Thai Pot - Bedfordbury in City of London, Westminster

Lovely airy restaurant with very friendly staff and food was delicious.

Food was lovely. Will definitely be back

An excellent find - great location, airy comfortable restaurant with very reasonably priced menu - lunchtime deal great value for central London. Food presented well and with great taste. Would recommend and will return.

I have been returning to the Thai Pot restaurant for many years. It’s hands down the best food around. Outstanding flavours and fresh ingredients. The no MSG policy is a winner and a rare thing to find. Service is also excellent every time. Faultless. Great place to visit especially if you are going to see a musical nearby as the food service is also extremely prompt.

Great service in a central location. Food is really tasty with a balance of spice and aroma. Been coming here for years and never had a bad meal. Service is quick even when busy. Perfect for a pre opera meal or conversation after a gallery.

Such lovely staff, a welcoming atmosphere with amazing food.

Excellent food. Good value for central London. Clearing away of plates and dishes was a little too efficient at times!

It's delicious. You can eat it when you think of Thai food.

The Thai Pot probably relies on tourists who they know will never come back anyway. None of the beautiful, subtle, aromatic flavours of Thai cooking in any of the dishes we had. Just totally bland, tasteless dishes. Microwaveable Thai food is better. 1) The worst pad Thai my companion has ever had. 2) A noodle dish that was 80% bean sprouts...and utterly tasteless. It wasn't my first visit to the Thai Pot. But it was definitely my last!

Tasty food, good price and super friendly service

Been going there for over 25 years

Mi hija y yo estábamos deambulando tratando de evitar un restaurante de cadena cliché cuando nos encontramos con la olla tailandesa. Una cálida bienvenida del personal que estaba muy dispuesto a adaptarse a mi discapacidad. (Hay un escalón alto en la entrada). La comida era deliciosa y muy rápida, fui al curry de pato! El personal era muy amable y siempre a mano. No había inodoro para discapacitados, lo que me hace imaginar un poco incómodo para los menos capaces. Una comida muy agradable.

Good food. Fast service. That is the only down side of it. You are so rushed to eat and get out. The place opened at 5 and was super packed by 6. We were done eating in half hour. So if you are not in rush that is not your spot but if you really need to eat fast and catch a play this place is made for you. The food is fresh and spicy. 🌶️

Aunque estaba completamente vacío a las 6 , nos sentimos súper apresurados, tuvimos la sensación de que querían que nos fuéramos, quitándonos platos súper rápido y preguntando cada 2 minutos si queríamos algo más, estresándonos mucho a mí y a mis amigos. La comida también era sosa.

Always delicious,really efficient..we realised today we've been their customer almost 30 years!..Fab..just try it..

very welcoming people! and good food 😊

Always good to be back when visiting London!

They had a salmon dish on their outside menu that was different in the actual menu. So I went with something else. While I don’t know what happened, I ordered a meal that I didn’t get and got something else. Something random in their question didn’t click for me until it was too late. I was hungry and didn’t feel like waiting more so I just ate it. It was very good. The corn fritters and their sauce are amazing. No frills Thai. Just hope if I go back I can be sure to get what I ordered.

Went in without a booking at 6.15 pm on a sunny spring Saturday and asked if we could be quick as we had theatre tickets. They said yes - and were as good as their word. Even though they were busy, beef panang, rice and chicken Pad Thai were whisked to our table super-quickly and were freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. Great prices and atmosphere too. This is a real find - will be back!

My favourite thai restaurant in London. Such comfort food and comfort people. Never disappoints. I have recommended this to so many people and always had a positive feedback. If you are in central London, this is a must try thai restaurant.

I really like this place. The food is always good and fresh, and the cost is very reasonable. The people are friendly. It’s slightly more cafe style than fine dining, which makes it perfect for a pre-theatre meal

Although they didn't have a couple of dishes I would normally view as sacrosanct in a Thai restaurant (grilled pork neck, mango sticky rice), what they did have they did extremely well. The measure of a good Thai meal is the Som Tum, and theirs is perfect. Wait staff were all excellent, and the meal was totally enjoayable.

