The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and the food came out fast and fresh. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and tasted super authentic. You can tell they really care about what they're serving. The place has such a cozy vibe too. If you're in Edinburgh and craving Thai food, definitely add this spot to your list. We were so impressed and would 100% come back next time we're in town!

It has the vibe of a fancy nightclub. Since we're being COVID cautious we asked the host when we arrived if we could sit outside. We were told we could but only if we were drinking. (When we left we saw several tables out there eating food.) Could we sit in the main dining area away from others? "It'll be packed in ten minutes," we were told. It was 1:30. When we left only two tables were taken. We ended up having a private room with views of Edinburgh Castle, though the view from the main dining room was better. Our server was without any warmth as well. Methinks they have a customer service problem. The apps we ordered came in groups of three for our table of four. When I eat out with a group, my servers often offer to charge a little more so we have the right number to share. Not here. The Mieng Kum with grape leaves filled with toasted coconut and peanut was really good and one of our favorites. We ordered the Weeping Beef Salad and got the non-salad version which costs more. We ended up with the Pepper Steak and it was excellent. Even though it wasn't what we ordered, it was the best dish of the day. The Thai Tacos with chicken were small but good. The Basil Chicken was fine but forgettable.

When we got turned away at Nok's Kitchen, we were recommended over here to Street Box. (Just a note…read moreI have noticed is that almost all the restaurants in Stockbridge need reservations as they are all fully packed with no chance of walk-ins). Luckily enough, Street Box offers a back-up alternative even though it is meant to be a take-away spot. Nonetheless, they still offer one communal table with a couple stool at the window still for those who want to dine-in. The menu is extensive with all types of Thai cuisine ranging from curry to rice and noodle dishes. my go-to Thai dish is a Pad See Ew, which was not on the menu but the waiter told me they could make it for me off menu --what a wonderful thing to hear! He was very friendly with our group as well. The only problem was that everyone else in my party got their food except me only to find out that they forgot my order. The waiter did notice right away and assured me it would be out within minutes. Although I was a bit upset, the food made up for it. The off menu Beef Pad See Ew (£8) was very flavorful and delicious. The noodles and vegetables were seasoned very well. The dish did use a thinner, dried rice noodle (used in Pad Thai) instead of a flat, wide rice noodle. They also did not skimp on the spiciness, which I appreciated since Thai food is meant to be spicy. Overall, affordable and delicious Thai food that is great for take-aways. The space had a hipster and eccentric vibe with unique Thailand decors as well. This is a great go-to spot whenever you're craving Thai food.

This quote superbly describes this past week, as I skipped past, smushed my face against the window and all out stalked their website waiting for Ruan Siam's new sister restaurant Street Box to open. Did I learn about this little spot because I was taken aback when Ruan Siam was closed for a week during the launch? Yes. Was a week without thai take away worth it to have this little outpost right around the corner? Heck to the yes. The Lazy Gal default setting is strong in this one. Here's what we know so far: This tiny (and I mean TINY) place is run by the same folks that own Ruan Siam just up the street. They have expanded the menu and offer delivery between 6pm - 10:15pm seven days a week. They have one picnic style table and bench seating to sit in. It's small but they've done a good job with the space. They have quick meal boxes for those looking for great lunch take away in the area and are open in the afternoons. The new menu items like Pad Kee Maow (spicy rice noodle stir fry with Galangal, lemongrass, chilli and mixed vegetable) are deliciously on point. Their curries are still as bad ass as they were when Ruan Siam was dishing them out. I will be here ALL the time. More options for great thai food? Win.

Thai stir fry' is a stir-fried rice noodle dish commonly served as a street food in Thailand as part of the country's cuisine. Our Pai Thai made with rice noodles, shrimp, some peanuts, a scrambled egg, and bean sprouts. The ingredients are fried together in a wok a la minute. As compared to the US and other Scottish restaurants this restaurant is really overpriced and the food is just "meh". Very small portions and a sticky Pai Thai I am afraid this was not a such a great experience. Maybe it was the end of their shift but would not recommend.

Given the location, it's a bit of a hidden gem but definitely worth the visit if you're after some tasty Thai food. They have a good selection of starters, main courses and chef's specials. Also some fusion type dishes are featured, e.g. Khua Khun Mae Special in the starters section, which is traditional Scottish haggis with Thai style seasoning. Sounds interesting, but I went for the deep fried king prawns with Thai beer batter served with a homemade mango sweet sauce. They were lovely - three large morsels with a tasty dipping sauce which wasn't too sweet. For main course I had a duck stir fry. Again, absolutely delicious - tender and very tasty duck with vegetables. Note that they do ask you how hot you would like your food. The waitress was very friendly and polite.
