Mai Thai Restaurant

You'll find Mai Thai tucked into The Broadway in Wimbledon, and it's the kind of neighbourhood spot that locals keep coming back to without making a fuss about it. The kitchen takes its job seriously—these aren't dumbed-down curries or tired pad thais. Order the larb if they've got it, get a som tam that actually has teeth, and don't skip the satay. It's straightforward, honest Thai food at reasonable prices, the sort of place you'd genuinely want to eat at again next week rather than somewhere you're ticking off a list.
