The story
Tucked into Unit 2 of the Globe Town Food Court on Roman Road, Eek Chai has earned a stellar 4.8-star rating from its early champions. The channel Where The Foodies Go featured the stall during a London travel episode, describing its Pad Thai as “pleasantly spicy and slightly sweet,” with rice noodles, bean sprouts, peanuts, and prawns. (Though the creator placed the stall at Camden Market, its actual home is Bethnal Green.)
With only that one dish recorded so far, Eek Chai appears to be making its name on a single, polished plate. For now, the takeaway is clear: if you’re in the market for a well-executed, crowd-pleasing Pad Thai, this food-court stall is one to track down.

Eek Chai’s pad thai is the undisputed star, earning singular praise for its vibrant, balanced flavors. The overall vibe is one of simple, satisfying comfort that keeps diners coming back.
“I went to choose the Pad Thai from Eek Chai. Pad Thai is a national Thai dish — rice noodles with bean sprouts, peanuts, and chilli. We decided to season it with prawns, but you can add other meat ingredients. It's good, pleasantly spicy, more on the sweet side than savoury in this case.”
