WOW. Kiln was extraordinarily brilliant. I have been trying to get in for months and tonight was our moment! We had the best evening. The food is exceptional, so are the drinks, but for me it's the whole package : the music, the vibe, the design, the lighting, the staff. it's all 10/10 brilliant. It's the perfect autumnal/wintery restaurant to hunker down in and fill up on warming dishes in a really energising, casual, sexy atmosphere. My new favourite spot without a doubt. Will be back for noodles!

The food was decent, but extremely overpriced for what they are, even for a central london spot. Considering the price, it is very much underwhelming. The bar floor also blasts music to a point where you have to shout at your friends, if you like that you like that I guess. Wouldn’t recommend.

I guess it's fine to sit in the second half of the restaurant, but the first half, by the door, is just not pleasant. You have people standing behind you waiting for a table, the door constantly opening, and people screaming because the music is just too loud. It's almost like they make it unpleasant in order to favour the turnover.

It's completely OK to have a walk in policy. However, if you have to policy to text back for a table, then you have to do that. We get your a busy, popular restrant. But, leaving people hanging and not texting to say you won't get a table is polite, and ensures the people that want to eat at your restrant don't ruin there night. I went back to the restrant to ask how things are going with the queue, and couldn't get any details on if the booking would happen and when (in time to change my plans) Pretty rude really. Also very embarrassing because I ruined the whole night for all my friends because I said we should go to kiln. Restrant looked cool tho...

This is an expensive novelty experience. Food is pretty authentic. Spicy. You'll be going somewhere else afterwards however to get a proper meal as you'll still be hungry unless u r prepared to spend £70+ each or have the appetite of a sparrow. £6+ for 1 small sausage as an example. Go for an experience not if you actually want a meal. Jollibee is good afterwards.

This restaurant was mid. After seeing it in multiple different videos, recommended by celebs, and various lists, we decided to check it out. We sat in the basement with no windows, no air con, no fans. We were sweating our nuts off from the moment we sat down. Service: mid. You can’t change anything on the menu if you’re not keen on an ingredient. If you have the 3PM reservation, unlucky, as they will pressure you to make all your decisions as soon as you sit down as the restaurant closes soon. Like don’t offer the reservation if you don’t want people to order more food. Food: it’s the only saving grace but it’s also not AMAZING. Much better places to spend your hard earned cash on in the area

Can't fault the food. The glass noodles and the steak were favourites! Loved the chicken and soy too. However our evening was pretty let down by the 3.5 hour wait. I understand on a Friday night it will be busy and we were totally prepared to wait but they let us wait in the queue for 1 hour before getting to the front to tell us it was another 2 hour wait from there, which turned into 2.5. It wouldn't take much to let people know before they wait for an hour, and I've never been somewhere which is so off with estimating wait times. Good food but have had food just as good with a better system in place. A real shame.

Fantastic restaurant in Soho offering Thai inspired recipes in a unique "open kitchen" setting. I really enjoyed my time here and wish I could have tried the entire menu since it's great for sharing as well. Loved every single dish I tried and definitely recommend it if you like bold and interesting flavours. Wine list is solid as well. Price unbeatable for the quality and location. 5+++

Food took a while to get to us. The pork chop ribs are okay (slightly overpriced). It was cooked with very fatty pork. Half of the pork pieces were just fat with no meat on it, texture-wise it was not quite pleasant to have a mouthful of fat and not meat. I am not sure why this meal is so expensive. I am confused as to why this is rated as the top Thai restaurant in London and why it has a 2 hour wait.

Food was over hyped and over priced, was really looking forward to the monkfish curry but for £24 we got 2 tiny mouthfuls of monkfish and the curry was quite bland. The pork loin was 75% fat so that was disappointing too. Had high expectations and was disappointed, especially for how much we paid - would not recommend.

Very rushed, also very cramped downstairs (two couples on a four person table which was far too cosy, also this was after a long wait despite booking). Expected some great food, some were really tasty but the fish curry was too bitter to even eat. We were still finishing our cocktail and food when the bill was slammed down.

Not sure what the fuss is about. Essentially spicy offal . Amount of fish/ meat in the dishes is very low to non existent . Had jungle curry with smoked mackerel , there was a small piece of mackerel whereas glass noodles supposedly with pork and brown crab meat. Blow me if I could find or taste it. Bit of a rip off.

Modern take on thai food. The chicken liver was interesting, tasted almost like satay. Som tum with cockles was light and refreshing to cut though all the herbs and spices in the other dishes. Laab sausage was a much better choice than the grilled chicken. Place was quite cramp. I have people brushing again my back the whole night while I was eating cos I was seated near the door. Wait can be quite long, now that they don't do reservations anymore. Go up to the host and leave your number for them to contact you once the table is ready.

