Bintang Restaurant in Camden

Yummy (sinful) food, friendly staff and cosy restaurant with a great vibe! Came for Sunday lunch - grabbed coffee at Panadera next door before the meal and went to Mamasons right next to it for dessert after.

My ex-partner and I ventured into Bintang, Kentish Town this evening, without a reservation, a spontaneous decision that quickly descended into a regrettable ordeal. Upon inquiring about the possibility of dining downstairs, we were begrudgingly accommodated with the strict condition of vacating within a mere 90 minutes due to subsequent bookings. This constraint immediately instilled a sense of undue haste and discomfort, setting a decidedly unwelcome tone for our visit. Our interaction with the service staff did little to alleviate the growing tension. Struggling to decipher the waitress's explanations, I found myself nodding in agreement without full comprehension, an interaction that felt both frustrating and dismissive. In a futile attempt to expedite our dining experience, we ordered both starters and mains together, hoping for a seamless meal. The starters, which arrived with alarming swiftness, were a prelude to disappointment, lacking in flavour and refinement. This was promptly followed by my main course of noodles, a dish that could only be described as passably edible but disappointingly lacklustre, resembling more a mass of slugs than a culinary delight. The nadir of our dining experience, however, was my ex-partner's chicken dish, served with a skin so egregiously burnt it could only be likened to charred charcoal, a stark testament to the kitchen's hasty and careless preparation in their bid to usher us out. Our complaints were met with a paltry offering of a 20% discount, a gesture that did little to ameliorate the situation or salvage the evening. The entire experience was marred by a palpable rush, a clear indication that our presence was merely tolerated rather than welcomed, all for the privilege of paying West End prices for what was unequivocally not a West End experience. In retrospect, our impromptu visit to Bintang was a stark lesson in disappointment, a harrowing encounter that left us not only underwhelmed but distinctly aggrieved.

Amazing food at Bintang, with extremely friendly and cozy staff. the oxtail karekare was delicious, and so were the glazed lamb ribs. very delicious modern filipino food. cocktails were also great. can get very tight inside so make sure thats okay with you.

My first time with family in this restaurant. The place was small but lovely and cosy. Can be perfect for a date night or with a small group of friends. I love that the menu is not overwhelming. I ordered the Ulek curry (veg option). It was delicious and had a nice kick to it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would visit again when in London next time.

We booked here for a last-minute date night & was blown away by the place. Decor & feel of the restaurant is very chilled & the food was incredible. Absolutely no complaints!

Recently visited with my work colleagues in celebration of the team winning our Cocktail Competition. We have such a great night. The ambience in the place was very intimate. The service from all staff members, especially Angel was exceptional. We had a plate of small nibbles along with various small plates and different mains, so that we could get a taste of it all. We also ordered signature cocktail and virgin cocktails, which were also amazing. We finished off with dessert which was a great end to such an amazing meal. I could not recommend this place enough and will ve coming back in the near future.

Flavourful and tasty food. Amazing service from all staff especially Angel. And amazing cocktails and dessert. Great ambience. Such an intimate setting.

Amazing food! Levelled up Filipino dishes. We went here on a Saturday afternoon and were seated right away. Their staff was super nice and just had an excellent customer service skills. We were served by the Short haired girl and immediately after she gave us the menu she explained how is it best to order and like how many dishes do they recommend. The food was served quickly. We ordered Chicharon (Super crunchy) love the vinegar as well Ox tail Kare Kare (This is the dish we loved the most, the meat was so tender and it is best paired with their garlic rice. The sauce is just super good) Garlic rice (Amazing!) Okoy fritters Lumpia After we finished our meal, the waiter asked ask if we want to have our dessert. Which we did. She offered desserts in the resto but you can order with Mamasons which is just beside them. You dont have to go there but they will just deliver it to you. We ordered the cream cheese calamansi cake(Not sure what its called but its their new dessert which is yummy) And buko pie with ube ice cream. Will definitely go back to this restaurant.

The food was exceptionally tasty - loved the grilled gurnard, and the Okay fritters were very tasty. It isn't cheap, but I'd rate it good value, with good service. My son has been here a lot and it was his choice for this evening.