Very authentic Thai food - this is coming from a Thai person. The grilled chicken with sticky rice was delicious. Would come back.

Delicious food in a no frills spot tucked away just outside Cov Garden. Great service, reasonably priced & good vegan options for someone in our party.

Delicious food and fast service

Been there twice over the last few months - once for lunch, was great, so returned weeks later for dinner. Service was way too attentive - nice staff but they never leave you alone! Dish came way too fast, felt like they just wanted you to finish and leave. We ordered curry and rice, but rice arrived 5 mins before the curry. Pad Thai and fish both tasted ok, but tiny portions and definitely overpriced.

Precioso y bastante auténtico restaurante con un servicio rápido y ricos sabores que te llevan de vuelta a Tailandia. La variedad de salsas de mesa es un gran toque! La única pequeña desventaja era el menú de vinos, podría ser mejor, pero no un desacuerdo. En general, un 9. 8 / 10 experiencia! x

Fantastic authentic food Full of flavours, not greasy Quick service It was a pre-theatre dinner and we were ready well before the time! Would recommend and we will definitely go back

Do not Order an Aperol Spritz. They cost you 15£ because they make them with Champagne and do not say it in advance. The card says 6.50£ for an Aperol but its only a shot. Who drinks a Shot of Aperol???? The food was good but the size of one order not enougth to fill you up.

Buena comida. Gran servicio amable. Buena relación calidad-precio. Tan acogedor y amable que en el centro de Londres es raro. Definitivamente volveré.

I am a regular at this restaurant. The food is delicious, and the owners (and all their staff) are very warm and welcoming. They always go above and beyond to find you a table even during peak times

Saturday evening. Walked in, table for 2. Talked through my dietary requirements with a very helpful server, ordered. Food came quickly. From first taste to last it was delicious. Plenty enough for us.

Truly authentic Thai and great service. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. One thing I really liked was the assortment of spicy sauces they provide, so you can adjust the heat to your liking.

The best meal we had since arriving in London. Excellent service and wonderful people.

Comida muy buena y precio correcto.

Get there early in the evening!

Me temo que los entrantes se parecían a algo que te darían en Sainsbury's en una caja para llevar a casa y mi pad thai era un poco insípido que consistía principalmente en brotes de judías. El servicio fue muy bueno, sin embargo . . Sólo decepcionado por la comida pobre.

Great little place. Nice Thai food, not quite spicy enough but a very pleasant find.

i had the tofu larb and it was so tasty!!!! in general enjoyed the tofu A+ textures and flavours .. prices are super decent and menu is big and varied yayyy.. even cried in here but still had a great time..

Have been here in the past and really enjoyed it, tasty food and good value for money but not any more. Rushed to order from the moment you sat down. The food was horrible yes horrible. £19.99 for the shared starter 😂 then the mains were tasteless and generic. I won’t ever go back. It’s a shame as used to be a lovely little place to eat. 😞

Firstly I would always tell people about this restaurant because of how good it was so this is not the first time I have eaten there. Sadly it’s not the same place. We was asked at least five times what we wanted to eat even before we had properly settled down to our table. Then it was waiters trying to pour our wine in the glass before even ordering food. Then we ordered our food which quite frankly was so bland it didn’t taste of anything. Please avoid this place it’s not the restaurant it was

Brilliant place with the perfect Thai food at really good prices... we'd love to come back 👍

Have dined here twice and the service and food has been great both times! Service is fast, it does get busy during peak times but I have been able to be seated quickly without much wait. There is a selection of vegetarian options and staff is friendly, they assist well with dietary requirements. The atmosphere is cosy, table for two can be quite a tight fit, but this is the case with many restaurants that have the standard tables. It is difficult to fit meals on those tables. Other than that, the decor and atmosphere is very nice.

