One of my fave Thai meals of all time…read more We got the set (tem toh) menu: 35 pounds for a bunch of food (hard to say exactly how many courses, but we were stuffed at the end). Started with crab and mango in a lemongrass-flavored sauce, with rice cakes for dipping. Then chicken skewers, accompanied by duck in a hot sauce and sticky rice. Then garlic-flavored pak Choi and and prawn curry with a fish sauce. Then a coconut cream sauce with (maybe?) ground pork. It was hard to keep track because of all the deliciousness....aaaand because we had multiple Muay Thai kick cocktails. Yum!

How are you supposed to order when you want basically everything on the menu?…read more We rolled in with a party of 6 at 10:20pm -- right before closing -- and they still welcomed us in and didn't rush us at all. The vibe was great, a little chaotic in a fun way, and the staff was genuinely kind and fun to be around. Honestly, this place is a must try. The food was so good I didn't even take pictures, but I recommend the chicken wings, tom yum, and ORDER ROTI! But everything was amazing.

This restaurant had some of the best Thai food I've had in my life (and I'm from New York and have…read morebeen to Thailand). The portions are decently sized but I highly recommend going with a group and trying a little bit of everything. Regrettably, they don't have desserts, but our waitress was so sweet and put a candle in a shot glass of pina colada for our birthday girl. She gave us great service and recommendations all night. The restaurant itself was very lowkey and trendy. You can dress casually or dress up if you're feeling it.

I was a bit skeptical of their paper container and ordering system, but once I had a sip on that soup... I was in noodle heaven! I've never been to Thailand to compare if this was an authentic Thai food, but I saw some Thai girls eating there and also heard the employees speaking Thai, so I'm pretty sure they are as authentic as I could get in London. I had too many fake Asian-fusion food in London so I was glad to know. I went back there again a few days later but they were closed for Easter holiday. I was so bummed. I'm definitely going back there again when I'm in London again!! Please stay there forever.

Hole in the wall Authentic as hell Cheap and friendly Specialist in a few key dishes Delicious and spicy too Just a few chairs and a table At lunch they do take out lunches of authentic Thai curries on rice and sell Thai snacks and sodas off the shelf. Think amazing green, red and massaman curries for a few pounds on your lunch break from the city. After 3pm the order of the day is BOAT NOODLES. Previously impossible to get this done right in London and now available cheap and easily here and just so perfect too. Their normal boat noddles are simply amazing but for a truly authentic version (if you know what I mean) you'll have to ask hard. Send me a message if you're confused and I'll explain off the record. It's not really necessary as its already better than any Thai noodle soup elsewhere in town without the extra unadvertised ingredients. In fact it's the one thing that can surpass pho and it surpasses the best kingsland road pho easily. You've been told!

So…read morefar, the only complaint I have is that I can only eat it on Sundays, which leaves me to crave my Pad Thai omelette like crazy the other 6-days of the week. It all happen on a beautiful sunny Sunday, when my very good friend brought me here and said: "I bet I can show you one of the best meals you will ever have", and I love a challenge so I said "let's do this". The lines were huge, probably bigger than any other stall, but I decided to wait and try that, since my friend couldn't stop whining about how good it was. MAN, I'm so glad I waited, and now I will wait as long as I need to. The Pad Thai here is incredibly yummy. You can choose to eat with chicken, meat, shrimp, tofu or vegan. They prepare both the pad thai and the omelette (if you wish/want to have it) right in front of you, ask how spice you want and sprinkle a bit of green onions and peanuts on top. You can get an order of veggie spring rolls (not very Thai) to go with your meal, but they Pad Thai itself is so big I don't recommend it. Meal is cheap, and this will be the best spent 5 pounds of your life.

How have I not reviewed Home yet?…read more This is my go-to vegan eatery in London, based on portion size, taste and the quality of ingredients. The price is also fair. There was a time during which my husband and I lived on Home; we'd order it for delivery 5-6 times a week. He would rotate between different flavours, the pad Thai, the jungle curry; everything is good. I confess though, I am a spicy 3s addict, and find it hard to order anything else. When extra hungry we'd order a side portion of vegetable spring rolls. Sometimes we'd get sent some vegan 'prawn' crackers too. The vegan chick'n is made from chickpeas, though tastes nothing like it. The texture is perfect, the sauces are all well-balanced and home made. The vegetables are never over cooked. The 3s and several other dishes come with brown rice. I've eaten in the Boxpark before, though I'd recommend avoiding the weekend/evening as it can be loud and crowded. My only issue with Home is its name--it's near impossible to Google/Yelp a place called Home.

(My excuse...Thai was requested, we were all very hungry, and this was the first thing we saw off the underground) With that out of the way, walking Shoreditch in the evening before Christmas was a nice evening out. Lots of stalls, small shops, no chain stores. A ton of small inviting vegan restaurants. Very different from the Piccadilly/Kensington areas. I would consider staying in Shoreditch on a (hopefully) future trip to England.

The wife and I got the prix fixe meal for 2 to get a overall taste of their offerings. The soup was meh. Crying tiger beef was seasoned well but cooked poorly - a bit tough to eat. Overall the food here is a far cry from what I'm used to but maybe I can chalk that up to the differences in preferences between diners in the US and UK. The decor and service here was good but the price was pretty hefty for a ho hum meal. Not a fan.

It's…read moreeasy to overlook the Laughing Buddha in the late afternoon and evening, because it looks like an abandoned trailer covered in graffiti. In fact, it is one of the best Thai take-out restaurants in London. The menu is simple: you choose the sauce (chili, garlic, green curry, red curry, black bean, etc), the protein (salmon, chicken, beef, tofu, etc.) and the starch (rice or noodles). For less than a 5er you a steaming plate of goodness that is made fresh in front of you. They will even serve you on plates to eat on picnic tables nearby. I love that the chili sauce is actually spicy, the Tom Yum soup has terrifically fresh veggies and even if there is a line your food will be ready in under 5 minutes. The Laughing Buddha is only open on weekdays from 11:30 - 2:30, at which point it is boarded up and left as a best kept secret until lunch the next day.
