We had a late lunch here and everything was soooo gooood!!!!
Papaya salad was big surprise. Delicious! And don’t miss the desert-creme brulle- yummy!
Everything was very tasty and the staff was helpful with order.
We will definitely come back!

Cool contemporary Vietnamese cuisine in Peckham. We enjoyed the mussels, the pork neck skewers and the fried sticky rice croquettes. They also serve cool SE Asian tinged cocktails. We were sat upstairs, which has canteen vibes with long tables and plastic chairs. Overall a decent place for a group catch up, and fairly reasonably priced.

A really trendy vibey spot serving modern Thai food with a twist – would have loved more traditional Thai dishes but everything we had was delish. The sticky rice & beef was the highlight dishes for sure

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Lai Rai a few days ago. The standout dishes were the roasted red kuri squash, mussels in the coconut and lemongrass broth, and the rice paper salad.

Great cocktails, nice food and ambience but just 2 stars from me!
We had a reservation for 18.15. Once we had finished the food, we were offered dessert and coffee.
Before the dessert was served on the table… they brought us the bill saying that we have to leave as we were there for 1h and 10’!!!
Basically , the kicked us out!!!
I checked the website and the reservation confirmation email and they do not mention anything about the time you reserve the table for!!!!
Clearly, if there is such policy , it should be mentioned somewhere!!!!
In addition, if they felt we had to leave… they should not have offer desert or coffee… did they expect me to pay additional 20£ to have it as take away?!?!
Unacceptable treating customers these way!!!

Best lunch in a while. Every single dish was so flavoursome.
Drinks were executed really well. Nice atmosphere and the service was really friendly without being unnecessary pushy.
Great addition to Peckham food scene.

I think the food was fairly inventive.
The prawn lollies were a little gummy the sauces underneath were very good .
The papaya salad was nice enough but maybe not as good as some more simple Thai ones I’ve had.
The chicken was definitely the highlight.
The vegetable dish was also pretty decent.
I think using old banh mi to have to dip only really works with one or two of the saucier dishes. Perhaps the mussels?
The rice cake/slabs were pretty hefty.
Main issue was that the food came out in quite a staccato manner so we couldn’t always enjoy things together.
I think having some dipping sauces as well as plain rice and plain banh mi options would be good (maybe the fresh bread is only for lunch service though?)
Vibes are pretty cool, hawker-market type crockery and cutlery.
Anyway, definitely great potential. Love to see it

I came here having made a reservation beforehand. Nice environment and food, but when our dessert and coffee arrived, we were told that we needed to vacate the table in 10 minutes. We had not been told this at the time of reservation or when we arrived at the restaurant or when we ordered dessert and coffee. 10 minutes is not enough time to enjoy dessert and a coffee, plus the coffee was not the one I had ordered. This left a sour aftertaste to an otherwise enjoyable meal.

Really enjoyed my visit to Lai Rai London. The food was delicious, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. It’s easy to see why the restaurant is recognised in the Michelin Guide

Very pleasant experience, with a lot of potential. The staff were incredibly friendly, the atmosphere was lovely.
The food in general was good, but there are a few areas of improvement. Some dishes felt like they were missing something. A few dishes were on the dry side (likely intended to be served with saucier dishes) but because the plates were brought out when they were ready, there was long gaps between them, meaning they couldn’t be enjoyed together.
With a little more attention to timing, this could be a fantastic spot.
