Good little place for some authentic street Thai food . The small unassuming cafe is situated in one of the less travelled streets of King’s Cross. I had a spot of trouble finding it on Google, possibly due to some bad connection in the area. The cafe served some popular & well loved Thai appetisers. The best one we sampled was the vegetarian spring rolls. Pad Thai was not bad though I must the food did not jumped out to me.

Very nice restaurant. Good food and service. A few tables also available out front on the street. Bring your own bottle with a £3 bottle charge per person (not per drink).

Love a Thai green curry and this place did not disappoint. If I was being ultra critical, the rice was slightly dry, but the curry was absolutely delicious. So flavoursome I couldn’t resist, but still hot at the same time. A little like a stern mistress that you can’t say no too. Very small seating facilities, hence not much of an atmosphere, but really enjoyed the peace and quiet, plus watching the world go by. Note no alcohol licence, so bring your own that they will charge you for… still worth it.

Food was ok. We weren’t overwhelmed by the multiple dishes we ordered, but it was to a decent standard and came out quite quickly. I don’t drink, but it’s also BYOB with a £3pp corkage.

The service was quite mixed. It was good at first, but then became a little hostile later in our sitting.

A few more people joined us, post paying our initial bill, which I don’t believe the staff were too pleased about. They quickly ordered one main, and two sides of rice, but when it came to paying this bill, the waitress presented us with a cheque for the entire meal (including the first paid for meal) again.
I quickly pointed out that we had already paid £110+ of the bill she gave us, and she went to reprint the new bill. However, this bill was also incorrect. Including two dishes that weren’t ordered.

Unfortunately my friend tapped their card when presented with the reader and it was only after this that I point out the extra items on the bill.

We asked if we could be refunded for the extra items we didn’t order or consume and this is where it started to become hostile. The waitress told us that she couldn’t refund the incorrect amount, that she had to refund the entire bill and my friend had to pay again for the correct amount. When questioned how long the refund would take to reflect in their banking account, the waitress said she didn’t know, and there was no other option.

Apprehensive, my friend requested that the refund be given in cash as. There was a lot of back and forth, but eventually a cash refund was given.

We were immediately then told that the restaurant was closed and we must leave, even though there were two other tables still seated and dining. She obviously just wanted us out.

A small restaurant with great food. The restaurant was recommended by a friend and a group of us came. We were all impressed with the quality of the food.
I had prawn in filo pastry and the fried cod in red curry. Very happy with my choice. I would have love to add some veg with my meal though.
Would happily return.
