"It was a nice afternoon and I was craving for some asian starters and I came across of this restaurant “real thai”. The vegetable springrolls was really nice, I just hope they will start serving it with a thai vinegar deeping sauce instead of the sweet chili sauce. The calamari was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, I enjoyed the food accompanied by a gin and tonic. Service was okay, serving the food and not checking on the guest if how’s everything is really a downfall. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and relaxing as well, I’ll come back to try the main dishes next time!"

"We went to a restaurant for the first time and the food was really authentic. We tried Thai Boat Noodles and they were amazing. My friend from Burma really loved them too. We also had prawn on toast and prawns in blankets, which tasted so fresh and really like prawns. The service was great – the waiters and waitresses were professional and friendly. It had a good vibe. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for tasty food after shopping. It's not far from Westfield. Also, for those seeking halal options, the restaurant does have a halal certificate, which is fantastic!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"One of the authentic Thai food that closed to real Thai like their restaurant name. Its one of the hottest day, the indoor is a little hot, could’ve open the French window to let the air out. Anyways we are lucky to get an outdoor seats. Food are always good, although this time the crispy pork dish is slightly salty, and quite spicy which brings the real Thai experience. The satay prawns are great, perfectly seasoned. Nothing to complain. The Penang curry is rich in coconut and nut flavors, brings a different aroma of this dish. The singha beer are very fresh and cold which is the best for summer. They are slightly short of staff, but the lady serves us is trying her best and always smile to us. It’s not a problem for us, and it’s nice to wind down in a lazy Saturday."

"Friendly people, good vibes and food was amazing! I had boat noodle and it was sooo good. It’s so rare to find boat noodle in London let alone a good one. Definitely worth a try. Mango sticky rice is also good and cheap compared to other places and bonus point it comes with ice cream! And their crysanthemum tea is definitely my favourite drink. Will definitely come again soon :)"

"I came. I got take away. I felt happy. Near perfect papaya salad - crunchy and fresh, zesty with that lingering sweet and spicy flavour. Balanced, bold and punchy. The pad see ew was a contrast with its sweet and rich sauce, with nicely cooked noodles. The red curry was also delightful, albeit perhaps too much veggie compared to chicken ratio. Service was warm and accommodating, exemplifying real Thai hospitality. Hey, I'm not a fan of the name. Seems simplistic. But there is nothing simple about the complex flavours here. Will come back to do a proper sit down."
