Dog friendly Thai Cuisine

If you’ve ever craved a steaming bowl of rich, flavourful beef noodles in London, you’ll know the struggle is real. There are good places here and there, but finding one that truly hits the spot — comforting broth, tender meat, and that perfect noodle texture — feels like discovering treasure.

Recently, we visited a Thai restaurant in Wimbledon that just launched their Boat Noodles, and honestly, I wasn’t ready for how good it would be.

Customisable Bowls: Choose Your Noodles & Toppings

What I love most is how customisable everything is.

You get to choose your noodles, toppings, and add-ons — almost like a premium, elevated version of traditional Hong Kong cart noodles.

For my bowl, I picked thin-sliced beef and scallops. The staff torched the scallops right in front of us, giving them that lightly smoky flavour that instantly lifts the whole dish.

The Broth: Rich, Deep, and Comforting

The broth is where this bowl truly shines.

It’s made by simmering beef bones for hours until the flavours become deep, rich, and satisfying. Every spoonful felt like proper comfort food — warm, soulful, and packed with flavour.

The thin-sliced beef was perfectly tender, and the ingredients overall felt thoughtfully prepared, with nothing skimped or rushed.

My Noodle Choice: Thai Thin Rice Noodles

I went for the Thai thin rice noodles (my favourite!), which had the ideal chewy texture. It soaked up the broth beautifully without turning mushy — the dream combination for noodle lovers.

Henry’s Bowl: The Showstopper

Henry ordered the beef ribs, and let me tell you…

That bowl was massive.

The ribs were so tender that the meat literally fell off the bone with one gentle pull. Soft, flavourful, and perfectly cooked — it was the highlight of the whole meal.

Don’t Skip the Skewers

We also tried the pork and beef meatball skewers, which were juicy, savoury, and so satisfying. They can be eaten on their own or added into your noodles as toppings — either way, they’re a must-order.

Thai Milk Tea to Finish

To complete the meal, we ordered two Thai milk teas — one with grass jelly and one with matcha.

Sweetness was just right, creamy but not heavy, and the perfect treat after such a comforting bowl.

A Lovely Meal With Coco

Of course, Coco joined us and was an absolute angel the whole time. She sat quietly, observed everything with her curious eyes, and melted some hearts as usual. Always a joy having her with us on our food adventures!

Final Thoughts

Finding a genuinely good bowl of noodles in London always makes my day, and this one definitely goes on my recommended list. From the broth to the toppings to the drinks — everything felt well-crafted with care.
