So I have been coming to this restaurant for at least 10 years now and never reviewed. This last Sunday I came with 3 of my girlfriends when we were working in London and was very happy they were not busy as we we're seated immediately and the service was exceptional. We had 4 different appetizers and wine and 4 entrees all of which were excellent.  glass noodles with shrimp was a favorite as well as the spring roll appetizer.

Taste: I had the WORST tom yum soup here in my life
Portion: The portion is quite small too (I'm only 42kg who usually considered by my friend that I eat too little).
Service: Not rude but not good
Environment: it's quite clean so its the only good thing about this restaurant when compared to other attributes (one extra star to this)

Great Ambience of a small local place - low key and friendly with great service and the food smelled so good as we entered the restaurant we couldn't wait to try it. A bit spicy but we liked the kick. 
Ordered the appetizer sampler - I'd stick to the Satay next time as that was the best one. The green curry was awesome as was the Pad Si Ew and would recommend both dishes. 
Glad we could find and visit this this place as our Hotel was close by.

I went there with my wife last week while in vacation. I was there back in November 2019. The food is good and had a lot of flavor. I very much enjoyed the basil stir fry with chicken. I would definitely recommend that! My wife enjoyed the dumplings. The service was good and the staff pleasant. 

There are two downsides. The restaurant is small and very loud. The other is the portion sizes are a little small. I found that I needed an appetizer in order to be full. 

I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of Thai food.

This is pretty nice. I don't particularly like Thai food but this restaurant's atmosphere was relaxing so I tried a few things and it was great! Definitely recommend but remember to get food to share- it's better that way!

Good place in London for thai food. Cheap prices also.

The service was very kind. 

We had the pad thai and the red curry with coconut steamed rice. Food was good.

Not a trendy/fancy restaurant, no need to dress up.

The perfect weekday restaurant to go with family and/or friends.

Very good food.  Be sure and have a reservation.  If you go at 5 or 6pm it may look empty but they often won't be able to see you if they are fully booked starting at 7pm.  The food was very good though, had the pad see ew.  Good flavor and portion.

Great food and great service. Very attentive staff even on a busy night. Came in on a Wednesday night without a reservation and they were able to seat us immediately. Would definitely recommend.

I enjoyed a fresh, delicious meal here while recovering from jet lag. The staff was kind and accommodating when I requested broccoli rather than tofu. Although I didn't have a reservation, they fit me in letting me know when they would need the table so I could eat there instead of ordering takeout which I appreciated.

Listen, lunch around Baker Street can get a bit dicey. Long ques. Fast food. Crowded seats, you name it -- it's pretty stressful and not terribly enjoyable. 

So when I find a spot that's a bit tucked away, offers comfortable table service, isn't jam packed to the gills AND has a lunch special!? Well, I'm pretty happy. 

Set lunch: starter (or soup) + main for £10.95. Or, you can do appetizer + soup + main for just a few quid more. The best part of this is that it flies out of the kitchen. Easy in and out in an hour for lunch breakers!

My selections were the Tom Kha mushroom soup + Cashew Chicken stir-fry. Both were quite good and I was impressed with the portion size for the main given it was a lunch deal. Very filling. the Tom Kha was good, though I'd likely opt to add in chicken or something a bit more substantial, a bunch of bobbing mushrooms isn't terribly appealing or filling as it turns out. Though I do love that coconut! 

Service was just fine. No complaints. Quick and efficient. 

Will most definitely be back when craving some Thai and needing a respite from the office drones and chains of Baker Street.
