Lux Thai in Southwark

Over priced, Small portions, containers half full, Missing ingredients, minuscule amount of duck in the bean sprout spring roll, poor quality meat, dry shavings of chicken(?), over cooked veg. 3 dishes between two £28 (£33 after service and delivery charge) delivered promptly and the Uber driver was great so was happy to tip him. Contained MSG. FSA food hygiene rating of 3/5. Safe to say wouldn’t recommend and definitely won’t be returning!

Así que hemos estado viniendo aquí durante años comiendo la comida tailandesa que es tan auténtica y el personal es tan encantador. Pero ahora tienen una sección separada que sirve batidos, jugos, waffles de burbujas y crepes, y helado con opciones veganas también. . . . Literalmente, todos en nuestra familia se fueron felices: probamos los jugos, batidos, crepes y waffles (y ahora no podemos movernos) Lugar perfecto para nuestra familia: tuvimos una excelente comida y pudimos tomar un postre que les encantó a los niños. La buena comida me hace feliz jajaja

¿La mejor comida tailandesa que he comido 10/10? El arroz de coco estaba delicioso. La carne de res panang y massuman carne era excelente. El personal era muy amable. Ambiente familiar. Se lo recomendaría a todo el mundo.

Muy sabrosa auténtica comida tailandesa. Por lo general, quita algo pero llevé un poco de familia al restaurante y todos disfrutaron mucho la comida. Los alrededores del restaurante son básicos, pero la comida lo compensa.

Tenía una comida encantadora aquí con mi hija recientemente. Todo estaba muy bien preparado, bien presentado ya un precio razonable. El personal era amable también.

Food here is exceptional but sadly the tired decor and lack of atmosphere puts me off going here regularly. I tend to use it for takeaway (collection only).

We came to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. It was fairly busy but not completely full. My first impression was this is more like a ‘down market’ café that a ‘good Thai restaurant. The staff were dressed in quite scruffy clothes and the seats and tables were as you would find in a café, not in a decent restaurant. When we were seated, it took about ten minutes for the menu to arrive. It took about 20 mins for the food to arrive. The quantity of food was small and it was almost certainly pre cooked. This restaurant seems to do a lot of ‘take away meals’ and as a result, there seemed to be an exceptional number of scooter riders parking outside the restaurant and helmeted and black motor cycle suited, entering the restaurant to collect their food. This was not a nice aspect of dining here. With 2 beers, this 2 course meals cost £ 55.00 I think that it is a high price for such poor quality food. We will not return.

Ate with an old friend and enjoyed the food. Quality was good and the atmosphere was nice. Service was good and the prices more reasonable than on previous visits. The restaurant looks cleaner with fresher decor than remembered too.

Food was ok. Service was ok. Nothing worth writing home about. The place was just a bit unexciting. The worst thing was a baby crying and screaming every few minutes. This baby did not belong to a customer. It was one of the workers or owners. Annoying with no regard for the customer

I visited Lux Thai for dinner with a friend on a Friday night and we were surprised to see that only one other table was occupied. I can only assume that any other customers gave up waiting to be served and left. It took around 30 minutes for our order to be taken. We each ordered a main dish and two side dishes to share. A few minutes later the waitress returned to ask if a 20 minute wait was acceptable for my friend's fish, which was fine. Around 20 minutes later, my main course arrived, together with the two side dishes, but there was no sign of the fish. After waiting about five minutes, with no sign of a waitress, I started on my food, which was going cold by this time, and my friend started on her share of the side dishes. The fish dish finally arrived over ten minutes after the rest of the food had been served, which left my friend with the options of either eating her fish with the now cold side dishes or on its own. The fact that she then had to wait five minutes before the waitress appeared again to ask for a knife only added to the irritation. I had a Panang curry, which was OK, but contained very little chicken. The house special rice was OK, and the noodles were quite nice. My friend said her fish was nice, but nothing special. We then sat waiting for the table to be cleared. And sat for a while longer. And then for longer still. The table was finally cleared away well over half an hour after we had finished eating. We waited to be offered the pudding menu or coffee, but gave up when the waitress disappeared once again. If the restaurant had been busy, then the vey slow service would have been more understandable, but with only two tables occupied, there was no excuse for the long wait. We won't be returning.

Unfortunately we left after the starters. Some of the dishes didn't taste fresh, so we didn't want to risk the mains.

This food is fully peng u know. The noodles and that would get a solid 4/5 and the arrangement of vegetables spices was a madness

Always have an enjoyable time out. Food is excellent. Kids love it and they are fussy. Great service

Had a lovely meal ... tempura was delicious and stir fry king prawn dish very nice. Service was good. The decor however was chipped and grubby... which was a bit off putting.... the price was expensive too so they could do with an update or revamp!! Still well worth a visit for the food.

Este es un restaurante tailandés muy bueno para llevar a tu pareja, amigos y familia.

El interior era un poco sombrío, con un tanque de pescado. rancio Tuvimos una gran variedad de entrantes que no eran nada especial. El plato principal (carne) que tenía el curry era decente.

