After 25 years on Fulham Broadway, this ever-popular Thai has moved to new riverside premises at Imperial Wharf (formerly occupied by Blue Elephant’s fancier offshoot Saran Rom). The development itself has yet to find its soul, but stepping through the doors of the restaurant transports you to another world. A stylish mix of teak furniture, acid-green walls and an abundance of jungle greenery helps bring the banqueting halls of Bangkok to Fulham. In the words of the effusive manager, while the old restaurant emulated a Thai village, the new is a Thai palace.

There’s an updated menu to match, with a mix of traditional and modern dishes as well as tasting menus. Some dishes, such as an enoki mushroom and vermicelli salad, sang with hits of lime and garlic, and a duck breast laab had a perfect balance of strong chilli heat and fresh mint. Others, such as the house spring rolls, felt a little tired, with a too-sweet dipping sauce and meagre filling. Still, staff are eager to please and keen for feedback from customers to help smooth the move. The outdoor terraces should prove a hit in good weather.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant, excellent service, fantastic food and just brilliantly flamboyant and fun. Incredibly child friendly, the staff could not have been more helpful or kinder to a very boisterous 8 and 4 year old. Could eat the Royal Thai Banquet over and over again. Must commend staff for being very accommodating to the picky eaters in our group. Can't wait to see them in their new venue.
