    Sadly the food was sub-par, and therefore the experience was a disappointment. Not a patch on Speedboat Bar.

    The food was very disappointing, especially considering that Chef David Thompson is behind it. The portion sizes are a disgrace and the flavours are average. For example I order the mince chicken curry and it was an almost task to find even a particle of chicken in that pathetic portion that I was served. The service was fine but I would not recommend this restaurant even to my worst enemy. Going to an average Thai restaurant would be much better and definitely much cheaper !!!!!

    Fabulous food, friendly service and we were lucky to get a window seat which was great for people watching! Would recommend if you want authentic, spicy Thai food

    Nice venue, good staff. Food was ok -small sticks and frozen stodgy prawns on their signature noodle dish. Typical West End, nothing special but OK.

    Our first experience dining at Long Chim was mesmerising!! The quality of the dishes and the ambiance was truly amazing. The service was professional and the staff had excellent interpersonal skills. We will definitely be returning to the restaurant for more of these delicious dishes.

    The food and the service were both excellent. Between the five of us we tried a good portion of the menu and there wasn't a bad dish or starter between them. Our waitress was very nice and helpful. The dismaying thing was the poorly chosen four in the floor house music throughout dinner.. we could barely hear each other speaking and irrespective of the volume it's just a very poor match for the dining experienced. I"get" that the restaurant wants to be hip and modern but there are many other types of modern music that are far more conducive to a dining experience. I'm afraid it's bad enough that I couldn't return to this restaurant.
