Thai O'CHA Restaurant in Tower Hamlets

The best place in brick lane, is the perfect treat!! Every time I come I like it more

Delicious food, attentive staff, decent prices. We had pad thai and the lamb with curry, delicious and tasty. I do recommend it.

Super fast service really good food for a great price

Great food, lovely service, nice atmosphere - will definitely be back. Good quality for a very good price

TOTALLY USELESS CUSTOMER SERVICE. IT IS NOT CLEAR CURRY COMES WITH NO RICE. WHEN CALLED TO ASK WHERE IT WAS THEY SAID ORDER IT SEPARATELY (OK) SO SAID OK HAPPY TO PAY...BUT THEY CANNOT DELIVER IT. SO EATING CURRY WITH NO RICE. WILL NOT ORDER AGAIN.

Plenty of vegetarian options here to choose from. Loved the Tom Yum. Great flavours and friendly service!

Great service but the food isn't brilliant. It's ok - but it's not that good. This Thai restaurant is owned and run by Bangladeshis, which might help explain this. It's also quite expensive and seeks to style itself as a top tier restaurant when it's definitely mid. That said the service was very good and it wasn't that busy so you don't need to book.

We enjoyed on of their set menus which came with a cross section between all flavors and different types of meats and vegetables along with an appetizers sampler and dessert. Food was excellent but we could have fed a other group of the same size as the portions were so big. Highly recommend!

I went this restaurant food are delicious and nice environment

Amazing restaurant, authentic taste with very friendly environment. Really enjoyed the moment. Would love to go there again.

A Hidden Gem on Brick Lane If you're a fan of Thai food and happen to be wandering through the vibrant streets of Brick Lane, you should definitely stop by Thai O'CHA Restaurant. This unassuming gem is a delightful discovery for anyone craving authentic, flavourful Thai dishes with a bit of a local twist. Atmosphere: 5/5 While the restaurant's decor isn't overly flashy, there's a cozy, inviting vibe that makes you feel at home from the moment you step inside. The staff are warm and friendly, caring immediately setting the tone for a relaxed dining experience. Whether you're dining solo or with friends/family the space has a comfortable, no-fuss energy that’s perfect for enjoying a casual or romantic meal. Food: 5/5 Thai O'CHA truly shines is in its food. Every dish burst with fresh, bold Flavors that transport you straight to Thailand. The menu features all the classics, from the fragrant Pad Thai and Green Curry to more unique options like the Drunken Beef and Thai O’Cha Special fried rice. I highly recommend the Tiger Cry absolutely delicious—it’s rich and creamy with a depth of flavour that’s hard to match. The Panang Gaeis another standout Dish: perfectly balanced with crispy vegetables, and the right amount of lime leaves & red chillies. If you're a fan of spice, ask for their Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken—it’s not for the faint of heart but is packed with heat and flavour! Service: 5/5 The service is attentive and friendly, though there can be occasional delays during busy times, which is understandable given the popularity of the spot. The staff are always happy to offer recommendations or customize dishes to your liking, whether you prefer extra spice or have dietary restrictions. Value for Money: 5/5 Given the portion sizes and the quality of the ingredients, Thai O'CHA offers great value for money. You’ll leave feeling full and satisfied without breaking the bank. Final Thoughts: Overall, Thai O'CHA is a wonderful spot to enjoy authentic Thai Flavors in the heart of Brick Lane. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this restaurant should be on your radar. It’s the perfect balance of delicious food, warm service, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended! Mrs & Mr Zaman Thank you very much for a wonder Customer Service :)

Very high quality and rich Thai food and desserts, words cannot describe it.

The whole experience was great! From the start, we were greeted and shown to our table by the warm and friendly staff. They helped us with the menu, gave us great recommendations. The food was DELICIOUS! My personal favourite is the Drunken Beef, FULL of flavours, can be a bit spicy for some but I loved it. All in all, great experience, highly recommended.

The food here is absolutely delicious! Drunken Noodles dish we tried it was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the Drunken Noodles.

Fantastic Customer service, great authentic food and lovely atmosphere. In contrast to all the other Thai food places I have been to, I would say this tasted the best.

A Thai gem in Brick Lane, authentic food with great service.

Delicious authentic Thai food, great service.

Very good food! Panang curry, mango sticker rice are my favorites!

