Thonglor — Restaurant in London

We received a takeaway that cost 55 pounds, which is extortionate for what we had, which was tiny portions and flavourless portions of food.

Ordered: Prawn crackers - nice if not a small portion but dipping sauce, prawn toasts that didn’t arrive; (we called them and told them not to make it, and asked if we could have a refund, and then went back to the restaurant and she huffed and said she had made it for us) - although relented and gave us cash. The red Thai curry was mediocre at best Broccoli - 10 POUNDS FOR boiled BROCILLI - truly unreal how bad value this was The sticky rice came in a bag in the box that was clearly microwaved and the rice was rock hard and had no salts The noodles - were so average, oily and flavourless We ordered sticky mango rice (that the rice had a greenish hue) that was very strange so we didn’t eat.

All in all, incredibly disappointing for the price and expected quality of food. Wouldn’t not recommend this place to anyone. There is a brilliant Thai place in Kilburn called spicy basil (it’s cheap and delcious) so save your money and tastebuds and go...

Popped in today on a quiet saturday late afternoon, just me. Was completely empty in there not a single soul. I was greeted by an older thai lady with short black hair in quite a sterile manner, to which i ignored and asked to be sat, she suggested a corner table, but as the restaurant was empty and i dont like how cramped the corner seat was, i asked to be sat in the middle table. To which she responded , these are for bookings - mind you the restaurant was completely empty , and i protested and mentioned that to her and we went back and forth for a few seconds before she agreed, but by then the taste in my mouth was sour, i decided to leave as the vibes were completely off. Im sure the food would have been nice, a shame i didn’t even get to try due to the unwelcoming nature of that...

To cut to the chase, there are 'Try to be Thai' and then... a leap to 'The Real Deal'... and Thonglor is exceptional and so fresh, freshly made, and with such a fantastic and passionate team, that you really need to check it out. Reviews (and the regular Thai clientele;)) speak for themselves, immediately obvious on our first visit. Exquisite steamed fish, melt in the mouth Kanom Jeeb dumplings, in fact, everything was perfect. Very good drinks menu, sensibly priced DOC wines, and attention to detail. Like anything 'made to order' just enjoy the experience, a hurry would be a worry - as an ex publisher of leading London magazines, I loved it and the owners are so charming... wishing them every success, this is how it should be.
