Brilliant comment

That’d be annoying though if you had to pay by cash. #shrapnel

@@ytgibbo One in the eye for the banks! 😉

This wins comment for me today. They could do it at that too and still be making at least 300% profit the profit margins on Thai food is ridiculous

I love it when I see cash only lol

Amazing, the power some KZfaqrs have, isn't it? I hope you're ok, Jacob x

Jacob, please know you are not alone. I also deal with loneliness and depression, but I found good people who support and encourage me, where I am in a good place now. Know you are among friends who have excellent taste in an amazing and humble UK food blogger, who shares his food experiences with us all. Sending you healing hugs and prayers that you find the help and care you need. Kindest regards, Anna-Marie in Pennsylvania USA!

So very sorry. I hope you can find some happiness. Since the death of my two husbands I've not been lonely as I have my dogs for company (a commitment, expense and restricting but lovely company) and I volunteer at my local hospital which gives life meaning. I hope you can find what works for you. x

I’m so very sorry to hear that Jacob. Please drop me an email when you can. Thank you.

@@simonsackett Thankyou Simon

Lol I can't tell you how much this comment made me smile and laugh at the same time, thank you

I used to work for a well known fast service chain and we had mystery shoppers. The results of the mystery shops carried a big weight at head office and as we had cctv we soon could work out who the mystery shoppers were so as long as we were on the ball, they always got extra fast service and of course the hottest fries!!

In a way I hope not. As much as Gary deserves success part of what makes his channel so great is the authenticity of the reviews. If restaurants start recognising him and deliberately giving him great food and service in comparison to the average joe, as I expect they do with other certain big KZfaq reviewers, it'll lose that :(

Thank you ever so much Tony, very kind

Don't give Waterstones any ideas lol

but i like Water and I like stones!

I'll get lost in there do like a read and willing to expand my taste buds

Many Thai restaurants have a swap shelf for books for tourists.

You have nailed it... couldn't agree more

A A Gill called it 'conviviality'. Can't be faked!!! I heard his talk at Hay on Wye when I was a volunteer.

So true. I think Gary knew the second he sat down he thought "we're on to a good one here" haha. He's right about London as well. If this was in London it would probably be on every "hidden gem" article on the web.

Glad you like them! I hope you are all good

Thanks so much David 👍

This is probably the nicest comment section on KZfaq genuinely 😄❤

@MitchellKJones: In full agreement.

I agree. This is a friendly place.

It's a fantastic channel, with the best community on KZfaq Paul 👍

It's truly wonderful comment section (most of the time lol) the community we have all built is fantastic to see

Hi Alan, head down to your local Thai place in Canada and give it a go!! Thank you and all the best

@@GaryEats ❤️

Thank you Michelle, that's very kind and I try to mix it up. Take care!!

They are popular in Kyiv, the books are for customers to read as they relax. Also found them in Czech Republic

Have you travelled outside of the UK yet Michelle ?

This was Thai though?

Common in Australia. 🦘

Gary's videos are essential viewing.

That is big big praise and one that I'm so humble to hear, thank you

Definitely the best reviewer,no gimmicks just an honest review and a gent,the thinking man's reviewer.

Correct.

Yes I agree. May I just add the very best camerawork.

Thank you ever so much Stephen

Thank you ever so much lol

That’s very kind to say, thank you very much

It's wonderful isn't it... very quirky but so so brilliant

let it be!

It was absolutely excellent Stevie, give it a go

Yep, I was shocked by how good the presentation was!

Glad you mentioned the Chicken Satay as I've been bursting to comment but didn't (under no circumstances on this awesome channel) want to post an original negative comment. There's no such thing as CS in Thai food. It's a Malaysian dish and you would be hard-pressed to find it anywhere in Thailand, except for tourist traps that also flog Pad Thai and Green Curry. Satay in Thailand is pork...moo. If you do find it, it would never be chicken breast, always thigh, as breast is 1. too expensive and 2. too dry. I really admire Gary but when it comes to Thai food he's very 'Western'; Green curry is purely a Bangkok thing and Panang or Phanaeng Curry is the mildest Thai curry out there. Restaurant seems quite special though, but he should have gone for the Tom Kha Kai. Anyway, rant over, and sorry to hide it as a reply hehe.

@@jonnywas2665 Wouldn't call it a rant, you sound like you know what you're talking about! Personally and through some experience with Asian foods, the majority of Thai, Chinese, Indian cuisine in the UK are westernised, very little I suspect would be found in the countries they proclaim to be from. When I was still a schoolboy I had a friend whos family was from Jaipur, I went to "tea" many times at his home and ate some wonderful food, most of which I couldn't pronounce, his mother and older sister were amazing cooks, barely any of that food I had there, have I seen in Indian restaurants to this day! After all the most popular "curry" dish in the UK was invented in Glasgow, supposedly! I love tasty, spicey food, not to hot anymore, but food with flavour and oomph! One day when Gary has reached a million, he will probably be able to afford a trip to Thailand or Malaysia or both and try the real thing!

I have to say, visiting independent restaurants is my favourite especially when they’re this good

That’s very kind to say thank you very much. I really respect everyone for watching and commenting it is a bit of a struggle to reply to everyone but while I can still do it I definitely will.

