Oie Truly Thai in City of London, Westminster

Loved the Tom yum soup! Tasted authentic and a good portion and was packed for me almost instantly! Perfect place for a quick lunch grab

This place used to have some absolutely quality pad thai a few years ago but something has tragically changed. I've noticed this the past couple times I've been but today was the last straw. Noodles came out bland as, undercooked or worse -day old. The proprotion of vegetables has diminished, service size has shrunk and prices gone up. SAD

Store was friendly. But the pad thai was really bad. Noodles burnt.

Closest I've gotten to actual Thai food in London. Yes, it's spicy. Yes, it's supposed to be.

I come here often for lunch times and have been for years. Quick and friendly service. Pad Thai is tasty and decent portion.

Come here for takeaway lunch many times, they do an excellent pad Thai among other authentic Thai dishes - just under a tenner which is good value for the area and the portion size (bigger than the pic makes it look...)

I think the tofu pad Thai might be nice but it’s hard to tell because they dumped a load of shichimi seasoning on it without asking whether it was wanted. I ordered one of the few veggie (the menu is very chicken-heavy) non-spicy (most dishes are two chillies or above) things on the menu and have ended up with a dish that’s too spicy for me to enjoy.

Had lunch here today. Great place. Ordering can feel a little disorganised at times. A numbering system wouldn’t go a miss but to be honest the food comes out so quickly it’s not an issue. It’s all takeaway, no eating in. They do a strong range of Thai food. All the favourites which Uk people tend to like. I went for King Prawn Pad Thai. My colleague went for Massaman curry and it was “very good” but he said he would’ve liked a bit more curry to go with the rice. My portion was spot on. Mine tasted really great! Had a good level of spice. Was cooked through nicely and had good layers of texture throughout the dish. I paid just less than a tenner. Would and will definitely go again.

I asked for no chilli several times and was assured there will be no chilli in my food. Unfortunatelly my salad was full of chilli dressing. Prawn salad was basically lettuce with very little other indgredients and prawns were of very low quality, absolutely inadequate to price.

Don’t trust the price you see on the website. It is at least £3 more when you actually paying.

Very poor selection and quality of food

I had green Thai curry, the taste was ok but curry was too watery. Not sure if it is authentic- also wasn’t happy with the quality of food, it didn’t reflect the price.

I wish I had read the reviews before going in. I ordered a tofu pad thai, and for 9.24£ I can say I had the worst thai meal ever. Just like others said the noodles were under cooked and tasted like paper, no flavor whatsoever except they were dripping in a sad bath of oil and some over sweet sauce. Virtually none of the toppings that makes pad thai so full of flavour and texture, ie peanuts, chinese chives, coriander, bean sprouts and the sauce base is missing serious ingredients like tamarind sauce and shrimp paste. Calling themselves "truly thai" is insulting to thai food and customers. Truly.

Truly awful. I used to love it here. Today I visited for the first time in a few months and was shocked. The price hikes are astonishing but the food changes are the worst of it. The tofu was like bits of bread. The ingredients have definitely been downgraded and the chef must have changed. Tasteless, expensive, awful. I'm actually pleased as I won't be craving it any more. Grim.

Very very poor quality food, shouldn’t have returned after my first bad experience.

This place makes some awesome Thai food! When you go there sometimes the queue is outside the door. I've tried a lot of their dishes and I've been really pleased. When I don't know what to do for lunch I go there. The Massaman curry is one of their most popular dishes and there's a good reason for that.

I would recommend, - Tom Yum King prawns and Noodle - Ginger Chicken - if you cant eat spicy - Spicy red pork salad - Pad thai - Spicy King prawns salad The price is reasonable and great amount

I wouldn’t call it truly Thai as is missing most of the authenticity like bamboo shoots, eggplant, peppers having just carrots doesn’t make it authentic Thai

I just love going there for lunch. Don’t really get the bad reviews. Go there at lunchtime and the queue is till outside. The chicken rice ball salad is my favourite, really nice, spicy and tasty.

Awful, tasteless, expensive food. Definitely not a Pad Krapow.

One of the worst pad Thai’s I’ve had. The noodles were either undercooked or precooked (bad texture) and the chicken looked really unappetising. Wouldn’t go back.

It tasted very good but it’s also quite pricey so didn’t like that. Other than that I guess it was fine.

Really good lunch place! Love the massaman chicken curry!

I have been going there since they opened, as I like their food but some stuff really need to sort their attitude especially the one who was serving and the one who was taking orders today. not happy not going back again.

Very quick service and nice place to get lunch if you work nearby! Good authentic green curry!

