    Pork Dumpling sauce was amazing!
    Shaina R.

    Food looked better than it actually tasted. If my review was based on how the food was presented it would definitely get more stars however, I just was not that impressed. The restaurant itself was also very nice. It was nicely decorated. Definitely a more modern approach rather than your typical Thai restaurant. The tables, chairs and lighting were quite the scene. I ended up having to eat here when trying to go to Lemongrass down the street (another Thai restaurant on High Street) was closed. A local told us where there was another Thai restaurant town so I walked over. I ordered the Thom Yum Noodle which I was quite upset about. My sister and I wanted to share this dish. The menu said nothing about containing peanuts. My sister is allergic to peanuts. When the server brought out the dish and when I asked if there was peanuts she said yes and that it was just on top. She offered to scoop out the peanuts which was a kind gesture but it would've been nice to know that the dish contained peanuts. (The traditional Thai dish does not contain peanuts) The rest of the food was mediocre. I did enjoy that they were "tapa" styled meaning smaller portions so we were able to try different things on the menu. We tried the chicken yellow curry, beef with lime and chili salad, salt and pepper Squid and pork dumplings. The pork dumplings were the best among all the dishes! The sauce it came with was quite superb. I much prefer Lemongrass down the street but maybe I just ordered the wrong things on the menu?!?

    Nice place. Nice service. Food is good but needs a little more Muslim friendly dishes.

    A well recommended "smart" Thai restaurant with delicious mid-priced food…read moreThai Secret is undoubtedly one of the best Thai restaurants in the Surbiton/Kingston area. The food is delicious, the portions are generous and the service is friendly (you can even practice your Thai should you wish, but the staff are all fluent in English of course). Starter wise, the soups can be a little mild occasionally but if you ask then they are happy to make the heat more authentic for you. The other starters are mostly the usual that you'd expect to find, but the Tuna Carpaccio deserves a mention, being extremely tasty and a break from the norm. Mains are again what you'd expect to find, but are executed really well. The Pad Kra Pao is always good and, like the other stir fries, is available containing a good choice of meats and veg. A nice touch is that you can have most dishes with pork (which I find is often the best for Thai food) and even with minced pork, which I'm informed is even more like traditional cuisine. The Pad See Ew noodles are also exceptionally tasty, with the noodles and vegetables cooked slightly al dente. I haven't tried the Pad Thai noodles but they look very good indeed. The restaurant is more "smart" than the average Thai restaurant, as they often tend to be either sparse or a wooden clad affair. Thai Secret is tiled in dark colours and mood lighting and has a sophisticated feel to it. There is a good selection of wines too. I'm really glad I tried the place on a whim some time ago. It has certainly become my Thai restaurant of choice in the area. Highly recommended!

    This is THE best Thai food in southwest London, and possibly in all of London. I've been going…read moresince it opened a few years ago and as someone who has eaten A LOT of Thai food over the years, I can testify that their food is incredibly delicious. We've probably tried 10-15 dishes by now and everything we've eaten has been excellent from the classic green curry to the pad Thai to the pad see eew. My husband is a vegetarian- they do a great job of accommodating- huge menu that doesn't put fish sauce in everything so there's a lot more choice than at most other places. My absolute favourite is the crispy duck. If I could, I would eat that dish every day. It is divine. Perfect mix of crispy salty sweet. Service is excellent. Atmosphere is formal but cozy. Make sure to book in advance though. It's a small restaurant and they're often full even on weekdays.

    I was skeptical but my friend has a pretty good eye for picking quality restaurants so I trusted…read morehis gut. Plus, I really love mango sticky rice and hoped that they'd have it on the menu. Sadly, they did not but I understood the explanation. We ordered corn fritters, vegetable tempura, hand fried spring rolls, green curry with tofu, pad Thai, and a Tiger beer. It was good. I'm glad it was so good because it is not fast. Which means someone is actually cooking the food. Which we need to appreciate more. So go there when you're with someone whose company you enjoy and you aren't in a hurry. Sit. Have a beer or two and wait. It's coming and it'll be good. It's also good because it isn't TOO anything. My friend wanted more seasoning and asked if it would be rude to ask for salt or something. I decided that it would. This is a family spot. "You go tell him his wife's food isn't to your liking", I joked while savoring my dish. This man wanted to ask for salt or (gasp) soy sauce(!) and he had eaten the decorative vegetables on the plate. It was good solid Thai food. The server was kind and celebrated my sloppy attempts at speaking Thai. The spot is not what you'd expect, it's homey, the ceiling and walls covered in standard cultural decor but it gave speakeasy. Like a place the mob would frequent. Quiet, comfortable, private, and low traffic. This should he a neighborhood favorite.

    This is honestly the BEST Thai restaurant we have EVER been to. You MUST try it. My favourite is…read morethe Green Thai curry and chicken satai. Service is a bit slow, but the food definitely worth the wait. Also, its a bit out of the way, but easy to drive and plenty of parking near by.
