Thai restaurant on Chiswick High Road.  The decor is smart, modern, and clean; wooden floors, black tables, wooden chairs.  There's seating for about 40 people.  According to their website, they also do takeaway (and delivery).

[[Bob]] first visited on a Thursday lunchtime in March 2008. I was the only customer apart from a group of three. I ordered from the set lunch menu [http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2330398355/sizes/l/in/set-72157605465213285/ photo], which gave me two courses for &pound;8. I chose spring rolls to start, followed by pad kra prow chicken with rice; it was all served together on the same plate [http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2331243104/in/set-72157605465213285/ photo]. They asked how hot I wanted it, on a scale of 1 to 10; I chose 8. It ended up being pleasingly hot, though I could have taken hotter (however it would probably have been quite hot enough for the average British palate). Service was friendly and helpful enough.

[[Bob]] visited again on a Tuesday lunchtime in July 2008. This time there were no other customers at all. The lunch special no longer seemed to be available, so I ordered a la carte (for a total of &pound;22 all in all, which is quite a lot). I started with moo ping (pork skewers; &pound;5); very good, neither overcooked nor dry [http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2670350119/in/set-72157605465213285/ photo]. My main was beef penang (&pound;7), which was again very good [http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2670365105/in/set-72157605465213285/ photo]. The steamed rice (&pound;2) was also notably good, as was the Thai iced tea (which came with star-shaped ice cubes [http://flickr.com/photos/rjw1/2670350571/in/set-72157605465213285/ photo]). Dessert was banana fritter with ice cream (&pound;5).

[[Bob]]'s verdict: Although the food is good, I wouldn't necessarily go back, especially for lunch, since it's a bit expensive to go a la carte and there are other much cheaper Thai places in Chiswick.