One of the best Thai’s in London. Very generous portion sizes and not extortionately priced

Oie Thai is definitely worth checking out, it's a 'one off' not a chain or a franchise and you can immediately taste the difference. I've been a couple of times when I've been visiting London and each time it has tasted freshly made and lovingly crafted, not straight out of a pre-cooked packet. On my first visit I tried to the benchmark traditional Pad Thai and was not dissappointed, it tasted authentic and flavoursome, it easily hit the spot. On my next trip, I thought I'd try something different and went for a salad, again I had a very enjoyable tasty filling lunch. Overall, I'm pleased I found Oie Thai and I'm sure I'll be back again when I'm next in London.

Awful quality food. I ordered the pad krapow and quite easily say it’s the worst I’ve ever had. The cheapest chicken you could possibly buy, very dry. No flavour to it whatsoever. Lots of chilli and that’s about it. The typical western take on eastern food - “maybe if we cover it in chillis, it will hide the fact it’s the blandest food”. £7.50 for a portion which isn’t unreasonable in London. But not worth it, definitely give it a miss.

Delicious, great value for money.

It has been my favourite place for lunch since they re-open. As they said on the wall, the food is authentic and delicious! Green curry chicken rice always sold out; when I had a chance to get it, the curry seemed a bit oily and too spicy for me. But Tom Yum Noodle and Massaman Curry I have had for a few time, it tastes really good.

Avoid! Avoid big time! Disgusting food and customer service Bought lunch today, green chicken curry. The most disgusting food, very watery and full of carrots! Did I pay £7,50 for green curry or for boiled carrots!?. Even the supermarket ready made curry is better tasting than this. Very disappointed as I was thought I will be having the full flavours cooked by people that knowhow to do it. Went back to complain and to tell that I was not happy with the food but customer service in this place is 0 worst than food. Wil never return or buy from them again.

Fantastic thai food! Beef panaeng, Tom yum, you name it! They even cut you done fresh chili if you'd like a bit more of a kick.

Very good. Fresh. Well cooked. Decent value

Ordered King Prawn Pad Thai, what I got was greasy and nasty, I tried to persevere but only ate about a third of it!! which is not like me at all as I usually always finish my plate, would of taken it back but I didn't have the time and would be a hassle, think its just precooked old noodles and all the different elements shoved in a box and nuked in the microwave, half of it was hot and the other luke warm, maybe the thai curries would of been better but this was downright terrible, defiantly avoid the Pad Thai

Love this place their red curry of amazing. Unfortunately temporarily closed as of 5th Jan 2021.

I just love it. Great quality food and decent pricing. 100% raccomanded

Would give 1 star if i could. Disgusting microwaved food, and its super greasy. Food was served slightly hot on outside but inside was atrosciously COLD! Never will eat here ever again. So dissapointed.

Estoy tan enojado y molesto que siento la necesidad de escribir a esta crítica. . . NEGOCIO PERDIDO Entré a recoger un pollo al curry y arroz a la hora del almuerzo, y el chico detrás de mí recogió lo que parecía lo mismo. Cuando llegué al trabajo me di cuenta de que tenía el curry rojo de verduras, así que lo retiré para cambiarlo por el pollo. La chica que me sirvió fue muy grosera y comenzó a tratar el hecho de que todo fue mi culpa, ya que no especifiqué que era un curry massaman, etc. y cuesta más. Todo lo que quería era cambiar, ¡el costo adicional era de 20 p! ! ! ! ! Ella hizo tanto escándalo y fue tan grosera por un error genuino que realmente me molestó. En lugar de simplemente intercambiar, con todo este alboroto, puede imaginar cuál fue mi opinión para mis amigos y colegas en la oficina. En lugar de ahora solo perder un cliente, también han perdido a mis amigos y colegas. Todo para alguien con un servicio al cliente muy pobre.

Had a pad Thai. Was precooked. Ate about 3 mouthfuls as the noodles were so hard and cold I couldn’t eat anymore. Zero taste. Awful meal

This place is always busy during lunch, so I finally tried it. Is a bit pricey. I ordered a dish and literally 1 min later it was given to me. There was way to much rice and not enough chicken, Chicken looked processed and was dry.

This place used to be good now they have changed into a fast food chain. Pre prepared everything. Bought a satay chicken salad which, as a previous reviewer said is just some leaves and cucumber now (previously had peanuts, bean shouts coriander etc). Won’t be back.

Tuve un Chicken Pad Thai desde aquí para mi almuerzo, el personal era amable, la comida se preparó muy rápidamente y el Pad Thai estaba delicioso!

Creo que este es uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida rápida tailandesa en los que he estado en Londres. Para aquellos que esperan una auténtica comida tailandesa como la que has probado en Tailandia, olvídalo. He probado su comida para llevar de Masaman y Pad Thai, ambas son realmente buenas cuando se observa el precio y la eficiencia del personal. Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar para aquellos que quieran un almuerzo rápido en la ciudad.

