Harden's survey result
Summary
“Solid if far from spectacular” Thai-fusion cooking characterises this 10-venue group, whose overall performance has picked up in the last year without attracting much feedback. The concept was launched by restaurant magician Alan Yau in 1999 – the same year he created world-beater Hakkasan; he is no longer involved in either.
Summary
After 25 years, this Thai-fusion group is generally regarded as “solid but far from spectacular”. Creator Alan Yau (who also has Wagamama and Hakkasan among his credits) is no longer involved and out-of-town branches in Oxford and Cardiff have closed down, leaving 10 outlets in the London area.
Summary
This “cheap ’n’ cheerful” Thai-fusion group (founded in 1999) with its mix of pad thais, curries and other spicy bites maintains a decent fan base and achieved very steady ratings this year. Creator Alan Yau of Wagamama and Hakkasan fame has long since departed and the business has had a bumpy ride, settling down to nine London branches and offshoots in Oxford and Cardiff.
Summary
This modern Thai-fusion chain still wins solid ratings for its “great food from an ever-changing menu”, but lack of feedback suggests waning enthusiasm for its nine sites across London. Founded in 1999 by Alan Yau as a follow-up to Wagamama, his global smash hit, it was forced to close its branches outside the capital a few years ago.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
