Bushey, Thai Restaurant Guide

2021 Review: The “lovely Thai food” at these reliable cafés is “impressively authentic given that they are a chain” – “excellent value” and “fast”, if occasionally let down by “iffy service”. Founded in 2008 by Saiphin and Alex Moore, who inherited the name of their first East End site, the group has 18 branches in London and expanded to Liverpool, Manchester, Reading (delivery only) and Leeds following the sale of a majority stake to US investors. The couple also have two spin-offs, Lao Café in Covent Garden and the new Chinese noodle bar Hoh Sek in St Katharine Docks.

“Generous portions” of “reliably excellent Thai food” have kept the six London branches of Khun Patara Sila-On’s international group busy for more than 30 years. Although known for its value for money, there were one or two grumbles about “price increases” this year, but full agreement that you get “a consistently great bargain on their lunch deal”.

“Super Thai food” makes this “rather cramped” but otherwise “lovely” local fixture “really worth a visit” according to fans (albeit one that’s also popular for takeaway) and it’s great value for money too; from Tuesday to Saturday they do a lunchtime noodle bar.

This “exciting local gem” near Stamford Brook serves “excellent Thai cuisine in a no-nonsense setting”, attracting aficionados from far and wide who warm to an “authenticity” that makes it “almost an ‘in-country’ experience”. The uninitiated may miss the point other than the good prices. Top Tip – “if they say something is hot, believe them!”

“Good home-cooked Thai food” at “bargain” prices keeps guests coming back to this trio of Hammersmith neighbourhood cafés, distinctively crammed full of retro bric-a-brac. They serve English breakfasts and afternoon teas by day.

2021 Review: The “scruffy basement of a pub” in Bayswater is the setting for what some in the fooderati believe to be “hands-down the best authentic Thai cooking in London” – “food like you’d have in Thailand”. Top Tip – “the bbq pork neck is melt-in-your-mouth”.

2023 Review: This “deservedly busy” Thai canteen has been an Earl’s Court staple since the late 1990s, serving a cheap and tasty menu which is “all good, from the prawn crackers to som tum”.

With its “above-average food and friendly staff” this “fine, family-run Thai” is a “popular Barnes local that also delivers” – and that takes full advantage of its prime position directly opposite the Olympic Studios indie cinema. (“The menu has remained the same for a long while – some new dishes wouldn’t harm!”)

High ratings express continued satisfaction with this 70-seater in Fitzrovia, where an outside bar is something of a feature. The website promises ‘Asian-inspired food, cocktails and sake’ and steady feedback confirms that’s what it consistently delivers.

“Super spicy (in a good way) cooking”, “really interesting dishes” and “roti to die for” keep aficionados of new-wave Thai cuisine coming back to Sebby Holmes’s Highbury venue – originally a pop-up, but now firmly established after eight years on the scene.

Some of the “most authentic Thai food you could ever experience in UK is prepared by a Thai chef and team” in the bizarre but “beautiful” surroundings of a florist’s shop, near King’s Cross station, where “the flowers are put aside in the evening to make room for extra tables”. Chef Wichet Khongphoon delivers “incredible” and “powerful” flavours and the “attentive staff give helpful and useful guidance as to the potentially obscure treats” from the “interesting and deeply satisfying” menu. “You can get a green curry (a really good one!), but alongside more unusual starters, there are salads and slow-cooked meats, plus good vegan options with clear allergy pointers too”. “Book well ahead: and you may have to wait for your table even so, as the place is very busy and popular”.

2021 Review: First European outpost of a Thailand-based chain – a sizeable operation in Fitzrovia that’s now in its second year. Some “lovely spicy combinations” help create a “really interesting menu” but views divide a little on the trendily-designed space: “lacking atmosphere” to some but “lovely” and “den-like” to others.
