    Streamed rice wrap
    Feng L.

    Sine I stay the hotel, why not check out this highly rated restaurant. Part of me is Thai, so thai food is my top favoured food. The service was excellent, flawless. You fell nice welcome and every detail of the service. It matches the hotel level service - 5 out of 5. So I ordered steamed rice wrap to start, Massaman curry as main. The streamed rice wrap came with lettuce, suppose to balance the richness of the rice wrap, but the combination is really odd when you put them together. The flavour and texture just do not match, and far away from each other. Rice wrap by itself is not too bad, but a bit sweet. So 3 out 5. The Massaman curry is disappointing, the curry is too thin, could thicken a bit before serve, the cut of the chicken and potato are too big, not the bite size, with the thin curry, after you cut it, since they are not exposed to the curry long enough, taste is not rich. Some piece of the chicken was over cooked, too chewy and dry. The size of the potato was not consistent, some were whole, some were half cut. You can't really smell the aroma of Cardamom, Clove or lemongrass. Again it was too sweet to taste other flavours. Overall , 1 out of 5. Maybe the real chef is on vacation today? How could it get these high star rating?

    I think this was a ginger palette cleanser...way too strong for my liking

    Starving from a group tour in London, my family and I wanted to eat somewhere close to our hotel. This restaurant is on the first floor of the Royal Lancaster Hotel. We didn't make any reservations so we waited for 20-25 minutes. They didn't have any tables ready so they let us order in the waiting area. Our server was the sweetest man. He really catered to us. Unfortunately we realized he didn't give us his name! When a table was ready, they let us sit inside. Our meal started with a palette cleanser..and it was waaay too strong for me. It was a little piece of lettuce with ginger and coconuts..too much ginger for me. We ordered Tom Yum soup..very spicy and not enough coconut milk. Because of all the reviews of the green curry, we ordered that. Again, it was spicier than usual but it was good. We also ordered their pad Thai; tasty, and their sea bass; delicious! My favorite dish of the night. Our waiter also gave us dessert for the long wait. Overall, this place has probably the spiciest Thai food I've ever eaten haha and the portions were small, and very pricey. Service was excellent and the restaurant was beautifully decorated.

    Sea bass, Curry chicken, vegetables entree. Don't remember specific names

    Elegant dining with spoonful of surprise. I enjoyed sitting by winter overlooking the Italian garden of Hyde Park. Starting with shrimp crackers, Thai fishcake(amazing, do recommend), satay chicken, spring rolls, good sour savory balanced soup, then following with three entrees. Wine pairing is a nice touch but I think they can further enhance the pairing. Great service. Paddington area has limited decent restaurant choice so this would be a go-to place in a rainy day.

    I had one of the best meals I've ever had in London here. The resturant is beautiful and the service is outstanding. The food was all amazing. I ordered too much because I wanted to try everything.

    The first time I went here I really liked the Kai Har Bai Toey which is basically marinated chicken wrapped in these large green leaves (pandanus leaves). I ordered this with coconut rice and it was enough for a whole meal. On my second visit we splashed out and ordered the set menu at 30.00 per person which includes a selection of starters, main courses and a dessert, tea or coffee. Everything was delicious! Staff was really nice and service was excellent. This is a pricey restaurant but is one I highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful meal at Nipa in London. The food was amazing! The people are so kind and smiling. The service was perfect~ they were right there ready to serve without you feeling interrupted while having a private conversation. The view over Hyde Park on the second floor of the building made for nice views. I would highly recommend the green curry dish. I think I found a new favorite restaurant in London!

    Appetizers on the house!

    Outstanding Thai food, we are very lucky to have stayed at the Lancaster London hotel. The food was surprisingly excellent and very authentic. The hostess Noy was very gracious and hospitable and was more than patient and very helpful in making recommendations for all of our family members. The restaurant is very elegantly decorated and the service was wonderful. A real gem!

    A very nice space for dinner.

    Great service, great food, great views. A wonderful dining experience. The food was very good with generous portions and I can't get over how great the service was. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Sometimes restaurants in hotels are hit or miss but this was definitely a hit!

    Thought about giving this place a 3 because of the rather young woman who was not very nice when…read moretrying to usher me out the door...she was snappy with some customers outside as well. Clearly feeling overwhelmed. Placed an online order that was projected to be ready at 8:10 pm. I got there at about 8:15pm and the woman that greeted me was pretty calm cool and collected even though the place was JAM PACKED- with several people waiting outside to pick up delivery orders or waiting to be seated. She was multitasking for sure- taking orders at tables, dealing with Uber Eats folks, as well as people coming in for a table, and me picking up my online order. It was a bit of chaos but she said to give her 2 mins. I said I'll give you 5 trying to be cool because she was working hard. About 13 mins later a young woman (20s or so) came over and asked me to step outside. I politely told her 'that woman' (pointed in the nice lady's direction) said I could wait here, so I'd rather stay here to get my order. Based on her facial expression and the fact that she went to another employee to obviously complain about me - I wasn't going to budge - and get sent outside to be forgotten about. My order was given to me by the nice woman about 8:45pm- 35 mins after the time stated online. A bit aggravating for sure but thanked the nice lady for being so nice. Speaking from my personal and professional experience people can generally forgive a lot of things if the person they are dealing with is nice. All that to let you know that my family and I thought the food was pretty darn good. I will definitely get the chicken wings again as they were cooked perfectly and with just the right amount of crispness to them.

    This was and is the best Thai food I have ever eaten in my life. The flavors of the food were…read moreincredible. We didn't have reservations, but they were friendly and got us a table quickly! The restaurant is set up very neat. I loved the decor of the place. The thai tea was not overly sweet or bitter. We also had veggie spring rolls that were so crispy! The pad thai and the pad see ewe had perfectly cooked noodles and the sauce was so flavorful. The coconut rice was delicious. We have been back in the US now for 2 weeks and we are still talking about this place! Can't wait for our next trip to London so we can visit again!