Personal limpio y agradable. La comida llegó rápidamente, me dieron un vaso plano de Prosecco y cuando me pidieron que cambiara el caballero se disculpó y no podría haberme conseguido otro vaso más rápido, increíblemente educado. La comida era agradable, no excepcional, pero agradable. porciones generosas y a un precio razonable, un lugar de calma entre el negocio de brick lane.

Food was amazing. Would definitely recommend the lamb shank Panag curry.

Absolutely appalling service from the restaurant, took over an hour and still didn't receive my order. The latest estimated time kept changing..Absolutely ridiculous keeping people waiting like that. Never again will I.order from here

We dined Sunday evening. The food was wonderful and the restaurant was clean and smart if a little lacking in atmosphere due to being one of only 2 couples in the place. The big disappointment was the toilets, they were foul smelling, I decided to wait til I got home.

I visited Thai O'CHA with friends for dinner and was thoroughly impressed, not just with the food but also with the outstanding service. We ordered the Tiger Cry (beef steak), Pad Se-ew, and chicken satay for starters. My steak was cooked to perfection—soft, tender, and exactly as I ordered it, medium rare. The flavors were amazing, and the service by Oscar was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

Very nice Thai restaurant located on Brick Lane. We rocked up at lunchtime on a Sunday without a reservation, but thankfully, there was plenty of availability. We ordered the veg Thai green curry with coconut rice for our main accompanied by some veg tempura and a couple of bottles of Singha beer. The food was delicious, and we got a good table by the window to watch the world go by.

Lovely food, very tasty and did set vegetarian for two and food was plentiful and delicious. Service very good. Would go again.

A very lucky find. At the top of Brick Lane and slightly distanced from the other restaurants. Have been a few times. It's not overcrowded, but don't be fooled or put off. It's a terrific Thai restaurant, and I haven't been disappointed! Great value, service, and lovely food.

Situado en Brick Lane - que vive de la reputación injustificada de sus restaurantes indios / Bangladesh ahora en gran parte mediocre - este lugar es un restaurante es un diamante inesperado en bruto. También es una demostración de que todos los términos de cocina son un paraguas. La comida aquí es incuestionablemente tailandesa, y sin embargo había matices y diferencias que no esperaba. El lugar está limpio, bien cuidado, cómodo y bien iluminado. No es barato - una comida que consiste en un entrante, uno principal, y arroz y ninguna bebida llegó a un total comparable con la comida tailandesa suburbana - pero la calidad es buena, y el personal es amable. No viajaría allí específicamente, pero si me encuentro en el barrio, esto ocupará un lugar destacado en mi lista de lugares a los que regresar. A pesar de las estrechas aceras de Brick Lane, y el estacionamiento frecuente desconsiderado, y los ladridos siempre presentes fuera de otros establecimientos, el acceso es en el piso (aunque no comprobé los baños, que pueden ser arriba o abajo de escaleras). Si te gusta la comida tailandesa, y estás en Shoreditch, te sugiero que pruebes el lugar.

Just awesome I'm full enjoy all food Very good service all stuff and owner.

Food was absolutely delicious 😋 costumer service excellent very friendly team member

Wonderful taste and clean service.

I came with my hubby and some of cousin in thai o'chai...the food was amazing special my hubby liked (gaeng panang)

Authentic Thai food, very good customer service

The food was excellent! I had the steak, and it was cooked perfectly.

Went there with group of 8 people The food was amazing, flavourful. i love pad thai and they have the best pad thai. also tom yum soup and must try item is special fried rice service is 10/10 very friendly and kind. highly recommend this place for Thai lovers

Dorothy Masi, thankbyou ever so much for hosting us and your amazing hospitality as always. You have the knack to go that extra mile, which I appreciate.

Oscar thank you so much for your hospitality, you always go above and beyond.

TLDR: This place is has amazing food, even better service. Check it out!!! If there were more stars to give Thai O'CHA would get them, no question. My partner and I found this place a couple of years ago and now always return here anytime we're back in London. We're working our way through the entire menu and every dish is as good as the last, if not better (duck in oyster sauce or drunken beef are personal favourites, give them a try). But the main reason we keep coming back is the service, more specifically Emma. She always greets us (and everyone else) with a smile and is one of the most kind and diligent people we've ever had the pleasure of meeting. So make sure you check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

The food was great and delicious

Amazing food as always and great service provided by Oscar. Never lets me down. Definitely one of my most favorite restaurants in London

Needed a last minute dining option and thankfully Thai ocha was available, the hospitality was outstanding with satisfying customer service, they didn't let me down for one second, providing me with assistance and recommendation with their menu to which the lamb shank and pad Thai is what I will be returning back for again very soon, the taste was authentic and hit every taste bud, giving a sizzling and delicious outcome after each bite, what topped it off for me and my family was the right usage of vegetables used in each dish. Bear in mind this was a last minute meal planned for my sister and her family who came from abroad to visit London for a few days, I can happily say they enjoyed this moment of experiencing authentic thai food, to which they said they would visit this place again before they fly out as well as returning back here next time they visit London (including myself for sure!)

