Oaka at the Mansion House in Lambeth

Absolutely delicious Thai food, with a great selection. Really friendly staff and lovely all round vibe. We went on a Sunday night and stayed for the pub quiz, which was one of the most fun pub quizzes I've ever been too. Would definitely go again!

The Oakley looks to be a regular neighborhood pub, so we were surprised to find a menu of Asian cuisine. We decided to give it a go nonetheless, and were pleasantly surprised! Quick and efficient service, nice prices and very good food! We enjoyed our visit so much that we came back twice more during our vacation!

Such gorgeous food… we keep coming back for more. Authentic delicious Thai food in a pleasant setting. Personal highlights are the curries and pad Thai which is absolutely delicious. The only downside is that the food isn’t cheap.

Wow, absolutely loving the new look. The new decor outside is amazing. A lot better colour scheme than the old Green colour. I got a shock when I saw it. It compelled me to go in for a drink. The inside has been done as well. A great new refreshing look. I asked a local who did ot and they told me it wasc a bloke named Gerry. I don't know Gerry but he needs a pat on the back for doing such a great job. Well done. I will definitely be back again x

We were pleasantly surprised to walk into a pub on our first night in London and find high quality Thai food on the menu! Gyoza was the best I’ve ever had…Tom Kha was warm and tasty. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would be a regular customer.

Went there yesterday for lunch with 3 friends as we were at the Oval for the cricket and this place is located not too far away. We had a few beers and some food from the lunch menu which was great value at £13.95 for 2 courses. I had the Tom Yam rice which was very tasty. We all enjoyed our food and the service was also very good.

First of all I loved this place, local with great food and an appealing happy hour with a choice of cocktails! Loved it, the service and the food. New management decided to change the menu on a Friday night when I visited with friends and I recommended this place! Was gutted when we realised the whole menu was being edited that night and also a new till system which was way too much pressure on the staff on a busy Friday night! There was no heads up about new management or change of menu on booking and new manager wasn’t very helpful to us at all. The whole evening was a bit of a mess. However due to the staff still trying their best I have returned since then, with a smaller group this time, the cocktails we loved have all been taken off of the menu as well as the much loved potato wedges starter which were a fav for so many of us regulars! I have booked again for an event however have now been told there is NO happy hour which was one of the BIGGEST appeals of the place! More food and more drinks it went hand in hand… I uNader stand there is new management but we stayed longer and ate/drank more due to happy hour it was so gutting to see it’s been scrapped! I really hope this is reconsidered and also that new management realise that these things were the appeal of the place! The staff that have been there long term were always lovely so I hope they stay x

Great food, great beer, great price. Really friendly and accommodating staff. A good find and well worth a visit. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful place, unexpected find and the Thai food is delicious as is the beer. Really accommodating, even for doggies :) would highly recommend, clean friendly excellent service and atmosphere and right near Kennington Tube station. Thanks for having us x

Had lunch here on a sat afternoon with friends before heading to our event. Cannot fault the restaurant, it was all so lovely. The setting is nice, opposite a little church, the ambience of the restaurant is great for a relaxing chat with friends, the food and service were perfect. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again

Excellent food, reasonable prices, good service. A lot of neighborhood folks visiting this place. We will come back for sure!

Called in this evening for a few beers before trip home after a short break to London as we have done for the last few years. Almost knocked over by the front of the house asking if we wanted a table for two. In previous visits we find our own table, go to the bar and order beer as you do when you go into a pub. Lads that used to be behind the bar top men, by the way. Told front of house just here for a drink, no problem, he says. Notice no pump clips on any handpump. Ah, we have beer (keg) but all ales have run out. Really, thank you and good evening, we won't be back.

We're big fans of hoppy Oakham ales so this venue is a must visit when in the area, especially at Happy Hour before 7 p.m.. Big bonus is the Thai restaurant it combines with. Great food (but noodles slightly overdone) especially the delicious aubergine/basil/yellow bean side dish. Kennington underground just across the street on Northern Line, 2 stops to Waterloo. Perfect (for us).

