Really fresh homemade food. The place is very cosy and everyone is warm and caring. Reasonable prices too. The panang curry was excellent!
The BEST and most authentic Thai I’ve had in a while! Would 100% recommend for lunch or dinner. Super reasonably priced and friendly service! Would eat in again and it will now be on the top 5 for takeaways.
Here i am, in the wake of eating packet ramen the night before. Left my home today hoping that greatness would be found along these streets, and i found Siam Town. The inside is a beautiful and cosy promise for a hefty menu packed with amazing dishes for a good price from Thailand. Their popular dish (in my opinion) were the soya noodles. I ordered them after being coerced by my sister, a siam town veteran. Read my lips, i know you cant see me but it feels like a cool line in a review....This is the best food i have eaten. Spiritual experience. 5 stars
Love this place! The curries are SO, so delicious and good value for money. I like things extra hot so I asked for it so, and the friendly staff were happy to accommodate. It was deliciously hot. The prawn toast you can tell is definitely homemade. It's a perfect little portion, but it was a bit overcooked, as it was too crispy. The chicken satay was great. I highly recommend trying the FOCO coconut water. I had it here on the recommendation of my partner, and it was amazing! It has actual chunks of coconut in it
As a HKer been to Thailand for more than ten times, I reckon this is the best and authentic Thai food I have tried in the UK/ London. Run by a Thai family, cozy vibe with detailed recipes - finally some pad Thai with the right texture and flavour (I really dislike those I tried in many different places which were either too oily, soggy or salty) and a very intriguing mixture of sourness and spicy Tom Yum. Keep it up!!
Best chicken satay ! Duck and the tofu massaman curry was delicious and pad thai has so much flavour good size portions and price is great! Highly recommended definitely recommend booking as it small restaurant, great to have options if you don’t eat meat too !
It was recommended to me so I thought I’d check it out! It actually exceeded my expectations! The food was delicious and had a kick to it! So it wasn’t usual run of the mill watered down mild Thai food! Also the service was good, the staff were quite attentive and helpful. Portions were just right and great value for money too! Quite nippy place with about 25 people sitting so I’d advise to book on advance! All in all we had a great experience! Will be going there again to soon to try something different
I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to review this place. It is AMAZING here. Service 10/10. Food 10/10. The owner is so kind and attentive. I love it here. This is a gem in Croydon.
