William's Reviews

This is a restaurant which has turned up out of nowhere and made a big impact in Hoxton Square. The food is authentic American barbecue, with the drinks and decour to match.

I had the buffalo wings to start (probably the best I've ever had) before moving on to the barbecue beef short rib which has to be tried to be believed; falling off the bone as you pick it up. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich which was still a sizeable meal and at a very competitive price. With a real passion and emphasis on the food, the other aspects of the restaurant cannot quite match up. The staff are very friendly but seem quite inexperinced and perhaps haven't learnt as much as they could have about the food on offer. The decour is a little cheesy and on quieter nights the atmosphere can be a bit dry. Overall though, excellent food, good value for money and friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back!

Esarn Kheaw has become my favourite Thai restaurant in London, with food genuinely as good as in the famous food-markets in Bangkok. Run by a friendly Thai family the menu hasn't changed since I first went in ten years ago and one gets the feeling that the recipes haven't changed for generations. Esarn Kheaw creates food which encapsulates all that is good in Thai cuisine: light, spicy and very tasty dishes which will leave you feeling satisfied rather than heavy and sick. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