Food was really good! Would defo go back but the service was quite slow given it was a saturday. Not too busy when we arrived.

Came here with my fiance, for the very first time, didn't know what to expect but I was really surprised with the quality of the food and the ambiance, the staff where friendly and very understanding to a newbie like my amazing experience.

Food was really delicious! We enjoyed the Tom Yum soup…great level of spice. Green curry and chicken pad Thai were also very tasty! I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good Thai food in London!

Dinner with friends in this Thai restaurant in Brick Lane. 4 starters, 2 first courses, 2 fish salads, 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine for €160... high price (in my opinion), service that could be improved... bringing glasses of already poured wine is not pleasant... the truth The problem was the salads, the chilli was too intrusive and covered the taste of everything else!

Imran was amazing! Food was superb, recommend grilled squid.

Went here for a work meal and was able to order freely. We ordered a large selection of starters and mains. The prawn tempura was worse than the frozen offering from Tescos. Overcooked and far from fresh. We ordered several portions of Thai calamari, thinking the dish would be similar to Busaba's similarly named items, but we received thin strips of overcooked calamari covered in breadcrumbs. For my main, i ordered the house rice and a tiger prawn curry. It was obvious to me that the sauce was cooked separately from the protein and just poured on top prior to serving. They also didn't have Thai iced coffee/tea on their menu, which was surprising. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

This restaurant is one of my favourite been there few times really tasty and flavourable food you could taste in the hearts of East London, customer service is on point good vibe to be in whilst enjoying the food and also the price is reasonable would recommend if anyone is craving Thai food to visit this place dobt knock it till you try it. Keep up the good work Thai staffs ❤

I feel a little mislead from this restaurant’s ratings and reviews. Food was alright, nothing extraordinary though or remarkable. Possibly it would be a good “takeaway” but not a nice restaurant to go and have dinner at and want to return. Upon arrival I informed the waitress that I am intolerant to garlic and asked if I can have the broccoli and mushroom side dish with the (garlic) sauce aside. Then I have been told they cannot make it as they roast the veggies and the sauce together - surely there are alternatives to serve roasted vegetables. They were zero accommodating to my intolerance and didn’t advice me if any of the food that I ordered contained any garlic. We were a group of four people and our mains arrived at completely different times and some of the dishes even were wrong. We had to ask for water again and again (as we were served water in some small glasses). During our meal we ordered a second bottle of wine, different red wine to what we were already drinking and we were just waiting passed the bottle - no new glasses no question if we want to taste the wine or to be served. They just left a bottle on our table. Then towards the end of our meal I went to the toilet, only to return to the table and see that all plates have been cleaned up from the table but mine - surely it’s not polite but even if I wanted to continue eating my dinner I was made feel uncomfortable being the only person with a plate. All in all I had the experience was subpar, I only enjoyed my time there as I was amongst good friends and don’t think I would be returning back.

Amazing food and service! Oscar was so kind and took good care of our group, being mindful of our dietary requirements and efficient with the service. The food was delicious and tastes better than many Thai places I’ve tried. Really recommend this place. Definitely coming back soon!

Goog Thai food, nice service, the music though was hipnotizing . Good value for money, medium portions. Would go back

I had two vegetarian options which were fresh and delicious. However I would love to see more, as well as some vegan alternatives. The wine was suitably chilled and of good quality.

Food was amazing..service was top notch and attentive..thank you Ozzie and the chefs for this wonderful experience... definitely coming again.....🌟🌟🌟🌟

My friend and I were really looking forward to trying a good Thai restaurant. Unfortunately, the service was a huge disappointment. Despite the restaurant being hardly busy we struggled flag down a waitress for a glass of water. We were really shocked and appalled by Ozzie's behaviour at the till. He was rude and condescending when I wanted to split my bill but include one dish in full. As we were figuring out the total, he kept snapping at us, which ruined our evening. We had spent a considerable amount of money here too and he didn't even say thank you at the end. It's a shame since we really enjoyed our meal and had planned to visit again during the week. That said, we did not feel welcome and will definitely not be returning.

