    Mixed Seafood Noodles
    Addy C.

    Interesting Thai restaurant that's also a pub :) We went during lunch -- pretty packed during the work week. Good lunch menu w/ reasonable prices. Ordered the "Seafood Noodles" (£8) which had thin egg noodles, mussels, shrimp, calamari, fish cake, green/red peppers, carrots, onions and green beans. Surprisingly very spicy. Good portion, food tasted ok. Looking at the other reviews, I can't tell if I'm more critical or just spoiled with better Thai food in the US :) Still great to have a Thai option in the area.

    This is a wonderful little gem we found while staying at our Airbnb just a 15 minute walk away. Was literally the best Thai food I have ever had. I had the Pad Thai and the chicken coconut soup. A bottle of red wine was £18.00, not too bad. They have a very nice bar as well and it was nice and busy when we arrived around 8:00 pm. Wonderful service! We plan on going back before heading back home to Texas!

    If you like traditional English pub and Thai food this is your place. Don't miss it, good food, good quality and good price. Mezcla de pub inglés con restaurante tailandés. Original donde los haya, pero que merece la pena probarlo. Muy bien de precio también.

    Pint of London Pride and a Pad Thai with prawn crackers for a tenner.

    I have been eating here for years. I make my hotel choices in the Heathrow airport area based around having an authentic Thai meal and a pint of London Pride. This pub "The Punch Bowl" has an authentic Thai restaurant in it!!! I know it's amazing and I swear it's like being back in Thailand the food is made fresh and it is really that good. The downsides are there are only a limited number of seats so I would phone ahead to avoid disappointment.

    Inside punch bowl and was INCREDIBLE. I would highly recommend. We got the Thai milk tea which was…read moreso refreshing and had caramel but not too sweet, the appetizer platter and pad see ew. Everything was seasoned so well and served quickly. I wish I had the time to eat here again! Inside and our door seating on the patio and lots of TV inside to watch sports games.

    Pla Tong (inside the Punch Bowl) is one of many Thai restaurants that have made their home in a…read moretraditional pub. I welcome the idea, I like pubs, and I like Thai food. What could go wrong? Well, first, the pub is a mess. The decor is very much I need of updating. The yellow light bulbs surely hide the true picture here. It's dated, stuffy, poorly maintained and in desperate need of modernising. The service at the bar wasn't very good either. Prices seem normal though. I got a bottle of still water for £1.50. The glass was clean and full of ice with a slice, so not bad there. Secondly, the restaurant part. The menus are tasty, the waitress is impossible to understand, and the food was served without any grace. I ate a green chicken curry that lacked much chicken and veg, but was swimming in coconut milk. The coconut rice was too sticky and the proportion of rice to curry was not right - more rice than was needed. By it tasted ok. Put it this way, I wouldn't rush back, and if I lived here I wouldn't eat here, but as I'm in the hotel across the road, it was a decent stop gap and probably much better than the food in the hotel bar.
