Description

Many chefs talk about their experiences informing their cooking but here that means so much more, as Ukrainian chef-owner Eugene Korolev has gone from fighting on the front line to opening a restaurant in Notting Hill. His love for Ukraine comes through in every dish; start with the crisp black pudding croquettes before tucking into crayfish with cabbage or beef dumplings in a spicy beef broth – and don’t miss the basket of delicious rye and sourdough breads. The restaurant is cosy, cute and run with genuine warmth.

Review summary

Located near London Waterloo, Sino offers modern Thai cuisine with mixed reception. Food quality is polarized: while many praise the freshness and generous portions of soups, curries, and salads, others report issues with stale ingredients, lukewarm reheated mains, and unclear allergen labeling. Service is generally described as friendly and efficient, though complaints exist regarding pacing inconsistencies and controversial practices involving double tipping requests on bills already including service charges. The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, suitable for families. Although praised for reasonable pricing and late operating hours, concerns about food safety standards and service transparency remain significant drawbacks for potential diners.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking late-night options near Waterloo with moderate expectations for freshness, but verify allergen details beforehand.
