Pad Thai Story is a Thai restaurant on Old York Road in Wandsworth Town, opened in 2019 by three friends with a shared enthusiasm for the country’s food. Family recipes and traditional techniques shape a menu that goes well beyond its namesake noodles. The intimate dining room and outdoor tables suit both quick lunches and relaxed dinners, with each dish cooked to order from carefully selected ingredients.
Appetisers include vegetable spring rolls, corn cakes, chicken satay, fish cakes, sesame prawn toast and salt and pepper calamari. Gyoza and prawn tempura add crisp and savoury options, while salads bring fresh herbs, chilli and lime into the opening selection. Ordering several small plates gives a table a useful introduction to the sweet, sour, salty and spicy balance used throughout Thai cooking.
Classic pad Thai combines rice noodles with tamarind sauce, egg, bean sprouts, garlic chives, spring onion, peanuts and lime, with choices ranging from vegetables and tofu to chicken, prawns or duck. More elaborate versions add sea bass, king prawns or soft shell crab. Drunken noodles bring garlic, chilli and basil, while pad see ew uses flat noodles, egg, vegetables and a darker savoury sauce.
Regional noodle dishes include coconut rich khao soi with chicken, braised beef or duck, laksa with prawns and tofu, and Thai boat noodles in a deeply seasoned broth. Green, red, panang and massaman curries sit beside basil stir fries, pineapple fried rice and grilled meat with papaya salad and sticky rice. Vegetable and tofu combinations, jasmine rice, coconut rice and Thai drinks complete the broad selection.
