Top chefs, food bloggers, Topjaw etc hang your respective heads in shame. The hype I've been hearing about Singburi over the last circa 2 years meant I made it a life's mission to visit this place. Slow forward 2 years later and a near 2 hour drive having not had a reservation but I'm from Brixton so we seldom take no for an answer, I arrived with no booking but having used my charm offensive I was seated by the wonderfully rude owner (she who will shall not be named). I really really really thought I'd then go on to experience one of the culinary delights of my life after hearing all the hype from the aforementioned social media dons. Fast forward an hour later and this was pound for pound...
Had to wait two months until we had a table to dine in at this place. I'll say it was worth it. Nice Thai restaurant in Leytonstone, not a huge amount of seating, though I think that is good as it brings a level of authenticity and good quality as well. There's a standard menu that you get to choose from rice, curry, noodle, soup, sides/starters and then you'll get a specials menu board which they also upload on their Instagram page. Love that the spicy level matches what you get in Asia, though if you can't handle the spice level you can ask it to be a bit more mild with some dishes i.e. the som tum. Couple of things to be aware of. If you like alcohol it is BYOB or wine and they are lovely...
The food at the restaurant was so-so, but the service was surprisingly poor. I 've never been to a restaurant with such bad service. A lady with a notebook was in charge of reservations, and when a friend who couldn 't make it this time asked us to book for the next visit, the lady said they were fully booked. I asked, Are they fully booked for the future? What about in six months or a year? But the lady just got very angry and said they were fully booked, as if asking a question was wrong. Furthermore, some customers walked in without reservations. I felt like the restaurant owner was selectively treating customers, being welcoming to some but ignoring us. I won 't go to this restaurant aga...
It's a big fat yes from me! This is not a modern chic West end restaurant, it's local feeling, chilled, family style. The plates don't match and no-one fills up your water, but so what? The food is great and if you're really in to food and not aesthetics, come here, cash in hand and get stuck in. A group of 3 is perfect, order tonnes, and share everything. I'd say their curries are not their strong point, but the pork bean stir fry, the clams, the moo krab, the pork fat cabbage and the morning glory were all excellent. Can't wait to come back!
