[[secretlondon]] went here one Monday night in April 2009. She had black goddess tea (£1.50) which was served in something a bit like a cafetiere. She had golden tofu puffs which it was claimed was served with ground peanut in sweet and sour plum sauce. This was 6 deep fried tofu cubes, not marinaded, with a syrupy dip with a few peanuts in. She then had chicken pad Thai (£6.75) which was described as sweet and fruity sour. It was pretty tasteless but I could identify the tamarind if not anything else. |

<div class="old_info"> Thai restaurant and takeaway on Southampton Row in [[Locale Holborn|Holborn]]. They also do delivery and you can order online [http://hungryhouse.co.uk/boonchoo from Hungry House]. |
It felt average in a kind of anglicized way. I suspect they don't make their own sauces. |

[[secretlondon]] visited on a Monday evening in April 2009. I started with golden tofu puffs, which the menu claimed were served with ground peanut in sweet and sour plum sauce. This turned out to be six deep-fried tofu cubes, not marinaded, with a syrupy dip with a few peanuts in. I followed this with chicken pad Thai (£6.75), which was described as sweet and fruity sour. It was pretty tasteless, but I could identify the tamarind if not anything else. To drink, I had black goddess tea (£1.50) which was served in something a bit like a cafetiere. It felt average in a kind of anglicized way. I suspect they don't make their own sauces. Accessibility: No step to enter but entrance may be too tight. Some seating on a stage but some on level.
