Champor-Champor in Southwark

This is definitely a hidden Gem. And honestly I was blown away by the service provided, staff were super friendly and the food was incredible. I look forward to my next visit and would 100% recommend this fabulous restaurant if you're looking for a Thai cuisine.

Best rendang I’ve had outside of Indonesia! The papaya salad starter with pomegranate and orange was very refreshing too. Very prompt and friendly service. A real treat.

We’ve eaten in various Thai restaurants in Bangkok and UK and hand on heart can say this is the BEST! We found this restaurant by chance doing a Google search and are so glad we did! The food is phenomenal and the prawns are enormous. The sauces are to die for, all round fantastic. The restaurant has an authentic vibe, no pretentiousness, great service and very clean. Need to go back soon for our Champor Champor fix!

We just came back from Champor Champor, and as always, the food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the rendang beef—it's very tasty, and I absolutely love it. It's the best Thai restaurant around London Bridge. We've visited many times, and each time we return with the same pleasure. The atmosphere is nice, and the food is lovely.

A great find round the corner from the Shard. Going to Champor Champor is a terrific experience. The decor is great and sets the atmosphere. Staff are friendly and service is very good. They have an impressive menu of Asian cuisine that is cooked to a very high standard. Dishes look great and taste great. I have been several times and the quality has been very good every time.

Nothing to hate on this place... Wonderful service and even better food.

Really beautiful food! Lots of vegan options too. Very busy and rightly so. Book in advance! Friendly staff. Lovely presentation of food. Not very accessible, as narrow doorway and lots of tables in an unusual shaped space, making you filter between chairs through the restaurant. Can't wait to go again and try other dishes

this is my jam, i always have great experiences when i eat here. the food is flavoursome and the service is excellent. they also do a set menu for lunch which is great value. a special thank you to sutee, an amazing human that takes great pride in what he does especially the fresh pineapple mint iced tea he so lovingly prepares - AH-MA-ZING!!!

Pad Thai is very flavorful and tasty like Thailand. I always eat here every time I come to London. Very close to London Bridge Station.

This restaurant was recommended by my brother, so we took our friends for lunch. The food was excellent and well presented . The decor was impressively exotic and reminded us of our travels to Thailand and Malaysia . Staff were attentive and friendly and when we unexpectedly had a toddler with us, it was no problem for them to provide a high chair and interact playfully with 18 month old. The location is only a short walk from London Bridge station yet it is peaceful ( we went on Sunday) . We were extremely impressed and will definitely go back there and would highly recommend it!

We had lunch here, food is always fantastic.

The best Thai fusion food in London. Tasted like original food especially Pad Cha. It’s spicy and delicious. Dessert is great too. Loved it.

sunday night Business is very good We didn't make a reservation. Fortunately, there was still room for dinner. The green curry shrimp we ordered was very big. The green curry was sweet and not spicy at all. Green papaya is mixed with plum juice, and there are fried tofu and guava on the side. The hot and sour soup is very tasty.

The best Thai I ever tasted.Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

The best Thai restaurant in the UK. It’s very authentic and have a feeling of being in Thailand itself. Would definitely recommend to all.

Calamari - delicious and fresh. I’m 99% sure it’s not frozen. Beef rendang was super tender. My gf’s masala was apparently delicious too. Will definitely be back

Amazing dinner and venue location so near London Bridge station Do come!

Our third visit here and it didn't disappoint. A very interesting mix of Asian fusion dishes, busy but intimate atmosphere and efficient service. Prices seem to have gone up quite a lot since our last visit, but then that's probably the same story for most popular places

Had a great experience in Champor Champor restaurant ! The Thai food was amazing, especially the lamb shank with its peanut sauce ! The service was really quick, we barely had to wait in between each dish ! Was really impressed !

The food was excellent. I didn't know that Thai Fusion could have a taste like this. I recommend the Pad Thai.

Excellent place for authentic Thai near london bridge. The staff are super friendly and the service on point. The food is typical Thai - flavourful. Ambience is quaint.

Really tolerant and efficient staff with our unruly group. Delicious and beautifully presented food.

This was without doubt some of the best thai / Malaysian food I've had for a very long time. Interesting Fusion menu amazing service. Great cocktails. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

Tasty food but a bit salty and not practically plated (curry on a plate?) Staff attentive and nice Speedy food service Only qualm is the layout as felt a bit on top of other tables and was right by the food delivery system so quite noisy

I was surprised by the rich flavour of these dishes. They were perfectly balanced and well cooked.

