Kiln in City of London, Westminster

Lunchtime visit in the basement. Skewers, chicken and soy, and sardines to start all very good with a couple of Pale Ales. Then chicken livers which were spicy hot, pad ped cull yaw which were very spicy with greens and sticky rice. With service £94. Food came promptly, was tasty, waiting staff did warn the pad ped cull yaw was very hot and it was!!! All In all tasted and looked very authentic and we'll stick a pin in to go again.

Came here recently for dinner on a Saturday night—had reservations so we were seated right away downstairs. The restaurant is fairly small. Our table was shared with another party. Food was just okay, nothing really “wow” us. Tried the Jin Toob with Miyagawa (meat was too tough), Slow Grilled Chicken & Soy (too bland), Laap Sausage, Slow Grilled John Dory (no flavor), Mackerel Salad, Sticky Rice, Three Pepper Jowl, and Radish Salad. Prices are reasonable but portions are on the smaller side.

Really really good in terms of almost everything! The foods are very delicious and professionally cooked. How they use spices and how they cook are well mastered. Ingredients are very fresh and clean. The logistics and organisations are in a good manner. Services are very friendly. And it’s really good for the value. Highly recommend.

Everyone that hyped up this restaurant… is lying. We ordered the soy chicken, thai sausage, clay pot noodle, red curry monkfish, and sautéed soy vegetables. the first three dishes ranged from decent to good, and we were happy to pay the price for those that we ordered. Our gripe really comes down to the last to dishes. The monkfish is £24 for two golf ball size pieces of meat. Understandably, monkfish is an expensive ingredient, however transparency is much appreciated when you are that comfortable charging your customers for that amount. The large gap in pricing also mislead us to believe it would be more substantial compared to the rest of the menu. the red curry seasoning was bold and vibrant but the monkfish was oversalted. This leads to my next point about the soy sautéed vegetables. It felt like these leaves were washed in salt water, marinated in brine, and cooked in reduced soy sauce. The salt was so infiltrated in every cell that even diluting the dish with fresh water couldn’t solve the issue. Although we didn’t eat this with rice, rice would not have helped either. I also suspect that the leaves were overcooked and limp. As an Asian person, I have had my fair share of sautéed vegetables, so it feels weird for trained chefs to mess up something so basic and ubiquitous to Asian cuisine. I think whoever designed the menu that made the dish to be this salty is egregious. We know this decision was intentional, as the staff had to warn other tables that this dish is salty. I feel like enough people had to complain about this issue for staff to become aware, and instead of listening to customer feedback, you still chose to serve bad food. I cannot in good faith recommend this restaurant to neither food lovers who are willing to pay the price for a novel culinary experience nor to those who are just looking for a decent meal at a good value, because Kiln is neither of those things.

10/10 experience. what more can you ask for; banging authentic Thai food, chat with the chefs whilst they prepare your food and casual warm settings cosy with the blaze of the fires. I mean there are highlights but all the dishes were on point. Cull Yaw cumin skewers, slow grilled chicken Soy, claypot noodles and that fiery laab stood out from my continuous visits there.

Wonderful experience at Kiln the other night. The claypot noodles and monk fish curry were delightful (as was everything else). Love the youthful vibe inside too.

No reservations taken. Food came out 'when ready', 1 hour between the first dish and the last dish coming which is absurd. The flavours were underwhelming, the glass noodles had no flavour and minimal meat. No chopsticks which was odd. Over rated eatery.

The food was so nice but a bit too spicy for us.. The beer was so good! It was pretty light so it went well with spicy foods. Claypot noodle was my favourite menu. One waitress made a mistake of serving the food that we didn’t order, and there was a miscommunication when I told her that we didn’t order that menu. She walked away when I apologised and was trying to explain the situation. I’m pretty sure she didn’t intend to do it, but wasn’t a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was really nice but the background music was a bit too loud as we sat right under the speaker. Overall, it was a nice place for dinner!

