    Good food, only 1 waitress for the busy restaurant, she was doing her best with a smile & courteous, but management needs to employ more staff, as for 1 cocktail alone had to wait for 55mins. This is my 2nd visit, will go again. Noise level too high. Food is good. If the noise level, service could be improved restaurant will excellent!

    An excellent Thai lunch at David Thompson’s Long Chim in Soho. Authentic, spicy and very tasty. The set lunch menu at £25 is a bargain. Highly recommended.

    Amazing food with great flavours. You basically travel to Thailand for a couple of hrs and come back

    Long Chim Rupert Street, London – More Heat Than Heart: offers a stylish setting, but the overall experience left us underwhelmed. The music was uncomfortably loud—so much so that it made conversation difficult, which may have been intentional but didn’t suit our evening. Three of us ordered chicken dishes that were mediocre and lacking depth. Only one dish delivered on flavour and spice. While the menu features plenty of spicy options, there’s a noticeable lack of flavourful dishes that don’t rely on chili burn. We expected more variety in Thai cuisine that offered complexity without overwhelming heat. The mango sticky rice was a highlight, but the tapioca dessert was heavy on corn and felt unbalanced. And to top it off—no coffee on offer. A very average experience overall.

    Stunning starters and curry but extremely underwhelming noodles and prawns. Prawns were unseasoned and of poor quality.

    Sadly the food was sub-par, and therefore the experience was a disappointment. Not a patch on Speedboat Bar.

    The food was very disappointing, especially considering that Chef David Thompson is behind it. The portion sizes are a disgrace and the flavours are average. For example I order the mince chicken curry and it was an almost task to find even a particle of chicken in that pathetic portion that I was served. The service was fine but I would not recommend this restaurant even to my worst enemy. Going to an average Thai restaurant would be much better and definitely much cheaper !!!!!
