Busaba Eathai Thai restaurant, London

Last lunch in London, went to this restaurant with a friend of mine. Both of us were super hungry. Thanks god the service is quite quick and there is no queue.

We ordered our favourit - Phad thai (6.80 poudns). It's nice!

We also had coconut king prawn (7 pounds). It's rather sweet.

We thought we needed some health food hence ordered Tofu & spinach (6.80 pounds). I'm not too keen on this one, but really need some veg.

Then we had Lemograss tea which came with biscuit and honey (to add in the tea). Love it!

The bill was 27.10 pounds for two and they don't charge for service charge. I must say, it's not the best thai food I havd ever had, but it's rather nice and quick. The serivce is quite nice. The only thing is you have to share a table with others. However, we found it was ok. Will probably re-visit it again if happen to be around the area and there is no queue.

The restaurant locate in a rather bizarre place. Although it's right next to Paddington station but really it's not that easy to find. If not because a friend of mine live around there and brought me to the restaurant, I'd never find it.

I love this chinese restaurant for a number of reasons;

- the environment is v nice unlike most of the chinese restaurants in town.

- they won't kick you out as soon as you finish your meal

- the service is really friendly in contrast to the horrify service you would get in most of the chinese restaurants in town.

And the most important thing, the food is v nice here.

They do dim sum for lunch hour and I think it's as good as Royal China (if not better) and it's cheaper!! and you don't have to queue.

I returned to this restaurant for the 3rd time within 3 weeks (I think the manager knows to be by now). This time we had the lobster noodle. The lobster is really good but the noodle is a bit soggy. However, we were told that we can change to crispy noodle next time if we like.

The lobster noodle is 28 pounds but it's enough for 3 people, a rather reasonable price!