Thank you Ozzie and the waitress for the wonderful, warm and welcoming service ...food was amazing too..

Amazing Food and great atmosphere... Taste dishes, and staff is always smiling na professional... A warm welcome and a good selection of beers and cocktails!one of the best around!! Take time and go to have a dinner,walking in Brick Lane, and after dinner an amazing Espresso Martini and the Exit Bar beside... Great job guys!!! See you soon

Very good food and very good service i like this restaurant

The food did not have the typical Thai flavors I know and love, making it a bit of a letdown. The service was decent. The decor and ambiance had an industrial charm.

I came here for dinner with the kids. Wasn’t sure how i’d find the food as I don’t usually venture outside of my comfort zone to try different cuisines. However the food was lovely and full of flavour here. The staff were very attentive and friendly, especially Emma who served us today. I would recommend the Pad Kee Mao and the soups Tom Yum and Tom Kha which were packed full of flavour, also try the Som Tum which was nice and spicy. For dessert I would recommend the Mango Sticky Rice which went down well with all of us.

Beautiful food, fast and efficient service. Reasonably priced.

Went with friends on recommendation and would definitely go again. The food and service was perfect. We ordered Chu Chee Fish, Papaya Salad and Vegetables Green Curry with rice. All was delicious and just the right spice for us all 🙏🏼🥰

Fui con amigos por recomendación y sin duda volvería a ir de nuevo. La comida y el servicio era perfecto. Pedimos pescado Chu Chee, ensalada de papaya y curry verde de verduras con arroz. Todo estaba delicioso y la especia justa para todos nosotros 🙏🏼🥰

Thai O'Cha restaurant was a great experience, nice atmosphere, food is excellent, great service, friendly staff. It was my birthday so staff surprised me with a cake. Made my day very special. 100% recommend and I will definitely visit again 😊

Personnel sans peux accueillant à première vue mais se montre très sympa par la suite, à l’écoute des demandes malgré un léger manque de communication mais rien de vraiment préoccupant. La nourriture est servies très rapidement et est extrêmement bien préparée la présentation est belle et le goût, juste exceptionnel, honnêtement un des meilleurs restaurant thaï que j’ai gouté. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant pour chaque personne cherchant un restaurant où manger de la bonne nourriture. Merci pour cette expérience culinaire

Amazing food, great service and very friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

amazing interior,delicious food,just loved the food and their service was just wow❤️❤️❤️

I’m so impressed by this restaurant. I hardly ever post reviews but this was worth it . Staff were great, service was amazing. Food came so quickly and was still hot. Portions sizes were great. Me and my partner love Thai food and I can comfortably say this is one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to. It was my partners birthday and they made it so special. I’m even going to post it on my social media pages. We will definitely be back. I’m going to be dreaming about the pad Thai 😍

A good customer service by Imram, the food was amazing, I would love to come back again .

Everything was good except they charged us 30 pounds by accident. But the food was very very good. I would reccomend it.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. Felt like I was in Thailand again, authentic Thai food with a great ambient, very relaxing. Imran made me feel at home.

Thanks for a lovely dinner. We had a great time. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. Interiors inspiring, music mesmerising. The tap water was trrrific, the flavours ferocious, oh, formidable. Most of all, the welcome was warm and wondrous. Best regards, Jillian and Ro xo

Traditional Thai food. Yummy Tom Yum soup. Good table service with smile face. Recommended!

Great Thai place on Brick Lane, food is amazing. Very friendly staff.

The fish and the lamb shank was amazing Can't wait to come back

Amazing food, a great choice on the menu! Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend going if your near brick lane!

Best Thai food we have ever had. The service was mind blowing as well as the atmosphere. Our server Imran was very friendly, he helped us with the entire Menu. We will definitely be coming again.

Rude driver failed to deliver the food, but marked as delivered. Called the restaurant but they could not / would not help.

