East Street (Fitzrovia)

• The pad thai was generous and so moreish that my partner made sure to pick every last bite from the plate
• Though the beef was curiously dry
• The curry itself was absolutely perfect and more than made up for the difference
• The waiter that serves us was slightly rude and had too much on we plate
• Overall the place is very impressive from the outside and inside
• East Street is a very lively joint
• While the food is of uniformly good quality
• I wouldn't mind if they were a bit more prompt
• I skipped last Christmas and headed to Cambodia and Laos for three weeks of travelling with my flatmates
• The other day someone on Twitter and in London mentioned that they were drinking it
• I queried where she was and discovered East Street
• A few days later I found myself battling through a torrential rainstorm (the sort where umbrellas are essentially useless as the rain is coming sideways and upwards) to meet a friend for lunch there
• It is the sort of decoration a restaurant would wear if it was going as Asian to a fancy dress party
• With a good kick of spice they were very morish
• The prawns were large and juicy
• We finished up with fresh mint teas (I was going back to work) and the bill came in at just under £
• Colourful joint filled with Asian street stall signs &
• East Street is a colourful and lively joint
• The food we ordered came steaming from the kitchen and was flavoursome
• The staff were accomodating to my nut allergy and were generally very attentive
• The interior is an experience in itself
• Asian bank notes and maps are glued to the walls and street signs hang from the ceiling
• I highly recommend the Pad Thai which is sweet and tasty
• Popular place with the easy going air of Wahaca
• Hearty nibbles with someone you're not exactly aiming to impress
• Each dish is labelled with the country of origin
• Dishes generally come with a mound of sticky
• I would recommend to dive in when you find yourself wandering central London with a friend and fancy an impromptu nibble without sacrificing too much of your hard earned cash
• The searing is really informal
• I liked how lively it was even at noon
• It is very nice going with a bunch of friends as East Street (Fitzrovia) encourages conversation and continued interactions
• I enjoyed the platter with different appetizers to share as you have the opportunity to taste different things
• There are so many different meals and the servers are more than willing to help you through out the process of deciding what to eat
• This restaurant is not difficult to find however if I was not looking for it
• Philippine cuisine is the poster child of 'fusion' food but it also has neat tricks up its sleeve (which may not be everyone's cuppatea
• You don't serve adobo with chips/crisps/broccoli
• First thing I noticed was the garnish of sweet potato 'slices' which resembled crisps from a packet
• The BBQ Platter is a mix of chargrilled satay and yakitori chicken skewers
• I wasn't really blown away by the selection to be honest (the satay sauce was a bit dry and the chicken was bland) but at £
• ) You can have it as a main if you're really hungry or you can share it with someone else as a starter
• I went for the ga xe phay which is a Vietnamese salad of grilled chicken and shredded veggies in a lime and peanut oil dressing
• I've asked them to make it spicy so I was pretty happy to see chopped chilies tossed around
• The serving was massive and the salad was very filling
• The bu loc lac (Vietnamese shaking beef) was quite nice
• East Street served it with some sort of caramel sauce and cinnamon ice cream
• The atmosphere seemed livelier and I think that's what East Street is really about
• Heard from a friend that East Street (Fitzrovia) was nice and they weren't wrong
• The decor inside is pretty cool
• Mains come with rice is a welcomed change to having had it separate
• Then go visit these guys are they are right in the middle of Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road
• East Street (Fitzrovia) is quite cool and exciting with its colourful decor transporting you to somewhere fun in East Asia
• Thai curries and malaysian rendang all with a reasonable price tag attached
• I decided to go with the Malaysian satay chicken with rice which featured on their light lunch menu
• We visited for a meal just before christmas so the place was pretty busy therefore the service levels were impacted
• Tastes yummy with the Tangy sweet dip
• London (outside of Chinatown) is so full of them
• An outrageously large portion size with bonus prawn crackers (most still crispy
• There was enough of it and it was a tantalising combo
• The fried shallots were a crunchy topper
• Some dishes are good and others are pretty mediocre
• Best nasi i have had in london is from Roti king
• Fantastic selection of Asian fusion meals that are great for lunchtime or a quick bite off of Oxford Street
• Unfortunately I was on keto diet so couldn&rsquo
• The food can get spicy if you are not careful
