Thai food by numbers 14th September 2008

One of Ken Hom’s restaurants, Sri Nam is a Thai ‘and Pan Asian’ located in the middle of Canary Wharf. Downstairs is a bar/cafe, and upstairs a restaurant, all largely populated by bankers and clients. A lot of people really rate this place but I’ve never really seen it – the service is impersonal and slow at peak times, the decor is generic (Thai for westerners).

Food is OK but doesn’t offer anything very exciting or new – some options are quite spicy and the sticky rice is good, but in general it feels like East Asian food-by-numbers to me. With a celebrity chef in charge it would be nice to see some real fresh thinking or new versions of traditional dishes.

Good Quality Thai restaurant 4th September 2008

Thai restaurant located in the middle of the Canary Wharf district, nice for a posh dinner or just an after work drink. The food is different obviously and can be quite hot as it is Thai food, but there is plenty that is bland and not hot at all. Good selection of starters and mains, and if you are after a quiet meal than get a table upstairs where there is a nice ambience even when busy with city workers. They can fit large groups as well as it is quite large and normally loads of space in the bar so you can grab snacks with drinks on the downstairs level. Trendy decor so it's worth checking out even if not a big fan of Thai food.