The food was delicious and the service was great. I would recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. 10/10

Great place. Food and service outstanding. If you like Thai food, this is the place

This was a random find & I'm so glad I found it! Great vegan options, I loved my spicy tofu, veg & noodle dish! Imran was my waiter & he was so helpful & friendly :) Lovely decor, I'll come again! Thank you

Delicious dinner and very happy with service

Great Thai spot in Brick Lane, cozy interior with a modern look. The service was incredible, Emma, treated us so well and was very accommodating. The food, wow, no complaints here. Ordered the Tom yum soup which was perfectly spicy and sour. The crying tyger was a huge portion for the price and was cooked to a wonderful medium rare (Emma asked how we wanted it cooked). The chicken satay was also delicious and came with 4 sticks. The egg fried rice was seasoned really well and paired well with the steak and squid dish. Lastly, the pad Thai was full of flavor, not dry and was the best noodle entree! Would def recommend and will be back on the next trip to London.

Discovered this gem of a place with a friend who has more experience than me ordering Thai food. Our server Emma was very pleasant and had a smile on her face throughout the whole meal. We ordered quite a few things and we couldn’t finish but my highlights were the ‘Tiger Cry’ beef steak (at £14.95, you won’t find tastier beef anywhere) paired with a spicy herby sauce (we ordered ours rare and was perfectly cooked) and the Tom Yum soup which is (mildly) spicy and sour. The Pad Thai was also delicious and well prepared. This is one of the few places where you can enjoy a delicious meal and not feel rushed throughout. Would return and recommend to friends 👍🏻

I celebrated my birthday here with some friends and had a lovely time. The food was great and the service was fantastic!

Food was delicious, good service. Luckily not too busy on a Thursday. Would like to come again to try more dishes!

Visited last week with family. Food was flavourful and staff were very friendly. The ambience was pleasant and soothing. A go to place for Thai food.

Great food. Mostly attracted by the reviews of the friendly service, but they must have been off the night we visited. Strangely cold and unfriendly staff.

The mixed starters are a nice option to try and share between people.

Outstanding food. Very good service. Good location.

Food was outstanding , was fasting today for Ramadan and came here to eat and it met my expectations! Flavours were tasteful and I had to order seconds. Would heavily recommend and will be returning here again with the family. Staff were super friendly and hospitality was great

First time trying this place, we got the Tom yum soup, Tom Kha soup, pad Thai and pad kimaw and calamari and the lamb shank. All items were a 10/10. I would recommend this place and definitely come back here.

This is the best restaurant in London. The food, hospitality is second to none.

Authentic flavors, cozy ambiance, and attentive service make dining at Thai O'CHA Restaurant a delightful experience. From savory Pad Thai to aromatic curries, each dish bursts with fresh ingredients and traditional Thai spices. A must-visit spot for anyone craving an unforgettable Thai culinary journey!

Food is decent. The steamed sea bass wasn’t very fresh unfortunately. But the ambiance and service was good.

Ordered our food and it was immediately forgotten. We reordered and the food when it arrived was fantastic!! So so yummy & great portion sizes. Unfortunately, the staff interactions felt strange with very casual attire. We felt very forced to pay quickly and with a very large service change. Would come again for the food!

An excellent restaurant. Very welcoming environment and excellent service. Their typical food, with great taste and well prepared. We ate very well and thank you for the welcome.

Very nice restaurant with good food! We had two curry’s in green and red … both not that hot, so space for more bumbs! The NZ Sauvignon Blanc was excellent as well as the service!

Having visited Thai O'Cha Restaurant last year with friends and recently for a business dinner with colleagues, this establishment continues to impress with its exceptional service and quality food. Set in the heart of historic Brick Lane, nestled in a charming atmosphere, it's an ideal setting for various occasions, whether it's a business dinner, staff party, or romantic evening. The service here is truly excellent; the staff are attentive, friendly, and ensure that every need is met promptly and with a smile. What's more, the prices are surprisingly reasonable compared to other local Thai restaurants, and the portion sizes are generous. As for the food, it exceeded all expectations. The Lamb Shank was succulent and full of flavour, the Steamed Seabass was cooked to perfection, and the Special Fried Rice was a delicious accompaniment. I also highly recommend trying the Pad Pro Kaw with minced chicken, if you're into a bit of spice – it's a real standout dish. Overall, Thai O'Cha is a gem of a restaurant, it delivers an outstanding dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic Thai cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to return!

Overall very positive experience! We had the Red Curry, Pad See Ew and Spring Rolls and enjoyed all the dishes. My personal favourite was the fact that all dishes included a reasonable amount and selection of vegetables, which isn't always common across London. While the prices were very reasonable, I found the portion of sticky rice on the smaller side while being a little pricy. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making it an overall quick, easy and enjoyable experience (no chasing the staff to pay the bill, etc). We would definitely come back!
