Best Thai food in London?

I enjoyed a couple of meals at Silk and Spice in Chalk Farm, just near Camden. I think they have one or two other branches elsewhere in London.<BR><BR>My two favourite local Thai restaurants in North Finchley were both taken over recently, one has become a very mediocre Thai and the other seems to be a french or italian bistro style place.<BR><BR>

Same xxx again... Silks and Spice is a mini-chain, and does have good value for money Thai food. (I love Thai food too, and keep looking for a _really_ good Thai place. If I can tempt you to dim sum, try Royal China on Saturday or Sunday. Best dim sum in London, but get there early or you will have to queue for a looooooong time.

If you also like pubs, then there's a growing trend of Thai restaurants in pubs. For example, as revued in Hardens' Guide:<BR><BR>The Walmer Castle <BR>58 Ledbury Rd, W11<BR>"Good and spicy Thai cooking and a great buzz win ringing endorsements for this charming room above a Notting HIll pub a fave rave for trendy twentysomethings."<BR><BR>Another pub:<BR>Churchill Arms, 119 Kensington Church St, W8 <BR>Its hard to get a booking, but worth it at this cheerful annexe to a Kensington boozer, where the freshly cooked Thai dishes for around a fiver are a bargain; service can be sloppy.<BR><BR><BR>And for those of you that have heard of Wagamama's:<BR>Busaba Eathai, 106-110 Wardour St W1<BR>Miles better than Wagamama (with which it shares a co-founder), this enjoyable Soho yearling offers great-value Thai food in a lovely and unusually stylish communal setting; its hugely popular, so get there early to avoid queueing.<BR><BR>(I stole all these reviews from Harden's, which is extremely reliable)<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Cheap: <BR><BR>Busaba Eathai, 100 Wardour St<BR><BR>Huge, hip, designed with large wooden tables that seat about 12 people, so there's a lot of table sharing. It's noisy. No reservations, and a queue most nights that goes very quickly. Excellent food at reasonable prices. <BR><BR>Expensive: Sri Thai<BR>Great Compton Street<BR>(not the pink Thai restaurant, a little further up)<BR><BR>Modern Thai with a subdued chi-chi sort of atmosphere. Soho's a nice fun place to be at night, always feels very safe because it's busy and bustling - forget its reputation as a red light district. It IS, but it's also trendy and friendly, but a little overwhelming if you don't like crowds and happy drunks. I love Soho at night.