There seemed to be a problem with our reservation which I had confirmed by message,when asked, the day before. I was asked twice the name of my reservation during our meal. The starter was as described and was very tasty. The main meals however were extremely disappointing and were probably the worst Thai we have eaten. I ordered the stir fried chicken and cashew nuts and it actually arrived as deep fried battered chicken which really upset my stomach. My husband ordered the crispy beef which was described as medium. It actually arrived as just extremely spicy beef and was not crispy and was far hotter than described. It was described as 2 on the heat scale but we had to drink loads of water as it was soo spicy and hot. Really disappointed as neither of us got what we had ordered and would not recommend.

Just spent a very enjoyable meal at Oaka at the Mansion House. Food was yummy, service excellent . We have just started to get out and about again after lockdown. So pleased one of our first choices was our favourite Oaka restaurant. Will be visiting again very soon.

There are many Thai restaurants in London, some good, some not so good, some downright awful. This latest experience falls between the last two. I don't mind if Oaka is not as well-oiled as they were prior to the pandemic, that is understandable. I was a regular for many years and sometimes things don't go so smoothly. But on my recent visit, I felt gouged, like a naive tourist in a hotspot of dodgy hawkers. Prices are significantly increased while the food standards have dropped below acceptable and portion sizes are noticeably squeezed. Frozen packed 'Wing-Yip' styled gyozas drenched in their own sadness were abysmal at £5.80. A near £14 (yes that much) green prawn curry served in a ramekin sized bowl was also insulting; I asked the waiter to take it back. The Pad Gra Prow was the saving grace but again, felt like I was being enrolled in the Keto diet for kids it was so small, and at over £10, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth (like the gyozas)! The embarrassed waitress was kind if not a little out of her depth but must have passed on my grievances to the incongruous manager. He wanted to help, well, sort of. It was embarrassing being asked how much a discount I would like, during my meal, and seeing I never asked for one it was embarrassing to be put on the spot like that, in front of my guest. I was not angling at a discount and surely this should be your time to shine and reassure the guest, not involve me into some type of haggling like I am at a bazaar. It's better to recognise the issue(s) at hand and correct them with a bit of initiative. Suffice to say, I paid the bill in full (less the curry I sent back). I would have appreciated the service charge being removed but it wasn't so I just paid the full bill amount and left. Guys, there is a lot of competition out there. I am sympathetic to all restaurants going through such an awful time, but sometimes places like yours need to be called out. I fail to see any savings passed on to the customer considering you only pay 5% VAT compared to 19% previously on food, plus the furlough support - I think you spent all money you could have invested in food, drink and better management training on a new, albeit very plastic-y (fake flowers hanging everywhere) refurbishment. Gonna have to give you a miss from now on - what a great shame.

The 12.5% service charge is legally optional in the UK. This is why none of the restaurants trading via the food delivery outlets (Just Eat, Deliveroo etc) charge it (no way to remove it, not to mention it’s a bit of a cheek when you...

Lovely little place for for a drink - staff very welcoming & friendly..Covid secure - Clean facilities. Can’t wait to try the food next time we visit as smelt amazing. Would recommend ***

The food is really bland and does not resemble Thai food at all. Most disappointing Thai food I have eaten anywhere as far as I recall.

My girlfriend and circle of friends visit here regularly. The quality of the Oakham ales is second to none and the staff very friendly. The beer goes really well with their Thai food menu. An absolute must!

A lot of places were shut as it was the day before Christmas Eve so we thought we’d try this place out and we were very pleasantly surprised!! Food was great! Would recommend veggie starter platter and black pepper prawns. Also customer service was very...

Lovely place for a catch up with friends. King prawn pad Thai is to die for - chilli on the side to make it as spicy as you like. Best prawn crackers I’ve ever had 🙌

Betjening her er fantastisk og det thailandske køkken kan klart anbefales. Autentisk god mad til fornuftige priser 😊

Thai food is delicious in this place. One of the best chicken pad Thais I've ever had. And if you come there Monday-Thursday you can get a starter and a main for just a tenner!

