Historical version 2 of Boonchoo, WC1B 4ET (view current version)

Thai restaurant and takeaway on Southampton Row between Russell Square and Holborn.

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.

It felt average in a kind of anglicized way. I suspect they don't make their own sauces.
