Tired of London

[Gavin Convery]

Is "Thailand" still open in New Cross? Seemed very authentic. I've never found a really good thai restaurant in the West End but Sri Soho isn't bad on Old Compton St. I'm sure others could make better suggestions. You could always do Nahm for the high-end experience.

Certainly is, and is still great, new wine list too (with things you would actually want to drink). Best Thai food I have had in london

Has the decor improved too and is it still as cramped?

Patara Thai?

went to the Singapore branch over new year and it was pretty nice. funnily enough the london incarnation always seems to slip beneath the radar screen...

other than that do go to sushi-hiro. it'll put you off cheapo central london kaitan for life

It is not the place to go if you want a lot of space and modern decor, it is the place to go if you want good Thai (Laotian actually) food.

actually maybe a little off topic but isn't it true that 75% of all new London restaurants fail within their first year? Does anyone know if that statistic has changed?

As if that percentage has gone up maybe things in London are slowing down?

Maybe the first sign of an economic slow down?

See i think the problem is that most of the best restaurant sites in London are taken by all the large chains. And all the other destination restaurants have a massive PR budget so can afford to be in wierd locations. :)