I went along to this restaurant because it was very close to The White Bear Pub Theatre and I was seeing a play then going out with friends afterwards for some food. I'd heard the food was good but it was amazing!! We had a...

Professional staff, been there on a Tuesday night and they were having a special menu, 2 course for £10 which we found excellent value for money. Large selections of drinks including some well know ales from Oakham Ales Brewery. Will definitely come back.

You wouldn’t necessarily think a real ale pub and an Asian-fusion restaurant in one spot worked, but it does. Great food, staff are awesome and the atmosphere is great. Highly, highly recommend.

Friendly staff , good selection of drinks , from 3 until 7 o’clock they are doing two cocktails for £10 which I found excellent especially because they are doing my favourite cocktail Long Island .

Most disgusting take away I have ever had and I have lived in London for 40 years. Appalling food. Couldn't even give it to my dogs. What a waste of money.

We ordered a green curry, pad thai and spring rolls from deliveroo and would not order from this restaurant again. The pad thai had barely any sauce on it and was extremely bland, the spring rolls were £6 for 4 tiny spring rolls that were...

Order take away from here food duck tasted stale was burnt Chicken satay also tasted stale. Not sure how the could sell food like that. Dont think it's acceptable

Me encantó este lugar. Una gran selección de cervezas que incluyen cervezas, una buena selección de vinos blancos para combinar con la comida picante y la excelente comida tailandesa. Pub espacioso, limpio y ordenado.

Excelente local para provar um pad thai ou Singapore noodles. As gyozas vegetarianas e rolinhos primavera também são excelentes! O tamanho das porções é bastante adequado (serve uma pessoa) e o preço é justo para a qualidade do que foi servido. Nos pratos hot/picantes, a pimenta vem à parte. Recomendado para amantes da culinária tailandesa e para quem não conhece muito e quer se arriscar.

Apareció con un par de compañeros después de un día en el cricket.

Surprisingly good Thai food in a modern pub setting, with some unusual and very tasty dishes available. We’ve been three times but probably won’t be going back as it’s let by small portions for the price, and slow service.

Música horrible y desagradable y servicio apresurado eran un mal comienzo. El pollo con nueces de anacardo en que comimos estaba empapada azúcar y sal y dejamos un sabor desagradable. El pollo estaba en pasta que era innecesario. El pato crujiente con panqueques y que los otros dos estaba bien.

Nice food and not badly priced, food isn't going to set the world alight but not a bad midweek option, especially if you want to go for the beer.

We chanced upon this place a few weeks ago when we visited the bar which was relaxed and not too busy, saw the menu while we were there and went back to try it yesterday, very glad we did.

Estuvimos encantados de ver que a pesar de que no había ido a la Mansión por más de un año, sigue siendo un excelente lugar para beber cervezas de ockham - y comer - panAsian.

Not far from the City and Guilds College where we were visiting and opposite the old parish church. We were quickly seated in the comfortable surroundings with a few minutes to go for the lunchtime deal and our choices were delivered promptly. The restaurant has a wide of ales on offer. They supply a great version of 'chips' in good portions and the salad was fresh. My Thai burger was good meat but may be an acquired taste. We were unfortunate to be close to a customer with very strong opinions and stronger colourful language however that could happen anywhere. The prices were good and the sliding doors would make this a great summer time place to relax with friends.

Really lovely place. Nice bar area, good choice of beers and food always very good. Staff lovely too. Sometimes the long queue of online delivery bikers can get in the way but overall nice place.

Went here (again) last night for a friends birthday; 15 of us in all. Service was great all food coming on time, the food was authentic. The reason I love this place is because they have Som Tum - green papaya salad with dried shrimp and peanuts.

Very impressed with the service and quality of food...just simply loved it!!Highly recommend to anyone that loves Pan Asian Cuisine and great selection of beers..and beside that the staff is top notch #friendly #knowledgable #proffesional #genuine #wellcoming. Had a tasty lunch and dinner and definitely will come back to have a drink with friends.So overall JUST LOVE IT!!!

