Weybridge, Thai Restaurant Guide

This “reliable and busy Thai” has been a highlight of the local dining scene for over 45 years. The comfortable ‘Khan Tok’ dining room has been revamped, its cushions replaced by lounge seating – and is very popular.

2023 Review: A “stunning location… from a car park rooftop!” provides “amazing views over Guildford and the hills beyond” at this long-established fixture, known for its “wide selection of quality Thai dishes”.

“Wimbledon Village may have three Thai restaurants, but this independent family business is our favourite!” Nicky Santichatsak’s “traditional” operation sits “in the centre of the village” and is a “preferred choice for celebs during the tennis”. (There’s also a long-established Soho sibling that inspires no feedback).

“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”.

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!”)

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.

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.

This family-owned traditional Thai trio – in Brixton, Battersea and Tooting – is “always packed” – a tribute to the high levels of hospitality they have maintained over the years. The BYO policy means they are good value, too.

The “delicious and beautifully prepared Thai food” at this Fulham shop conversion makes it a “great local restaurant” that attracts diners from across London. The surroundings are nothing special, but everything is “served with charm”.

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”.

2023 Review: A plug from Tom Parker Bowles in the Daily Mail did no harm at all to this Thai concession in an attractive old pub opposite the building site once known as ‘Hammersmith Town Hall’, where the cooking is a cut above that in a typical boozer. Top Tip – “if you get the chance, eat in the sun in the cute beer garden at the back: with some delish salt ’n’ pepper squid, life is good!”

“Part of the ongoing gentrification of Shepherd’s Bush” – LA chef Kris Yenbamroong has found a permanent showcase for his US-style ‘nu Thai’ cuisine at the new Hoxton Hotel overlooking Shepherd’s Bush Green. It’s “surprisingly fun”… “lively, tasty, and fairly priced”. The food is brash and impactful (“I had a delish bowl of fries, deep-fried chicken wings with hot sauce and tuna melt sandwich with a refreshing lychee lemonade”), while “large rounds of beer heading to most tables often contributes to the merriment”. A few reporters do have quibbles – that the “sharing plate concept doesn’t really work gastronomically”; or that the “LA influence is too horribly sweet, missing out on the salty and sour components of good Thai cooking”. But even some critics feel it’s “finding its feet: I’ve been back four times since December and the menu improves each visit”.