Champor champor promises a fusion of Thai and Malay flavors, but the execution felt more like experimentation gone wrong and a complete fusion fail. Dishes lacked the flavours you'd expect from either cuisine. My banana curry was so bland and tasteless that the accompanying coconut rice was the only flavour I could get out of the dish. The black rice pudding with mango ice cream was also a let down. The ice cream didn’t seem to have any flavour at all and was definitely not mango flavoured. The rice pudding was ok but you can definitely get a lot better out there for a less steep price. In general, prices were quite high for the quality of the food and the type of establishment. However, staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a charming atmosphere with its eclectic mix of decor. But if you’re looking for a truly delicious Thai or Malay meal, this probably isn’t the place and I can give you a list of better places to go in London.

Please don’t waste your money and time by going by the reviews of this place. Honestly we felt cheated. This place is all about presentations, let it be food or interiors. the food is totally average, and not worth what you pay for it. We ordered three dishes. The prawns pad Thai was horribly, goopy and very sweet with no fresh condiments. Also they don’t have any other option for pad Thai than a fancy prawn one. The soft shell crab fried was totally tasteless. Jasmine rice was below average, came in a packet which was surprising. we did not dare order anything else. However, the service was quick and apologetic when we expressed our disappointment. We will never recommend this place to anyone. Money spent £25 per person for lunch.

Great little Thai place nestled behind London Bridge station. Fast service tasty food and a decent amount of vegan options.

The place is unmatched for their cuisine and service. The staff were available to us throughout our time in the restaurant. The food and drinks were flowing. 10/10 service

The food was great as it always is. The service was good as well. We had been given the private dining room downstairs, which had a swing in it of all things.

Astonishingly packed for really really really bang average food and inept service, two stars because I know they were trying but good Lord, I’d rather be waited on by my brother’s kids.

Nice place. Food was rather pricey and it seemed to have lost its authenticity (I have eaten here before a few times) the service was ok, but we did find ourselves having wrong dishes delivered and having to chase for service.

Been here several times and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. There was a mix up with the order and a completely wrong meal arrived and our bill had an extra meal added to it. However, despite this, the staff dealt with the errors quickly and with smiles and apologies so it hasn’t put us off coming back.

What a find !! Our first visit to the restaurant and what a delight. Scallops cooked to perfection with a mixture of flavours that left the taste buds whirling!! And that was just the starter !! A real treat food service wonderful. At a reasonable price. Thank you.!

Delicious modern fusion Thai, Malaysian & modern mix. A bit pricey.

Thank you so much to Bee and all the staff at Champor. Food was incredible as always - the Green thai curry is a must try! The prawn pad thai was amazing too. Can’t wait to book again - thanks so much!

Full is anazing. One of London's best kept secret. Service is ok. The place is a bit noisy. All and all it's excellent.

Food was pretty bad - a green curry full of sugar, but chilli for my guest. A seafood dish for me with masses of chili in the sauce that totally overpowered the dish. Serving staff were inept and couldn't answer basic questions about the menu or pour wine without it landing either on the table on on my lap. Very pricy for the bad experience. The decor isn't bad though. Avoid.

Meh. V average Southeast Asian food at high prices. Beef rendang came swimming in gravy - it should be a dry curry, with the sauce reduced to a glaze. Pan-fried baby squid came swimming in a glutinous sweet sauce. At lower prices it would have been three stars but for the money it needs to be *much* better than this.

Haven't had a very good prawn in London, this was a very good one. The taste was very Thai, just a little bit salty. The lamb was great too.

Super delicious food - hot and very varied. Lovely atmosphere. Portions are HUGE, so bear this in mind. Extremely busy on a Tuesday night. Will definitely return

Great food, great wine and brilliant service. Atmosphere was still great even on a Monday!

Great food, great wine and brilliant service. The atmosphere was fun and the place was packed out, even on a Monday which is very rare (but a good sign)

This place has been a gem for years. Hadn't been for a while and glad to say it's still a gem. The river prawns are like lobsters, service so friendly and good value for the high quality of the food. Gorgeous place

Below average Thai food, wild mushroom starter was poor,as was the prawn starter, three of us had the red snapper it was over cooked probably frozen, on a fairly hot sauce not great.

Would leave an extra star if I could. Staff is super sweet and the food is to die for. From the incredible okra and wild mushrooms to the mains (my party had land sea and farm), to sides - we are in awe. The mains took a bit to be ready but were worth every second of waiting. Can’t recommend enough.