I honestly don’t understand the hype surrounding Kiln. The food was far from what I’d call authentic Thai, and nothing we tried was cooked properly. Every dish we ordered was either underwhelming or poorly executed. It felt like they were trying too hard to be “innovative” at the expense of delivering proper flavours. To make matters worse, the staff were too arrogant to address our concerns. They seemed uninterested in finding out why we were dissatisfied, which made the experience all the more frustrating. Given the reputation this place has, I expected much more. Sadly, we left feeling disappointed and like we’d wasted our time and money.

Food was extremely average, regardless of the long wait. Definitely overhyped. Noodles were very burnt at the bottom, meat fat wasn't fully rendered, and overall not worth the wait. Felt pretty unwell the next day.

We didn't have to queue, 12.30 on Sunday. We took the advice to order 8-10 dishes for our party of 4, to share. The portions were very small, barely enough for a taste of each. Even the rice portions were small. There were about 8 mussels in the mussel dish, tiny pieces of kipper in the kipper dish etc and we were left hungry. One dish was left out altogether as it was not brought to the table and it was possible to miss this as everything came out in random order making it impossible to know how to pace our eating. At £100 for 4 I was pretty disappointed and embarrassed for my guests, especially as the previous time I had visited I had enjoyed the experience.

All my high expectations of trying this place were dashed by the person taking reservations at the door. Once the queue was over (9pm), he informed us that the first available table would be after 1 hour and 45 minutes. When I pointed out that it would be 15 minutes from closing, he smiled at us with superiority. It's a shame, I hope that this negative experience of mine can be of help to others.

My favourite restaurant. Never known anywhere with a vibe like Kiln. Always 10/10. Will always try and come to this restaurant when I’m in London. Love it so much.

Ate here a few times. Best if you can get a table downstairs. Some of the curries are super spicy though so make sure you ask the waiter if your spice tolerance isn’t very high. The clay pot noodles are a must have!

Good food, grilled dishes were well executed and seasoned perfectly! Small buzzy restaurant, had to wait about 45mins on a weekday evening for a table. Ordered the grilled rump cap, grilled soy chicken and claypot noodles - all were a hit! Was a good experience watching the chefs prepare the food in that open kitchen service crew were attentive too!

Sit upstairs and watch the chefs work! Amazing kitchen. The menu changes every day. Well priced cocktails. Such creatively full of flavour and spicy food. Lovely staff go and enjoy this gem

Crazy amazing food with incredible vibes. The energy in here is next level, everyone is having a good time. You enter into a dark space, and light and warmth coming from the kitchen of coals and grills. They really KNOW spice. We were a group of 4 asians and it was spicyyyyy, BUT a good spice. FLAVOURFUL. Also the meat was cooked to perfection. A gorgeous sear yet so tender. Cocktails were quite nice but would be better if it could have a little more attention, a little more depth to better match the journey that the food can take you on. We sat at the basement which was a little quieter and easier to talk. It’s a very loud space.

Over powering flavour all the dishes we ordered.

We went on the weekday at 6pm, queued over 1.5hrs to be seated. Overall experience was not worth for queue at all, it’s not about the amounts of portions, I’ve been to Laos , Thai, Yuannan multi time and what they got inspired from are well too basic, I couldn’t feel any connections from these places at all, they are not known to use the ingredients and seasonings for the dishes , most of the food are flat tasted. We came with pretty high expectations and what we had was insanely disappointed.

The person on the door was extremely rude to us. We arrived and there was a long line at the door. It was our first time there, and so we weren’t sure id the people were waiting to get their tables or to give their names. Someone from our group went to the front to ask the person if we should wait at the back of the queue or whether we give our names and come back later. The person responded something to the effect “you are wasting my time with this question, just stand in the line”. After our meal we mentioned that we found his behaviour very odd and rude to which he responded that he doesn’t care. His name is Rob and he claims he is the manager. The food was okay, but not worth the 2 hour wait. We were rushed to leave after 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Really flavorful north Thai dishes, I recommend the clay pot noodles. The staff were lovely, in particular Miranda who gave recommendations, seated us downstairs very quickly and was super attentive to our needs! Would defiantly come again!

