17 Thai Restaurants in London

It makes statistical, geographical and sociological sense that if the Thai community in the UK is relatively spread out, the best Thai restaurants are spread out too. For a Thai restaurant London only has to follow its nose to a spicy spot on almost every high street. However, there’s a cluster of the best Thai restaurants in London down in Soho, each representative of the more upscale Thai restaurants London has to offer. For a cheaper Thai restaurant London has a smattering at all points of the compass. There are also numerous Thai supermarkets to keep you supplied with all the fresh ingredients for your own Thai cooking.

Celebrity Thai chef McDang is the authority when it comes to the question, ‘What is Thai food?’ Growing up amongst Bangkok’s Royal kitchens and travelling to the edges of the city to sample real Thai street food gave McDang an unparalleled understanding of authentic Thai cuisine. What is Thai food for McDang? It’s a cuisine that reflects intricacy, attention to detail, texture, colour, taste, the use of ingredients with medicinal benefits and big flavour. The best Thai restaurants in London will undoubtedly hold McDang and his principles close to their hearts, but Thai restaurants in London are generally big on all those qualities.