Unbelievably tasty Thai food and really kind and hospitable staff. Will definitely come again and I do recommend to anyone.

5 star the service hospitality and food is very good we had the thank you so much

The food and services are fantastic.

super tasty food and lovely service every time

We are real fans of Thai cuisine and regularly visit a small restaurant in Annecy in France where we always enjoy homemade dishes with fresh, quality products with the same pleasure. We had never found a Thai restaurant offering the same quality....until our dinner at Thai Pot!! We ate very well. The delicate flavors of coriander, peanut and lemongrass were there! We tasted delicate and balanced dishes. We also enjoyed the fresh leaf herbal tea. A very extensive menu which can make you fear frozen or non-homemade dishes... But what a pleasant surprise when we discover the freshness of the cooked vegetables and fruits! We had a blast! The waitress was attentive, concerned about our well-being and satisfaction while remaining discreet. The setting is basic, with little atmosphere suggested but the cuisine is worth the detour!!

I mean the food was good but we were scammed with a non agreed 20% tip at checkout. We split across multiple people and didn’t figure it out until we were home. Not cool.

Lovely staff and restaurant tucked away in a beautiful spot in central London. Warmly greeted and the service was quick. I did find the food very salty however, which caused me to be very dehydrated in the evening afterwards. Based on the other reviews, perhaps it was a one off issue.

Came to London on holidays with the 3 kids. Found this place , it’s so good we came back two more times. Lovely, fresh Thai food. Good ambience, fantastic staff and owners. Recommend.

I have been visiting Thai Pot for 25 years. It has remained a great place for a good quality meal, served very fast, for a very reasonable price. I will keep coming back.

Food was incredible, quick, hot, fresh. Flavours to die for. Really yummy 😋

Excellent food and staff! This is honestly my go to place every single time I go to the Coliseum... or need somewhere in the theatre district you know you will get consistently good and delicious food. The staff are friendly and professional and will offer helpful recommendations. Service is quick but this in no impacts the quality of the food. A favourite with any meal for my friend is the Coconut Rice - we have tried different variations in other restaurants, but Thai Pot does it with amazing flavour.

Quiet at lunch time, with yummy food and our dog was allowed in as well.

Fuimos a comer antes del teatro. No habíamos comido tailandés antes, así que jugamos seguro con el menú para dos. Nos quedamos muy contentos con la variedad. La comida salió caliente, servida rápidamente. Estaba delicioso, sabores distintos y realmente disfruté de las nueces picadas al lado. En general nos quedamos muy impresionados y lo recomendaría. Fue una gran opción para pre-teatro, ya que el servicio era rápido, aunque no apresurado. El personal era amable y atento. No tuvimos que preguntar sobre la reposición de bebidas, vinieron y preguntaron. La señora de la recepción / puerta era acogedor a nuestra llegada, preguntó mi nombre y utilizó mi nombre. Esto fue repetido a todos los que ella saludó. El ambiente tenía un verdadero bullicio de comensales charlando. Disfrutamos de nuestra visita y esperamos volver.

Very Delicious!Large vegetarian selection! Portions could have been bigger! All of all nice Thai Restaurant!

The soup was almost inedible- far too much lemon in it , the noodles were stodgy & bland & some of the staff were unfriendly & abrupt

Food was good but the owner/.friends were sitting behind us with a phone call on speaker full blast.

Lucky to have got a group table on walk in on a Saturday evening. Food was good. Service was fast and efficient. No bells and whistles. Just good food.

Comida increíble! Teníamos la olla de oro que venía con la muestra de aperitivo, sopa y diferentes entradas. Todo estaba muy bien condimentado y sabía tan bien!