Hot and cold selection with an emphasis on salads. Fresh food with very fast service Well worth a visit

Bought a satay chicken salad from this place and it was honestly the most underwhelming thing I've eaten in a long time. A thai salad should be fresh, complex and packed with flavour, not a few bits of overcooked chicken with a watery sauce over one unripe cherry tomato and some massive chunks of cucumber and lettuce. I hope they read this review and make some serious changes because 2 stars is actually very generous. Waste of £6.50!!

Beast from the East!!!!! Tasty but be wary of spice level

Visited with high hopes for a quick and tasty Pad Thai. On the plus side service was quick and staff were very friendly. Sadly that's where authentic Thai ended. Chicken was fatty thigh meat. Meal was lukewarm, bland and tasted like it has been sat around for too long. The noodles looked more like stodgy tagliatelle than authentic Thai noodles. Sorry to say I won't be back.

Terrible FOOD!!! This is barely a good, let alone THAI FOOD! Very watery bland curry with chunky bulk-cooked pieces of carrot, boiled chicken, (which gets dropped into the sauces later by the way!) and other large vegetables. A kid can cook better food than this, not mentioning the tasteless sticky and smashed jasmine rice served in this place. I tried both Masaman, and Green Chicken Curry and it was awful! Please avoid. I have eaten in Thailand and many other Thai places in City which are great and this food at OIE Thai is just disgusting! Just because you are selling food at an average price, it doesn't mean it should be so BAD! Very very unhappy experience, I hope the owners or people who run this place, sit down and try their food so they taste what a nightmare is being served here! Thai curry dishes need to be cooked with rich and creamy coconut milk!!! The watery bitter soups which you serve here and call them curry have nothing to do with Thai food!

One of the most flavoursome thai green chicken curry I've ever had! It reminded me of the 1st time I had this dish in Thailand! The rice ball was also extremely tasty. Tip: definitely try the thai green chicken curry and the rice bowl.

Ok, maybe not the healthiest salad. But definitely the BEST! I keep coming back here (mainly in their shop in the Arcade) sometimes even more than once a week and I always order the same dish: rice ball with chicken salad. The staff are extremely friendly, it's just a pleasant experience.

I come here for the salad for years, it is delicious and very authentic.

Efficient, friendly, aloy mak mak 😋

The Thai Green Curry is definitely not "Truly Thai" here. It's full of carrots and nothing else! Literally 3 ingredients: chicken, carrot and sauce. I've been to Thailand and never ever seen a green curry there with carrots in it! It's a shame because the curry itself is excellent, creamy and the perfect level of spicy. Good portion sizes too. But please improve your ingredients!

Best thai food. Green chicken curry :)

Decent food for lunch but is slightly expensive for what you get. However still better than similar shops e.g. wasabi and itsu

Ginger chicken v.good Clean tasting, decent quality

Well cooked but Carrots in Thai green curry does not make sense to me. A good bit of punch in the sauce. Peppers would make more sense than carrots. The runner beans were nice in the curry though. The fragent soup was pretty good as well.

They've got too busy and the quality has gone down substantially. Chicken curry more sauce than chicken, the boulder sized potato and carrot chunks are rock hard and the rice is not cooked at all, so check before you pour your £6.95 curry over rice which may leave the entire dish inedible.

Very happy to be able to review Oie with a 5 star review again. I previously posted that portion sized had shrunk, but went back last week and received a good sized portion that kept me going through the day. Thanks for fixing this :)

Get the Rice ball salad with red pork!

Went for a chicken Pad Thai, though the noodles tasted good, the chicken was horrible. The chicken was black, and all they added was bland diced chicken to the noodles. So not impressed!

Having been Thailand, these guys are really authentic. Love the spice!

Very delicious Thai food. Easy, fast, clean and healthy. The green curry isn't that spicy though.

Amazing vegetarian curry. Loved it. Also the salad is good.

Great tasting and filling food! Only downside is the queueing system which can become chaotic/confusing

Best Thai curries. Watchout if you're a curry fan. Rice Dishes don't have curry.

Awesome Thai food! Go for the spicy red pork salad. Not 5 stars as sometimes it takes ages for some rice dishes.

Unwillingly up sold a rice ball. Salad average. Untruly Thai.

very efficient service for such a tiny place!

Ridiculously tasty thai salads and very generous portions.. my favourite takeaway lunch spot

Greasy red Thai curry with fatty pork and no vegetables. Not the fresh Thai I was expecting

fresh and authentic. simply the best lunches in the city. genuinely addicted

You should definitely try the salads, you won't be disappointed, particularly the rice ball salads. The staff is also really welcoming !
