13 people who'd know recommend Singburi

London

Singburi is the Thai restaurant the Kularbwong family ran out of a former Leytonstone fish-and-chip shop from 1999, and reopened in Shoreditch in June 2025 with chef Sirichai Kularbwong now cooking alongside Nick Molyviatis, formerly head chef at Kiln. Its stir-fried clams were chosen for the New York Times' list of the 25 dishes that define London. Thirteen chefs, cooks and restaurant owners have now named it — several of them as the table they still cannot get.

I live in Leyton, and Singburi has always been our go-to local spot when we want to celebrate anything: anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions.

What looks like an unassuming local restaurant, is quite possibly one of the best restaurants you might ever encounter.

Singburi. There will be a new site, I heard. Exciting. Maybe we can get a seat.

Every time I see people eat there I've got steam coming out my ears, I'm so jealous. I need to go.

Definitely Singburi, but because I can't get a table there anymore I would have to say Plaza.

Where are you desperate to try? Singburi. I can't get a reservation there, no one can get a reservation there.