Decided to order from this place for Valentine's Day, and holy the oxtail curry was actually phenomenal. The meat is so tender, the peanuts just add that complimentary texture and the gravy was just magnificent, while my date really enjoyed the Bintang Curry, more and more with every bite. The pricing was decent, however if you plan to order I would suggest making your own rice to save on cost, and if anything put that saving into a side like the wings. Seriously though, you have to try the oxtail curry It leaves such an impression on you.

Fantastic food and service. Especially loved the grilled chicken and prawn curry. Can’t wait to come back!

Friendly team, fantastic food and delicious cocktails. Will be back!

Service was great. Food was worth every penny. Really recommend, will be coming back soon.

Lovely authentic food! Would definitely recommend 10/10 my group loved it!

Food was good not impressive. Had an argument with the waiter on how to pronounce the word “plantain”. Called my language a “replica”.

The food was delicious and the server was super nice. We will definitely be back

The restaurant has had a big make over since a year ago. Food, atmosphere and drinks have greatly improved. We still thought it was BYOB and they gave us happy hour cocktails and free ice cream to compensate. Slider and spring roll starters were a bit heavy for us but the curries were all great. The cocktails were delicious and the ice cream was 👌.

Bintang has some of the best food that I have ever had in London! Every dish is so flavoursome and perfectly sized. Would definitely recommend!!!

Lovely atmosphere and amazing drinks! Great service and food ❤️

Good service and good food - definitely recommended and we’ll be back 😋

Food was delicious, particularly recommend the Oxtail Kare Kare. But on top of that, I really respected the service and how polite they were. I mentioned a friends birthday in passing and the waitress remembered and brought out a cake at the end, we hadn't even asked! Would go again, really enjoyed it

Very cute Filipino restaurant. Quick service and a wide range of different food to pick from.

Delicious, inventive, incredibly flavorful food. Great for sharing or date night, with a cozy interior and wonderful service. Also amazing unique cocktails! Get the clarified margaritas!

Went here a while ago. The staff are friendly and if you come when they open at 5 they usually don’t have a queue. If you have a larger group, it may be best to call up to reserve a table. Food here is amazing, I really couldn’t fault anything. If there is one thing to get I would say their glazed ribs as it just fell off the bones. Even the potatoes had flavour, I would definitely need to come back to try the rest of the menu. It is also halal, but ask beforehand to double check. Personally, I feel like the price is reflected in the quality of the food.

It was the first time trying Filipino food and it was fantastic. We were a family of four with two young children. Every dish we tried was full of flavour and beautifully executed. The spring rolls, sliders, prawn noodles, rib eye steak, garlic fried rice and morning glory. The wines choices Riesling and Cote Du Rhone were well selected and held up to the bold flovaour. The staff were friendly, attentive and overall a wonderful meal.

This place is it! It’s the best burger I’ve had in London, roti is amazing as well as the curries.

I moved un just around the corner recently and have now been to Bintang 3 times. I think the food is original if very high quality and very sensibly priced. Great cocktails and a cool, fun atmosphere too.

First time experience with Filipino foods. Really impressed by the food and service here.

I've been there was, and I like their take on serving small Filipino plates in a format that makes it easy to try a lot of things and to share. Last time we got the liver popcorn, which were cooked just right still creamy on the inside. Got the slider as well, where the beef was cooked just right, and in a bun that was as tasty as the filling. We also had the lamb ribs, which were tender with a nice sweet sauce. Service is quick and attentive, many vegetarian and gluten free options available.

Here for some chill out drinkies & good vibes🍾️ This is easily the best slider I’ve had in the UK! The bartender is so friendly and professional!!

3.5* Went for a girl's night. Loved the downstairs seating area which can accommodate large groups. Appreciated the variety of really delicious cocktails for those that choose not to imbibe. We tried the chicken wings and the okoy vegetable fritters as starters along with the spring rolls. The spring rolls had a gaminess flavor to them that I did not enjoy. Chicken wings were crispy and hot and the fritters were my favorite! For mains we ordered the sea bream, morning glory, Inasal chicken and oxtail curry and roti canai. The chicken was probably my favorite main along with the fish. It went really well with the garlic fried rice which I highly recommend! The roti was the most disappointing. It tasted like the frozen Shana paratha that you can get at the grocery stores. I was hoping for a fresh made flakey roti. The curry that it came seemed to be similar to the curry on the fish. Morning Glory was a delightful vegetable side dish! Crisp and fresh. We didn't get dessert on this occasion because we wanted to go next door to Mamasan.

