A sizzling, sweaty, and energetic Soho counter-dining spot serving fiery, rustic Thai food cooked over open wood-burning fires.
Ordering Strategy
It is strictly walk-in only for groups under four, so arrive before 6 PM or prepare to queue. Sit at the counter for the full 'pyromaniac' experience, but be warned: it gets very hot.
What to order
Aged Lamb & Cumin Skewers
These "charred, cumin-dusted" skewers are the essential way to start the meal, with critics noting they "always order on arrival" and suggesting "it’s worth having two."
Clay Pot Baked Glass Noodles
The restaurant's signature filler, featuring Tamworth pork belly and brown crab meat in a rich, unctuous sauce; it remains a staple of the wood-fueled kitchen.
Wild Ginger & Beef Cheek Curry
Described as the "single dish" one critic wouldn't hesitate for a second to order, this "glossy, rich" curry is infused with slow heat and deep spice complexity.
Mushroom Salad
An unexpected hit featuring "earthy shiitake and delicately sweet shimeji" where, according to reviewers, there is "not mush room for improvement."

Good to know
Groups of 4+ can book tables in the basement. The spice levels are genuinely high and the open kitchen will leave you smelling of woodsmoke.
