Thai Square at the Wig & Pen in City of London, Westminster

Buena comida y servicio. Un montón de opciones en el menú y una gran lista de bebidas para combinar. Definitivamente lo recomendaría.

Excellent food and service. Good value for money. I definitely would return to try more dishes. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable."

The food and value are great, but unfortunately the day I went with my colleagues the service was horrendous. There were only 2 girls working the entire restaurant and it showed; we struggled to get our drinks served and had to correct them a few times after they got it wronged. We also had to ask them for a wipe after the waitress spilled hot water all over our table. They also got our food order wrong, and I had to wait for my food after everyone else had been served. I would go again but only when they are fully staffed!

Excelente restaurante tailandés. A pesar de estar ocupado el servicio fue rápido y amable. La comida era deliciosa y el menú a £9. 95 o 13 libras. 95 fue una buena relación calidad-precio. Acogedor restaurante agradable. Recomendaría

El restaurante es bastante pequeño, pero muy bonito y ordenado. El personal es agradable. Hemos pedido menú que estaba en oferta por 14 libras. Gran plato compartido. Pollo en salsa de nueces de anacardo era delicioso. Cócteles sabrosos! 100% vale la pena cada céntimo gastado!

Necesitábamos verduras y decidimos en tailandés. Las comidas eran increíbles y también los cócteles. El restaurante no estaba lleno y, sin embargo, como un invitado, el personal nos colocó en el segundo nivel escondido en una esquina, lo que le quitó el ambiente y por lo tanto llevó la crítica a un 4 para la ubicación de la cena.

Dined in your Wig & Pen branch on Saturday. Only booked in as we couldn't get a table in your other branches. We had seen the one in the Minories which looked great and online most of them looked fantastic. Were so disappointed when we went into you Wig & Pen Branch. It's grubby (needs a lick of paint) or even a candle on the table, the staff (who were very helpful) but run off their feet as I could only see two women working the whole restaurant floor. The stairs to the toilet terribly steep, stock in crates on the floor and the toilets not the best. Whole place needs a lick of paint. One thing I will say, food was amazing and the girl serving us was very nice and helpful.

Brill brill brill. My Wife and I a great time. Liz said the food is amazing. Such a lovely welcoming place.

We had dumplings and chicken satay for starters, both very tasty. For our mains we had the pad thai noodles with prawn and duck curry. The duck curry was amazing - great sauce and the duck was tender and flavorful. The pad thai was delicious with the perfect combination of vegetables, prawn and spices. Very friendly staff and our server kindly pointed out that the tip was already included in our bill. Will definitely return on our next visit to London.

Great Thai restaurant for lunch stop when you can’t beat another salad or sandwich. Fixed price food for lunch was tasty and good value. It is cramped and busy so probably best not to be in a super rush.

Pleasant restaurant, lovely Thai food & fair price for London. Visited with friends during a city break & could not fault food or service. Well worth a visit.

The food is amazing . Geate service and lots of vegi dishes Highly recomended! Not expensive. Defenatly a must restorant!

Good quality and authentic dishes with friendly service. Lunch menus are good value

Wij zijn hier geweest voor een lunch. Voor 9,95 pond krijg je een Thais voor en hoofdgerecht. Het zijn alle warme gerechten geserveerd met rijst of noodles. De groene curry en kip, cashewnoten met oestersaus zijn een aanrader! De service is snel. Restaurant ingericht als een tempel, gedempt licht met kaarsen en boeddha's.

We always pre order for a quick lunch meal, the food is fine and quick. portions and quality varies on visit, sometimes the food is good, sometimes it isnt great.