The food is flavorful and amazing, especially the half chicken and garlic rice, most important is the cocktails are so damn good. The bartender is so nice and cute. Really love the vibe, service and drinks here. Although it’s a little bit far from the city center, it close to underground station westminster. Highly recommended to those who want to try Asian food.

Foor was really nice. Service wise: the waitress helped both me and and sister get ours Buggy's down stairs and even put the music low so my baby could sleep. They were really family friendly.

Great service, good food and amazing drinks. The old fashioned in particular was an absolute winner

The food was ridiculously good. Friendly staff. Stayed outside but think downstairs is nicer. Cocktails are pretty good too.

Absolutely amazing place - the staff are wonderful, the vibes are fantastic, the food is FANTASTIC and my friend said her cocktail was the best shed ever had.

One of the best restaurants I've eaten at in my nearly ten years in London

Decent taste, small portions, very slow service even when it's not busy.

We discovered this wonderful Pan-Asia restaurant which serves Filipino all time favourites and is just few minute walk from Camden Town Tube Station. We had a great feast and all the food was full of flavours and delectable. The staff were very friendly and attentive to customers' needs . It is a pleasant experience and we will definitely visit again.

Best experience in London. Loveliest staff, delicious food, cocktails are incredible. I wanna move in 🤤💙

Amazing, delectable Asian food here!!! After trying it the first time for happy hour and dinner, was back within a week with the entire family for lunch! Lovely atmosphere and super friendly service. Fabulous cocktails, too! An hour’s commute for us to reach but definitely worth it!

Amazing place and amazing food! I recommend getting the lamb ribs for a starter the sauce was incredible and the dirty fried rice. Overall it was a great menu and attentive service.

Really lovely hidden gem in North London - fresh and creative flavours, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Cocktails also divine!

Silogs are back and better than ever. The longanisa was cooked to perfection which was complimented by the garlic fried rice and egg

Elite experience for me, great setup & location & all dishes were superb - highly recommended!!!. Also want to note that I went during lunchtime when it was less busy - I always recommend that if you want to check if the food is really up to par.

Attended as part of the London Restaurant Festival, which we think is a great idea of experiencing different places to eat. The food were delightful small plates of tasty and succulent food. The service however was not so good hence a mediocre rating. It may have been due to new staff so I hope the rating does not put anyone off, as I still think it’s still worth trying out. We ate in the small rear garden which was quite rustic with wooden scaffolding benches but it had a good atmosphere. Hopefully they have made sure there are no more nails protruding from the wooden seats. Overall I would go again just for the food.

No more bingtang noodles?! SAD 😢

Honestly the best ribs I’ve ever had, get them if you like lamb. Everything else was also exceptional including the service.

The place is cool, and had a great refurb, but unfortunately our experience wasn't great. Sat down and heard the two best things on the menu had run out (at 6pm), so had to choose the options I didn't really want. When the food arrived, it was oily and dense and all had the same peanut-ty flavour. The meat was mostly bone. Disappointing. Then the bill came and I nearly spat out my Tiger. Way, way overpriced. I know we're dealing with inflation, but £50 each for a beer and two small dishes?

AB FAB FOOD! Tasty af, great service - you can’t go wrong with anything you order. They take card (even Amex!) This was the perfect intro to Filipino food. We loved the pandesal slider with asmr-able buns (my mother doesn’t love burgers but named it as her fave!) The lamb rendang was tender and flavourful; same goes for the oxtail kare kare. The chicken inasal was juicy, tofu bites were tasty too! The mama son’s (young black coconut) buko pie with ube/buko/queso ice cream also slaps ALSO currently have the independence special drinks, including corn sour and ube clarified colada - drool. Even non-die hard corn fans loved jt.

Visited this placed 2 years ago and had an amazing time so wanted to go again, and sadly, the place has unexpectedly gone downhill since then. We arrived to the restaurant at 5:15pm (Google and their website states they open at 5pm) when we tried to go in, door was open however, one of the staff members said they're not open yet as they have a staff meeting and wold be open in an hour and half....why have your doors open if you're not open to customers and why doesn't the website say that? I saw another comment about they seem to open whenever they feel like, and that still seems to be the case. Already the experience there was disappointing. We decided to wait around as we made the journey there, when we finally got seated, they stated we could only sit on one of the two tables upstairs and not go downstairs, which was a bit bizarre tbh and no reason was offered. Annoyingly, it was absolutely freezing where we were seated and the door was constantly opened by staff. There was a small heater but only placed selfishly where the workers were in the back. The food was still good however, the whole experience was strange, dissatisfying and staff really did the minimum and did not check in on us. Most likely wont be going again as our experience was not good as the first time which is a real shame.

