Thai Pot - Bedfordbury in City of London, Westminster

The best Thai food I’ve ever found.

What a great find in Covent Garden. Stopped off on a Friday evening at 5:00 p.m. The welcome was warm and we were seated immediately. The food was great! I love Thai and this was one of the best; and very reasonable for central London. I will come back 😀🇹🇭

Excellent food. Highly recommend the Chicken Green Curry. Superb! Great find!

It's very delicious. Auntie and senior staff at the shop. Very cute too.

Food was ok - not as good as I was expecting. Service was fast and we were a big table - that's why it's a great option for dinner before the theatre. I had massaman and it was ok, I didn't like the coconut rice at all - tasted too strong, almost like synthetic coconut and oil, very stodgy.

I love this place - food is really good, cozy and he service is great and genuine :)

Delicious food and amazing people serving! Highly recommend for Thai food lovers! Thank you!!!

Brilliant food. Owners are very kind and welcoming

I took my daughter who is 11 and she ordered a dish that was too spicy for her. The lady came over and took it away and said “I will bring her something she likes, believe me she will love it” and she did! I wish I knew the lady’s name as she made it very special and it really meant a lot.

Looks lovely but food poor and rice was cold. There was a very loud woman, I think, in charge which was quite distracting. Service was good though.

Great Thai restaurant. Staff helpful and menu clearly marked for gluten free. Food was tasty and all our party enjoyed their meals.

Food was tasty but very little duck in my duck curry. Also when checking the bill they had added the service charge twice...apologised when we pointed it out...accidents happen I guess, good thing we checked.

Delicious, authentic, lovely service

Delicious food with great service. Brilliant friendly atmosphere and I can't wait to return.

Food delicious! We chose vegetarian for a change - lovely. Service was quick, polite and friendly. All very good

Ahead of a trip to Royal Opera House we found this gem to eat. There are so many places to eat in and around Covent Garden but if you’re looking for something which isn’t too hustle and bustle this would be an option. Warm welcome. Extensive menu. Very reasonable prices though the portions were smaller than we have all become used to but perhaps don’t need. Cooked fresh and delicious. Would definitely go again.

Great restaurant, lovely staff and delicious, inexpensive food. I recommend.

The food was excellent. With fabulous depth of flavour. However the portions felt a bit small for the price.

Menu buono d abbondante. Personale gentile e disponibile In zona centrale

delicious food 10/10 zero complaints

I’m visiting the restaurant in July 2024. I visited the place more than five years ago and I’m delighted to say the hospitality is as warm as ever and the food hasn’t changed one bit It retains its authenticity in flavour and the service matches intrude high style Ordered a pad Thai for my daughter and I ordered a lamb gai. Started with Tod man pla. I was offered a spice tray with 6 options and they were just amazing. Haven’t had real Thai food in a long while and this definitely hit the mark. it’s consistent, tasty and authentic and the restaurant comes highly recommended for service food and atmosphere

An overall lovely experience. The food was brilliant, the staff were attentive and the atmosphere was good.

Excellent meal during London Pride. (Sorry ... it was so good I ate most of it before taking the picture!!) Fitted us in, and then all wanted pictures with us. Such lovely staff.

Delicious red curry, will defo come again!

Take-out and take-out. Tom Yum Goong is 8 pounds and 1,600 yen, which is too expensive, but the taste is good! Authentic❣️

The food was authentic and of the highest quality. The service was impeccable. It’s a must visit when in central London

Popped in for early dinner before watching a show. Never been here before but I will highly recommend. I had a lamb massamam curry with sticky rice. Delicious. Space restaurant, plenty of tables and very quick service.

Authentic cuisine very flavorful 👍 Friendly Staff 💯 Worth a try if you wanta explore food😋

It's been a brilliant restaurant for the 25 years + I've been going there...

Super convenient for theatres in St Martins Lane area. Humorous and attentive staff. Great authentic Thai food. You can be done in 40 mins without feeling rushed at all. Recommend.

Excellent food, great attention to gluten-free, friendly staff, fast and punctual service. Advised.