We had a nice lunch at Champor Champor on Sunday. Super convenient location to London Bridge Station, colorful fun interior, great warm service, would have given a higher review but I wasn’t that impressed with the food I ordered though I’ll happily go back and try again. We had the banana bread, the spicy mango salad with tofu, the vegan green curry (I’m not vegan but I ordered this thinking it sounded really good. It was fine, but very bland), and the Pad Thai with King River Prawns (huge!). Nice to see some sake on the menu that paired well with the spice.

Absolutely love this place, the food was delicious and wonderful server Fanta was of excellence

A vibrant little place is full of colours. I ordered Tom yam soup and Thai green curry. It was amazing; I could not stop myself from eating. That soup tasted like when we visited my friend Nan, and she cooked for us. The curry was interestingly green, but the taste was very nice. I cannot comment on lavatories as I did not manage to visit them.

Champor Champor is truly a hidden gem! This is so close to the London Bridge Station that it makes commute to the restaurant really simple. My friends and I absolutely devoured the dishes we were served. For starters we ordered the below two dishes and it was just so delicious. 1. Okra with roasted young green chilli chutney (vegan) £8.95 2. Green papaya, crispy tofu, pomegranate Somtam, Roasted cashew nuts (vegan) £9.50 For mains we ordered the below three dishes- The flavours were so rich. It seemed as though it was all made with a lot of passion. We absolutely licked our bowls clean. I was totally mesmerised. Also for a Tuesday, the restaurant was packed so booking early is surely advisable. They even had a wide selection of drinks. We loved this place so much that we are sure to come back here. ❤️ Our order for mains included - 1. Baked fresh shitake mushroom, potato edamame dumpling, Szechuan peppercorn sauce, pak choi & toasted pine nuts (vegan) £17.50 2. Spicy yellow turmeric young banana curry (vegan) £17.50 3. Grilled tofu & butternut squash green curry, steamed asparagus, basil oil (vegan) £18.25 Amazing staff- super polite and helpful. Thank you for the incredible experience.

Great, food was amazing, staff was friendly. I would go back (Might he slightly overpriced)

Went as a surprise for my birthday. Food was INCREDIBLE! People were talking about it for days afterwards. Well worth a visit

Gorgeous food and a lovely setting. I've given it four stars only as although the food was great, we were disappointed to not be able to buy a glass of sparkling wine. Only by the bottle.

Delicious food. Great ambience.

Great find, just facing the London Bridge train station (shard side) very authentic and easy going. Best to book ahead. Quick and friendly service. Love the giant river prawns in black pepper sauce, beef rendang wasn't too spicy either. They greet you with homemade banana bread and some other all bites. Really nice will return!

Brilliant food, higher quality than your regular Thai restaurants. The service is kind and professional. We loved it

Disappointed Thai restaurant. I would not call it Thai food. 😅 I don’t even where to start. Green curry is not Thai Green curry. No spice, no herbs and extremely sweet. King prawn pad Thai for £20 and the sauce is definitely not pad Thai sauce and prawn tasteless ( felt like frozen for ages). Papaya salad is ok but again no fish sauce in it. Tom yum soup is average. If you want Thai food, I’d recommended you to go to authentic Thai restaurant. 😅 the only good thing is the staff is very friendly.

Decent and different food. I will be going back to try more! 😇

Very friendly service and authentic super tasty food. Will definitely be going back

Interior is interesting and cozy, service friendly and prompt. Not cheap but large portions. We had the chicken and tofu/squash green curries and both were gorgeous. Also, very conveniently close to London Bridge station but away from the main drag. Will definitely return. Oh, yes, and the washrooms smell lovely.

Excellent food and friendly service. I had massaman chicken curry and we shared a creme brûlée. Everything was really tasty and high quality. I will definitely be back to this restaurant.

I was recommended this restaurant and I certainly was not let down.. the food presentation was excellent and food was simply delicious.. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone as you won't be disappointed. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Went there yesterday 09/02/2024, absolutely delicious food, delightful place, and attentive staff, not a place to miss out on, enjoy 😉

Large portions! Pad thai and the stir fry mushroom were great

Great pan-Asian restaurant. Quirky decor. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced. I've been a regular for the past 20 years which says it all :-)

Quite honestly the best Malaysian food I've ever eaten.