Found this Asian bar restaurant near Kennington Tube. Very handy stop before heading into the West End for a show. £10 2course deal available on Tuesdays only. Tasty selection and just the right amount. House wine was a bit expensive at £7.30 for a large glass, but very nice

Realmente disfrutamos de una comida familiar en el restaurante, que está situado dentro de un pub (Ale House).

Paramos para almuerzo en un pub con un amigo como trabajo cerca y el menú parecía bueno. Mala idea.

Un gran lugar para relajarse por la noche, para conocer amigos y quizás tomar un bocado para comer, también. El servicio y el ambiente son geniales; que no probamos la comida, ya que sólo vienen para bebidas, pero olía y tenía buena pinta! Otra ventaja es que está cerca de la estación de metro (Kennington) y es fácil de encontrar.

Very very nice place serving asian dishes. It's almost like a pub with asian food. Sitting inside or outside in an off beat London quarter. Highly recomended!

The Mansion House used to be a dive. It is a five minute walk from Kennington tube. It is nice to see it has been rejuvenated and, on a Saturday night, it was buzzing with a very mixed crowd. There is still a pub on one side of the entrance, but half the space is taken up by Oaka, an Asian fusion restaurant.The décor is smart but not stuffy. I was told that the staff were all Romanian but at least one waitress seemed Asian to me. They were were friendly and efficient. I was also told that all the cooks, again save for one, are Asian.The fairly long menu is a sort of "greatest hits" of Asian dishes although I was disappointed there was only one Vietnamese entry - orange chicken which I have never had or seen once on a menu in VIetnam (and I have travelled the country on five occasions).We shared the Gap Giam Platter (£12.90) to begin. It included two very tender ribs, where the meat fell off the bone, some shredded "heavenly" beef, two breaded prawns with Thai chili sauce, and two chicken sate with peanut sauce. Everything tasted delicious and whetted my appetite, although the portions seemed a wee bit on the small side.We also shared two main courses, some greens and two portions of rice. The sambal port belly (£8.90) was very good, tender, in a mildly spicy sauce and served with beans (we had been told that none of the dishes came with greens, so were surprised to see them). The portion was also a good size. The sesame fried chicken was less yummy. In fact, it was dry and at £9.80 for the portion seemed over-priced especially as it only came with the leaf of ice-berg lettuce on which it was served and a small bowl of chili dipping sauce. As alluded, we also ordered a side of morning glory. It was deliciously garlicky but, at £6.90, also seemed expensive.To drink, we had a bottle of Riesling (£22.80) which was served at the perfect temperature and complemented the meal well.A suggested service charge of 12.5% was added to the bill, bringing the total to £77.28. I could not help feeling it would have been cheaper down the local Chinese, although we would not then have had the delights of sitting in a gentrified Kennington pub!

We came in rather "on spec"', although friends had recommended we try it. We were not disappointed. Overall, the food was good. Service was excellent. The place was bustling and lively. I think the menu is too long - over ambitious. Perhaps focus on fewer dishes and bring them up to top quality? Very well priced and good sized portions.

Essentially a smartish pub that serves Asian food, had the honeyed duck (which is essentially duck pancakes) and the chicken soup to start, we then had the pork noodles which was very tasty along with a beef stir fry which was a little bland. The 2 puddings on the menu were a cheesecake with pomegranate and mango but it was clearly out the freezer as wasn't fully defrosted and a sticky toffee pudding which again was obviously shop bought but at £15 for 3 courses was still good value

Had a fantastic lunch we ordered various items chicken satay honey ribs pad Thai noodles sticking rice morning glory and the best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had would highly recommend . The only downside I would say is that they do a loyalty card and again was declined saying there was no manager about and it's very hard to get . I explained it was my second visit and love the food and intend to be a regular and have spent £200 in two visits but disappointed about that but apart from that cannot complain about the food at all excellent just thought the waiter could have been a bit more helpful about the loyalty card especially as there was somebody I've the other side of the restaurant drinking a pint and shouting over to us stick your bill on my loyalty card I wonder what you have to do to get one .

