A frenetic, late-night Thai-Chinese canteen serving up unapologetically fiery Bangkok-style street food amid pool tables, neon lights, and Singha beer towers.
Ordering Strategy
Gather a group, order a three-litre self-pour Singha beer tower, and share an array of aggressively spiced snacks and curries—but pace yourself, as the heat builds relentlessly.
What to order
Chicken Skins with Zaep Seasoning
These 'irresistible salty-sour' snacks are 'shaken up with zeap seasoning in a cocktail shaker to order' for a moreish, punchy start to the meal.
Drunkard's Seafood and Beef Noodles
A 'hangover cure' consisting of 'broad ribbon noodles' from Chinatown’s Lo’s Noodle Factory and 'curls of squid in a thickened sweet soy Cantonese-style sauce.'
Prawn Ceviche
Described as 'ludicrously green,' this dish is served in a 'rugged lake of lime, chilli and fish sauce' that is designed to make 'your lips tingle and your brow sweat.'
Three Crispy Salad
A quintessential 'drinking food' that consists of a 'tangle' of cashews, crispy five-spice Chinese pork, and fish maw in a mango, lime, and garlic dressing.

Good to know
It is extremely loud and tables are tightly packed. The original location boasts a late-night weekend licence (1am) and a pool table. The £9 weekday set lunch is a fantastic deal.
