolutely delicious food and friendly service. Nice to try some more unusual Thai dishes, particularly enjoyed the curried noodle soup, so flavoursome! Will definitely be back for more :-)