The Gold Pot set menu was truly excellent and plenty for two sizeable appetites! Everything was seasoned and spiced to perfection. Staff were incredibly helpful, polite and attentive. This was a perfect stop before seeing our theatre show at the London Coliseum just next door. If you enjoy Thai food it’s an easy recommendation.

I have been here 4 or 5 times but today I think it was my last ,food was great ,service was rushed and the restaurant was quiet ,it wasn't late it was 1.30 when we had finished the waitrese kept raising her voice saying enjoy you're food but it was said in a very annoying and too loud a tone to the point of when I said this would drive me mad if I was here a while ,the food very good but too too rushed , we were asked if we wanted anything else and wanted to let our food go down ,we were met with "I'll bring you the bill !" For a restaurant that's is clearly not full to capacity you would think they would want to attract people to stay and spend a bit more with coffee etc ,if they were full I can understand but this is typically being treated as if you are on a convey belt ,at they want ypu out as fast as possible . Sorry but the food is great service attitude needs to change

Nice place with nice service and the food tasted really nice even though it doesn’t really look it

My partner and I came here today for food before a theatre show and it absolutely blew us away! The food was beautiful.. Flavours so Ooooo tasty, especially the vegan options. Staff were lovely. Would very much recommend! Thank you.

Nice people and good food for take away!

I first came here in 2022 and was so pleased with the food and service that I came back on my next trip to London. The food was served so quickly! The gluten free options are great and it was one of the least expensive meals we have had in London. I strongly reccomend Thai Pot!

Great food, friendly service, bustling atmosphere

Had a quick lunch on my own at this place because I read somewhere that it was extremely good but sadly, it wasn’t. Service was excellent, the menu is extensive and they have several lunch specials but the portions are small and the food is just not flavorful. I had the papaya salad and the corn, mushrooms and beans and everything tasted bland. My sale was £10.50 and the vegetables were £7.50. I might give it another chance maybe with a large group in order to try a variety of things Maybe I ordered the wrong thing ? I don’t know but I was disappointed

The food quality is absolutely unacceptable...... I don't understand why this restaurant can receive such rating.

Excellent find for dinner before a concert tonight. Staff very attentive & friendly. Food arrived quickly & was very tasty We had the chickens Gang Kiow wang & Gang Ped (green & red curries) Husband was tempted by the mango soufflé desert, which came topped with tutti gritty candy floss! Very tasty

This is a staple for me in London, I am up here a lot and this restaurant is perfectly located. Reasonable priced and as authentic as the food I've had in Thailand! Love it.

Excellent food and friendly service. Probably the best vegetable Tempura I've ever had.

Great food and fab service. Pre theatre dinner booked the week before. Meal was exceptionally tasty!

Thai food here is outstanding - something for everyone.

Booked on the fork but on arrival owner told me that she did not want to pay the £2 to the Fork booking website as I was dining solo so asked me to cancel, which I didn’t. Owner however is welcoming and rest of staff was very welcoming and interactive. Large interior with wooden tables and comfortable seats. Tables well spaces out. Extensive no vegetation and vegetarian menu. Also selection of lunch and set menus. Order the pad kee mao which arrived within 15minutes of ordering- small volume dish on arrival,tasted good, on the oily side and quite spicy. There could have been more volume of noodles in the dish however the meat and veg quantity was adequate . Food is on the hotter side with fresh chilis and other spices in the dish. All is all a good location for pre theatre meal also super fast and tasty food.

Quite a bustly restaurant behind the London Coliseum. Food was tasty with a lively ambience. Really decently priced too!

Very nice and fresh food, comfortable restaurant, not too noisy.

The food was great as usual, except for 2 lttle niggles in the vegetarian starters: the fried Tofu was quite blah, and the vegetable sacks were too tiny. However we all loved the zucchini satay, the green curry, and the specially prepared for us stir fried green vegetables with basil. Ambience is good with the tables not squeezed together, as it often happens these days.

Tasty cuisine and great atmosphere, I recommend!