The food is extremely spicy, and the waiters do not warn you. restaurant atmosphere is great

Rara vez me motiva escribir reseñas, pero Kiln fue una experiencia tan pobre que merece que otros sean advertidos. En realidad teníamos una mesa reservada en lugar de haber tenido que hacer cola, así que me compadezco de los pobres que esperaron 1 - 1. 5 horas para experimentar un servicio pésimo y comida mediocre. Servicio snooty, tan oscuro que no podía leer menús ni ver comida, literalmente una luz de té iluminando la mesa. Encendió la función de antorcha en un IPhone para leer el menú solo para que el servidor lo apague para iluminar la mesa vecina. No podíamos leer el menú de otra manera. No pudimos ver la comida, estaba bien, no más. Odio ser mala con los restaurantes, pero este lugar era terrible y molesto.

Not worth the wait or the cost. Disappointed that there were no glass noodles on the menu. After waiting 30 minutes for a seat and another 40 minutes for the food, the grilled whole fish was decent, but the sautéed greens were overly salty. The seating area was extremely noisy and crowded, with people constantly standing behind me, waiting for tables and frequently bumping into my seat. This made the entire dining experience uncomfortable, and the stools added to the discomfort by straining my lower back. Service was great and friendly. Be aware that a 12% service charge and a $1 donation will be added to the bill without prior verbal notice or consent.

Buen concepto, buenos sabores. Teníamos una reserva y tomamos una mesa en el sótano Lugar muy pequeño y servicio muy lento

Bu hao chi, liáng xiǎo picking baskets, don't believe xhs.

Llevaba años queriendo probar este lugar pero cada vez que no había disponibilidad o había una cola masiva fuera: reservado con mucha antelación para entrar y después del scrum de incluso intentar entrar por la puerta principal debido a una abundancia de chanceros que no tenían una reserva bloqueando la puerta y / o tratando de empujar delante una vez que entré , finalmente nos sentamos abajo. Tengo que luchar para recordar estar tan decepcionado en un restaurante, la habitación de abajo era como un trastero convertido, sentado en bancos viejos, el menú era difícilmente legible, parecía una fotocopia de una fotocopia y la lista de reproducción de drum & bass no hizo nada en absoluto para el ambiente y para ser franco, todo generalmente parecía soso y no descriptivo, y el servicio faltaba con el personal de espera desapareciendo durante grandes tramos antes de reaparecer con la factura y decirnos que nuestro tiempo había terminado. Lo mejor que puedo decir al respecto fue que no era demasiado caro, probablemente por eso siempre hay una cola para entrar, pero eso fue un recordatorio de que la popularidad no significa calidad.

Report to eat. The portion is also very small. The price is not low either. There was none on the same day as the vermicelli pot. Don't come.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The amount of food was too small. Besides, what really stood out was the extremely poor service. The staff was rude and unhelpful, making the entire experience unpleasant. Bad Bad Bad.

I liked the place. Food was really good and ambience was cool too. Service is a mixed bag, the female waitress was amazing, the male ones didn’t care much.

Nice place. Kind of hyped but the food was good and a very nice wine bar atmosphere. Some spicy stuff was reaaally spicy, and nobody thought of warning us about that, so careful.

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!

Delicious and authentic Korean restaurant

My favourite place in London. Amazing food at reasonable prices, and always innovating to offer flavours you wouldn't find anywhere else!

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.

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.

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 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.

Kiln, you’re really killing me here😂😂😂💯💯💯There was a price of string in our food but they were nice about it at least. For a restaurant of this stature, you’d expect their food to come stringless! Haha!

An absolute gem! I’ve returned with numerous different friends for the incredible food and lovely lovely cocktails (personal fav is the tequila ginger lime). highly recommend!

Ok definitely not worth the 2 hr plus wait We were downstairs The chicken and sausage were great The not so positives The ox heart was very chewey The noodles (house special really lacked any flavour and just seemed to have soy sauce in them) The mackerel was nice but it was disappointing to see only one small side of mackerel fillet Sauce was good

Really great food, definitely got a bit of a kick to some of the dishes as you would hope and expect. Sitting at the counter is always a fun experience. Great service once you are seated. There is always a bit of a wait but you can have a drink while waiting. Good cocktails and the tamarind iced tea helps you keep your cool.

