3rd time ordering takeaway from Baan Thai tonight. Somtam is refreshing and crunchy, if you can get dried shrimp into it then it'll be even better. Green chicken Curry this week had good consistency and generous chunks of bamboo shoots so thats great keep it up. Beef pad Thai did not disappoint but more peanuts and more spice please! Can't wait till our next order.

Was a pleasant surprise to find a new Thai place had opened up near me and had to try it. Having just recently come back from Thailand, I must say the food was really up to standard. We got the ginger beef, the Thai omelette but the stand outs were the Pad Thai (struggle to find a good pad thai), Thai Fish cakes and the Mango sticky rice. The mango was ripe and incredibly juicy and naturally sweet - very glad to have ordered it despite being full. Muhammad the waiter was also incredibly attentive so very grateful to him. Will be back again.

As a Thai living in the area I'm so happy to say that proper Thai food has finally arrived in Eltham! I can honestly say the flavours here are true to home, which is hard to find outside of Central London and the menu has more variety than most places. Here’s what we ordered (great for 3–4 people if you want to try something other than Pad Thai or Green Curry): calamari and chicken wings for starters, the duck curry, fried seabass with lemongrass sauce (SO GOOD if you love fish!), prawn pla salad and morning glory vegetable stir-fry on the side. Everything eaten with jasmine rice, of course. We were really surprised because the old restaurant here was just okay, but we were told they've reopened under new management with a Thai chef who has over 20 years of experience. So honestly hope they do well because the food is great and they deserve to become a local favourite.