We were going for Lunch to the Old Red Lion next door (March 20, 2017) but it was closed for what appears to be renovations. Since we were there we tried Oaka. The service was friendly, the beer was local and OK and the food was very good and modestly priced. The restaurant was very clean, but had little ambience or atmosphere.

Really nice pub with an Asian restaurant in it, good food, lots of flavour, will definitely be going back

WoW. I don't often RAVE about a pub with food but this place is great. They serve Oakham real ale and the JHB was great. They also serve Thai food. The best Thai food I have ever had including in Thailand. Superb place. Will visit again.

Had a fantastic meal with my family two of us had set menu and the other two ordered lots of side dishes . Food was fresh and fragrant and very authentic . Best I have had in a long time . Soft lighting plush surroundings and friendly staff . Would visit again soon . My nephew ate two deserts couldn't believe he wanted a third but they were delicious especially the sticky toffee pudding .

We went on Saturday night with friend at Oaka, and as usual, everything was nice. Christian did a great job with us, thank you for his professionalism and smile. Food was nice and our advise to enjoy a cheap dinner, take a veggie platter which is massive and tasty. The choice of beer is original. You need to try this place.

Decided to stop here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon having been impressed by the Oakham Ales Tap in Peterborough.The venue was rather quiet but we had arrived at an odd time (3pm). Ordered a pint of ale to start with, really good condition which is always a nice surprise in this part of London. We ordered three dishes, two of which were very good, in fact the duck in Tarmarind was superb. The third was a honey chicken dish which was extremely dry, in fact so dry my partner was unable to eat more than one piece. I would have scored this higher, but for the chicken dish and the atmosphere (we were the only ones in by the end).I would say that it's worthy of a second visit, perhaps at a time closer to the lunch or dinner slot.

Just had the most amazing meal here, really was delicious, you could tell it was freshly cooked, just lovely.So why the one star ??The most horrible, rude and unfriendly waitress.Didn't smile once, gave a look of disgust when taking the order, then when ultimately paying she said "There's your bill". Having paid it goes without saying there was no thank you from her in anyway shape or form.Sadly it wasn't just myself of this opinion, it was the topic of conversation on the next table.I don't think a career in customer service is the best for her.Such a shame as the food really is amazing, but the 'service' given by her was enough to put me off going again.

A great find, near Kennington tube station, an excellent range of Oakham ales in good condition and delicious Thai food with good service. Would have given it 5 stars if it didn't have the music at a ridiculously high volume.

As I have only enjoyed this restaurant in a delivery capacity, I must stress how much that adds to their high rating.Generally, when ordering from a restaurant take away, there is some element of "not as good as the real thing" disappointment upon arrival, like food not piping hot, etc. But every single time that we have ordered from this restaurant it has been exceptional. And I mean exceedingly good. The food is hot, fresh, and tastes like it was actually cooked with health in mind. No greasy, ugh-I-shouldn't-have-eaten-that feeling which for me is everything (I don't eat out much because of that very reason). The king prawn anything is amazing. The coconut rice is beautiful and my friends raved about the vegetarian stir fry. Just to name a few magical favorites. Happiness abounds. Even though I haven't had the pleasure of walking into the actual restaurant (I wouldn't do that to the staff by bringing my crazy kids in there), they are certainly right up at the top for whenever we manage a date night. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food, terrific people. We found this restaurant on our second day of a nine day stay in the area. We have enjoyed the food and the people ever since. On our second visit, the waiter greeted us like we were old customers. We particularly enjoyed the vegetables in tempura batter with soy and wasabi. Everything we had was good.

Very-very tasty foods from OAKA, the crews are marvelous, friendly, and unbelievable, the decor cool and good. The best foods there for me: Singapore noodles, Aromatic tamarind duck Thailand, Pad cha seafoodMy most favourite course is the Morning glory (have to try)

I stumbled upon this place when staying nearby on a work trip to London and was pleasantly surprised to find great Indo-Thai food in a relaxed comfortable pub.Despite being a bit suspicious of the large menu choice (which normally means serving lots of mediocre dishes served quickly and badly) the two things I ordered (veg gyoza followed by chicken panang curry) were excellent.And despite dining alone I didn't feel out of place or uncomfortable at all. I'd go back there in a heartbeat.

