"A trip to Smoking Goat is worthwhile for this fiery Thai restaurant’s crunching chilli fish sauce chicken wings alone. Sweet, sour, and spicy—they’re some of the best examples of fried chicken in town. Wings aside, Smoking Goat is an expert in humming flavours and atmosphere. Groups of friends and colleagues fill the industrial space to shovel larb on to their tongues and turn to fried egg noodles and lardo for respite. There’s a counter too, usually abuzz with couples, and perfect for exploring the reasonably priced cocktail list." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$Since March 2023, the always inventive Ben Chapman and his brilliant development chef Kim SongSoo have repositioned the laid-back Shoreditch Thai restaurant and bar Smoking Goat as a “chicken shop” — serving (very good) fried chicken, fish sauce wings, and snacks fashioned from crisped seasoned chicken skin. But Kim has also conceived a number of new dishes with a fresh focus on wok-cookery that make a visit essential; the moreish, textural phenomenon can work on its own or as the centerpiece around which other dishes can be enjoyed, such as the sweet, umami-rich pork with Chinese olives.Must-try dish: Fried noodles with egg, chile, and green onion. Get the relishes, too." - Adam Coghlan
"When it’s raining and you can no longer feel your extremities, you want somewhere that satisfies, not stuns, and that can get you out of your bad weather funk. Smoking Goat is a Thai restaurant in Shoreditch that comes into its own for bigger groups with small plates of moreish fried chicken skins and tom yum crab." - team infatuation
"Smoking Goat’s chilli fish sauce wings are serious business. They’re sweet, they’re sour, they’ve got a crunch that can do serious damage to the top of your mouth. And the sauce—golden in colour and in feeling—is something we’d happily pour all over ourselves. Get to this Thai restaurant in Shoreditch, stat." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
"Monday to Wednesday there will be a changing Thai barbecue dish as part of Smoking Goat’s EOTHO set meal. £10 will get you their chilli fish sauce wings, the daily plate, sticky rice, and pickles. They’ve also just opened a new outside seating area on Redchurch Street." - jake missing