Great restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere and good to go with it.

Food was alright, there are many better Thai food restaurants in London in my opinion. Waiting time is long if you don’t have a booking and the place always looks busy surprisingly. Nice and cozy vibe

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.

Aweful waiting time outside and at the bar to be seated. Nice food, poor customer management. Letting us wait up by the bar to pay £25+ per mini plate....More options of good value for money experience around

Different, tasty, not quick as all is made on order. Well worth a visit

The food is good, but the service is terrible. One of the waitress on the downstair, she is super super rude and she forgot to order our order and I was waiting for 20mins.

Top quality ingredients, very friendly and accommodating staff!

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. I suspect legions of loyal followers with little epicure have exalted this institution.

Was really excited to come here, but the food was very lackluster and inauthentic. Felt like a poor attempt to appear to be Thai food, but just failed.

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. Overall food was worse than expected, for price as well, very disappointing

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

Super friendly, great ambience, very busy but incredibly efficient - and the food was amazing!

Nice cozy unfortunately restaurant super small downstairs a couple of tables upstairs only at the bar it’s kind of smelly and full of smoke from the kitchen The food was nice and the Chicken and soy is a must and was amazing Chicken A very ordinary restaurant that does not settle the crowds with small sessions at the bar

An absolutely amazing dining experience. We were lucky to sit at the counter overlooking the chefs weaving their magic - and that was a massive and critical part of the whole night. A number of dishes we selected were simply from watching the chefs in action. Delicious food and a fantastic selection of pairing cocktails kept the evening well fuelled. Loved it !!!!

I had a really nice meal here. They don't take reservations, so we queued before they opened on Sunday. I highly recommend it to be well prepared before you come in, you may have to queue for a while. The food is stunning and super delicious. It brings me to a street market food place in Thailand. We sit at the bar closely watching them preparing the food. Very good experience here.

Waited over an hour for our food, when asked about it the waitress was so rude

Fantastic food and cocktails. Strongly recommend the soy chicken and the laap sausage. Plan in advance as they don't take reservations and you may be left waiting for quite a long time to get a table.

The food was fine. But the time waiting for it was really long…people who ordered after me got their food ready while I was still waiting for mine.

Wow, what a restaurant. The counter-top is a great experience and the dishes were all fantastic. Only downside is the walk-in wait times. But the food served is really pretty special.

Amazing food in combination to friendly staff and great experience. It enhanced our weekend visit

WARNING!! They pay random ppl to get five star ratings on Google, so don’t fall for these ads & rating. The waiters here are racists.. lol we left even before tasting the food.

An excellent, authentic, and flavorful place with a lot of depth. I will definitely be back!

Ended up there for a late lunch. The place has a good vibe and service. Found the food to be a mix of hit and misses. Really enjoyed the glass noodles, stir fry greens, rump. The sour curry was ok and the mutton was just overwhelmingly spicy. I think the recommendation of 6 7 small plates is a little high, I would recommend 4 5.

Great experience at KILN, foods are fusion Thai style, taste is dominant. Strongly recommended to try, counter upstairs and table downstairs. Wine also good.

Very tasty food at this restaurant. Never been here before and was surprised how perfect the service and food was. I would highly recommend it to anyone who like Thai food.😋

Hectic and noisy but great food with a twist

Messaging at random and asking for fake reviews.

amazing experience! highly recommended taking your family or partner here.

Absolutely Fantastic Restaurant,Delicious Food,Outstanding Staff Services,All in All One of the Best places I've ever eaten in.I would totally recommend a visit to everyone that happens to be in the area.

perfect restaurant! highly recommend

Amazing food, staff were super friendly and helpful. 10/10 highly recommend this place!

I did give it a 5 star, indeed the lobster 🦞 was perfect

I ate here over a year ago but still think about this meal. Everything I had was incredible!! The atmosphere is also so cool, so interesting to watch the chefs cook up close.

