⸻ I had the most wonderful dining experience here last night. The restaurant itself is absolutely stunning — elegant, beautifully designed, and full of charm. Every single dish we ordered was not only visually impressive but also incredibly delicious. You can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. We arrived shortly after noon and ended up staying until the early evening, leaving sometime after 7pm — and honestly, not a single moment felt too long. The time simply flew by because everything was so enjoyable. It was a very special day for my friend, as we were celebrating a birthday, and this restaurant made the occasion feel even more meaningful and memorable. What made the experience even more special was the warm and attentive service. The staff were genuinely kind, professional, and made us feel so welcomed throughout the entire afternoon and evening. It’s rare to find a place where everything — the ambiance, the food, and the service — comes together so perfectly. I left feeling truly impressed and grateful for such a beautiful celebration, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. If I could give this place a hundred stars, I absolutely would — it was simply amazing in every possible way.

Lovely deco with gentle lighting throughout the restaurant. The service is friendly though it takes a long while for them to present the card machine after asking for the bill, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy by then. Food was good though - ordered the crispy chicken skin, beef short ribs in five spices & salted egg yolk and the jumbo crab meat Claypot rice. The highlight is definitely the short ribs which were so soft and fell straight off the bone, seasoned very well that went perfect with the coconut rice. The dessert is on the sweeter side with the Pandan creme brulee and I definitely enjoyed the coconut ice cream on top more. Overall an enjoyable meal with good vibe and good food! I’d certainly revisit to try other curry dishes on the menu which looked amazing from other reviews!

I had such a great experience at this restaurant yesterday. The food is truly authentic Thai—flavourful, balanced, and cooked with real care. The atmosphere is warm and pleasant, the cocktails are absolutely delicious, and the service from Pratrick and Pond is genuinely outstanding. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back again. Highly recommended!

I had the most fantastic time here today. The service was excellent with extremely attentive staff. They were ready to answer every question and explain everything on the menu to us. I’ve been to a few Thai places in London that have been decent but this restaurant exceeded my expectations! It felt like I was back in Bangkok. The flavours, the textures, the scent? 10/10. For starters we ordered the (1) Stuffed snub nose chilli with chicken and Prawns which was delicious but a little spicier than anticipated. (2) Grilled Rib-eye skewer with fermented fish which was fantastic but unfortunately just a single small skewer- we expected maybe 2 or 3 but fantastic nonetheless. (3) Crispy duck spring rolls- fantastic. My date and I ordered the : Beef short rib with the salted egg yolk with a side of coconut rice & the Yellow Crab Curry with Jasmine rice. Do not walk- RUN! Melt in your mouth beef with a burst of flavours- spicy, citrus, salty, fresh, hints of sweetness- FABULOUS. Only downside I would say is the crème brûlée wasn’t to my taste but if you enjoy Pandang I’m sure you’ll love it 😻 Will definitely be returning soon lol

I came here for the “Sip & Som Tum” workshop and had the best time! Chef Wiew was very detailed in teaching and it was really fun to learn about all the ingredients. We got lots of tips too! It was very fun we got to make it with the Thai mortar and pestle. The food tasted really good and all the staff were very friendly. It was a good paced and didn’t feel rushed. I asked lots of questions and Chef Wiew was very patient and helpful. Definitely would come back to eat from their menu and I would recommend this place!

Such an amazing restaurant! The food was absolutely divine and so authentic, especially the razor clams on the menu. Cocktails were stunning and incredibly delicious. Definitely coming back for the coriander beef curry too, that coriander fish sauce is to die for 😋 The atmosphere was relaxing and the service was super lovely. Thank you especially to Jup, very attentive and friendly! Her recommendations were so helpful and definitely made our dining experience feel much more personal!

If you want fine dining experience of Thai food, don’t look further. Amazing food, nice ambiance and incredible service by Pond. Suitable for both small and big group. Definitely coming back.

I'm not sure what went wrong with yesterday service as tables were left with no food for over 60 minutes. A table even left after only getting drinks during their 90 minutes stay The food was good but it's not acceptable at any restaurant to wait so long as guests are sitting there hungry. The waitress serving us was left wiping away her tears as she had to take the complaints of customers. She tried her best I understand problems arise unexpectedly, but this should be clearly communicated. "Coming soon" still took another 20 minutes for us, and we were one of the lucky ones that actually got food. It was a miserable scene to witness for both customers and staff.
