Akasaka Wolverton - (Near , london)

Chris S Contemporary Thai restaurant with Singha on tap. That alone fills a gap in the market for this part of East London. The layout and decor is an improvement on what was there before. There are two unisex toilets for customers accessible without having to traverse the kitchen. The food was excellent. Portion sizes are on the large side. Prawn crackers, 2 starters, 2 mains inc rice and a veg side, was too much for 2 adults. Starter menu is very exciting. We went for beef balls and pork belly to share. Beef balls were decent. A bit like Thai spice kofta balls. Actually better not dipped in sweet chilli sauce. Wish we had gone for the sausage though, but was fearing a pork overload. Pork belly was excellent. The texture was the perfect mix of crispy without being hard, tender meat and fluffy fat. For main I had the chilli and basil stir fry pork. It was also excellent. Unusually there are no options for another meat as part of this dish. That was a similar theme across the menu, the meat, fish or tofu alternative options were limited or nonexistent. This is no bad thing if you’re a flexible diner, as it allows the menu to be a little bit longer than it otherwise would be. Main dishes do have enough veg in there, so the Thai vegetable side ended up too much for two people. It was also very good, particularly the broccoli. When we go again as a couple, we would be tempted to get the pork belly to share to start, then skip the veg side. That said, there were starters and sides we would really like to taste, so might have to be gluttons and over order again because what we had was so good. We went in mid January not long after it opened on Saturday evening and was surprised by how it was not full. I fear the stigma of filling Sing Buri’s old slot is keeping people away, particularly with the new competition from Mum Loves Thai down the road. Personally, I actually prefer Bangkok Belly to old Sing Buri for setting, the staff are much more pleasant, seating is less crowded and they serve beer on tap. I can’t judge the food completely but I would say that they are noticeably better with pork than old Sing Buri and marginally better with pork than new sing Buri. I think this will end up very popular, so would advise that you visit soon. If you have dietary requirements, I would advise that you check the menu before booking.

Nina The peanut sauce veggie chicken is the most incredible vegetarian meal. It used to be a ritual for my friend and I to visit Bang Bang, every time I promise to try something new but always end up getting the same meal every time. I always bring a food container with me as the food fills me for three meals (with home-cooked rice). Now my friend has moved back to her own country, I will be dragging other people to London for this absolute banger.

H Vs Everyone Their crispy pork belly is perfection, also the Singapore/salt and pepper chips.. one word to summarise how I feel; ADDICTED. All round 10/10 from customer service to taste & presentation, makes me feel like royalty every time, Happy New Year!

Marina HERBERT Just had another incredible lunch at 64, this place is becoming my fave… £59, 3 courses, such great value for the meal we enjoyed. The food is simply superb and the atmosphere just lovely. I think the Pommes Annas were the best ones I have ever had! A must visit!

Zahir Its been years since Ive visited NW London and I have missed it, so this was a lovely way to revisit the area The food is absolutely sensational - the portions and generous and the flavours are vibrant, every dish was on point The interior decour is also phenomenal, especially around the bar area. I liked the ambience and vibe of the entire restaurant The staff are also very friendly, Sakshi was attentive and kind towards my friend and I throughout the dining experience, which really is a great finishing touch Overall, Id highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking authentic Indian cuisine. I will definitely be revisiting!

Ravai Enjoyed the food and the taste was excellent. Recommending to taste the haleem, biryani and mirchi ka salan.
