Well-loved Thai spot near Seven Dials, frequently named alongside neighbour Red Snapper, with people singling out the tofu massaman and BYO policy plus cheap weekday set menus. Mostly glowing, though one Redditor got food poisoning after eating there and a food hygiene inspection raised some concern.

Some of these ratings are from 6 to 9 months ago, or even longer. So not necessarily representative of what the place is like today.

Thai pad Thai isn't a huge surprise. Went there a couple of years back with my partner cos red snapper was full. Meal tasted ok (as in, not poisonous) but my missus was literally throwing it up in the toilet within an hour of leaving. There's always a slight 'old oil' smell around there too.
