Latymers, Hammersmith

Tried the Thai kitchen inside the pub and honestly, left pretty underwhelmed. The dim sum meat inside wasn’t properly cooked — I didn’t eat it. Pad Thai was passable, but the tofu was oddly wet and spongy. What really got me? A £3.50 service charge — despite no one checking on me the entire 1.5 hours I was there. Had someone come by, I would’ve flagged the dim sum issue. For £30, I would’ve expected really delicious, standout Thai — not undercooked dim sum and soggy tofu.

Modernised British pub offering Thai food Food : authentic Thai flavour Service: friendly with good balance Drink: offer Thai craft beer on draft which never found anywhere else. Beer price is slightly pricier. Atmosphere : clientele and dining room is comfortable and a good place to chat with friends

Food at Thai Kitchen at The Latymers was delicious with good portion. I had beef noodles soup (£15) which was tasty after I added some condiments. The service was quick and I liked the atmosphere. It was busy towards 1 pm, but I don’t think a booking is essential.

I had a chicken massamam curry with coconut rice. It was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was very authentic, waitress was polite and the food was served very quickly. The menu was varied with a lot of selection. I would definitely go back again to try other dishes. It was quiet on a Sunday afternoon which was pleasant and uninterrupted with loud music or big crowds so I would say the atmosphere was relaxing.

Visited 17/01/25. Came in for lunch as on Google, the restaurant was opened and serving food. When we got there, we found out that the kitchen didn’t open until 5:30. So we decided to wait and have some cocktails until the night staff arrived. I ordered a Porn Star Martini with Kyra who was very pleasant and friendly and whose shift ended. I ordered a French Kiss Martini, which I did not like the taste of, I took one sip and asked the blonde girl behind the bar if it was ok if I swapped out that drink and just had another Porn Star. The blonde girl asked with attitude “what did you not like”, I replied “I did not like the taste of it”. She was awkward, rude and shouldn’t be behind the bar with a poor personality, representing the hospitality of this restaurant. Good hospitality and customer service would’ve replied “no problem, we’ll make you another drink”. This was the most awful hospitality experience I had while being in London. While I walking away from the bar, the girl was talking about me to the male bartender. They overcharged us on our order, did not remove the drink that didn’t taste good. Not friendly towards Americans at all and handled conducting business extremely poorly. While the food served is Thai, the respect of a hospitable business was represented in dishonor of Thai culture. Would never recommend any Americans to eat, drink, or step foot in the door here after my encounter.
