I took a group of 20 people here for my birthday meal and everybody loved it. The menu has a huge selection of Thai and Lao food so there are some really interesting dishes on offer. One of my favourite dishes is laab, and there are 4 different versions of it on offer here. Top food and there were no issues whatsoever serving 20 of us at once. It's also located above a nice old pub so you can either dine in the pub or the restaurant.

Authentic Laotian food that sent me back to Luang Prabang. The seabass was grilled to perfection (“pun pa”) and the Laab was delicious, it came with a basket of sticky rice, which is the perfect combo. Haven’t tried the Thai menu but we are planning to come back.

The best Thai food I've ever had! Great choice of dishes, quick service and lovely staff. The food here does not compare, by far the best quality for such good prices and portions.

Very tasty food, I'd recommend the prawn stir fried noodles and the dry salad pork neck. The curry was very different to what I was expecting. Book a table as the restaurant is small and gets very busy quickly. I'd definitely come back and try other dishes

Soooo goood! It’s right upstairs the pub. The portions, flavor and service are all amazing, decorations are quite South East Asian. The food was served shortly after we ordered, they smelled and tasted FAB.My picky parents are very satisfied :)) will definitely come back soon.

What an incredible surprise! Definition of hole in the wall, this place sits atop a pub and serves Laotian and South East Asian food galore. We tried several dishes and loved each one. Can’t wait to go back!

I never had Lao food before even I have had been living in Asia all my life. We came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch before we went to see our show at the KitKat club. The restaurant is not very far away from Monument station. The restaurant it’s very clean and stylish decor. There are bar tables and regular dining tables. We didn’t have any reservations so we were seated at the bar table.Manuel is very comprehensive, introducing how many dishes you should order. We were too, so we ordered one plain sticky rice, one pork fried noodles, one portion of barbecue sausage and one bamboo shoot salad. For two girls, they were about the right quantity.The food strikes me first as northern Thai food. The sausages taste, a little bit sour and in the very unique way. You can eat it with mint leaf, coriander and chilli pepper. It was really tasty.The sticky (gluten rich) plain rice tastes like Chinese Zong Zi, it is very soft with a good texture. It goes very well with the bamboo shoots salad.Although it says it is salad, the bamboo shoots, it’s actually a hot dish. The sauce is full of mint leaves, different spices. Very yummy. The bamboo shoots is very crunchy.The fried vimcilimi is full of sweet sauce, the pork on top is well marinated, which is also good to go with rice.There are staffs at the shop front, they seem very busy but also very attentive. I asked for chilli powder and fresh chilli, they brought me what I asked for and kept refilling our water.If you like south East Asian food, don’t miss out.

We came for a quick dinner before a show and between the four of us, we shared the deep-fried chicken wings, the chargrilled pork skewers, fermented Lao sausages, tum Thai (papaya salad), prawn pad mee Lao (vermicelli noodles) and laab moo (minced pork). All the dishes packed a punch in flavour and were really tasty. The service was also very efficient.

Great restaurant above the crown and cushion which was very busy but managed to get a table..I've never eaten Thai food before so I had no clue really what we were ordering..both our meals were OK but we just chose wrong as the other meals we could see looked amazing as was our desert..Will definitely go back but I'll make sure to have a proper look at the menu next time
