Authentic thai dining in London

“We loved every bit of it! The food was amazing; a great range to choose from. We especially enjoyed the Goong Chu Chi (chef's special) with coconut rice, YUM! We were stuffed by the end of the main course, but couldn't resist the temptation for desserts. Ordered Thai Pancake and the in-season special, Mango and Sticky Rice and devoured both! On top of that, the service was top teir, very friendly and attentive. We will definitely return!”

“Amazing place! Recently went for a birthday dinner and was absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and friendly staff. It’s a small place that is loved by many so make sure you book, especially if going during a weekend!”

“Starters and main dishes were ready within literally 5 minutes of us ordering and the food was DELICIOUS. I don't often five 5 stars but this place really deserves it. The starter soup (Tom Yum with Prawn) was nice, but the Green Thai Curry (n.43) was the best I've ever had. I had it with Jasmine rice. It was super flavourful and you could really taste the ginger, lemongrass, chilli etc. It was sweet but not too sweet. The spice level for the hot one was just right. 10/10 The neighbourhood was quiet and the restaurant itself has large windows that let in loads of natural light. The view of the park next door is lovely as well. The decor inside was pleasant. The table was a bit sticky but they did wipe is straightaway as soon as we let them know.”

“Best authentic Thai food in London. You can see I have been on a three year mission to find this restaurant. We had waterfall pork salad, pork rib tom yum, basil chicken, isaan sausage and morning glory, plus of course lots of chilli fish sauce which came free on request. Flavours were bold and confident, cooked to perfection, with a variety of authentic dishes, and it was spicy enough, though maybe next time I request phet phet. I have been to very upmarket places not run by Thais; and I have been to Thai family places; but this seems to be the platonic ideal of Thai hospitality and cooking, with the minimal expected concessions to the UK audience on service and ingredients. Next time we will try the som tum and the fish. If it's up to scratch then hands down this is the reigning champion of the cuisine in London. Will update accordingly.”

“Since being introduced to this lovely little eatery by an ex-girlfriend I've had meals there perhaps half a dozen times and been thoroughly delighted on each occasion. The food is right up there with the best Thai you can find in London at sensible prices and the service, from staff I've found unfailingly friendly, helpful and welcoming, is flawless. Billing itself as a bistro, it's bright and cheerful rather than moody and luxurious but to my mind a tiny gem of a place…”

“Rating: 5/5 I recently visited "Mum Likes Thai Food" restaurant on my birthday, and what a wonderful surprise it was! The restaurant is conveniently located just opposite our flat, but it was the excellent hospitality and delicious food that truly made our visit special. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we felt right at home. The service was top-notch, and the ambiance was cozy and intimate. But the real star of the show was the food - oh, the food! We were treated to a culinary journey through Thailand, with each dish more flavorful and aromatic than the last. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I'm so glad we decided to try "Mum Likes Thai Food" on my special day. It was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone craving authentic Thai cuisine. We'll definitely be back for more! Pros: - Excellent hospitality - Delicious and authentic Thai food - Cozy ambiance - Reasonable prices - Convenient location Cons: None! I highly recommend "Mum Likes Thai Food" to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience.”

“We discovered this little cozy Thai restaurant by pure luck. Intimate atmosphere, they serve you with humble and professional attitude, in very efficient time, truly enjoyable food. Every bite was more and more engaging. Recommended.”

“Been here 5 times since it reopened and every time was excellent. Great fresh food full of flavour and the starters are excellent. Mains are great too. Service is good. Atmosphere is great. Could do with a new sign outside though to attract more customers to this great restaurant.”

“Very friendly restaurant with great tasting food. Originally we went past as we thought the place was empty but everyone was eating in the beautiful garden at the back.We will definitely return when we are back in St Albans. We the £28 set menu which was very filling.”

“What can I say about this restaurant but a joy to find it.from the entrance which has character and charm ,to the drinks lounge area which is stylish. To the upstairs restaurant that is atmospheric. The staff all very knowledgeable the food a masterpiece of flavours. I will be going back for sure.”

“Pleasantly surprised - extremely flavorful and the restaurant offers reasonable price points. Loved the food. Definitely coming back!”