Cool decor, nice vibe, the restaurant opens on to the street and it's really nice done out. Good Thai food although not outstandingly good so average might be a bit harsh. I so wish Trip Advisor would introduce a good rating as average sometimes sounds harsh.Not the best Thai ever and the service was a bit slow and we were in a rush. I would go again if I was in the area.

I live nearby and have been going to Oaka since it opened. It was changed hands a couole of years ago and the food chabged too. Their green curry is good.Their calamari is 90% batter with the smallest bits of calamari. They were tiny bits and now larger but sliced to be paper thin. Today we decided to try other menu parts. Chicken in lettuce leaves, singapore noodles, gyoza, veg tempura. All seved between cold and luke-warm. Singapore rice (1 chili heat marked in menu) - had no taste. Both mains sent back. Chicken in leaves was pretty tasteless and the leaves provided were too small to create wraps. Chicken and king prawn Singapore rice - didnt taste or appear fresh though i enjoyed the 2 prawns. For dessert we ordered sticky toffee pudding. 3 mins later a treacle sponge was presented. We ate it and it was fine for a premade treacle sponge. When paying we advised tgat it wasnt sticky toffee pudding and the staff argued and offered to show us the box. 40+ years in the UK and i know the difference. Meal with 2 soft drinks, a G and T and half a lager was £49. They tried to add 12.5% service to bill but it was all disappointing and after argument about dessert I paid but with 0 tip. The food is not nice enough to warrant a £50 cost for a meal for 2. Oh - i didnt mention the argument about the Singapore noodles - waiter "they're not meant to be spicy....the menu is wrong". No. Menu is right - you provide whats on the menu. Oh an the 2 female waitresses were unfriendly unsmiling and uninterested even before we had issues with the mea.I'll stop there.Very very disappointing.4 stars for great location, outside tables, and drinks. Dragged down by the kitchen and some waiting service staff.Bar service always fine. And i still like tge Green Curry.

Came in late and found this place by accident. Nice food (I had green curry), reasonable price. Reccomended!

Always have good food here, very fresh and a great choice on the menu of Chinese/Thair fusion. The service is very good and the atmosphere calm with good music and a modern decor. We had a daughter Christened in a nearby church and chose Oaka for the party, where we pre-ordered food for 40 guests. The restaurant provided a buffet and we had half of the restaurant, which was excellent. The staff and service couldn't have been better. We often go for the lunchtime special, which is terrific value for money, or we get a few plates to share. The tempura king prawns are a must-try, as are the deep fried aubergines. If you like real ale, this place also supplies a selection. Would thoroughly recommened.

I visited Oaka last night with two friends, we fancied a bite to eat and a few beers. Plenty of beers on draft, we ordered some starters to share. There appeared to be a bit of confusion, as some of the food served was not what we ordered. The waiter immediately offered to rectify the situation, and left the two extra dishes at no cost. In total we had the mixed starter for two, Chicken Satay, Tempura Prawns, Gyozas, and the Chicken Lettuce Wraps - All the food was super fresh, perfectly spiced, and super tasty. Staff were great, and overall the bar has a nice ambience. Very impressed with the standard of the food and the flavours, I love pan-asian food, and Oaca delivered. Well worth a visit, and the food arrived quite quickly. Give it a try, I do not think you will be disappointed!!

The food was excellent and the portions generous. Prices were good. Excellent beer selection. The atmosphere was lovely. Service was a bit slow.

We had some really tasty food from here via Deliveroo, Thai Fries were nice, Curry Puffs were delicious! Tom Yum with Vegetables and the Red Curry with King Prawns also very nice. The food arrived very quickly. This restaurant is close by, so will definitely pop by and try the restaurant itself.