This place is EXTORTIONATE. It’s no longer BYOB btw for anyone who has been before. We had shared starters between 7 (4 plates) plus mains and 2 portions of greens - plus drinks it was £64 each??? Nearly fell off my chair Food was really standard too - I had the pad Thai which was chicken and prawns (only got 3 prawns) and the chicken was so smoky I couldn’t eat it. Service wasn’t really anything to write home about either… waiters dropped two bottles of beer on my friend at the start with no real apology after. Minimum for a bottle of wine is £36 and it was so average (plus not even chilled)… Wouldn’t ever go back

Advertises as open from noon on a Friday but seems they actually open whenever they like. Travelled a long way to find this out … I have been here six times now and have had trouble with opening times on four occasions. Probably won’t be back which is a shame as the food is decent.

My wife and I have been meaning to visit Bintang for a while now as we regularly go to Guanabana which has the same owners a few doors away. What a disappointment this place was. I spent £50 and the food was not nice or authentic. The Rengdan was watery and lacked flavour, my wife had chicken thigh with rice and potatoes, again lacked flavour. We paid £4.50 for guava and lime. It’s basically Rubicon guava drink with a small slice of lime. I asked for the service charge to be taken off as I can never understand why we pay extra money to be served in a restaurant. I go to a restaurant to be served so why does your menu not reflect the service price? On their online menu which we scanned it said £4.50 for egg fried rice, when I got home I realised they charged me £5.50. This is annoying, it’s not about the £1, why can you not get your pricing right? We paid £8 for 4 small wings that was mediocre at best. The gentlemen who served us was nice and polite so no issues there but I will never ever step foot into this place again. My wife doesn’t often say much but she definitely wasn’t impressed with this place either.

Visited as a group of friends recently - while the waiters were very nice they accidentally gave 1 of the group, who is a vegetarian, a chicken curry (which she only realised when she bit into it), rather than the prawn curry she’d ordered. They then tried to charge us for the replacement prawn curry to fix the mistake. They didn’t even give her her prawn curry on the house, when they’d given a vegetarian chicken! They also charged us for extra bottles for corkage. All in all, felt a bit ripped off. They definitely shouldn’t have tried to charge us extra for their mistake and should have given the veggie something as a token of goodwill and as an apology. Just be mindful to check your bill if you’re in a large group.

The food at Bintang was aamazing! All the dishes tasted really different to each, nice and fresh. The adobe fired chicken wings were bomb. Big portions and well priced. The desserts from next door were a really nice touch too. Only thing that was a slight negative is the slow service however, it looked like one waiter was manning several tables and he did go out of his way to accommodate everyone. In these times, the reduced staff is understandable. i will deffo be coming again when in London and have already recommended the place to friends who are heading down south :)

Nothing in their filipino menu taste like my home country. pls dont say it’s Filipino food if you can’t serve the real original authentic actual genuine taste of such menu!! it’s a shame!! I love my Filipino roots and proud of my kare-kare, inasal, adobo, pansit but eating here will confuse you if ur in a filipino restaurant or carribean. NOTHING TASTE RIGHT. 😞

When you get order wrong, don’t argue. To get told I have what I ordered when I haven’t is somewhat daft. I ordered a meat dish and was given a vegetable version. But chef insists I’m wrong. So upshot, yes they fixed it but went to wrong place, tasted just warm enough after waiting 25 mins for replacement but did taste good. Will me or place of work be using this place again? No. Annoying part is I recommend the place. Food flavour is very good. Customer service very bad. Don’t argue with customers please. We can tell the difference between meat and vegetables.

Visited Bintang last weekend after it was recommended by a friend. This unassuming little gem on the outskirts of Camden was worth the short walk. Our hosts Mel and Joseph were very welcoming and made some excellent suggestions. We particularly enjoyed the Lamb skewers and the spicy chicken wing starters. The meat was succulent and the curry, full of flavour. The menu is very well priced and the option to BYOB really helps to cut the cost. Make sure you ask to sit out in their spacious garden which really elevated the experience. Big love for Bintang!

