I'll support Topdog Andy. The food is the the only thing worth considering here. To me on a par with the Won Ton (sorry one tun) with a slightly more varied menu. The main differences being atmosphere - this is a restaurant above a pub, the One Tun is a pub that also serves Thai.
The pub downstairs is totally uninspiring serving ale at £3 a pint (slightly more upstairs)

Unless you want Thai food, I can't think of a single reason to come here, and if you're only looking for something to pad down the beer (ie. not a date dinner or a business dinner), you're better off going to The One Tun on the other side of Farringdon Road, which (in my opinion) does a nicer Phad Thai, and is a real pub - not some try-hard place that's had more facelifts than Joan Collins.

For anyone thinking "this is beerintheevening, you should review about the pub, not the food", if this 'pub' had a single remotely distinct attribute, I'd mention it.

As far as pubs go, yeah I guess it is more of a casusal restaurant now. I thought the Thai food was really good though and cheap. Though so fast you are a bit surprised ;) Been there 3 times and will go back. Though mostly for the food. Can see moving on to someplace with more atmosphere later. Every meal I have has was great though.

This used to be a good pub, then they ripped out the carpet and fishtank, overlit it, and crammed in as many tables as they could. No longer a pub, now a mediocre bar. One to avoid.
