    Fantastic experience. Dishes had excellent combination of flavors and presentation. Sufficiently artistic but not overly so. Creative wine pairing. Wonderful and approachable service added to the evening. Open kitchen has some entertainment value as well.

    Our experience was a Thursday evening from 6.30pm. An airy and good sized restaurant located very well on Upper Street. a 10/12 minute walk from Highbury and Islington Station and a 5 minute walk from Angel Station. Plenty of other diners but noise levels was reasonable and not chaotic. The service, staff were friendly and professional, always good when staff know the menu and what to recommend and tweak if necessary (dining with a friend with nut allergy) The food was the best part. We had the Thai mixed starter for two, with a few main dishes which we shared and ended with herbal teas. Highly recommend the Weeping Tiger from the main dishes Unable to sample any desserts we were too full. Incredibly delicious and very tasty and I believe it was priced accordingly to the quality of the food. I would definitely eat there again, perhaps try another Thai Square restaurant in another London location.