Eaten in the related restaurants (Mamasons et al) a couple of times. Been a while since I have been here. Starters are made with the care normally reserved for mains. Wasabi prawns are incredible and an absolute stand out. Salt and pepper calamari, whilst a more subtle flavour were very well cooked. Mains were the Pancit Canton noodles with Prawns. Amazingly good, prawn noodles are such a staple its hard to be surprised but the flavouring seemed to seperate out the seafood from the noodles distinctively. Desert from next door is also recommended. The homemade 'ades as a drink was fresh and refreshing. Its easy to do this style of food to an okay standard, but the wonderful combination of friendly service, tasteful, aromatic and incredibly photogenic food and a wonderful, slightly rustic ambience made it a brilliant experience.

I've visited Bintang several times and it never disappoints! Great atmosphere, value for money and food to die for! Service is super friendly and I've always felt super welcome. It's my go-to place for Asian cuisine -treat in London!

I left wondering how this managed to make its way into the top ten places eat in Camden. Average at best.

Was initially nervous about the resaraunt as it is tucked away and very unassuming. However the food was incredible and only made better by the staff - Debbie and Joseph talked us through the menu and made sure we were well looked after. They even offered us limes to take home for our drinks! Will definitely be visiting again to try the rest of the menu.

This is a nice and friendly restaurant but only if you walk in with a small number of people. The food is good and tasty and very much recommended. However, I would have liked to have brought a group of friends there. Perhaps 8 or 10 people! But if you book in advance for a group they will only accept that if you have their "Party Menu". That is for a small number of choices of main courses and a mixed selection of starters and also covers unlimited corkage and their 12.5% service charge. Now that might well suit a group of young boozers. Unfortunately, my friends are a selection of different people. Some do not drink alcohol, some do not eat prawns and some are on limited income and cannot afford the £35 each cost of their party menu. But at this restaurant does not give you any choice! For a prebooked group you MUST have their Party Menu with no exception! So out of the question for my varied friends!

I rarely leave reviews but really felt inclined to leave one after recently celebrating my birthday at Bintang. I’ve often gone to Bintang and their other sister restaurants for food but was blown away by how accommodating they were for a big party group and how smooth the whole experience was. Firstly I arrived with ten guests on a busy Saturday night and after a quick conversation with the manager realised we had booked the wrong date. Instead of turning us away, they responded calmly and within minutes had rustled up a table big enough to fit everyone. They also had buckets of ice waiting for the drinks we had brought! The food was delicious and plentiful and when there were leftovers the waitresses happily boxed things up for people to take away. This is amongst delivering a candle lit bday cake, plates and more cutlery.

Really nice food in a (rare?) Philippine London restaurant. Nice and spicy - large, meaty portions tasting as they are described in the menu. Will come back.

He estado buscando un buen restaurante filipino, aquí tienes, Bintang es el lugar para estar. Muy buena comida. Las alitas de pollo filipino son absolutamente increíbles. amigo sucio arroz? Por qué no. Es excelente. Puede creer que tengo la historia detrás de este plato en el menú.Muy recomendable.

Really cool artisan environment with really good food and very clean atmosphere. Tables were sparkling, never felt more comfortable somewhere. One individual in particular, Joseph, was incredibly attentive and made us feel very at home

After passing by Bintang on the bus for several years, a group of three of us decided to try it on New Years Eve. Unfortunately the restaurant was only offering a set menu however we agreed to go with it as most restaurants usually have this sort of thing on NYE. But then we were told it was cash only, a £5 corkage fee each and then an additional 12.5 percent service charge. I'm not sure why we had to pay the service charge as the service wasn't great. Staff struggled to take our order or listen to what we wanted - it was a two course set menu. The food itself was very nice but nowhere near worth the £40 we ended up paying each for a two course meal. It was very disappointing.

Joseph is a great waiter. Food was so so so tasty. Can’t recommend enough. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Great price and a BYOB!!

Joesph you made our day 💑 exceptional service with a smile 😃 we will recommend you everyone we now

Went there for work Xmas night out absolutely appalling that we were given and charged extra for people who could not make it because they were unwell, even though they were told in advance that they couldn’t attend. They don’t have a drink licence we where told after arranging event that a corkage charge would be extortionate £10 then lower to £8.50 on the day it was £5 but they didn’t ask who was drinking. The food quality was mixed and the service was poor. Will NEVER go back after tonight, don’t go there there and certainly don’t book a party.

