Historical version 15 of Baan Thai, SW9 8LQ (view current version)

Thai restaurant/takeaway on Coldharbour Lane in Brixton with online ordering via Urban Bite and JustEat.

secretlondon ordered via Urban Bite in October 2008. She ordered Krew Krob ("deep-fried white won-ton skin stuffed with triangle vegetables served with plum sauce", £4) which turned out to be five vegetable samosas photo, Pad Mamuang Himapan ("stir-fried king prawn with roasted cashew nut, mushroom and sun dried chilli", £8), which was prawns in a batter, with no chilli and with green beans photo; and special pancake ("Thai pancake stuffed with coconut flower", £4.50), a large green pancake containing dessicated coconut photo.

The order came with free prawn crackers.

Laura and Kit visited in July 2010 for dinner. They ordered Thai fish cakes & vegetable tempura for starters, and Khao Pad Pric (chicken fried rice) & Chef's Special Baan Thai noodles for main courses. The fish cakes were good; the tempura however was very stodgy with too much heavy batter. Kit's chicken rice was highly flavoured and chili-spiced; Laura's noodles came with a good number of king prawns which appeared to be fresh (not frozen), in a coconut sauce.

Service was attentive if slightly haphazard - the fish cakes arrived well before the tempura, then the waiter asked if the mains could be served before the starters were taken away.

The bill came to £36 for the 4 dishes plus 4 330ml bottles of Chang beer.
