Krua by Nathong in City of London, Westminster

I don't remember ever having had such a bad meal in London before. Cold room: I had to ask to turn on the radiators. Poor food and minimal service. No tablecloth or placemat under the plates, which I can't stand, totally unhygienic. Bad dishes. Inedible. Coconut milk non-existent or diluted with water. Customers considered as ATMs from which to withdraw money and nothing else. Don't set foot there!

We had our team dinner here. Krua were really helpful in accommodating additional guests and all requirements. Most importantly great food too!

the best thai restaurant in London. Fried pork belly and Phad thai was very good!

If you are wandering around St. Paul and unsure what to have, Krua (Thai restaurant) could be one of the safe option!! We had green curry and were surprised at how soft and tasty the chicken was, and the rice was also full of flavour! However, was a bit disappointed with the pad thai, just a bit below average, and I didn’t feel like a lot was in the Pad Thai, but the pork belly was really nicely cooked!!

The food was enjoyable. I found the Beef Massaman curry the meat was a bit tough but the flavour in the curry was lovely. The Crying Tiger was also very chewy so was disappointing. The waitering staffs were friendly but overall I wasn’t impressed with the food and won’t be returning.

Good food, even ordered more because it tasted so good!

Such lovely staff. We had a great experience at Krua. The team navigated our group of 15 with ease and the food was faultless. Thank you so much for hosting us 💗

Green curry was really tasty! Service so friendly too!

Jeen is an amazing server! Great food, great ambiance!

The food was delicious and a bottle of Rioja complemented everything to our delight!

A great address to recommend in the St Paul district. The welcome from the team is warm and friendly, the food is excellent (special mention to the beef salad, incredible!). We recommend 100%. THANKS! 💙

The best Thai food by far,amazing service,

Matheus, elite bar tender. Top top bloke. He’s at the peak of his powers.

The highlight of the meal was the Pad Kra Pao—perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of heat, and bursting with fresh basil and chili flavuors. The whole seabass in fish sauce was another standout, with crispy skin and tender, flaky meat, complemented by the sauce’s delightful balance of sweet and salty. To finish, the sticky rice with mango was heavenly, with the rice cooked to perfection and the mango ripe and juicy. The care and passion the family puts into their cooking really shines through in every dish. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine!

Amazing meal will definitely go again

Favourite Thai Restaurant in London! Nutchaya (Manager) is super friendly and kind! Food is amazing! They also have karaoke rooms downstairs!

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Thank you so much!

Really good food, including the presentation. Very friendly people and the mango and sticky rice was to die for! We all really enjoyed our meals and would come again.

I stumbled upon this restaurant during my travels and was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the food. After a long hard working day, we were starving, and the dishes truly exceeded our expectations! We definitely let our eyes be bigger than our stomachs and ordered more than we could handle, but the flavors were so delightful that we couldn’t resist finishing everything—just take a look at the photos! The pad Thai was outstanding, and the salmon with sweet fish sauce was a highlight as well. We also had the chance to try the northern Thai sausage, which I had heard about but was unable to find elsewhere. It was a real treat! The staff were fantastic and incredibly accommodating, especially considering they were handling a large, demanding group from a university during our visit. Despite the busy atmosphere, our food arrived on time, and the service was attentive throughout. A standout was Nutchaya, who took excellent care of us and ensured we had everything we needed promptly. My only regret is not being able to try out the karaoke rooms located downstairs. The group booking really made the most of it, and it sounded like they were having an absolute blast. That’s definitely a reason for me to return! 10/10 recommend this spot for individual and group dining!

Great atmosphere and we were extremely well looked after by very friendly staff. Delicious food and thank you

Top service, took us even after the last service Mattheus at the service is very friendly and his team too. Very good Thai Pat.

I knew this was going wrong when the staff struggled to find a table in an empty restaurant. The first request for a starter for three was met with ‘ I need to speak to my manager’. Downhill from there. A request for one of the menu salads with salmon was met with ‘ it’s not on the menu so we can’t do it’. The thai salad ordered consisted of over cooked salmon , iceberg lettuce and not much else. Sent it back. ‘ my manager said we will not charge you for that’ Really? Ordered another dish. No cutlery and ate it with the remaining spoon. And was charged a service charge. Guests present so didn’t argue. Avoid

Delicious foods and wonderful service. Will be back again. Thank you 🙏🏼

Probably the first time my friend and I have ever asked for food to be sent back. We came here because of the supposed high reviews- there is simply no way all the reviews are real. The rice came in a plastic bag- think microwaved Uncle Ben rice. The mixed platter starter was okay, but similar to what you'd receive in a cheap local takeaway. The quality of the Crying Tiger (beef steak) was dire- very dry and chewy despite asking for medium-rare. My friend's Crispy salmon dish fish was not fresh and even worse, smelt awful.

