Harden's says
The permanent incarnation of last year's “extended residency”, in a no frills, no booking, railway arch behind London Fields. The result? – “some of the best Thai food in the UK” – let's hope it continues at their new Shoreditch home.

Summary
“Your eyes water and it feels like steam is fizzing out of your ears, but with tons of amazing, aromatic flavours that make your taste buds literally zing” at this “terrific” Thai yearling in Spitalfields – “possibly London’s best, with many dishes not often seen outside Thailand”. “Friendly service too” in “a hip East End space” with “a great vibrant buzz”.
Summary
“The food is like good drugs!” at the new “Spitalfields forever-home” of this epic Thai (“which has perhaps lost some of its ramshackle charm in the move from Hackney railway arches”). “It’s a real eye-opener for what Thai food can be” – “raw authentic flavours”, “great taste combinations” and “some dishes that could blow your head off!” – “I’m addicted!”
