I ate here last week on a Thursday evening with three other people. We were sat immediately, and the service was prompt, efficient and helpful for my friend who hasn't really eaten thai food before and wasn't sure what to order. After quite a lot of deciding, I had the pad thai, which was excellent. We had a few starters on the side, which were all amazing - especially the vegetable spring rolls and thai fishcakes.

The restaurant is not very posh, but it is friendly, warm and pleasant. There are tables outside so we sat there and had a cigarette after the meal which was great as it was a really nice evening.

I would definitely eat here again, I'm looking forward to having an excuse to return.

The location is great and the food I think is “fairly” reasonably priced, the portion that I got for the price, well put it this way I honestly don’t think it was worth it. The portion you get for your money is too small, not that I am expecting extremely large portions, as this is London, but that was just very small. The service is the worst. I thought Thailand is supposed to be the land of the smile! Where was it then?. Not even half a smile. I always tip well when I get good service but I was so upset about the meal and service that my friend paid for it all and didn’t even thought of tipping. Maybe the was the waiter we got was having a bad day or we chose a bad day to eat there but it did not come across well. The plus side is that the taste of the food was ok.. the 5 pieces of small strips I had was well cooked. I would give this place 5 out of 10 as the location was good but there are other Thai restaurants in that area which offers better food, value for money and service with a smile.

No way! They're service was v gd- I've known that restaurant to be there for years but only went in for the first time the other day, as I never thought that Hoxton Sq SE Asian food could beat the Vietnamese restaurants nearby- I was proven v wrong- I am a Thai food freak and the food there is excellent, and v reasonably priced. I have introduced a few friends to it already and they were similarly impressed! Will be going for the 3rd time tonight, this month! Yum!

Although the loaction is great and the food fairly reasonably priced, the service is the worst i have ever had. I was firstly "served" by the rudest man ever rushed through my meal and tutted at for not immediately knowing what to order. I decided to be philosophical and not take it so personally once i observed him treating other diners equally badly. Thinking this may have just been him on a bad day, i have returned but his colleagues clearly went to the same (lack of) charm school. As the only diners in on sunday luchtime we were ignored and when we asked to order were told he was busy, this was simply not the case. We proceeded to order and this waiter became argumentative and as the food is distinctly average, i will be voting with my feet. i much prefer the bar that does thai food round the corner- service with a smile, cheap and good food.
