I didn't realize that it was a Thai restaurant in the back of the pub, completely separate from the…read morepub, until we got inside and walked around. I was hoping for more of a Thai food menu in the pub space. Don't get me wrong, the Thai restaurant is lovely, with dark calming walls and cozy atmosphere, delicious smells, and friendly service. Thai doesn't translate into American English and English English in quite the same way, so it did take a thorough reading of the menu to find some of the Thai dishes that I enjoy. In the end, I opted for the duck in red curry sauce, as duck is much more common in the UK than in the US. It was quite tasty - nice cook on the meat, great flavor of the sauce. I would've enjoyed more vegetables, but that's my own fault. Servers were quite friendly, even if it did take a while to get the check. They easily split the amount at our request.

My order - Green chicken curry, I added beef. 7/10 It was good green curry, nothing special veggies were a bit overcooked but overall good. -Drunken noodles with shrimp & Beef 8/10. This was very good, only issue it wasn't drunken, a bit dry, not saucy at all. Others I've gad elsewhere have been saucy. - side of egg fried rice 6-10. A bit bland - Jasmine tea 3/10.

We are late bloomers, we have only lived at this address for 12 months. To be honest it just didnt appeal after having thai somewhere else and just prefering to eat other foods after that experience. It is very laid back and very traditional and tastes just what it should taste like with friendly service. We had salt and pepper prawns and wan tons for starters then a seafood medly dish and a chili beef dish with rice and the couple of glasses of wine all for 28 pounds.

I would normally have given a restaurant with these characteristics a 4 star review, as it is…read morebasically a standard local Thai restaurant. The decor is nice, it is clean and the food well done. They have not put loads of sugar into the recipes like many Thai restaurants do and the dishes are properly made. The decor is modern and nicely done, but nothing new or adventurous. Hence this restaurant would normally get 4 stars for just being standard stuff nicely done. The fact that family of the owners were there at the early start of the meal and their children were eating food cooked in the kitchen was a pleasure as it added to the personal nature of the business. The children were also well behaved. The owners were also incredibly friendly and personable. They were open talking about their business and the challenges they had doing it. They were basically happy to discuss any conversation we brought up. Their transparent, personal and open nature made the place feel like a valued local fixture in the community and hence I cannot give it less than 5 Stars. It is helped by the fact that this is a lovely part of Chiswick, away from the hustle and bustle of the high street and main roads. A good local choice if you are in the area.

Next door, the Ginger Pig was holding an urban butchery course-very chic! But, back to Somtag. As I say, it's quite small and on weekends I would definitely book. The decor is solidly Thai but in an understated way. We were greeted by the owner who was politeness itself-he told us a little of how he came to own the place. We ordered drinks and tap water was brought for us and then constantly re-filled-very good touch. Service was generally excellent. We had: Thai fish cakes soft shelled crab (both to start) Massaman lamb curry green curry Pad Thai Both starters were really good. I love Thai fishcakes, though they can get on the greasy side. These were freshly made and non-greasy with clean flavours. The soft shelled crab was very reasonably priced at about £6 but we got 2-3 huge pieces. Not the best crab I've had but for the money they were absolutely fine. I was concerned ordering the lamb curry-I have a "thing" about lamb as it can be chewy/fatty. I needn't have worried-the lamb was slow cooked, lean and wonderfully tender. The sauce was rich and deep-a revelation. The green curry was less fireworks but very nice indeed with all the attendant flavours you would expect in a good Thai curry. Pad Thai-tick yet again-huge king prawns were buried deep in the noodles. We had no desert as we could hardly walk after this. If you live in the area or even if you don't give this friendly, very competent restaurant a bash. We will certainly return.

Replaced by a normal table and chairs, it works much better which means you can have a bit of privacy if you so wish.

Overall cheapish, good service, food on time, lively atmosphere and the food is good. If you want to spend a bit more time enjoying a meal and taking your time or for a romantic interlude then my advice would be to find somewhere else.

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. We have been there twice for dinner with our two kids…read more My wife and kids liked the place but I found it to be average. I am a big fan of Thai food and I thought the green chicken curry was just so-so. The Tom Kha soup was really good and the rest of the dishes were fine. There aren't many kids friendly options if your kids cannot deal with spicy food. That's a bummer. I can't say that it is my favorite Thai restaurant of all times but not the worst either. Service and food preparation is very slow (and that's an understatement). You will need to waive to get their attention and I simply don't get that. Overall, it is ok. Not fantastic but not bad.