Been coming here for quite some time and no mater how many times I eat here, I never get bored of the menu. I've eaten at many other Thai restaurants in south east London and none have compared, food wise, as good as this place. It's quite disguising as its doesn't look like the most wowing or busiest from the outside BUT don't be mislead. There's a nice local relaxing atmosphere and the food appears very fresh! every time I've sat in there the Deliveroo cyclers are flowing in and out. Price maybe slightly above average and starters could be a bit better value for money but for authenticity and quality after my trips to Thailand, this place is the one! Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Pad Kee Mao was absolutely delicious! (As was everything else we ordered). Will definitely be ordering takeaway from here again!

We went as a group of 8 to celebrate a birthday. The staff are friendly enough. The food is generally delicious. The only issue I have had here, is sometimes the service can take quite a long time! Now that they are on deliveroo, the door opens every few minutes for a driver to walk through and their orders seemed to come before those in the restaurant. However, as it was a celebration, we had lots of chatting to do, so it wasnt so bad. Definitely authentic tasting Thai food at a slightly higher than average price, but always fresh and tasty!

The joys of Deliveroo have brought Lux Thai our way several times now and I must say it's really rather good.Food arrives hot and fresh and the dishes are varied and fresh.The Thai Green Curry rocks. Phad Thai is great. We've yet to have anything other than good stuff from this reliable little eatery.

The restaurant is quite unassuming from the outside and we were a bit reluctant to go in due to the low number of people in there. However after reading positive reviews on TripAdvisor we decided to give it a go. Overall the food was very tasty. Though the starters were nice, they were very expensive for what they were (e.g. 4 small dumplings for £6.50ish). The main meals offered much better value for money (my Penang curry with rice was around £12). Overall I'd recommend if you're in Dulwich and looking for a decent value Thai.

Really great food and service. Soup starters with depth of flavour. Squid tempura not at all chewy. Pad Thai main very good. Also lamb curry very nice. Not cheap, but good service

The second time we visited, this time a group of ten people.Service is OK but not great.The menu is extensive and caters for all tastes.Portions are not generous but mains are sufficient. Starters are very small.The restaurant itself is nice enough to fake friends to and makes for a relaxed local that you might go to once a month.Prices are not cheap but offer reasonable value for money.The food quality is good but not special.

We go to the Lux a Thai frequently and always find the food and service to be excellent. We visited recently and had prawns in pastry and chicken satay starters which were delicious. We also had the seafood Tom yum soup which we shared, it is really filling and tasty and is almost a meal in itself. Also really nice red and green curry, stir fried beef land stir fried chicken and nice pad Thai. My top tips are to go early to secure a nice spot near the fish tank and also the wine can be expensive and can increase the bill considerably. We have never had a bad meal in there and sometimes we order a takeaway to collect - not quite as good as eating in but the option is still there. I would highly recommend this restauraunt.

Four of us visited here last night. We all had starters and mains accompanied with Thai beer and wine. The food was delicious and well sized and nicely presented. Service was good too so we felt this place deserves a high recommendation!

We really fancied a Thai meal and so headed out to Lux on Lordship lane. This little unassuming restaurant surprised us - the fish cakes, satay and tempura starters were delicious and a good size, and then the green Thai curry was also good.

Have been going here for a few months. Went this evening and the food was great - I have never eaten prawns that were so good - very fresh and cooked to absolute perfection. It is rare to find a restaurant that maintains consistency, but Lux Thai has been consistently excellent. Great Thai food

I used this place twice for lunch and every time the food was very good. Both times I ordered fish which was delicious, spicy, flavoursome and fresh. I was impressed with the service as well. It's worth giving it a try especially because it has a great location on the busy Lordship Lane in East Dulwich.

I was feeling peckish at 6pm on a Tuesday evening and fancied Thai but where to go? Some local Thai food takeaway can be greasy and dull. My 21 year old son, Alex , looked at the internet and suggested Lux Thai to me, so with no expectations I ordered. There is no delivery so I had to collect and to be honest I was not expecting very much. But huzzah! The Thai fish cakes were delicious and the Pad Thai memorable. My 83 year old father who professes to hate any food that is not meat ( very well done) and two veg ( ditto very well boiled) was tempted by the aroma and on wolfing down a large portion of my meal ( I am happy to share......grrrr) said...' Mmm I think I like Thai food.' Obviously, Lordship Lane, London SE22 is not a destination place but come on locals come and try good, delicious food at reasonable prices. You will not be disappointed.

Some of the best Thai food I have ever had, really fresh and delicious. A menu large enough to have choice, but not large enough to get confused and a decent drinks menu too. Really helpful and friendly staff despite the large numbers of people.

Had a business lunch here - the Chicken Satay starter was very well done, tasty peanut sauce, and the Panang prawn curry main course just perfect - moderately hot 'n spicy but with great flavour, and a good-size portion (some Thai restaurants serve such tiny portions!)Had a glass of wine with the meal, though the beer looked good too. Service was friendly and attentive, recommended.