Liked the selection of dishes on here; it seemed to be a mix of Filipino and Japanese. I’m not too familiar with Filipino so it was cool to have a try of some of their dishes. Starters were really nice, we had satay chicken and crispy squid. For our mains we had dirty rice (in the photo) which has lots of lovely bits of prawn, chicken, beef, mango, onions and chillis in it; it was like a special fried rice on steroids and a very big portion! It came with a lovely sauce resembling kewpie mayonnaise and some really nice pickled cucumbers. Regrettably, I couldn’t eat too much of it because I found it to be a bit greasy, and greasy food makes me feel sick however I would have liked to have finished it! We also had bbq lamb ribs which I thought were too sugary. In terms of service, although we were welcomed into the restaurant because we got there early before the actual opening time, they didn’t seem that attentive afterwards. Also annoying because the staff seemed to be nipping in and out the front door all the time letting all the cold air in. It was a tad difficult to grab someone’s attention even though we were the only people in the place. Also it was strange because they bought my mum’s coffee in from the outside which again whooshed all the cold air in.

The food here was average, very good setting in the garden, jungle themed. Service was excellent, can’t complain.

Been there a few times recently and always enjoy the food. Like the fusion menu which has some unique dishes. Small and relaxed restaurant. Average price but above average food! Will pop in again when in the area I'm sure. BTW, BYO drink which makes it a cheap eat in my book!

The food is really nice, but the service was a bit impersonal and slow, they didn’t seem very happy to see customers. The restaurant and basement is a pretty tired looking. Maybe try the takeaway.

So the main thing I’ve got to say is the food was INSANELY good. We were a party of 14 with several vegetarians and more than one incredibly fussy eater, and everyone was delighted which is quite an achievement. I have no idea what the people leaving 1* reviews are thinking.

- our food was served one hour after we ordered - the table was smelling of meat - the food was awful - Ultef curry had over-dose of pepper - bad customer service Would not recommend this at all. Waste of time and money.

We happened to be in Kentish town for my husband's birthday so decided to eat here. The food was delicious and service quick. Will definitely come here again to try other dishes. Reasonably priced too.

The food we ordered was fried in a heavy batter. There was a pile of just batter on my plate. They forgot my husband dinner. The atmosphere was nice but it’s definitely over priced.

8 of us had the party menu, which was ideal as we all got to try lots: a mix of 5 starters, a main each, and corkage, service and two types of soda were all included in the set price. As the organiser, this also made it sooooooo much easier for us all to pay, and avoided the time-consuming and sometimes awkward splitting of the bill. The pre-ordering also meant the food came quickly, which helped us make our engagement afterwards. I will now 100% look for other restaurants that do similar, such a great idea!

El lugar era bastante encantador. Se ve tan acogedor Familia de mi hermana, yo y mi esposo vinimos aquí después de un largo vuelo de inmediato. Mi sobrina fue la que nos trajo aquí. En realidad, es una fusión asiática, pero no dejes de lado la mayoría del menú, somos comida filipina. La comida estaba deliciosa. En particular, el "laing", el sabor y la forma de hacerlo fueron exactamente como deberían ser. Hay que probarlo si estás en Londres.

¿Qué puedo decir sobre Bintang? Comencé a comer aquí en 2001, viví a la vuelta de la esquina. Detrás de ellos, podrías rellenarte la cara por muy poco, tienen una excelente política para traer tu propia política, que en ese entonces era tal vez una libra por botella e incluso con mi humilde salario en aquel entonces podía permitirme comer allí. Tener tantos recuerdos especiales del lugar, siempre fue acogedor, un poco en mal estado que se sumó al encanto. La comida siempre fue excelente y nunca me sentí agobiada.

The waiter was very friendly and tried to be helpful. However the place is completely rundown and I did not see any hygiene rating reasons on there for probably a good reason. The garden is an absolute state with bird muck on all the tables. Whole place looks like it’s about to be closed down. Maybe it is? The noodle dish with Thai basil had no Thai basil in it! There are pest control devices around the restaurant also. I truly cannot understand how they got so many good ratings. Sorry as the staff were nice

A small cosy restaurant, but staff are great. They were super friendly, gave great recommendations for dishes, the food itself was top notch. Highly recommend the Bintang, and the Ulek (which is spicy so not for faint hearted)

Immediately re-booked! (BYOB, Cash Only)

After one too many cocktails my friend and I realised we should probably soak up our overpriced poncey cocktails with some grub.