This is a neighbourhood restaurant for me and the people who work here are really lovely and helpful. There was complimentary banana bread and a spoon of fruit salad to start (a bit off starting with something sweet but we rolled with it). There are plenty of mainstay Thai dishes but we decided to try a different dish this time around. The okra with roasted young green chilli chutney was delicious. For our mains, we ordered the pan fried red snapper with Malaysian sambal sauce. The fish was delicious but the accompanying squid ink linguini felt out of place and would have been nicer served with rice. We also had the beef rendang (tender meat and generous portion) with coconut rice. All in all, nice food and generous portions but it would be nicer if some of the dishes had not been Westernised. Bookings definitely recommended.

Great place right next to London Bridge Station. We went for a Saturday lunch. Menu was good and decently priced. The food was fresh and tasted great. I had the Thai green curry and crab. Will go back.

Really good food and very nice place. I went for the king prawn in green curry, highly recommended.

Tres bon restaurant Accueille sympa et chaleureux. La nourriture est excellente. Les desserts fabuleux, émerveillé à chaque fois

Excellent! One of my favorite restaurants in London! This was my second visit, and once again, they exceeded my expectations. Always delicious, with outstanding service. The atmosphere is lovely, making it perfect for a date, or with friends or family. Their king prawn Pad Thai is exceptional – the prawn size is unbeatable for the price! Papaya salad was a bit too spicy for me, so I asked to make it less spicy and it was perfect 👌They also have vegan options and Tofu green curry was delicious too! Can’t wait to come back again!!!

The food here is delicious. I got the green curry prawns with side rice and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. The dessert was also so good! The staff is very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. Only minor complaint is that the chocolate and chilli cheesecake had almost no chili at all!

Hands down one of the best Thai Restaurants i’ve been to in London. Highly recommend! Super friendly staff, quick service, delicious food and definitely worth every penny! Great value for money.

I recently dined at Champor-Champor for a straightforward evening out. While the overall food experience was good, I found the green Thai curry with prawns a bit too sweet, and the fusion of Thai and Malay elements seemed to compromise authenticity. Personal preferences may vary, but I believe sticking to a specific cuisine style enhances the dining experience. Despite not meeting my expectations, I acknowledge that others might still appreciate the restaurant's offerings.

Very disappointing. The music was intrusive, and despite asking for it to be turned down, it didn’t suit us for our 80+ year old mum’s birthday. We left before starters and went along road to the very cool and authentic Andanza tapas restaurant and had a much better experience.

What a beautiful place. Beef rendang was out of this world. Sutee the manager was so special. I want to come at least once a week. Thanks so much. A wonderful find.

Had severe stomach ache and vomiting after having beef rendang on 22nd December for dinner here. All items we ordered were abysmal except for the fresh lime soda drink which really tasted fresh. Food is definitely microwaved here without doubt. The table next to us found their food abysmal as well and let the waitress know while paying- so we werent alone in thinking the same. Interesting decor and kind waiting staff though. UPDATE- Just found out that the food hygiene rating of this place is 4 (inspected in 2019) which worries me. Note to self- check food hygiene rating before visiting restaurants.

Visited on a Friday night with friends, early booking. Was very impressed. Quick service and really enjoyed the food. The calamari starter and the duck roti were lovely. For main I had king prawn with black pepper sauce and sticky rice. Staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was good. One downside only 1 toilet in the whole place.

My husband and I went there in the beginning of this month, I usually order green curry and Pad thai my husband had beef rendang , but for a changed I ordered beef rendang as well this time, i must say it was so tasty and herby. Good service. I highly recommended.

Had an amazing pre xmas evening at this chic Thai venue just minutes away from London Bridge. Large party of 13 were catered for in a private room. From the start we were loked after amazingly well. Service was courteous and efficient. A party of 13 can get loud at times but we were always allowed to mingle and partake in the spirit of christmas. Food was absolutely amazing with the choices having been made beforehand. All in all a must if you are in the area and like thai food.

A great little restaurant. Lovely Thai/Malay fusion food served by helpful and friendly staff.

Probably the best Thai /Malaysian restaurant I've been to in London. Very friendly service. We had a team dinner here and almost all the dishes very tasty and good quantity. I would definitely recommend thjs place

I had the pleasure of attending again (I hadn't been for a few years because of Covid - not by choice) for our work Christmas Party dinner, the food is fantastic and is still as fantastic as ever. The staff were extremely friendly, the food was fantastic. I had the Shredded Duck to start and the Beef rendang for main, my colleagues had different options on the menu and everyone kept saying throughout the evening how much they enjoyed their meal! Will definitely be returning and would recommend to all.

