What should you order at Singburi? The dishes the people who recommend it mention: stir-fried clams.
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.

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

What looks like an unassuming local restaurant, is quite possibly one of the best restaurants you might ever encounter.
I live in Leyton, and Singburi has always been our go-to local spot when we want to celebrate anything: anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions.

Best restaurant in London, Singburi, but I can never get in now.

Best restaurant in London, Singburi. It's affordable, the food's incredible.
chef-owner, Sambal Shiok (Holloway) · on TopJaw
Definitely Singburi, but because I can't get a table there anymore I would have to say Plaza.