Glad you enjoyed it that makes me very happy

Thank you for all the information, Jonathan. It’s appreciated.

Yep that’s how I saw it as well

Thanks so much Butterfly, that means a lot as I try to mix up the content as much as possible. Please take care

@@GaryEats You're welcome Gary. Thank you too. Have a super evening with your family sweet x 😊

Thank you ever so much

Give it a go and congrats!

It was absolutely excellent Samuel, loved it

Couldn't agree more! Thank you 😄

Nailed it!!

@@GaryEats thanks a lot.But this must be said,you are a very honest chap in the culinary jungle !!

Michelin star crooks! Well said!

Lol that made me laugh, yes I can possible do that although last time people got annyoed that I went back to James May's Pub

Give it a go Gerald, thank you

You probably need to make a reservation after this video goes viral

Lol thank you Gareth!! Something very different

Lovely old Hastings, enjoyed it

So nice of you to say that, it really means more than you think

Thank you very much Bernie. You hit the nail on the head. This is a gem.

Interesting concept for sure

That’s very kind to say, thank you very much

Thank you ever so much Glenda, overjoyed you liked this one as most have as well

@@GaryEats absolutely lovely place I love books. The wall cupboard was packed top to bottom for some time with me. Have always dreamed of having a nice corner with my books actually 💯👍☺️☺️

My pleasure and thank you

That’s so kind, Cynthia. Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this one.

Wow that's big praise, thank you

Thanks so much Sean, it was absolutely delicious and glad you like Thai food!

Thank you Rose. I really appreciate that you have noticed that. What a wonderful comment. I do make mistakes and that's part of the experience, everything you see is authentic and thank you from the bottom of my heart

That’s really appreciated thank you very much

What did you think of the food?

My small local corner shop actually charge the customer a 60 pence transaction fee if using a debit/credit card. They do not highlight this and only on checking my receipt one day, did I realise that. So they must be making a fortune on this. So obviously they are not paying bank charges on their card machine but their customers are. I find that abhorrent. However, if this cafe adopted this form of payment, then they would not be responsible for payment. For such quality of food customers would only be happy to pay a small admin fee - well I would.

Thank you ever so much Ian, a real good find this

Thank you very much, Dan. That’s really appreciated and I’m really pleased that you love this restaurant.

No Kathleen, the pleasure is all mine. I really appreciate you watching

I'm trying my best!! Thank you

Amazing isn't it? Beautiful restaurant

This is an absolute gem, Christine and one I’d highly recommend

This was just a joy to do and I absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to return. Thank you very much as always and hopefully see you soon.

Could you ask for much more?

I was just about to say the same thing. £2 corkage for a bottle of wine and I'd be in there all day! 🌶📚

Thank you ever so much Bino, have a great day

I'm really happy you enjoyed this one, I had a feeling many would with the combination of food and books!

I promise you won’t be disappointed

Many thanks Jason

👍👍👍

Fair comment Andrew and thank you

@GaryEats you have a great, honest channel, mate. Keep going. And thanks for replying. A totally decent bloke.

Thank you!!

Thank you so much

That’s very kind to say thank you very much and I agree thanks to the two people who recommended

I think Thai food is up there with the best

Was it Ting Tong or Tong Ting?

@@markrushton1516 . Ting Tong

Hello there John, hope you've had a nice week

@@GaryEats all the better for watching your content m8 ! Love it 😎

I thought this place was fabulous, Robert and thank you for watching, even though Thai food isn’t for you

It was very relaxing and serene, loved it

I don't think Rick will be rushing to feature in one lol

@@GaryEats 😂

I'm glad they really cheer you up, hope you are ok?

@@GaryEats Thank you. As Harold would have said to William, my Kingdom for an Eye, just an Eye.

Thank you so much. I'd highly recommend you give it a go

I’m so pleased you visited and had a good time John. That’s fantastic.

Lol very funny

i looked at the curry and was to me not very much. either. there is not that much meat either it is packed out with rice. i really would ask what G. on that plate does there even look like a 400g meal. but with a bit more flavour

No problem

Brewer Street W.1.? Havent been there in years. Berwick Street. Raymonds Revue Bar.

@@lindacraig7486 Try KILN. You won`t be disappointed if you like Thai food

That’s very kind to say thank you very much and you won’t be disappointed if you ever visit

Very kind to say thank you very much it’s really appreciated

Wow, the crazies are everywhere 😂

Gary’s comment section isn’t really a place for politics mate. Particularly overtly racist xenophobic politics. Jog on please.

@@robertmclean5356 Agree completely with you Robert. It has also become a platform for those off loading their personal problems on to Gary. Whilst, I have every sympathy for those suffering (I lost my wee sister a few weeks back) and totally gutted. I realise this is a food review and appreciate that. But I do not want to burden Gary with my personal issues. To be honest am sick of hearing the sob stories. They only seek attention.

Thank you ever so much as always

That’s a really lovely comment thank you very much xx

That’s so kind to say as always, Lindsey xx

That’s very kind of say, Jonathan thank you very much

Wow, thanks Dave 😄

Thank you ever so much Linda, yes absolutely adored the place