A brilliant restaurant! The staff were incredibly attentive, the food was amazing (It was a quick service, I really recommend the crispy calamari!) And the setting was lovely. I'd definitely come here again! Update: I had my birthday dinner here, we booked out the private dining area. As expected the staff and the food were absolutely fantastic. This place really is a hidden gem. Honestly some of the best food I've tasted in London with some of the most attentive staff!

Best meal I had in London EVER 10/10

Great food fusion and a lively atmosphere

Friendly and warm service. Fusion Asian food

A takeaway lunch from here, ready very quickly and good value The green curry was the best I have ever had by far, the flavours were immense and very good quality ingredients I wish I lived closer so I could visit all of the time The staff were really friendly when I collected the food as well

It is out of my expedition. First I must credit to the service team. All members are friendly, sincere, professional. They communicate very well with English and give lots of the information of the dishes they served. They are caring and efficient, knowing that we are on train schedule, the manager initiate to speed up the delivery of food to us 😍 how care and concern they are. They are amazing, always have a smiling face even full house in the restaurant 👍🏻 seems they are used to such scene 😆 Food style, is Thai and Malaysian fusion. If you want more spicier you can request to the chief. I would like to say the food is amazingly delicious, yummy ! Definitely must visit again and again, especially it is so near London bridge station. Recommend green curry, pak Thai, beef salad, coconut rice,

Lovely Thai restaurant. We snagged the cozy romantic two person table on the raised platform and were delighted. Staff were attentive and caring. Food came quickly. Food is Thai and Malay. The green curry sauce is divine. Several vegan/vegetarian options. Only disappointment was the fresh lemon grass tea wasn’t fresh but a tea bag. We would happily dine here again.

What a wonderful cute and cozy restaurant. Very fast service and very good quality of food. Would go back!

Went as group of 6 friends and were offered the private room downstairs, which was perfect for us. Very good friendly and attentive service and excellent food. Not cheapest but worth it.

Lovely restaurant. A bit quirky. Very very good food and friendly service. Nice to avoid chains in this area.

Amazing food and great service. Thank you.

Great food and very close to London Bridge Station. Food comes quickly, so it is ideal for a pre theatre meal if going to Bridge Theatre. Soft crab starter was just like I had in Japan.

Lively atmosphere, buzzy, tables are a bit cramped together. Meals arrive very quickly. Most plates were very good but they were all much too large - the starters, particularly the duck satay, could have served as a main course quite easily. The beef rendang would have fed two people, albeit both plates were really good. The vegetarian laksa was less successful, had a large quantity of thick udon noodles where rice noodles would have been better. There were some really odd things on the menu given it is supposed to be Thai/Malay cuisine. There were a couple of pasta dishes, a goats cheese course and also one with halloumi. We thought these were very odd and not what we were expecting. It wasn’t a massive menu so it seemed strange to have these. That aside, because the portion size was so huge we wasted a fair amount on our table, would have liked to have known about this as we would have ordered two starters or shared a main plate between two. It’s always good to try somewhere new although am not entirely sure I would go back.

Menjar bonissim, bastantes opcions veganes molt sabroses. El servei és amable i efectiu.

We went there for our 5 year anniversary and the experience really great. The staff provided impeccable service and care about even smaller things. We were also given the special table without specifically asking for one and without needing to pay for 3 courses. The atmosphere also is very cosy and stylish. The food was absolutely great and the menu options are quite unique. The only negative was in relation to the squid ink linguini, as it was quite strong in aniseed flavour even if the menu does not mention that. For a flavour like that, it should be mentioned as your are either a lover or a hater of this flavour so is good to know. Other than that the food was amazing and my lamb shank extremely tender! Definitely recommended, especially for any special occasions. It might be on the pricier side but the service you get definitely makes it worth it!

Excellent service. Very attentive and quick, but without being rushed, with all the plates arriving at the right time. Went there for lunch and had a few dishes to share. The softshell crab was well fried, but could have had a bit of acid and seasoning. The papaya salad was good, but also needed a bit of seasoning. The banana bread is well made, but it's a bit too sweet for a starter, even with the acompanying dip. The duck roti raps were delicious and not heavy at all, but fell apart pretty quickly. For the main, we got the lamb braised in blue Sumatra coffee, which was fall-off-the-bone tender. The coffee flavor was delicate, just the right amount. All in all I would love to go there again and try some of their other dishes. Great if you're vegetarian or vegan. Many of the dishes are (or can be made) gluten free as well.

Amazing place to eat. Food is excellent. Been there many times, with different friends, always tried different dishes. Never ever disappointed. Brilliant
