Janetira (Soho)

• Janetira in Soho is a little thai restaurant right on the bustling Brewer St
• What I like about Janetira is that they do simple
• Or the sweet and tangy version with a hint of saltiness
• The one here at Janetira has the right balance of flavours and the sticky rice is as it should be sticky and soft
• The grilled chicken was nice but could have been better with abit more spice rubbed into it
• With pork broth and pork off cuts (gua jub is a rice noodle in the shape similar to penne)
• Nice balance of flavours and the condiments inside is a classic street food style you get in Bangkok
• Peanuts are added with a fresh squeeze of lime
• So you get a nice balance of savoury light pork flavour with the spicy and crunchy peanut&hellip
• Over the summer there was a sudden hype word reaching foodies lips
• Jane explained these were made to complement curries and soups well
• It was certainly crunchy with the right balance of corn and flour
• I tasted one spoon and my mouth was on FIYAAAAH
• The pink noodles with fish balls
• Accompanied with 2 crispy wontons skins
• The broth was clear with minimum oil floating around
• One of my favourite things to order is a Thai ice tea
• A blend of spices mixed with sweet condensed milk
• The kitchen started to offer more dishes local to the Bangkok area that are rarely served in London
• The dining room is simple and quite brightly lit
• With bare wood tables and somewhat uncomfortable stools that are not designed for lingering
• Pork and offal noodle in five spice soup is the kind of dish that is unlikely to appear at your local Thai restaurant any time soon
• Mackerel curry with pickled bamboo shoots was a dish that even my Thai companion reckoned was spicy
• Fried chicken was served on the bone cooked with chilli oil
• Garlic and chill stir fry was something of an acquired taste
• As the overall texture was a little slimy
• The fermented beans adding a quite distinct flavour that I suspect is more welcoming to a Thai palate than a western one (11/20)
• Though this was for more food than we could actually get through
• Having grown up with the British pub version of Thai food
• Lighter and best of all she didn&rsquo
• Jane Tira may be small but it is perfectly formed
• I started with chicken wings with crispy shallot
• They were moist and delicious and the shallot was a lovely addition and added a good flavour and texture balance
• Soft and succulent with a light batter
• The first mouthful was an explosion of heat&hellip
• The first bite shocks you and then you are in awe of the fact it can get that much hotter
• Through the sweat that was appearing on my brow and the tears that were building up in my eyes I soldiered on through the curry
• A big surprise for me was that the flavour of the mackerel held it&rsquo
• She swore it was hot but I couldn&rsquo
• The best food I have had in Thailand was the cheapest
• S Brewer Street is where to go for a fix
• Rather big chunks or tender pork belly with crisp fat too
• The other smaller plate was the excellently titled son in law balls
• A little dish of spicy sauce packed with chilli and fish sauce
• A while my Instagram was flooded with mouth watering pictures of Jane Tira's thai food
• Many has said that it is a good Thai restaurant
• There are dishes which are slightly more authentic
• Prices for smaller plates are GBP 5.50 &ndash
• Larger plates of noodles and rice are around GBP 8.00 &ndash
• Main dishes with a side dish of noodles/rice will come to around GBP 12.00 &ndash
• A main course with a side dish will be just enough for one
• No doubt it is reasonable for central London
• The chicken meat was a little tough
• The noodles were nice enough but the suki sauce tasted like an over sweetened hoi sin sauce
• The noodles were quite peppery and adequately moist
• It is simple on its interior with adorable service
• I started with some prawn crackers along with their awesome sweet chilli dip followed by green curry and noodles for my mains
• It was really well cooked as it was really soft and the way i like it
• This was fragrant with lemongrass
• Lamb shank Massaman curry was not that flavoursome as other Massaman curries I have tried elsewhere but Mr Nom loved the meaty lamb shank
• It could of done with a little more cooking to be more tender
• Prawn Pad Thai is a classic Thai dish
• This was delightful although I would have preferred it to be served with lime instead of lemon
• Sea bass fillets steamed with chilli and lime was packed with garlic
• I also presumed the fish would be steamed with fresh chillies but chilli sauce was poured into of the sea bass fillets instead which was a bit disappointing as the flavour was
• Crispy pork belly with crunchy cabbage and spicy caramel sauce
• Tongue searing chicken larb perfectly prepared with the right amount of acid and spice
• The atmosphere is somewhat depressing and dated
• The service was very slow (although kind)
• The maggamun lamb is cooked to perfection
• Though I'm not sure if we were only there for THATmackerel curry which is hot beyond belief
• My benchmark for spicy food is quite high but this one was another level all together
• Have you noticed that Soho is replete with French
• Jane Tira Soho on Brewer Street is a cozy Thai restaurant serving homemade Thai street food
• D like to think it means is that this is a family run business and the emphasis is on flavour and experience
• Enough heat but not crying into your meal with no other taste
• My buddy said it was one of the best pad tais he's had
• Especially since the couple next to us gave us a case of food envy with the beef dish they ordered