As vegans we usually end up in an Indian or Thai restaurant since we know there will always be some compliant dishes that we can order. The restaurant is tastefully furnished and decorated. The building is one of the few that reputedly survived the big 1666 fire. There is a beautiful antique leaded stained-glass window with the date 1625, and it is too bad that the inscription of a blessing is mostly hidden on the inside by a row of fake orchids. We ordered tom yam soup, broccoli with garlic sauce, tofu with ginger, green vegetable curry and two orders of brown rice. Eventhough these were simple dishes, they were executed very well, with a perfect balance of flavors and spice. Having had the same dishes in Thailand many times, I can vouch that these were as good as those I had in Thailand. Some previous reviews mentioned that the portions were too small. I disagree. We were able to share the dishes between the two of us and there was more than enough. We ended our meal with the ubiquitous sticky rice with mango, which was excellent. The use of pandan leaf to flavor the rice was a lovely surprise. The rice was also not as cloyingly sweet as in some other places. Definitely worth going back to.

A group of us decided to have a take away from here, what an expensive disappointment! Firstly the portion sizes are embarrassing...you would expect at this cost to receive a bigger portion, nope... they skimp on everything! I ordered a Massaman curry...probably the worst I've ever had...it was extremely watery, sloshing around in the tiny Tupperware. There were a few undercooked hard potatoes & carrots in it and some oddly textured pieces of chicken (maybe 4 pieces). Dreadful! The portion of rice was tiny and the Fish cake starter was like eating a piece of rubber! A tiny piece of rubber at that! The rest of the group were not happy with their orders either! I just had to write a review because its an embarrassing representation of Thai food! I've been to Thailand many times,and its one of my favourite countries...the food is incredible there. Not here! Avoid! One thing I will add is that the service is good and friendly. Thats about it.

Decided to try this for a quick dinner with friends, menu looked good. This was not the reality. Very average, small portions & not particularly authentic tasting - plenty of msg. For the quality and portion sizes it was incredibly overpriced. Service was poor and the general place needed a good spruce up (grubby walls, wobbly tables) Clearly making the most of their location. The bill then automatically had the 'discretionary' gratuity of 12.5% added to it - for our meal this was nearly £22!! (4 set menus & 6 beers) When this was questioned the entire attitude of the staff changed. Will not be going back. Will not be recommending. Overall very disappointing.

La mayor decepción del viaje. Fuimos varias personas personas. - Un plato para compartir...14 con algo. Y venian MUY POCA cantidad. Ternera con piña...4 trocitos de piña minisculos. Mas cantidad o menos precio. -NO habian cartas en español. Creo que estaría bien mínimo una. - Pedimos una cosa y nos trajeron otra...(señalando la gente se entiende...pero parece que no). - Teneis que poner a que hora cierra la cocina, para que la gente de fuera lo sepa si no teneis carta en frances, español...etc. - Un pad thai....mejor con lima, limón queda cutre...(pero es vuestra casa, aun así lo mejor de los platos) !!!!Y sobretodo¡¡¡¡...mejor no poner sonrisa de oreja a oreja y en cuanto giras la cara ponerte serio. Queda muy feo. Lo vi hacer a diferentes mesas y tambien a la mia. No cal servir sonriendo falsamente....el chico y la chica eran guapos igualmente y si la calidad-precio es buena quien sonrie es el cliente. Mal. Saludos (una queja es un regalo)

This was a very spare of the moment decision to eat here as we were staying in a hotel not too far away. I noticed that this was part of chain a with lots of branches in central London. However, don't be fooled by this. The decor, layout and menu suits a totally independent restaurant. After a few drinks in Fleet St, we were given a very warm welcome and shown to our table. Food and drinks were brought out in a reasonable time. Dishes were tasty, spicy and very freshly cooked. The seafood dish was full of huge mussels and scallops - very generous on the portions! Prices were very reasonable indeed. I was extremely impressed with this place and look forward to returning again when next in London.

We had a really enjoyable meal and were looked after very well.

We got your address from your website. That website gave us the address to the other Thai Square Strand restaurant. That restaurant was fine. The boxes checked above refer to the Thai Square Strand Restaurant.

