The Thai

Not even CLOSE to being even remotely authentic. I found the food bland and greasy. As usual, as is the London way, it is overpriced.

A pretty decent Thai restaurant. We tried the taster menu and the standout by far was the monster prawns in plum sauce (not the actual name of the dish but the closest I can remember to it!).

A nice place tucked away in a hidden street in Wandsworth. It is unassuming, it looks like another small place that does takeaways mainly, so it is quite surprising to see the size of it and its charming decoration once you go in.
The staff is pleasant and attentive too, which is always a plus point.
I have been to this place several times and have tried a few different choices. All good and tasty. But there is one that is a winner for me and it is the only thing I order now! It is Pad Med Ma Muang with prawns (stir fried with cashew nuts and spring onion). If you choose coconut rice with it, then it will be like travelling to Thai paradise for a while :)

The atmosphere really impressed me when I first sat down. Everything looked clean and chic yet cosy and comfortable. We received prompt service initially, that is, when we were the only people in the restaurant. But as soon as two families arrived with their young and screaming children, it would seem as if we were forgotten in the back corner of the restaurant, left to our own devices for upwards to 15 minutes at a time.
Famished, with only the shrill shrieking of toddlers to give us solace.
Or headaches.
When the food finally did arrive, it was simply okay — certainly nothing special, and certainly nothing to make me excuse the considerably long and uncomfortable wait. Also, it was certainly not inexpensive.
Overall, excusing the long wait and the less-​than-​enjoyable atmosphere created by some rather inconsiderate dining patrons, the food, considering its cost, would not compel me to return.

Nice local — great jasmine rice and satay. Very friendly service.