Warm service and efficient. Reasonable price. Authentic Thai food taste with details. Love ton yum soup, pork belly and Pad Thai.

Very delicious and well presented food

Amazing Thai food in London. The Laab and Papaya salads were particularly tasty and a good level of spice. Thanks!

Decent! Ordered lots of salads and rice. They kave a karaoke room downstairs that you can book out!

Not many East Asian eating here already should have given me a good indication. The food was just okay, nothing special and far from authentic. We came because of the location.

The Noodle were not good: broken and sticky. The 1st one was too sweet but sour. The prawn was okay but small. The fried rice was too spicy.

It was an office lunch, so it was nice to have a quick bite. The food was served quite quick. I asked for extra spicy as I love spicy food. So the chef made according to my liking 👍

The vegan food was fab!! Would deffo reccomend

Was lured to the restaurant by its relatively high rating as we were in the area. However, food quality was not high. We were completely underwhelmed. Possibly one of the most disappointing Thai restaurants in the capital. Of all the dishes, Green curry was the worst. It was just a few slices of thin beef swimming in thin broth. The other dishes were hardly exciting either. There’s definitely no presentation to speak of.

I liked it, I ordered the curry with meat and a beer, it was very delicious.

We went as part of a large group. The food was lovely however the service was very slow. There did not seem to be any real reason for the slow pace, it was not particularly busy. I will try again on another day as the ambience and food was worth it.

Excellent staff service and fabulous food.

Came here for dinner after visiting St. Paul’s. Great food and atmosphere even on a Monday night. Lovely family run business.

Honestly the best thai restaurant ever ! Service is also exceptional :)

Very loud, understaffed and overpriced food that is not very good. Hair found in food, costs $1 for a box to pack food and chicken is rubbery and chewey.

The food was absolutely fantastic. Great location and nice air conditioned space. Will be back soon.

Service was quick and meals tasty. Reasonably priced, they had a 10% discount on cash payment.

Best thai restaurant in London! tasty!

My best experience of Thai food in London so far, ordered like six starters and five mains, all amazing stuff.

High recommended and best Thai in London

Super delicious food, best Thai food in London

Very delicious!! Highly recommended

The food was soooo good! Really nice rich authentic flavours. Its really good value for money especially for the location. The restaurant was super clean too with clean toilets. Good friendly staff. 🥰🥰

Outstanding, Nutchaya deserves a raise!

Such a lovely place!! The food is authentic and the service is amazing! Truly such a great place ♥️

Terrible service. The website allowed me book for 2.15 pm. On the day, I got a phone call two hours before my booking saying the kitchen closes at 2pm and I have to come before 2pm. I had invited someone for her 30th birthday celebration and they only mentioned two hours before the booking.

First visit and we enjoyed the mains. Beware, however, the desserts are not so good and 2 are pictued on the wall with their prices around £5 but when the bill arrived were nearly twice this. Apparently these are old pics and prices! Er, perhaps take them down then...?

Food with Thai flavors. Homemade Isaan sausage is very delicious. All Thai employees are lovely. The atmosphere is very friendly.

6 of us came to the restaurant for dinner and food was amazing! The service was great and we really enjoyed. Would highly recommend.

Great experience we came early so wasnt busy but staff were great and very accommodating!

The food is very delicious and the service is very good 👍

Food always consistently great with a very attentative service.

Cosy Thai restaurant tucked away on a beautiful side street. Went for dinner with a few friends. The food was delicious and very reasonable price. The staff were lovely and didn’t rush us to leave. Will definitely be coming back!

Nice location near St Paul’s for classic Thai food. Friendly attentive staff and the food was tasty.

Food was very good and arrived quite fast. However, I had made a reservation for 6.30pm. At 7.10pm we ask to order dessert and the waiter come to us saying we have to leave the table by 7.30 cause they need it for another reservation. Really?! Since when you book a table in advance and you only get it for 60 minutes? Not the finest service. It's a shame cause the food was nice. But 1 star for the service.

Amazing restaurant and staff! The food here is 10/10 following by such great service I definitely recommend to anyone I can’t stop coming here!

I booked this for a team dinner and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, service friendly and very reasonably priced.

We've just had a lovely time with our large group. Thanks for the hospitality, great food and ambiance!

Delicious food, fast and very friendly service! Top location!

Had my birthday dinner/party here and the food and service were amazing. Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks they ordered. We later on went downstairs for karaoke and had a lot of fun. Everything was well organized and we had a great time.

Food was amazing. Best Thai food I’ve ever eaten in England!

Amazing food, clean lovely staff and the food is amazing really tasty. Best Thai food in England..... really worth a visit.

Family run Thai restaurant with authentic and refreshing Thai food. Incredible as always, my go-to Thai restaurant! - If you're going to pick anywhere, here's the place to go.

