Customer Review Summary
Pad Thai is the dish reviewers raise most, called spot on, with one takeaway diner describing a huge portion, plenty of bean sprouts and carrots, and chilli flakes on the side giving just the right heat. Close behind are the pineapple fried rice and egg fried rice, while calamari, chicken satay, corn cakes, fish cakes, pad see ew and grilled chicken with papaya salad each earn a mention. One reviewer singles out the chicken wings and banana fritters. Several describe the flavours as authentic, fresh and balanced, and one notes the dishes were not overly sweet and the chicken was moist. Service is called friendly and attentive, and two reviewers say staff handled allergies well. The one complaint comes from a takeaway diner who found the pad thai a little expensive for a lunch. Regulars call the cooking consistent, and one parent describes staff removing nuts for their daughter and remaking a dish after a mix-up so it was completely safe.

“Food was amazing! Great service lovely fresh food, only wish it was busier! Couldn’t recommend more!”
- Will Balsam
“What a fabulous little restaurant. The service was brilliant, the staff were really friendly and very accommodating amd were really on the ball when it came to food allergies as one of our party had a prawn intolerance. They made us feel really welcome and we're very accommodating. The food itself was excellent, the calamari was a particular favourite and the pad thai was spot on. Will definitely be heading back when next in Kingston. Keep up the great work.”

It's always a pleasure supporting a thriving local business that clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend if you're in or around the Kingston area.”

“The best Thai food I’ve ever had in London! The flavors were so authentic that it honestly felt like I was in Thailand. Every dish was packed with rich spices, perfect balance, and incredible freshness. From the aroma to the taste, everything was absolutely spot on. Definitely a place I would come back to again and again, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving real Thai food in London.”
