David Thompson delivers again. This time with a street food vibe. The lamb ribs are essential.

The place looks great, seating was good, the host was very nice. We had to wait abit to get served but once we did our orders came fast. The problem with the service was everytime we wanted something we had to try and flag down a waiter. No one came to ask how everything was or if we need anything. We ordered a bottle of wine but the bottles are kept by the till so we had to rely on a waiter seeing our glasses were empty to get refil. We had Thai green curry which was nice, Sweet pork jowl which was not good. The dish is basically pieces of pork cooked in a dark sweet sauce but some of the pieces tasted bitter, dry and hard. We had octopus as a starter which was very nice and some spring rolls which were okay. The portions were on small side and the food was hit and miss. When we were done they cleared the table of plates but didnt wipe it so there were bits of food on there whilst we finished our drinks. The bill came up £133, which to seemed alot of the level of food and service we got.

Good service and the food tasted good but the portions were pathetic. The chicken curry had 2 small pieces of chicken in it. The only beers they had available were cans of Chang - nothing on draught.

Terrible service with rude waitress. Food came out at completely different times, with one pork dish on its own going cold for 30 mins waiting for the rice. Extremely expensive given the experience, although the food was nice. I had eaten my entire main before the rice came out, despite chasing it twice.

Their website says they have a testing menu for 45£, but apparently they don't anymore, and it's actually 75£, but they didn't even offer me that or tell me what that includes. Went in thinking I would get to sample an array of the menu 45£. Take that off the website or update it if it isn't offered. Probably would've considered doing the 75£ option cause the meal ended up not being far off with drinks. Service could've been better in accommodating that. Good food, but thought this would be better. Got one "spring roll" and one grilled squid as an app, and both were pretty okay. Then got beef green curry, which was pretty mild and not as flavorful as I thought, but the meal saver was the crispy spicy pork. That was an all-time great dish, would've been disappointed with the meal if it wasn't for that.

The food is amazing, feels authentically Thai. The service is decent but not attentive enough. Wanted another drink but did not order in the end as I couldn’t catch the attention of any of the service staff.

Loud music. Thai noodles had no flavor or broth and the 4 small shrimp were way over cooked and not pealed. Spicy fried pork was very good.