The best type of reataurant, found by accident and turned into a delightful meal. Flavours seemed quite authentic and had some spice. A great stop for dinner when walking back to our accommodation from St Pauls Cathedral.

I thought to try a pad thai as a take out during lunch and said specifically "no peanuts"Unfortunately this was not followed and my food had peanuts which is an issue. Portions are very small and not fillingNot sure I will go back again

Good place to eat if you want to be able to hear each other.

We had a fabulous dinner here. We shared Prawn Penang Curry,Grilled Fish with Tamirind sauce, broccoli with garlic and steamed rice. We loved the sorbet and deep fried ice cream too. Comfortable restaurant with friendly service.

I ate here on a business trip this month. The service was excellent, very friendly and efficient, the deep fried squid was melt in your mouth delicious and the deep fired fish was in garlic with spinach was fab. I would certainly go again.

Lovely food, I had the Jungle curry and it was fabulous. Went with hubby, brother and his wife and we all enjoyed the food. Service was lovely, and not rushed. Restaurant nice and clean. Staff polite, and not too pricey. Would defo go again.

Always go for the set lunch and have no complaints whatsoever. Tasty food with just the right amount of spice, very good service!

Another excellent trip to this branch of Thai Square. We all really enjoyed the food here and service was sharp despite it being very busy.

Average Thai restaurant geared up for tourists not food connoisseurs.

I have been a fan of the Thai Square chain for many years but this was my first visit to the Wig & Pen and it didn't let me down.The sweetcorn cakes were delicious, as was the chicken massaman and sticky rice. The waitress was very attentive and topped up my water without being asked. The service was speedy and yet we didn't feel rushed when we sat and chatted for a long time after finishing.The restaurant is small but lovely. Thoroughly enjoyable and I will definitely go back.

Was in London for a few days and this Thai restaurant was close to the hotel. Picked up take out here one night and the food was delicious. I got the garlic shrimp and a side of broccoli. If I'm ever in London again, I will definitely be back.

After the sister restaurant on the strand was closed because of a kitchen problem we found our way here. Lovely green curry (chicken is breast meat which I prefer) and vegetable spring rolls which were a bit over fried. Service efficient as always. Though it's always crowded they do a nice job of seating so you can talk to who your with.

Lovely chicken cashew and green curry. Quick en friendly service. Real Thai experience. Rich menu with variety of Thai dishes.

As we searched for an asian restaurant me and my friend found this little restaurant, which at first seemed less visited. Well, it was great we both ate curry, with duck and beef. Rice and Sauce was served in separate bowls. We would both agree it was real tasty and recommend you to try it too. Service and price was average.

We were a table of 9 celebrating Christmas and there were a few vegetarians amongst us who were adequately catered for as the restaurant can produce a vegetarian version of most of their dishes. Will definitely return.

Was surprised that it wasn't as packed as usual, particularly for a Friday. The food was great value once again - went for the £13.99 express lunch offer - and also delicious. Strongly recommend the soft shell crab.

Have eaten here a few time with colleagues and it offers fantastic lunch time deals. The only downside is that it can get busy so service can be a bit patchy.

This time our group went for the £9.95 deal and were still impressed even though it's the cheaper menu. Definitely recommended for a cheap and cheerful lunch.

Very reasonable cost for a good meal; service quick, efficient and friendly.

We called in here for a late lunch. This Thai restaurant is located in a beautiful old building just opposite from the Royal Courts of Justice and we were lucky enough to have a window seat to watch the world go by. We had the 2 course lunch special which was very good. We had duck spring rolls and butterfly prawns for starters, which were both lovely and then my wife had the Pad Thai, which she thought was OK, and I had a very good curry. Along with a couple of Singha beers this was a very pleasant lunch and I would definitely eat here again.

Having enjoyed Thai food for the last 20 years we finally visited Krabi last year ... And the delicious food tasted and presented just as they do at the wig and pen.!