**If you don’t have a reservation and are trying to walk in…prepare yourself for a 2 hr wait.** I think this is truthfully a 3.5 star review. Really what brought down the star is the wait and procedure to get seated. We came on a weeknight and put our name down with the host at 7:15 pm. Estimated wait was 1-1.5 hours. We got a text to come back to the restaurant at 8:45 pm, but unfortunately we waited to be seated against the wall of the restaurant until 9:20 pm. God bless the host who was trying to juggle seating, putting people on the wait list, and also bussing tables and bringing orders to those seated. He was trying his best and it was just too much for one person to manage, and it was hard to track him down. not sure if it was just an off night, but the over 2 hour wait with 30 min of standing in a narrow hallway waiting to be seated really killed the dinner mood. On to the food, which was delicious! Most were small plates and meant to be shared. Not ur typical Thai food but an amalgamation of Thai and south Asian flavors and inspirations. The highlights we liked were the clay pot glass noodles and the chicken liver with pickled garlic. Flavors were fantastic and so good we added another chicken liver order. The northern thai sausages were also delicious. The other dishes were good to so so. The jungle curry with mackerel was unfortunately the weakest dish. Watery sauce, salty but lacking in flavor, with mackerel with spines still stewed in the curry…it was not memorable and felt like an afterthought. We also had a dish with cockerels with marinated cucumber and many were not open so harder to eat. Atmosphere: small restaurant with counter seating on the ground floor and table seating below. Casual and you can see directly into the chaotic kitchen where the action happens. I will say sitting by the grill would be much warmer and perhaps difficult in the summer. Not great for families with children and those that need accessibility access. Service: servers were great and took time to make recommendation. Everyone was nice and courteous despite a chaotic night with a lot of diners. All in all, there were standout dishes and perhaps coming for lunch is the way to go. But I’m not sure the food is worth such a long wait. Given we went to the restaurant close to 7 and left the restaurant at 10:45 pm…it is too long of a dining experience

Mid September 2024. Such is the buzz for Kiln that the arrival felt a little claustrophobic - tiny restaurant with a queue of 30-40 odd people, many of whom gathered inside around the door and right beside the tables. I had people pushing me when trying to proceed to my table where my boyfriend was already seated. Thankfully we had a table downstairs which was much quieter. Although for those who wish for the visuals and for those who can handle the heat, upstairs may have a more fun atmosphere with more visuals to admire. We ordered the following: -Soy glazed chicken thighs. Good but not life-changing. Juicy. Crispy skin. Only a lime to squeeze on top - felt like it was missing a flavour pairing drizzle or sauce. 6.5/10. -Bavette steak. Perfectly cooked medium rare with the most glorious bed of what tasted like an elevated teriyaki, with lots of other zesty flavours and some crunchy toppings. So good! Arrived an hour and ten minutes after ordering. 8.5/10. -Cul yaw and cumin lamb skewer. Seared beautifully and deliciously seasoned but still fridge cold in the centre. 4/10. -Cornish greens and soy delicious, light, really umami 8/10. -Claypot glass noodles. Pretty good. 7/10. -Hake curry - Such a taste sensation! Tasted the sauce alone first and found it to be very sour, yet, when you have it with the hake it all comes together and is heavenly. Really delicious dish and harmoniously sweet, salty, tangy and sour. 8/10. We got our dishes at odd times and most came slowly, but the steak arrived much later than everything else and I was getting full up before it arrived. This is something you should forwarn customers about. Service was friendly and sound.

The menu features a variety of traditional dishes, from fragrant curries to flavorful stir-fries, all prepared with fresh ingredients and bold spices.

If you're looking for a modern twist on Thai cuisine, Kiln is definitely a spot worth trying. I've been coming here for a few years now, and while the food remains consistently excellent, there hasn't been much change in the menu over time. That said, everything they serve is full of flavour and well-prepared, making it great value for the quality you get. One of my favourite aspects of dining here is sitting at the counter where you can watch the chefs in action—it's a vibrant and immersive experience that really adds to the meal. However, I must say that dining downstairs offers a different vibe altogether. It's not bad, but it lacks the same energy and can feel a bit underwhelming in comparison. Although the initial "wow" factor I felt on my first visit has faded slightly with time, the food at Kiln is still top-notch and absolutely worth a visit. Whether you're new to Thai food or a seasoned fan, this place won't disappoint.

The quality of food at this restaurant is very good. They excel at spicy Thai flavours, and all dishes are really good. However the staff could do with some significant improvement. We ordered a specific dish as part of our meal and it never arrived. After asking for it after waiting for 45 mins we were were rudely told that “it had sold out”. No one had told us at the point of purchase that this dish had run out, so we were expecting to be served it. We were not offered anything else. We also waited a long time for the pork dish. Whilst it was delicious, no one told us at the point of purchase that it took 45 minutes. Staff generally were all over the place. Drinks took a long time and dishes were served as hoc and not in a logical order.

The variety of dishes available is quite limited, also the menu warns customers that some dishes are extremely hot/spicy so that limits the choice even more if you are not keen on extremely spicy food. The food was very nice but portions were very small. We spent £180 for a meal for 4 and I was a long way from being full. I’m not sure if it was normal for this restaurant but the various dishes were served at different times with long gaps between them and the last dish hadn’t come out and we had finished everything else some time ago so we asked them to cancel it.

