Reun Thai

After having read the reviews on here, my partner and I thought we'd give it a go.

First of all, I don't know if they have done it up, but I didn't think the surroundings were that bad! It had a very cute, intimate atmosphere, almost as if being in their front room! It was very basic decor wise, but not bad at all.

The food then.

It absolutely lived up and even exceeded my expectations (I read the reviews, my partner didn't).

Our starters were superb, very hot (temperature wise!), fast and really nice pieces of chicken. I ordered a green curry for my main, and requested it extra hot, and when it arrived it was absolutely the way I like it! They did actually listen to the request.

My green curry was gorgeous, the sauce was great, nice pieces of chicken, nice veg, superb! My partner had a duck curry, and he said it was also really nice pieces of duck instead of the lesser bits you sometimes get, he said this was amazing!

The service was very fast, friendly and personal, and I for one thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere.

There was no service charge included but we left a generous tip as it had been truly amazing service and food, and the prices were extremely reasonable, and the quality and quantity were both outstanding.

Definitely one to recommend, it's not in an obvious location and when you walk in you might think to not go through, but please do, it's truly worth it!!!!

Offers authentic Thai food at near market stall prices. Possibly the decoration might prevent you going for a romantic first date, but if you are trying to impress with your knowledge of strange locations to get great food then this is the one.

I don't want them to redecorate in case it stops putting off the the people who judge restuarants by their facades.

Hey, can't complain about anything in this restaurant. Any dish is fantastic - from the pot noodle soup to the classic pad thai.

After reading the reviews on here my partner and I thought we would give it a go at the weekend - and we were pleased to see that the food lived up to its expectations. It is definitely the nicest Thai meal we have experienced in the Hammersmith area.

To start my partner had the lemongrass and chilli soup - which he said was the best Thai soup he has ever tasted! My yellow curry was amazing - we both left feeling very satisfied and glad that we took heed of the reviews on here.

I would definitely recommend this place - and it is very cheap. A meal with starters and mains for two and (soft) drinks came to £25!!

The restaurant itself is pretty cruddy though, so don't expect Ritzesque surroundings. It could definitely do with some help on the decor front! But don't let this put you off - trust me it is worth giving it a go!