Sono stato in questo posto con una mia amica. Devo dire che il servizio è il cibo sono stati molto buoni e abbondanti. Consiglierei questo posto sia per prendere una birra all'aperto, nel caso faccia bel tempo, oppure a bere o mangiare dentro in un ambiente easygoing.

Food was great, unfortunately the service let them down. We had to chase everything and a meal that should have taken probably 1hr 30 mins took 3 hours

I think this is the closest you can get to real authentic tasting asian food around here. Usually when we go abroad the asian food just tastes too floury or over sweet or too salty. We couldn't tell this one from asian restaurants back home. Thumbs up for food!Food service was slow though. Waited about 40mins for our food, we noticed the deliveroo guys come in and out I think the kitchen could be slowed down with those orders.

We have been here before and we enjoyed the food, service, atmosphere and cleanliness.Arrived last Saturday for my wife's birthday dinner and party. The team had arranged for our table already and when we told them we were expecting a couple more friends, they flipped everything on its head and managed to accommodate for all of us without fuss at another table.Food was super, great flavours and everyone complemented to it, even the difficult ones. Once we were done with dinner they moved us to our drinks area.All this on a busy Saturday, again no fuss and with table service.Drinks were flowing and music pumping.We had an awesome evening, till very late and best thing all our friends still talk about it.Many thanks to everyone at OAKA for an amazing night.

My mum went to Oaka recently with her neighbour and loved it so I took her as a midweek treat with my husband and son last week. Absolutely loved it. The menu is great - our son, aged 9, is still a little wary of spicy food but he loved it too. The variety on the menu is great - plenty of starters, mains, sides and desserts, but there is also an excellent value lunch special menu. We went a la carte and it was excellent value. Staff were extremely polite and interactive/helpful. The quality of the food was very, very good and the portion sizes were perfect. Can't say anything negative about this restaurant. Can't wait to go back and it was so nice to see the place relatively full at 2pm mid week. This place is a gem in an area with not many restaurants. If you like thai/pan Asian cuisine you must visit Oaka. Top marks.

The Oaka has an excellent range of well kept Oakham real beers (with others in keg), plus an imaginative choice of Malaysian style food at reasonable prices. Waiting and bar staff are charming and helpful. Great place for a pleasant and reasonably priced night out

The chef in this place has really good attention to details. The food is very tasty! This is our third time and it has never disappointed us. A hidden gem. They should promote the restaurant more than the bar!

The Oakham Ales often pair extremely well with the asian ("fusion") dishes on offer. Nicely presented restaurant

Never had the chance to actually eat in their venue, but ordered twice from Deliveroo and the food is absolutely fantastic!!!

I have been waiting to dine here since november 2015, finally got to visit & can i say i wasn't let down. It met my expectations. I visited around lunch time, decor was nice, staff very friendly. Menu value for money. I enjoyed my meal & was full. I would recommend families for its a family run business. I would definitely return.

I went to Oaka with a couple of my friends and the food was amazing!!! The black pepper prawns and chicken lettuce wraps were my favourites but honestly nothing was bad! They have a great selection of beers too! Definitely recommend!!

Went to check out this place and didn't got disappointed beautiful food and great service. The waiters are quickly and very friendly, love it and I definitely recommend this place

Great service and tasty food.Drinks were served promptly.Food was generous portions and it was very tasty

Neighbourhood thai just across the road from our B & B - good for families. Also good beer. You can also order take out

As a big fan of both decent Thai food and great Real Ales, Oaka certainly hit the spot. Travelled up a few weeks ago and visited on a Friday Lunchtime - was very quiet, but suspect it gets busy in the evenings/weekends. Opted for the Main Menu rather than the Lunchtime one. Decent sized portions, all very fresh and perfectly cooked. One of the best Thai meals I've had in a long while. Also worth mentioning of course are the fabulous Oakham Ales; several were sampled, and the Citra was just outstanding. This place is well worth a visit.

