Thaicoons

Lovely staff but average thai — lacked fragrance and vibrancy and colour. Would not really recommend as the food was fairly forgettable.

I feel like this place is one of those secret hidden independent family gems.
I came here a while ago with a friend not knowing really what to expect. As part of the Hungry House family is say 90% of their clientele is take away food. But if you go inside it’s extremely quiet and lovely with great food too.
We were the only ones in there. Which isn’t usually a good sign. But it was lovely to have some quiet and actually be able to talk over a lovely reasonable priced dinner. We didn’t feel hassled or awkward or like they where listening. Thaicoons is a lovely little
Thai and nice to have in the area!

Sometimes trying somewhere new doesn’t work out.
We were craving Thai food so we ended up ordering plenty. Proper fatboy portions!
The Pad Thai was really nice, but that’s where the praise stops.
The beef massaman curry was watery, and the meat was really chewy. The mixed starter seemed like it had just come out of a frozen Iceland party buffet. «Battered Tiger prawns — £2!»
In future, we’ll stick with our local, Tamnag.

Best Thai food I have had for a long time. Friendly, nice Indochine style décor. Amazing Chicken Laap. Highly recommend.

I’ve only had take-​out from here and while it’s not at the same level of quality as the Pepper Tree in Clapham, it’s still significantly better than a lot of Thai food I’ve had in London. Leave at least an hour for delivery.

So I’ve been feeling ropey recently (sore throat etc) and last night I fancied a spicey Tom Yum soup to try and remedy my ailments. But not feeling well enough to trek around South London I needed to find somewhere close to my home… and to my surprise within 2 minutes of Tulse Hill train station is a new Thai place called Thaicoons! Were my eyes deceiving me? There were no thai restaurants that I was aware of anywhere near Tulse Hill or Norwood. So I popped in and spoke to the lovely Thai owners and ordered my soup and left a very happy bunny. The soup was lovely and spicey (ordered some gyoza too — not too sure about those, think they needed some more frying). But I am truly made up… because if I am ill for the next few days I know where I can get a lovely Tom Yum soup near home! Go support it, we need to keep this lovely small business open!