“As a Thai person, I strongly recommend this place. All foods and deserts here are truly authentic. These make me feel like home. One thing that you should try at here is Moo Krata, Thai style grilled pan. If you don't know what kinds of foods you need to order, just show staffs my pictures because all these are traditional and local foods that Thai people normally eat. So, I would say that 100% approved. Worth a try!!!”

“Cosy, authentic, hidden place with beautiful decor. It's hidden though on main steet. We had early lunch on Sunday afternoon and had the palace for ourselves. Staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, even turned on the Christmas lights for us;) I enjoyed chicken green curry a lot, it was a perfect blend of spice and coconut flavour. The lunch menu is reasonably priced, for under a 20£ you get a main, a starter and a choice of soft drink.”

“Stopped in for a late dinner with my family. We were lucky to get immediate seating as this place is pretty small. The service was prompt. Our server made a good recommendation for my picky 11 year old and the kitchen was able to accommodate her with a special order. The food itself was really good. We had Pad Thai, Pork Panang, Spring Rolls. All were excellent. Highly recommended.”

“Best Pad Thai ever! The Staff is very kind, and it is a very sweet place with amazing food. Definitely a must try”

“OMG. It’s even tastier than what I had back in Thailand. It’s definitely a hidden gem and we will come back again. Thanks Pim for the excellent service.”

“Love this place! I had take away from there a few times before and was always pleased with the food quality and taste, for the first time yesterday I ate at the restaurant for my Birthday with a bunch of friends and it was a really lovely evening! Very cosy and intimate atmosphere, food was great and the staff was very nice and patient with us. Big portions and very reasonable price for the quality and for the area. I also appreciated the BYOB, I'm a bit fussy about wine and being able to bring a fancy bottle was an extra value for me. Definitely recommended!”

“Small but Authentic Thai Corner in London This restaurant may be small in size, but it delivers a genuinely authentic Thai dining experience. The space is cozy, although the close proximity of tables can slightly reduce privacy. That said, the atmosphere is relaxed and quiet, making it easy to enjoy your meal at a comfortable pace. Service was attentive throughout, with friendly staff happy to explain the dishes. Prices are on the higher side, but that’s to be expected in London. If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine and are looking for flavors true to their origins, this spot is definitely worth a visit.”

“Absolutely delicious Thai food! I had an amazing experience at this Thai restaurant. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced—spicy, savory, and full of rich herbs. Every dish was cooked to perfection, especially the Pad Kra Pao and Fish salad. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Thai cuisine!”

“all about this restaurant were perfect. From the excellent service to the most delicious thai experience we had in London! The pad si-ew noodles were perfect and the sweet and sour buttered chicken!”

“Very delicious! I'm a tourist from China and i've tried many Thai food back in my country. And what i had here were definitely among the best experiences! We had seafood cakes, gyoza, drunken noodle and yellow curry, they were all very yummy indeed~”

“A lovely neighbourhood restaurant. Delicious fish, excellent value.”

“Incredibly authentic and tasty Thai food. Truly delicious! The service is always very friendly and professional. Sonja and colleagues are simply wonderful. Very reasonable prices too for the quality provided. It is also a really beautiful space with lots of interesting art. Recommended!”

“Had a really lovely experience at Thai Square Strand. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, the food tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the staff were genuinely friendly. It’s one of those places you leave feeling glad you stopped by. Would definitely visit again.”

“Amazing thai food in town. Vegan meat ball with curry is my favorite. It tasted is same as my mom cooked for me when i was young. Salt and pepper squid is mvp of the meal. It’s crispy but inside is soft and fresh. It make me want to quit being vegan. Highly recommended.”

“I’m thrilled to leave a review for this amazing place. Thai n Pie is the ultimate for an exceptional option for Thai dining experience. I have been here a few days ago with my girlfriend for dinner and I can say that this is the best place in terms of price and quality. Their mojito drinks are amazing and refreshing and the food is outstanding, with every dish bursting with authentic flavours and beautifully presented. The staff is friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Definitely will come back!”

“Amazing Thai restaurant! We're newbies in the area and immediately fell in love with this place! The food is authentic, many options, taste great! Excellent and friendly service, and of course we quickly become their regulars!”
