"Chinatown is a guaranteed late-night eating area and, in Speedboat Bar, it has one of London’s most fun and cosplay-ish Thai restaurants. The bar-cum-restaurant is from the same people as Plaza Khao Gaeng, and there’s a similar feel of Thai paraphernalia everywhere you look. Only, here, combined with an upstairs pool table and pastel plates of bitingly spicy and soy-stained drunkard noodles. Come Friday and Saturday the Bangkok-inspired spot is open until 1am. If you’re looking for something more sedate, the downstairs canteen is a great place for melting beef tongue and tendon curry before a must-order deep-fried pineapple pie." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
