Kinkao is a Thai restaurant at Lockes Wharf in St Davids Square, beside the Thames on the Isle of Dogs. Its riverside position provides views towards Greenwich and the Cutty Sark, while the large dining room and outdoor seating give the venue room for everyday meals, celebrations and private events.
Native Thai chefs prepare the menu with fresh ingredients and a clear emphasis on recognisable Thai flavours. Sweet, sour, salty and spicy elements are balanced across soups, salads, curries, noodles and stir-fries, allowing a table to build a varied meal rather than rely on one style of dish.
Satay chicken offers a familiar opening, while duck with crisp noodles is one of the restaurant’s more substantial specialities. Seafood, meat and vegetable dishes can be combined with rice or noodles, and the range of curries gives diners a choice of aromatic, creamy and chilli-led preparations.
The setting works equally well for a relaxed lunch, an evening by the river or a larger gathering, with drinks available to accompany the food. Spice levels and recipes can vary, so diners with allergies, intolerances or other dietary needs should discuss the current menu with staff before ordering.
Address: 8–42 St Davids Square, Lockes Wharf, Westferry Road, London E14 3WA, England