Even though it's part of the Thai Square chain, this restaurant retains lots of individual charm. Had a really pleasant Friday lunch here with work colleagues, will be returning.

We ate here before an outdoor concert at Somerset House, walked from Waterloo station and got there in 20 minutes. 2 starters, chicken satay & dumplings, very nice, especially the dumplings and then a green curry & a panang, also very good. friendly welcome, attentive service and if we are up that way again we will go back. probably a 4.5

Booked to eat here but when we arrived the entrance was filthy and piled up with rubbish. Did not give me confidence to take my family to eat there.

Food is great, service is great, nice ambience but last time two of our plates had huge chips in them - it really doesn't look very nice Thai Square - throw the chipped ones away!

Pre-concert meal: quick, efficient and very pleasant.

Very accommodating to address the needs of a group of 27 (we took over the entire restaurant) prior to going to the Novello Theatre to see Mamma Mia. Friendly & efficient service, tasty food.

My wife and I were booked in at 17:30 on Saturday 21st February 2015 before going to the Savoy theatre for a 19:30 show, after strolling around parts of London we thought we would arrive early. We were politely greeted and seated straight away. After reviewing the menu we ordered drinks (cocktails) 'Inter Thai' and 'Wig & Pen Delight' which were sweet and excellent. The food was also excellent arriving promptly, fresh and hot (temperature). We ordered chicken, chicken/mushroom and coconut soup, pork and beef dishes, all were very tasty including the sauces which were served in separate dipping bowls to the dishes. The spice levels were also accurate reflecting the one chilly rating in the menu, although we did have some water on stand by just in case. The dishes ranged of various levels of spice depending on what is ordered for all tastes. To finish the meal my wife had Jasmine Tea and I opted for Fresh Mint Tea, both were a refreshing end to the start of a wonderful evening.Many thanks to the staff for a lovely meal we will certainly visit again in the future.

Quick service. Table available on a Saturday night (it was early)Great food, really fresh and delicious.They automatically add service 10% to your bill but it was worth every penny!We will be back

I regularly eat at Thai square restaurants scattered around London , but Only recently stumbled upon this cosy little branch just by temple station. Looking from the outside you wouldn't think it to be a Thai restaurant, looked more like building from the 17th century (in a good way) was later informed by the manager that is was a listed building as it was the only building in the area to survive the fire of london (awesome). Back to the food, my wife and I ordered our usual pad Thai and green curry, and it was amazing, the curry was thick and not watered down like other restaurants and the pad Thai was cooked to perfection, the service was also very good, my glass of water never dipped below halfway! Price be expected from a high end restaurant but definitely worth the money. All in all great little restaurant

One of my favorite thai resturants that i love to come to regularly... I usually have starters followed by a main course which usually comes quickly and without any problems, lovely atmopshere followed by welcoming waitresses... Prices are reasonable for the high quality food. Overall i would love to recommend this resturant to everyone thats into thai food.

really a rue advise to everyone, DO NOT go to this restaurant!!!! They are black restaurant who cheat your money!!!! we only ordered one starter and two main dishes, it costed us £47!!! almost £50. the fried rice we ordered suppose to come along with prawn, vegetable, egg and chicken, served with chicken satay and peanut sauce. instead, i only got chicken and egg fried rice!!! when i questioned them, they justified that food price has gone up, so less ingredient is included in the dish !!!! the simple dish cost £8 then another dish is prawn (2nd dish under chef recommendation in the menu ) which cost £14.... what i got is actually FOUR prawns only !!! can you imagine each tiny prawn cost me ard £4.5????? if you really have a lot money to spend, you can simply go to duck and waffles or any other high standard restaurant which gives you a good quality food with good view and service .... REALLY I STRONGLY URGE EVERYONE DO NOT WASTE MONEY IN SUCH RESTAURANT !!!!

