Don't pay too much attention to the reviews, people generally leave reviews when they have an axe to grind. Having been there myself I can tell you the food is great and the service is great.

Very average 'Thai' food in that place. Full of the kind of people who think they are trendy and think they are eating Thai food.

Thai Square (Covent Garden or Trafalgar Square) or Thai Pot will offer much more authentic Thai food.

I didnt think you could book at Busaba?

Are Thai Pot's still going? There used to be one right in Covent Garden. Chicken and brocoli they knocked up was the food of the gods.

I'd get a tube to South Ken. The Bangkok - Bute street, its been there for at least 25years and is brilliant for what it is. Not pretentious or flash, just great value food.

They can try to get you in and out very quickly.

Bizarre impression to get....food was great for us and my asian missus loved it.

Thai Pot is average, I wouldn't put it any higher than Busaba on my own experience.

I agree. I didn't think it served particularly authentic thai food at all.

Nice enough place though.
