Our story

On the dock since 2004

We started our journey back in 2003, offering authentic Thai food at our cocktail bar in the heart of London Wall. We relocated in 2004 to this waterfront location, which gave us the opportunity to expand our food menu and gives you the chance to enjoy the view.

The art of Thai food is founded on simple ingredients: fresh fish and vegetables, rice and aromatic herbs and spices. Thai cuisine is famous for its complex flavours, blending sweet, sour, salty, bitter and spicy tastes.

Parking is available on Dock Road and North Woolwich Road (online pay and display), and is free there from 6:30pm Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday. If you are driving, reach us via North Woolwich Road, leading to Dock Road. Khob Kun Mak Kha.

What guests say on Google

Perfectly location under the cable car, it's a great place for authentic thai food. Great flavours, loads of options both veg and non-veg. We enjoyed all the dishes and managed to eat it all, which at the time seemed like a lot of food! They're open to walk-ins, but best to book.