Stopped in here before going to see Bronco Billy, we had a certain amount of time and let them know when we were seated. It was nice because even though they were busy we didn’t need reservations. Loved that they took food allergies seriously and took time to identify items and also talk through questions. They were fast and efficient, and food was so good!

Terrible food. I literally felt like I'd been robbed. Starters were dry, we tried to explain, the staff was more bothered about going home than helping us. Food was terrible dry and tasteless. Staff were very rude. No high chair or changing facilities for babies, not very family friendly either.

Average central London Thai that could be better. Dishes need to more authentically reflect Thai flavours. Service was a little pushy, half empty but quickly asked more than once what our order was, without being given time to read the menu.

Good thai curries and thai salads

Thai pot at Covent Garden London serves delicious, tasty Thai food. Thai green curry is fresh with vegetables and you have options to take prawns or chicken. The chicken wings was crispy and tasty too. The papaya salad was the best dish and a perfect salad to start your meal with. It had the perfect balance of spice and sweetness and really done well. It’s worth the visit and you have to try the papaya salad for sure. The service was super quick, good ambience and very convenient access from the Covent Garden station. Highly recommend this place 👌👌👌

Very attentive staff, excellent food, loved the candy floss garnish on the dessert

Simply outstanding, a real taste of proper Thailand with owners who understand the difference between ‘hot’ and ‘Thai hot’!

Excellent authentic Thai food. I have been three times and every dish was excellent. The som tam is a must try, best I’ve ever had outside of Thailand!

Visited on a weekday for lunch and the restaurant was so quiet till an hour later when two or three tables were occupied. Service was very friendly,but food was so basic and very average for what we have chosen. For mains ,we had a Beef Massaman Curry which came with potatoes and only 5 pieces of beef. Taste was so average,Another vegetable dish was the stir fried glass noodle with assorted veggies,also so basic and average taste. 2 bowls of jasmine rice accompanied the dishes. Fairly disappointed with the meal as reviews were very favourable.

Very disappointing. Very empty on a Friday lunchtime. Food was very average and arrived within minutes of ordering. No lingering over coffee. They were eager to close up with bills brought and lights in the other half of the restaurant going out. Won’t be back

Good food when I was in a rush. Top tofu.

Fantastic Thai food. I had pad Thai and it was excellent. I have been for many years and it never disappoints. Very good staff very efficient and friendly.

Most places seemed to be booked with queues as it was Chinese New Year. However, while walking back to Charing Cross we came across the Thai Pot. The staff were very welcoming and showed us to our table. We gave a drinks order followed by our food order some 5 minutes later. The soup was sublime, with just the right amount of spice. My beef dish with sticky rice and a side of spinach was excellent. Thai beer was its usual quality. Overall, super impressed and very reasonably priced.

Our experience and meal was OK but under whelming and under expectations. 4 small cubes of beef in our Massaman curry, rather overcooked (and seemed not from fresh) salmon, small starter portions. Service was rushed, when we asked for recommendations from the extensive menu we were told to look through it ourselves! Overall atmosphere felt cold, that customers are a necessary evil! And when they started brushing the floor not far from us we got the impression they didn’t want us there anymore (9pm). Shame as this could be so much better.

Lovely little place tucked around the corner from the main streets. Interesting menu, friendly service. Will return.

This is a great Thai restaurant. A few minutes away from St Martin's in the field. The food is fresh and most importantly tastes amazing. The staff are friendly and great service. A must must try.

Thai Pot is such a wonderful place to go for a bite to eat. In addition to the food being delicious and of great quality, all of the staff who work there are always so extremely kind, friendly and welcoming, which makes for a great overall experience!

Shout out to the lady who served us, she knew we were in a rush and had us served in no time, absolute legend! Got a stir fry with tofu and veg, which was also quite nice.

Extensive menu but the lunch set menu is good value for money which is what we went for. Food was okay but not particularly special. As a fan of spicy food, I loved their chili pots they offer for the table. Some food took a while to arrive.

Excellent food, authentic and subtle. The owners are simply lovely and attentive to the clients, without being pompous.

