An unapologetically loud and spicy Southern Thai canteen located in a railway arch, mimicking the chaotic energy and heat of a Bangkok mess hall.
Ordering Strategy
Go with a group to share family-style. The 'Khua Kling' is fiercely spicy, so balance it with cooling dishes like the Massaman curry, Morning Glory, or sweet Thai tea.
What to order
Gaeng Massaman Neua
A 'tender beef shoulder massaman' described as 'creamy and comforting.' It is highly recommended to order 'one of the excellent roti to mop up all the curry.'
Kha Moo Paloh
A substantial 'braised pork leg that’s served from a cart' just like in Thailand, providing a rich and authentic 'anytime comfort food' experience.
Yam Strawberry
An unusual salad with green mango, coconut, and 'crispy jasmine fish' that is 'well worth a try.' It perfectly balances 'hot, sweet and sour notes' and acts as a 'fresh, bright' counterpoint to spicier dishes.
Gai Tord Hat Yai
This Southern Thai fried chicken with crispy shallots is described as 'dangerously addictive,' 'perfectly crisp,' and possessing a 'unique seasoning' that far exceeds standard fried chicken.

Good to know
Located in railway arches so it can be noisy (trains and music). Bookings recommended for peak times. Spice levels are authentic and high.