My partner ordered takeaway from here on Friday. Walked 10 mins to collect it. They’d forgotten to cook his food. He said, right, fair enough, these things happened. He went home, waited half an hour as advised, walked back, so 40 mins of waiting 40 mins of walking. They’d forgotten again! The waitress originally dealing with him actually hid. The chef apparently didn’t seem bothered. They didn’t offer him anything they had available, or any food at all. By this time other takeaways are shut. Fun on a Friday night was a bowl of soup from the back of the fridge.

I had the seafood Bintang. The prawns were lovely, the rest of the seafood was awful. The taste and texture suggested they had been overcooked and reheated. The sauce was bland and lacked any real depth of flavour. A very disappointing meal.

Great place. Lovely people and really amazing food. Authentic menu and a panacea for chain restaurants

Decided to dine here with a friend, after the yummy looking dishes on social media. Nice greeting from the staff, and sat down on a minimalistic table. There was a nice hubbub of noise adding to atmosphere as restaurant is not too big on the ground floor and was almost full. Sat down, and advised of the 1 hour time limit on the table. Ordered food, and was served within around 12 minutes. I ordered some Ulek egg noodles; slightly spicy but tasty and filling. Ordered some wings, which were okay. Also ordered some Lamb ribs which we were excited about; although the lamb was tender and fall of the bone, it was a little too sweet for our palate. My friend enjoyed his Curry main and garlic rice. We also had a dessert to finish off, which was ice cream inside a freshly made bun; this was a nice ending to the meal. Overall we enjoyed our meal; probably over ordered for two people but the service was good, and dishes very off the cuff. Atmosphere was nice, and you could tell the establishment had its regulars. The owner was friendly, and very enthusiastic about the restaurant; and that resonated with the quality and thought which had gone into the food. Maybe not quite to my palate, but that's more of a personal choice!

We had an exceptional experience here with friends before a gig at The Roundhouse. A staff member called Mifta served us and made our meal a real pleasure. He was polite, friendly and knowledgeable about every dish. Thank you Mifta.

Tuvimos una comida increíble en este acogedor restaurante Phillippino en Camden.

Cenamos aquí el día de San Valentín, lo que obviamente puede ser un poco arriesgado en términos de restaurantes llenos y un poco caóticos. Bintang estaba definitivamente lleno, pero el personal era amable y servicial a pesar de estar muy ocupado. La comida era fantástica, picante pero equilibrada, con una mezcla de diferentes estilos y sabores asiáticos y del mundo, todos muy frescos y sabrosos. Los precios son muy razonables también. Definitivamente planeando volver en un futuro cercano!

salir a cenar con mi otra mitad, después de meses, quería probar bintang por un tiempo pero no tuve oportunidad! Visitamos esta noche, MEJOR COMIDA, MEJOR SERVICIO, lugar pequeño pero esto es lo mejor de todo, ¡no demasiado abarrotado! Sin duda lo recomiendo para una buena noche de comida tailandesa! Sin duda volveremos de nuevo!

Me encanta este lugar BYOB en Kentish Town Road. Calidad excelente, excelentes platos asiáticos con un menú de especialidades siempre cambiantes y un servicio encantador. Excelente relación calidad-precio, especialmente cuando se usa BYOBing, recuerde que debe obtener algo de dinero antes de llegar, ya que no aceptan tarjetas.

Vine a cenar con mi novio y la comida era increíble. Las alas son las mejores de Londres: grandes, jugosas y muy sabrosas. Tuve el buko suka como plato principal y mi compañero optó por el pollo bintang con arroz con ajo. El arroz con ajo era increíble, muy sabroso y nuestros dos platos principales fueron increíbles. Mi pollo estaba crujiente, deliciosamente sazonado y tierno por dentro. En todo caso, nos sobre ordenamos; Las porciones están en el lado grande. Es BYOB y solo efectivo. El servicio fue fabuloso. Nuestras dos camareras eran amables y acogedoras. Volveremos, gracias equipo Bintang!

So my husband has been desperate to go to this place to eat because everyone he knows who has been has been talking about the chicken wings...

We arrived rather lat for dinner.

Have been here many times and it is always spot on! Can’t believe we stumbled upon such a gem!