Cozy, energetic spot with a bar overlooking the kitchen upstairs and a straightforward 4 table dining room downstairs. You’ll need a reservation. Small plates. Incredible straightforward cocktails. My favorite was a cacao-mezcal and strawberry puree cocktail. Chefs kiss ferrr sure.

This is definitely a place to drink The food is super salty and super spicy (the menu does not indicate the level of spiciness) Not suitable for people who don’t drink 😑 It doesn’t matter if the music is loud The guest at the next table was talking super loudly After drinking, my voice gets louder and louder Has the chef tried it himself? That green vegetable is super salty😅 You can’t tell whether the food is fresh or not😑

This was my fourth visit and I’ve consistently enjoy the food, flavours and the regularly changing menu. Between the two of us, we shared the aged cull yaw skewer (nice), grilled langoustines (the sauce on them was amazing), three pepper jowl and belly curry (good flavour and level of spice), lap mee grey mullet (had it with the curry which cut through the spiciness and rich ess) and the claypot noodles (so good, a must). The service was helpful and friendly.

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.

Walked in on a Tuesday and waited for 30 min to be seated. Good experience to sit by the counter and feel the warmth of all the claypots. Small portion of food, I personally found the dishes too salty but fairly, full of flavours.

Il locale è piccolissimo, stretto, con la gente stipata di fronte al bancone e una minuscola cantina adibita a ristorantino con pochi tavoli attaccati gli uni agli altri. L'arredamento non ha nulla di orientale: stile pub inglese i cui proprietari volevano spendere pochissimo. Rumore indescrivibile: voci e musica al massimo. Impossibile godersi la cena. ORA I PRO: piatti buoni e gustosi, prezzi giusti.

Food was nice but very long waits between dishes, all side dishes also came last? The waiter asked twice if we’d like to add any more dishes because our meal was over, but we were still waiting on multiple of the initial dishes to come. We also Waited at least half an hour on our first round of drinks. Nice restaurant, food was nice but poor service and poor experience as it meant we ate things very separately

Very good service and excellent quality of food

I recently dined at Kiln and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with beautiful decor and a cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every detail was perfect throughout the meal. The food was simply exquisite! Every dish was bursting with flavor, made from fresh, high-quality ingredients, and presented beautifully. I particularly enjoyed the [specific dish], which was an absolute delight. The menu offers a great variety of options, catering to all tastes. Kiln exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a gem of a place that I will definitely be visiting again soon. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in London.

Yum! Delicious! I was a bit warm sitting at the bar in front of the open kitchen and their open grills but I saw first hand the wonderful symphony of ingredients used and the easy choreography of the chefs within a tight space. I am so glad I had the chance to experience this food. The overall combination of flavors were tasty and not overly sweet (thank goodness!). This is definitely a return visit restaurant.

Incredible food fantastic service and atmosphere - will definitely be back! Baby langoustines were unreal

Was contacting on telegram by anonymous user to give 5 star rating and to het paid doing it

I went to kiln london absolutely outstanding food nice sized portion staff very polite and very helpful customer service is amazing

Beautiful food Brilliant service.

incredible service + incredible atmosphere + delectable food (guilty of scraping the bottom of every pot except the sour curry which sadly, a bit too sour) + bonus points over the 5 stars for accepting walk in's and presumably letting go off the whole reservation system. truly the best place for real food aficionados!

Kiln is a fantastic Thai restaurant that offers a delicious and authentic dining experience. The menu features a variety of traditional dishes, from fragrant curries to flavorful stir-fries, all prepared with fresh ingredients and bold spices. The Pad Thai and Green Curry are standout dishes, perfectly balanced in flavor and spice. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with attentive service that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're a fan of Thai cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

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.

My first visit here, and it was great I will definitely be going back

Its was awesome 😎💯 highly recommend

Delicious Thai fusion food. I loved the place, the format and the food. They serve without reservation, waiting a little. Apart from the bar upstairs, there are also a few tables downstairs. On the bar you can hang your things on a hook below. Wines and natural cocktails. Paint! One of my favorite places in London right now. It's not very expensive for London.