Lunchtime on a quiet Sunday in Kennington, this place looked good,a bit like a smart bar from the outside.Inside there is a warm looking bar and a restaurant area, plain but smart.The beer choices are excellent, some craft some not.And the service is good, friendly, efficient, helpful.But what about the food?Fantastic Cantonese cooking, plus some South-East Asian, all delicious, great flavours, good size portions. The sharing plates, great; the spicy soups,mmmmmm; the mains just yummy. And our green papaya salad was perfect, fresh and very hot.We were recommended to visit here and are keen to revisit.Loved it here.

I live locally but this was my first visit. My husband and I had been lamenting the fact that it's so hard to find a really good thai in London these days that's not bog-standard/greasy/salty. So I am delighted to have found a local restaurant where the food is superb. Tom tom soup was tasty. Crispy fried beef was crisp and not overdone in sauce that is too gloopy. Thai green curry was fresh and delicate. Even the side order of fried noodles and beansprouts was delicious even if eating on their own. Not too greasy. Our waiter was faultless. Attentive and professional. All in all we had a lovely meal. At first I was a bit disappointed when I walked into Mansion House as it is a modern pub and there are two big TV screens (though no sound), but you know how it is when yo're there with your fella and then the football comes on.... But luckily it turns out that Oaka Thai is actually in a separate section to the side of the pub. Smallish but comfortable, and relaxing lighting.Not essential to everyone, but important to me, is that the toilets were modern and very clean.

6 of us made a special trip from Hertfordshire to visit this pub/ restaurant simply because it is an Oakhams Ale house.Wow what can i say , it did not disappoint , the staff were friendly , the bar itself was spotless and the furnishings comfortable.With a happy hour between 3pm and 5pm plus a deal on cocktails for the ladies we were all spoilt for choice and value Oakham ales are superb and they are served perfectly at this fantastic bar.We will no doubt be back soon to try the Thai food....

I was meeting a bunch of colleagues after work and found this great place really close to Kennington tube.Great space and really accommodating as there were 20 of us!Beers and larger really good Krombacher on tap! At very reasonable price too.Staff extremely friendly, food looked great albeit I didn't eat.Definitely recommend this place!

This was our second visit and once again we were not disappointed.The food and service are to very good standard and I can highly recommend the crispy chilli beef. The Oakham beers are an excellent match to the Pan Asian food served. Can we thank Adrian for looking after all our requests and Jess for arranging a great evening for my wife's birthday.Will not be leaving it another 2 years before returning.

We visited this restaurant on a sunday afternoon and not many people.The place itself has been finished to a high standard even down to the toilets.The menue is varied and the shredded beef was the best I have had.My friend had the chicken hotpot which was also very good.Service was attentive with a good selection of ales and cocktails,all in all a very enjoyable afternoon.

I eat here a few times a month, a quick tip is to go on a Tuesday as you can get two meals for £10 of a selected menu. The food is always flavorsome, fresh and good value for money. The interior is modern and always warming. They also have a good selected of beers from Oakham ales, the award winning Citra beer is my favorite to compliment the food.

Modern restaurant offering a broad pan-asian menu. Food was delicious, service was good, nice lighting and music. Good value for money. Would definitely visit again.

It's hard to find good Thai, but this is good quality at a reasonable price. You can even watch it being cooked on the kitchen cam. What does set this apart from many is the quality of the service. The staff are efficient, friendly and helpful. I also enjoy their selection of ale.

This is our favourite Thai restaurant in London. The food is superb and couples with delicious Oakham ales you can't go wrong. The restaurant is the London home of Oakham beers and sells the full range. Conveniently situated by Kennington Tube. Give it a go!

This is definitely the best bar + restaurant in South London - something the area badly needed. Great food, drinks and venue!

I've now eaten at Oaka several times and have loved it every time! The food is great and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The vegetarian options are refreshing to see and keeps us coming back time and time again.

It's hard to turn out Thai food so lack-lustre, however, Oaka manages this with flying colours! Arrogant staff, who gurn at any criticism, complete the experience.The bar is good. Don't bother to eat.

je vais regulierement dans ce restaurant dans le sud de Londres, c'est avec plaisir que je retrouve toujours une qualité réguliere, des prix corrects, la liste des vins est très correcte et on trouve même du chablis !