A modern take to Thai food. I have been going to Kiln for a while now, and the first time being almost 5 years ago. The food here is still good to this day, but the menu hasn’t changed much. Everything is delicious, and for the quality that it is I think it is well priced. I also love sitting on the booth and watching the chefs cook. However, i do feel that if you sit downstairs, the experience is completely different and can be a little underwhelming. I also think that it did not give me the same kind of wow factor as the first time I tried it. Don’t get me wrong, the food here is still amazing and still worth going to.

One of my favourite restaurants in London. Great atmosphere and even better food. Clay pot noodles are a must, but everything on their menu that I’ve tried has been amazing. Sometimes a bit of a wait but you can leave your name and go for a drink across the street at The Glasshouse Stores.

Food was authentic and excellent depth of flavours! Pork belly was a stand out. Be careful - they mean it when they say something is spicy! Service could be improved a bit, but the atmosphere is very rustic if you're into that

I really enjoyed the food in Kiln. They changed my mind about Thai food. I read reviews before I went and a bit worried about the atmosphere as some people said they didn’t like. For me, totally fine! It was perfect for a casual weekend lunch. I sat at the counter with my boyfriend, the staff were very nice and gave me lots of information whenever I asked them questions about the food. I loved Laap sausage, also Glass noodles were full of flavours. I love cooking and cook lots of different types of food at home but I won’t be able to make the Kiln’s glass noodle. I’ll go back for it for sure. My two teenager kids were more interested in Sushi on the day we went, so they had sushi in a shop along the street and came later to join us. A lady staff happily welcomed them in and made space for us at the basement floor so we all could sit down together. The pork took a long time to get to the table but we were told it would take 45 minutes to cook when we ordered so we were okay 👍

Food is ok, I wasn’t so impressed… sorry If you like to stay in long queues or feel a the hot place around you that’s your place… Even to ask and wait for the bill it takes time … amazing job guys

We sat downstairs in the basement the music was far too loud for a room that’s small especially those sitting right under the speakers. The first thing waitress said to us was the menu “can be confusing” - then why not change the menu to make it clearer. We were told to pick 5-7 dishes for 2 people, and the portions were incredibly small - definitely charging Thai street food at 20x. When the red fish curry arrived it looked and tasted like tom yum more than curry, fish was like sardine and full of bones which was just unpleasant to have. The only rice available was brown rice, why is there no Thai jasmine rice? No chopsticks or knifes were offered which made it hard to eat some of the dishes. Kiln is marketed as Thai street food but I don’t feel like it captured the essence even slightly, this place is at best fusion Thai and marketed for the western community at extortion prices.

A site that will soon become, if it is not already, a true reference in the city. The prices are not exaggerated at all, knowing the area it is in and the product they offer. We had to wait half an hour but it was worth it. They serve quickly and the food is delicious. We ordered a stir-fry of vegetables with a light sauce, a red hake curry that was just right on the spicy side and very tasty, some noodles that weren't anything out of this world, but were still very good, and a kind of stuffed sausage served in four cuts, accompanied by some very spicy peppers. I handle spiciness very well, but those chiles were too much. However, the sausage was exceptionally good. However, the strong point of this place was the chicken. I have never eaten chicken as juicy and as good as the one I ate there. You probably won't do it again anywhere else. Exceptional, impressive, only for the chicken I would repeat. It is very worth booking at this place. He has the makings of being one of the city's great Thais.

Excellent Thai spot with unconventional inventive dishes with a modernist approach to ingredients etc. great to find a Thai spot without pad Thai or mince basil rice. Price is fine but seating could be more comfortable. Better for casual lunch than dinner. Claypot noodles and northern sausage my highlights

**Walk in only and all your party must be there before you can be seated.** The food was delicious and we didn't wait too long to be seated. Service was also great as we were advised on how many dishes to order and their levels of spice. We ate 75% of the menu. We were sat opposite the open grill/flame where they cooked the food so it was HOT. If you're sat here get you water with ice and prepared to be permanently flushed🫠 I've been here once before a few years back but this second experience with the (updated menu?) was better.

A very cool restaurant with first-class food and a great team! I was here with my 19-year-old son and we really enjoyed the visit. The dishes were excellent and offered little surprises. The non-alcoholic drinks were also creative and delicious. You have to allow for a short wait.

The food at Kiln is excellent. If you’re not a fan of spice, avoid this place - If you are, you’ll enjoy the flavours and dishes here. Really superb take on Thai recipes.

Thai is my favorite food. I started with a cosmopolitan. Some places make them sweeter than I like but the waiter was kind enough to bring me some limes. I ordered pad si-we, medium spice and water. The noodles were cooked perfectly but the chicken was very dry. The dish lacked flavor and no spice. I asked again for water.

Nice cozy neighbourhood restaurant, friendly staff, tasty food and good value for money. Had only a light lunch, but this as enough to make me want to go there for a bigger meal at some point.
