O's Thai Cafe in Haringey

I rarely leave reviews but the food I received from O’s Thai Cafe was so disappointing I had to write something. I ordered a Massaman Curry and coconut rice. The curry was watery, flavourless and contained a couple of bits of potato and no other veg. Totally lacklustre and felt like no effort at all was made in making it. I make this order whenever I get Thai food and this was easily the worst massaman curry I’ve had in London. Just nothing good to say about it at all. Thai curry’s are supposed to be full of flavour, and this had none. I wouldn’t be surprised if this came out of the microwave either. Then they charge you for the curry, and extra for the protein you choose, making it more expensive than most other local Thai places, and for lower quality food. Then to top it off the coconut rice didn’t have a hint of coconut in it, so you’re paying extra for what is in reality jasmine rice. If you want good Thai food that is full of flavour and feels like it’s made with care, based on my experience tonight, avoid O’s. It didn’t go in the bin as not to waste the food but it really was so bland I considered it.

The tempura was too soft and difficult to eat. The portions are quite small in general and the all the dishes with meat had only a few pieces in 😕 the mix starter very little... The gyoza were lovely

Unwilling to be flexible with food changes; when asked for a few vegetables or abit of salad instead of rice made me pay for a salad costing £5.50. The curry had very little chicken for the price. Overall not a great experience.

We always go into O’s to eat so it was lovely to try delivery. It’s just as fantastic as if we were sitting right there!

They were one person down but the service was slow, food was forgotten and to be honest when it came it wasn't that good by today's standards... I hope they bring it back up because every other time I have been here it was great. I would go again but my expectations have been lowered (I am putting it down to the unforeseen lack of staff)

Its a very beautiful place and the food is the best thai food i have ever had feels like home.

I had the green curry and steamed dumplings. 10/10 for both. My partner had the panang curry which was 11/10. Will be back soon for sure! Prices are good and staff are very friendly

A duck special of the day was served as a tiny portion, with little in it. Effectively a small, flat bowl of broth with some pieces of green pepper.

The food here is absolutely delicious! I can't wait to come again!

Amazing Thai food, really affordable! Great place to have lunch

Great food and very helpful with my dietary requirements

Pad thai was decent, pork a bit hard. The egg fried rice was delicious! Peanut sauce too. Not packaged nicely, not sure if it was the shop or the driver's fault, the pad that box was all squeezed and the peanut sauce half spilled. Other than that, the food was very tasty, I will order again.

Great care taken to provide friendly service & good food .

Food was delicious and service was just as good! The man serving me and my friend was lovely and made the experience excellent. Would definitely come back again for the delicious food and great atmosphere 😊 Had the pad kee mao with beef and the spice level was perfect and it was a hearty meal.

What a great place to eat , just walk in and if table there sit , great staff look after your need and very friendly, great food at a good price , and they do takeaway , good atmosphere too , will be back for more , phad Thai was great and tasty with the chilli on the side so you can spice up as you want . 😋

Always delicious! The weeping tiger and the massaman are the best! Always great service. One of the best restaurants in Crouch End. Not an option for people with celiac disease so can no longer come here.

Always so delicious, love coming here

Ticks all the boxes. Look no further if craving Thai food. Went with friends and we all enjoyed our food. I found the red curry delicious. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Will definitely visit again if i'm in the area. Its a lovely restaurant.

Absolutely lovely place would recommend to anyone

Scheduled for delivery for 7pm but didn't arrive until 7.51pm

another crouch end winner for us ,authentic Thai food friendly staff as well nice change from a Sunday roast

Dining at O’s Thai Cafe was a delightful experience. The Khao Pad Hai Yai stood out with its authentic taste. The prices are reasonable for the portion size. Would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for delicious Thai food in a comfortable setting.

I'm not one to leave reviews but my utter disappointment has driven me to do so. I'm not quite sure how that passes as Thai food. No flavour, severe lack of seasoning and no spice at all! It was so bland and did not taste anything remotely like authentic Thai food. I've had nicer microwave meals from Waitrose. Shockingly bad! Zero stars. I want a refund.

As a Thai food lover, this really is rather good. Add to this the staff are simply…wonderful. Friendly, efficient and a delight.Rather pleasant evening!

First time using this restaurant. Food delivered in time, hot and fresh. Will definitely be using it again.

Amazing good. Good price point & friendly owner. The Thai Red curry is very good, one of the best I’ve had in London.

Food was quite nice but tiny portions we’ve just had to order a pizza after it. They don’t use enough noodles.

