Kiln, Thai restaurant in Soho, London, United Kingdom.
Kiln is a minimalist Thai restaurant with counter seating where chefs prepare traditional dishes in clay pots and flaming woks over hot coals. The open kitchen allows diners to watch food preparation from start to finish.
The restaurant established itself on Brewer Street, introducing traditional cooking methods from Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Yunnan to London's dining scene. These culinary styles were relatively new to the British capital at that time.
The restaurant blends British ingredients with Thai cooking techniques, presenting regional dishes through an open kitchen format where diners watch food preparation unfold.
The ground floor counter welcomes walk-in customers daily from midday through late evening, while the basement accommodates group reservations for up to six people. It helps to arrive early during busy times or call ahead to minimize waiting.
Chefs prepare clay-pot glass noodles with Tamworth pork belly and brown crab using specialized vessels and regional spice blends. This handcrafted cooking technique gives each dish an authentic smoky character that is rare elsewhere in London.