The food quality and service has gone down considerably since 2 years. First thing is just after entering the owner announced the table needs to free in 1 hour time. Food was tasteless and seemed to be served from frozen. The fried king prawns was fried in bad oil and I had a preety bad stomach after having it. Egg rice bland again. The waiters push you to order more when you don’t want to as a deadline was given to us! After that they stopped coming to our table as we didn’t order the quantity they expected us to. Only to return after 10 minutes to take the desserts order. Never will enter this place again.

The food was great. We'll be coming again!

Terribly late delivery. Sent chicken instead of prawns. Not using this app again.

Lugar encantador para comer. Justo al lado de la plaza Trafalgar tan muy céntrico. Personal amable y encantador que es muy atento y eficiente. La comida es para morir. Tenía el curry de pato que era muy bueno. Muy recomendable. Precio competitivo.

Un paseo fuera de la calle, ya que estábamos en la zona y nos gustó la comida tailandesa. El restaurante parece bastante pequeño desde el exterior, pero es bastante grande cuando entras. El personal era amable y atento. La comida también fue muy agradable con el éxito sorpresa es la sopa Tom Kha, que nunca hemos probado antes, pero sin duda volverá a conseguir. También proporcionan algunas salsas picantes para la mesa, que van desde el tipo de picante hasta el derretimiento facial, todos los cuales son muy sabrosos. El precio no es tan malo para Londres y la comida y las porciones justificaron ese precio. Recomendar

Good authentic no frills place Always good service and warm welcome

Great Thai food, haven’t had as good a green curry in ages. Not too pricey for it’s location either.

Warm welcome and a tasty meal at a good price, but main courses all a bit too sweet

Really nice thai food and great service

Great value set lunch. Tasty food and gracious service. Calm atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great food, choice and location

Meeting and eating with my good friend

Delicious food and excellent service.

Tuvimos un almuerzo muy satisfactorio fuera de las opciones de menú establecidas. Muy sabroso, el servicio muy atento, y un precio razonable teniendo en cuenta dónde está el restaurante. Nada de quejas. Exactamente lo que estábamos buscando. Impecablemente limpio también.

Very reasonably priced lunch offer, tasty food, quick and very attentive service, few people at lunch. Excellent!

Brilliant Thai food here , authentic Thai as I am Thai , truly amazing taste like I have eaten in Thailand. Services Thai style super friendly. Highly recommend.

Th he staff are always friendly and attentive , a great place to have good Thai food

We went there for lunch and were served very quickly . The food is excellent and the personal is very friendly too. The restaurant was not overcrowded either while it is spacious and quiet pretty.

Went for dinner with a couple of friends. Great food, excellent service, really enjoyed ourselves!

The food, the environment were nice but unfortunately the service from the maitre d' was aggressive with her needs for us to order, within 30 seconds of a guest joining the table she wanted to know what they wanted before they had even seen a menu. the fellow waitresses were also asking every minute and there seamed to be this pressure for us to order and get us out the door, yet they were only half full so I don't understand why the pressure! We were asked if we want dessert but not offered the dessert menu. when we asked for the bill the card machine was slammed down on the table in an aggressive manner. service not amusing at all! not sure if I'd go back.

Perfect for meeting family for lunch. Great menu, good service and delicious dishes. Reasonably priced We recommend their Pad Thai dishes.

The best Thai food I’ve ever found.

Everyo e was very friendly, very attentive. The food was very nice, too much choice if anything.

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.

Great food and professional staff! I love how the staff greet you at the door, seat you promptly and provide menus. The food and drink is served quickly and it’s hot and flavourful. This is one of my go to restaurants before the theatre. And good prices!

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 :)

Food was delicious and service was attentive without being pushy.

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

Food really good, and good value; service very gentle and polite, although a waitress kept taking away plates when others were still eating. Generally a very good experience.

Brilliant food. Owners are very kind and welcoming

I love Thai cuisine and so does my wife. Thai pot food is no inferior to authentic Thai food. And its location is best for London Coliseum.

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