Fantastic place ! Has become a firm favourite. Always made to feel so welcome by Peter and his team. Excellent food & lovely ambience. Very much recommended!

Delivery ok but food cold and small portions

Lovely food , really good service , and very good value…..we will definitely return !

We’ve eaten at O’s for years, and it never disappoints. Friendly welcome and service, and tasty, reasonably priced food and drinks.

Have been to this popular Thai restaurant in Crouch End a few times and the food cannot be faulted. Do not be fooled by the basic interior decor. This place is a local gem! Authentic, fresh ingredients, very flavourful and reasonably priced. Would recommend.

After 1h56 mins wait, average food turned up so yeah recommending.

Hands down the best Thai food in North London. Keep an eye on their specials as they are always nice. Fried rice was delicious too. Their starters are not to be missed, especially the dumplings and prawn toast.

Too small portion for the price

Great experience - lovely food and speedy polite delivery!

Absolutely lovely restaurant, excellent food and service, would definitely come back when in the area!

Excellent variety of Thai dishes available catering to all tastes. The environment is simple and fresh, but with a warm atmosphere. Food was reasonably priced and excellent quality. We dined quite early, but they still had plenty of table. Comes totally recommended.

High quality food fresh and reasonable price Excellent customer service Would highly recommend I’m a regular and have been coming for over 10 years

A very tasty meal at a reasonable cost efficiently served. Altogether an enjoyable experience that I will be repeating.

Had a lovely evening here, what a gem of a place! Lovely food, friendly staff, amazing prices !

I’ve been going here for 5 years and food never disappoints, it is our little gem in the middle of Crouch End. Every friend that I introduce it to ends up becoming a regular. Decent price, atmosphere and fresh authentic food.

Didn’t actually visit but ordered a take away - instead of checking they had someone to deliver, they went ahead with the orde and left it waiting over 40 minutes by the time I called to check. Completely useless, took no responsibility, did nothing to resolve the issue - in fact they made it seem it was my fault. Don’t care if their food is good or not, it’s about how they treat the customer especially when things go wrong and quite frankly, they don’t. I completely lost it with them due to their poor attitude towards me and am happy to openly admit it - am getting fed up with places that are quick to take my money but have no concept of who is the customer. I work hard to earn my money and am not prepared to just give it away for sub-par service.

got an order to takeaway, the service was rlly lovely and mmm the food was so good!! Mango rice pudding is one of the yummiest deserts I’ve ever had!! 🤤

lovley thai food and great helpful service

Food is bland, and portion size small. Don’t recommend

really great find , the food was ok ,plates where empty ,

Really comforting home cooking.

Delicious food, great prices and lovely service

The food was excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We really had a nice Thai food which tasted delicious.

Lovely, relaxed, local restaurant. I've been coming here for years and the food is really delicious. Nice owner too.

Overly oily, didn’t taste fresh. A real shame as having eaten there on many an evening it was far better

We were given veggie gyoza instead of chicken.

Have been to O’s many times over the last twenty plus years. The menu is extensive and caters for all. We went yesterday a group of four, two of which were vegetarian. They were able to chose almost anything. The starters and mains came quickly and were very tasty. The banana fritter desert was delicious. Service was attentive without being intrusive. A good meal and will go again.

One of the Best Thai food restaurants in Crouch End. Food was delicious , good portions & authentic taste .

Service was good. Food was better than expected, very flavorful and tasty. Restaurant had a intimate cozy vibe. Would definitely recommend and come back to eat here again.

The food is amazing as always 💜❤️😋

I've been coming here for years. The food and service is always excellent. Fresh, tasty, hot food every time. You will not be disappointed.

Disappointing! Green curry was mostly liquid, gyoza were very small. Flavour was average. Not at all what I expected. Not good value.

Always top quality and superb value. Lovely serving team

Food spillage in bag & I hate that the delivery driver thinks this is ok

The wooden seating was not very comfortable but could be improved by having chair cushions fitted. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Nice to see it busy.

Amazing flavours! Really great stuff.

As usual excellent authentic Thai food and great service. Even though we had not been into the restaurant for a year we still had a warm welcome from the owner who recognised us. A really lovely local restaurant

Disgusting pad Thai smells like ketchup and the smallest portion I’ve ever seen. Very disappointing.

Pad see ew. You know the dish, noodles caramelised with soy sauce. Simple. NOT! aluminium tub brimming with watery stuff spilling all over the carpet . Literally the worst.