Nous avons tellement aimé que nous y sommes retournés une deuxième fois lors de notre séjour à Londres. La cuisine est vraiment très bonne et le personnel très sympathique. Point négatif: c’est assez bruyant. Pensez à réserver car il y a souvent du monde!

Normally, each trip, we eat at least one Thai meal. I have eaten in many countries. Thai food from abroad can be said to be edible and not at all like our home. But this restaurant is ok. Tastes like Thailand. Delicious. I recommend the Crying Tiger. It's awesome!! Good seats, good restrooms, the size of the shop is worth trying and accepting tours. But I've been on a tour and I don't know what to eat. It's worth bringing here.

Krua by Nathong restaurant is a culinary gem that deserves to be experienced by all. Its authentic flavors, vibrant ambiance, and impeccable service create an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a seasoned Thai food enthusiast or a first-time explorer, this restaurant will leave you craving for more. Highly recommended!

Service is good, the food overall is good but I won’t say this is authentic Thai food. I am a big fun of tom yum soup and I ordered one, the taste was not even close to what I had in Thailand.

Had the absolute best time ever doing karaoke on the room downstairs! Such a great choice of songs for everyone in our group to choose from, lovely staff and overall a great atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back again next time!!

Best beef salad I have eaten in Asian restaurants in Europe. I have returned several times

Brilliant, brilliant, just brilliant such wonderful food, such wonderful service, such a wonderful place definitely recommend and was lovely

great dishes and great people ! awesome experience

Excellent customer service and food. A little pricier than expected for me but friendliness of the warm staff more than covered for that. The vegetables were very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend

Very delicious. Families welcome.

Brilliant is the word. We had Pad Thai noodles, Thai curry and Salads. The owner is very nice and she is very passionate about the food. A must visit place for the price they are offering

i had walked past this place earlier in the evening and decided to pop in about 8.30 to give it a try. I was greeted at the door and asked if i wanted a table but i opted for a takeaway option. It was a monday evening and not very busy but the staff were attentive and service was nice and quick. I wasnt offered a drink whilst i waited but i didnt realise it was going to be as quick as it was so that was probably a good thing. I went for the grilled chicken Thai Green Curry from the chefs special option. It was a nice meal. A takeaway version may never do a restaurant full justice and i will try and revisit for a sit down meal soon

The best Thai food I have ever had in London! Fresh and tasty, well balanced spices and textures. Calm athnosphere. You can have a conversation without raising your voice

I spent my Birthday here with a party of 15 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Following a lovely meal we spent the evening downstairs and had a great time in their karaoke room for two hours. Krua has great spaces to rent for special occasions and I am really glad I booked here. Great service and friendly staff- would highly recommend.

My friends and I had an amazing night of karaoke, the staff and service were very exceptional and friendly. Thank you so much for such an amazing night!

Food was ok but let's put it this way - I had a starter, main and a beer, paid £31.50 and left the place starving. The portion size was a joke and I did ask in all honesty whether they mistakenly brought another starter when the main arrived. Not coming back

hearty plates, friendly service.. Thanks Tang..

Good food, definitely will be back if in the area!

Very tasty Thai food is complemented by exceptional service attention and drinks.

High quality, well-priced Thai restaurant in the little lanes south of St Paul's. Well worth the extra 2 minutes it will take you to walk down from the chain restaurants on Ludgate Hill

Fabulous meal in this cosy little restaurant. Great vibe, great service and amazing value. Will definitely be back.would highly recommend to try out.

Really delicious authentic Thai food at a reasonable price.

Lovely little restaurant in hidden away back street! The staff were great and the food was delicious & fresh. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely dinner here. It’s a small restaurant in a quiet back street. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the food was delicious and fresh.

very good restaurant. i recommend

Very nice food and service. This restaurant is very recommended and will come back later for sure.

Very good place love it. I recommend.

The staff were lovely, the atmosphere is nice and the restaurant is clean. The food was very disappointing. I had the butterfly prawns which were heavily breaded and smothered in mayo. It was extremely oily and had no taste. Also had the pad see ew which again was extremely oily and lacked flavour. I was really expecting so much more.

Food was ok. Service wasn’t great. Noisy. A bit disappointed

Ideal for decent Thai food either homely atmosphere. We went for a team lunch and found the place ideal.

The food here was pretty good, although the sauce levels were lower than I'd expect from Thai food. But it was tasty, and the service was pretty good.

Food is average, even below average. The most bland Pad Thai that I’ve ever had, which could be good for health, lol…. Over cooked Chicken Satay, it’s dry. Take away box is 1 pound per box. I’m from the US and new to London, but it’s my first time heard about this. Restaurant is clean and spacial.

really tasty food and very attentive and friendly staff