Loveliest Thai resturant! Food amazing and the stewards are beautiful 😍 thank you

Starters arrived after mains. But busy night. Good food

Delicious Thai food served and the ambience is very inviting and relaxing. Really enjoyed my dinner here.

This is a very nice little restaurant tucked away from trafalgar Square and Charing Cross. The food is delicious. Totally recommend it!

Gorgeous food. Delivered quickly and the foot was hot. Would definitely recommend ⭐️🤩

I didn't feel so unrelaxed eating in a long time. The staff is constantly rushing and yelling. I can tell they probably are scared of their manager. The food quality and taste is average. I wouldn't recommend this place if you want to have a relaxed dinner in a calm environment.

Very delicious Thai food and great choice for vegetarians 😊😊

Really disappointing meal - the vermicelli salad which used to be a great sharer starter was barely enough for one and hardly any glass noodle in it - and 2 prawns. Main courses were OK but service was rushed - in a virtually empty restaurant- after 25+ years of this being a go to that will be my last visit

I visited with four work colleagues. Food was tasty and service was really friendly and fast. We were not in a rush, but this would be a perfect choice for a pre-theatre meal. Highly recommended.

A nice spot for Thai food. Good variety on the menu and the food was tasty with decent portion sizes. Some dishes took quite a while to arrive though.

Pre theatre, fast service. This will be a go to for us. Yes I have had better Thai but it was gorgeous still. My goodness the staff make it so wonderful. Friendly, welcoming and available. This is a gem .. handy for the theatre and not packed out like many places.

Great food and friendly service!

Delicious authentic Thai restaurant

Fuimos un sábado por la noche temiendo no encontrar mesa pero no fue así, a pesar de estar lleno enseguida nos sentaron. Se ve que es un lugar muy concurrido pero son rápidos y la gente entra y sale continuamente. El ambiente es más de comer algo rápido, no es un ambiente relajado debido al ajetreo que hay. La comida estaba buenísima, pedimos sopa tom kha gai, curry de pato y padthai y todo genial, además el trato fue estupendo. Muy recomendable

1 phad thia was missing and the soup was spilt everywhere

Delicious, authentic Thai food that is reasonably priced in a relaxed setting with really friendly staff

Loved the food, and the service was excellent

Nice, friendly staff. Exceptionally good prices given the location and quality of the food. The service is very quick. Everything was really good.

I order a soup and the soup might have drop. And get my other dish quit wet from the soho in my noodle. The had almost nothing left to eat.

Great fresh food and clearly liked by Thai visitors (which was a good sign). Friendly service. Unfortunately there was a dog in the restaurant, possibly owner or one of their relatives? I don’t mind a dog in a pub but not in an establishment like this so one star docked (and it barked a number of times!)

Went to this restaurant to meet with some friends for a long overdue catch-up. The food was really good but it turned up in around 10/15 minutes after ordering together with a couple of the starters. This meant we were done in around 40 minutes. The waitress kept coming to ask if we wanted to order something else and constantly looking at our table which made us feel like they wanted us to leave an the place wasn't even busy. Personally, a quick service for lunch works but not so much for dinner as generally people have more time and want to have a nice chat.

We came in without a booking as it smelt good. They quickly made room for us. All the food was amazing the best Thai we’ve ever had. The young male waiter was superb and attentive and really looked after us and made recommendations etc. can’t wait to return - delicious and amazing experience

A great find! Delicious food, the nicest Massaman chicken curry I’ve had in a long time. The ribs starter fell off the bone. Very friendly service, lively atmosphere. A great dinner with friends. We’ll be back!

Posto molto carino il cibo veramente buono ma soprattutto il personale è gentilissimo e molto attento

Nos encantó el sitio...llegamos por una calle pequeñísima con dos pubs. Riquísimos los curris y Pad Thai así como las sopas. Atención muy amable. Calidad precio muy bien

After recommendation, finally visited the place.The place will give you the feel of Thailand with very authentic flavors. Service was fast, and servers were great present specially their food elevator will catch your eye.

absolutely delicious food with lovely staff.