Fabulous food - the deep fried sea bass was something else 👌

Flavours were good. Noodles and mixed starters were quite oily (starters were fried, but oilier than usual). What puts me off is that it really wasn't much food for 2 people for £45 (2 mains, 2 starters and prawn crackers) - we ate it all! And weren't crazy full after. Thought there'd be leftovers for tomorrow. I probably haven't caught up with the cost of living increases, but this will be my last takeaway for a while. App said the driver was at the restaurant for about half an hour and the delivery time kept extending, ended up taking an hour from ordering til delivery, but that's ok.

Thanks so much for my free rice! Food was delicious 🤗

Amazing price amazing quality food lovely ambiance, polite staff that leave you to enjoy your meal in peace and are attentive... would deffo come back again! If only i lived closer by

food was pretty decent for take-away. slightly heavy and greasy but otherwise good.

Not very nice food, very disappointing

It's OK, although I asked for something really spicy and there was hardly any spice.

Really good Thai food, nice cold beer and fast service. It was the perfect date night

They could've removed the king prawns' tails from the pad thai. It also comes without peanuts

Thai Red was decent, Tom kha was good, soft shell crab was meh.

Very frustrating I put a note on the order page as I know green curry comes with rice and it is possible to pay a little more for coconut rice which I prefer I was sent 2 rice which was exactly what I asked not to happen: coconut and plain Why bother to have space for a note if it is ignored Sara

Delicious food and excellent service.

Don’t usually leave reviews but thoroughly enjoyed my food! The prawn crackers were mad good. The tofu pad Thai was lovely! Happy full thank you!

Very tasty food, delivered quickly for a Saturday night

My partner and I visited O's after wanting to try it for some time. We had a lovely time, the staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. They have a good selection on the menu and then some amazing looking specials. We shared a starter and both had a main, this was plenty for two people. O's was definitely value for money and was clearly a favourite for many people as the staff welcomed regular customers and the place was busy with both dine in and takeaway customers. I would highly recommend O's as a relaxed environment to enjoy good food and friendly service. As a side note, I have poor mobility and use crutches, there are three steps from street level into the restaurant and the toilets are down a flight of stairs. This obviously didnt put me off but worth mentioning in case mobility is a consideration for others. Overall I would definitely visit again, well done team O's you are doing a great job. 🙂

Really enjoyed the meal. Thanks.

the massaman had some odd ingredients and the pad thai was not the best.

Ordered pad Thai and got a total of 4 prawn in it !!!!!! Four ! ? Won’t be back RIP OFF

Good quality food at reasonable prices

Amazing dinner amazing atmosphere!!!

Food was a bit thrown together - over-cooked starters, little rice, not very good main, salad was poor. I've been to the place many times before, and had hoped for better. Surprised it was so poor this time.

Pad thai flavours weren't great. Something smelled wrong about the chicken curry, didn't want to risk eating eat. Disappointed

Unfortunately the mains were disappointing. Lacking flavour & Thai authenticity even when I asked for spicy & extra chillies. I left most of the dish as did my partner with his red curry. Neither of us were asked if we enjoyed the food or why we hadn’t eaten much. Overall the experience wasn’t what we had expected

Always great food. Always welcoming and great service.

Delivery was really fast, but we didn't get the prawn crackers we'd ordered, and the green curry was really thin and disappointing. First time ordering from O's in a year and such a letdown

Really good food/specials. Clearly a lot of locals in there that go all the time as they knew the waiter and have chats. Really nice atmosphere, would definitely go back

Peter and his team always produce amazing food with great service. Keeps us coming back time after time. Outstanding Thai food with a plethora of vegetarian options

Good straight forward food - Fast Thanks

Thank you for a great meal with great service!

Amazing Thai food, staff are friendly. Definitely come back again! It’s not my first time here. The portions were big. Good money to value.

This restaurant was excellent before but something happened then it went downhill. The quality of the food mot as good as before. The portion became like kids portion. The sauces are so runny as if the owner want economise by adding water to all the sauces even sweet chilli sauce. Tonight’s dinner will be my last from this restaurant. What a shame ☹️

I ordered a thai yesterday evening, the initial delivery estimate was 20:20-20:30, but we called the restaurant past this time at about 21:10 and the gentleman had let us know the food had been waiting for a just eat driver to pick it up for almost half an hour. The man was nice and gave us 2 extra rices as the others would have been cold. The got the food about 21:30, it was nice but we had to heat it up a little in the microwave.

This food is inedible it looks and tastes awful

There was toast on our skewers, a weird and unappetising choice.
