This is a very solid 4 stars. Might upgrade to 5 stars upon future visits. I definitely will be back.
What can I say? I ordered Thai food from an Thai lade and then 30 seconds later order a pint from an Englishman. I then proceeded to watch some football with my beer as I waited for me food, and the crowd was fun. All the while I'm salivating at tasty looking Thai dishes around me.
It turns out the food more than looks good, it is very good. I have eaten way more than my share of Thai food in my life, and while this is not the best it certainly holds its own. This was the best food I have had in my short time in London -- The panang curry was actually a little spicy! The pricing was very reasonable. And while the food alone is enough for 4 stars, you have to consider the fact that it is BAR FOOD -- at a good bar. Just the shear unusualness of this combination is probably worth another star.
Well, I definitely see myself becoming a regular here. We'll see if they earn that last star. -

Good street seating, but if it is a warm sunny evening you will have to get here early to get one.
I have only ever popped in here for a quick drink and for that purpose it has been fine. They have a TV which has been on the times I have popped in and they have been tuned to the sporting events. Given that this has covered the World Cup and Wimbledon I have to say there were still more people outside than in. Which was good as it meant I could get served easily and find a seat.
It is a loud pub but again I have only ever been in here at that afterwork time so perhaps during the day it is a bit quieter?
They also serve food there which looks nice but having not eaten any of it I can only comment on the look and smell of it.
Price wise the it falls into line with the other bars in the area. They have a small area at the back of the pub which you can reserve. -

So I only came here with some friends for a quick afternoon drink earlier today, but the place seemed rather nice indeed. We did that spontaneous 'lets had a Sunday afternoon pint' and I picked baker St to check out - pretty central but I don't it well enough yet.
I love the idea that this is a pub with Thai food as well! Casual pad Thai pub snack would be so good, it's on the list to try! Who knows, star update may be needed afterwards? Good for outside seats, great quiet location -

Love the Pad Thai! Since I'm a Pad Thai fanatic, it's basically all I eat here.... Pretty sure the rest is also great.

After being persuaded to return, I opted for something different this time, and I have to say that the noodle dishes are made rather well.
A little oily for my taste but still very tasty and the vegetable are bight in colour, which is always a good sign. I was also impressed that when I asked for my dish to be "extra spicy", boy did it have a kick!
Overall a good spot to a pick up a hearty portion of grub, that won't break the bank. What a funny term, "break the bank". I wonder what it's origins are. Hahaha!
