  “Overall good Thai restaurant. I had a lovely experience at Phakoon Thai Restaurant, with friendly, attentive service that made us feel very welcome throughout the afternoon. The standout dish was definitely the Lamb Shank Massaman Curry. The lamb was beautifully cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavour. I would highly recommend ordering it. The Morning Glory (listed under a different name on the menu) was also excellent, fresh, perfectly cooked, and one of my favourite dishes of the meal. On the other hand, the Som Tum (papaya salad) was sweeter than I expected. It tasted more like a westernised version than the authentic, punchy salads I’ve enjoyed in Thailand. The Tom Kha was pleasant, but lacked the depth, balance, and aromatic flavour that I usually associate with a great Tom Kha soup. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. The atmosphere and service were excellent, and there are some genuinely fantastic dishes on the menu. While the food wasn’t quite as authentically Thai as I had hoped, I’d happily return, especially for that outstanding Lamb Shank Massaman Curry.”

  “It's a great sign that it's so busy, even on a Wednesday. The food is excellent, some of the best Thai we've had in London. The mixed starter was way better than others we've had elsewhere. The donut prawn cakes were amazing. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.”

  “This is a Thai restaurant I went with my dad, and I can honestly say it's a fantastic Thai restaurant in the heart of Earlsfield. The food is authentically Thai and very flavorful.Tom Yum seafood soup was perfectly spicy and well-balanced, and a generous portion for two people. The fried shrimp cakes with their sweet dipping sauce were delicious and complemented the other dishes perfectly. The stir-fried kale with crispy pork had the exact same level of spiciness and crispness as authentically Thai food. And the stir-fried liver was flavorful and perfectly seasoned, just the way I like it – not too salty at all. The service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the decor was a stunning blend of traditional Thai and contemporary styles. Thank you for such a wonderful meal!☺️✨”

  “A great authentic Thai in the heart of Earlsfield. The flavours are authentic and packed with strong taste. The seafood noodles were well balanced in heat and flavourful and the green curry has a nice creamy sweet flavour to compliment the rest of the meal. The spicy salad was authentically Thai level spicy and not the watered down version you get at most Thai places in London. The egg omelette was fluffy and tasty and had a good rich flavour. The service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was typically colourful in the Thai restaurant kinda way.”

  “We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Phakoon in Earlsfield. I booked it to celebrate my mother’s 74th birthday with my siblings, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. From the moment we arrived, the service was genuinely friendly, attentive, and made the occasion feel special. The food was outstanding. For starters, the crab cakes were perfectly balanced and full of flavour, the soft-shell crab was cooked beautifully, and the calamari was light, tender, and honestly amazing. Every dish felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The mains were just as impressive — beautifully presented, rich in flavour, and clearly made with care. You could really tell the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Overall, a fantastic meal, great atmosphere, and excellent service. We all left happy, full, and already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommended for both special occasions and a proper treat meal.”

  “We chose this restaurant as a place to meet after a month long trip to Thailand. our group wanted to reminisce about our trip and enjoy some authentic food. This place was perfect! Reasonable prices, lovely decor and tasty food. I drove over an hour to gey there and would do again. We arrived at 5pm on a Friday evening when it was quiet but by 9pm it was very busy. I can see why this is popular. Great service and lovely food. we will be back! Also mango sticky rice was 10/10.”

  “Finally, a place that gets "hot" and "spicy" right. I specifically asked for spicy spicy and not British spicy (no offence intended here) for my takeaway order and they delivered beautifully. This place is run by a warm, friendly family. Good service, good food! I had the curry with rice and absolutely loved it! The other flavours aren't buried underneath all the heat from the chilies. Well balanced, would definitely recommend this place. The ambience looks good so hope to dine at the restaurant some day :)”
