   Everything was delicious and well-seasoned. We had the crispy chicken green mango salad (soft with a citrusy kick), neam fried rice (aromatic and flavourful), and crispy pork and pepper curry (spicy level 8/10, balanced by coconut). If you can’t book, there might be space outside. If you sit out you need to go in to order but they will bring the food out. Overall 9/10.

   Went for dinner. Ordered the shrimp ceviche which was delicious. The crispy pork with black pepper was served at room temperature, I asked to heat it up again but was still lukewarm. Morning glory was really good. Ambiance is very noisy and music is blasted that makes a conversation difficult.

   Authentic, and I meant authentic Thai food, as close as you are gonna get in the west. Menu item names are written in mostly Thai...Nice! Chicken skin was very interestingly delicious. It was not thin and crispy, but thicc and crunchy, not what I was expecting, but delicious. Pork and prawn rolls was my favorite. Freshly fried, with a delicious filling with unique textures, paired perfectly with the sweet sauce. I got the Prawn Curry, came with three large prawns, and you must get rice with it. The rice perfectly soaked up every last bit of the curry, which was packed with flavor with a nice coconut milk freshness. Cha Som Jeed was an interesting drink. Thai iced tea without the milk, but with lemons and calamansi. The unique calamansi flavor was so nice. Somehow, the tea still tasted 'creamy' without any milk or cream in it, like cream soda almost. Very good.

   The food was delicious, I read online that the portions were small but if anyone has been to Thailand they would know the dishes are pretty much similar size and that to get to full experience you must order at least 5/6 items. Really good and prompt service, I had an Indian man serving us (don’t know his name had a mix black/grey beard) very good waiter and polite, very reasonable prices considering the standard a lot of credit to your chefs .. would love to try your Nottinghill branch. Good stuff guys .. you made my girlfriends birthday memorable

   Oh my word. My husband and I came here with high expectations for our anniversary. Firstly, a sincere shoutout to the friendly and highly attentive waitstaff. We reserved in advance (which I recommend doing as it gets busy!) and they had actually read my booking notes. In the notes I mentioned I was pregnant and so they double checked I was happy with the preparation and ingredients of certain dishes. The menu leans towards the spicy and salty side, but at the same time is very fragrant and aromatic. Quite addictive really! I’ve seen viral videos of that Tom Yam deluxe noodle dish so obviously we had to get it. It was delicious, but to my surprise, my favourite dish was their Naem fried rice. It’s been about a week since our visit and I’m still licking my lips thinking about it. To top everything off, we got a surprise scoop of taro ice cream. How adorable is that? Lots of love to Speedboat. We’ll be back, and definitely before our next anniversary!

   I took two friends visiting London for lunch and we loved it! The food is super authentic, and the waitress who served us was not only nice but also very funny! The prawn ceviche was spectacular although very spicy! The noddles and sweetcorn fritters are a must on your order if you go. Highly recommended!

   Great Thai restaurant, producing really authentic tasting, spicy food. The decor is a nod to Thailand and feels like a slight escape from London. Some innovative cocktails on offer, I really enjoyed the Frozen beer with ginger which was really refreshing - and needed to cool down the mouth from the fiery drunken noodles, which was my favourite dish.

   Pleasant lunch! Happy to see an authentic, thai, hawker styled restaurant in the middle of China Town. Very delighted with the tastes of the dishes. I wish the menu was a tad bit more expansive. Special shout-out to the amazing cocktails! Don’t miss those..

   We came here for a mid week dinner but we were disappointed with the food. We shared the chicken matches with green mango kerabu salad (good flavour but small portion for £10), minced beef with holy basil (super salty and didn't have the right balance of chilli and basil) and the drunken noodles with beef and seafood (also way too salty). I am hoping it's just teething issues with the food since it's new but I won't be back for a while. The positive here is that staff were generally really friendly and our waiter was helpful.

   We had a great night here and received 50% off food for their soft launch - I do find some of the low reviews they've received are unfair since the whole premise of a soft launch is so they can work on getting it right! Anyway, I enjoyed my two dishes (the beef and special rice) but my friends found one of their dishes a little underwhelming hence the 4 stars. The staff were lovely and energetic even though you could see how rushed off their feet they were! I do think the chicken wings starter should state that it's served cold as we found it quite strange. Will hopefully be able to try the King Colada when we go back (they'd run out) but overall it was a good evening.