Took a colleague for a quick lunch at Thai Square and neither of us were disappointed. Good choice of dishes, good wine and great value for money

Had a miserable meal yesterday in the Wig & Pen. Our veggie starters weren't veggie... so went back to the kitchen. When my wife's (veggie) main course arrived, it was inedibly chilli-laden - chef's revenge, one assumes. My seafood main (£13.95) featured 11 miserly pieces of fish - a starter at best. When the bill arrived, it still had the meaty starters on it (so was another £3 higher than it should have been). Not bothering to query it, and taking pity on the miserable-looking waitress, I still chucked in a few quid over the obligatory service charge as a tip... which she then picked through while peering maliciously at me, as though I'd tried to rip her off. Grim throughout - never again.

Great value for money if you have the pre theatre menu which is from 5.30-7.30 pm.

On a re - union trip to London and in particular this area, I revisited my old haunts from days in Fleet Street as a journalistas well as student, during the 1960s, 1970s, upto 1999. I onlymade a quick visit but nonetheless enjoyed the food and drink, but it was a time when there were many tourists and the ambience was not quite to my liking. But I am still glad I made the effortand gave the time. Slightly expensive for the service given.

Very nicely presented and tasty food and excellent service. Particularly appreciated the willingness to provide tap water and ice with good grace and replenish our glasses throughout the meal.

Small but atmospheric, good lunch menu at very reasonable prices. Ideal for a quick lunch who appreciate good food.

Everything I visit my family in the UK I have to come and eat at Thai Square. The closest one is 20 mins away but I choose the one opposite the Royal Courts of Justice as the food is tast and staff very attentive. Thank you

Everything, everything, is mediocre at this restaurant. Surely there are better Thai choices in London.

We went at the Thai Square last week, at the first night of our trip to London. It was an overall good experience. The food was really good, and I would personally recommend the coconut chicken soup and the duck with strawberries as they were delicious. A main advantage of the restaurant is the until late open kitchen (22:30). The stuff were really helpful and friendly.

Great Thai meal and quick service. Happened to be there in time for their Early Bird Menu (5.30pm - 7.30pm) and had a great value, tasty meal.

I went with my husband during lunch time on a Monday to change the monotony of everyday lunch.This is not a high end restaurant, but it served it's purpose. We had a different lunch that was tasty and at a relatively good price. We ordered the box and it was enough food. The thing I like the most is the chicken soup with coconut. For travelers, this is a good option, instead of having sandwich and/or soup.I would recommend it, not for nice couples dinner, but for a quick but nice lunch, yes.

We went to this Thai square just before a theatre show so we needed quick service which we told them when we walked in. they did not disapoint, the food came out very very quick (they did only have 1 other big party at the time) but the fact that they served us so quickly was much appreciated! i had the chicken green curry and it was delicious! i would definitely recommend it!We were slightly late arriving but they weren't busy so said that was fine!overall a very very enjoyable meal!

Nice range of food across each of the menus, plus a la carte if none of that appeals. Easy to pack a good lunch in to an hour. Accommodating staff.

We eat here regularly, like the set lunch menu. Very good value for money & we can be in & out in an hour. All the curries taste great. However, the service can be a bit poor at times.

Great food and the service was very fast as we told them we had a theatre show to see. The Thai green curry was amazing! And price was pretty good too! Would definitely go again!

Great thai food and at a very reasonable price. Never disappoints!

This is the second time I've had a bad experience at this restaurant this year. The service is appalling and the attitude of the staff is not acceptable as a paying customer. The restaurant is very small. I have just returned from lunch with a good friend and not only was the service awful, but the food was revolting as well. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone - just hope I don't see the food again later.

great value for money, pad thai is delicious!

I have been to this particular Thai Square (Fleet St) many times and have to say I was very disappointed on this occasion. The service was appauling, staff were very rude and the food was not as good as normally is. I understand they were short of staff but there is no excuse for rudness. I will not be going to this restaurant in future and will not recommend to friends and family.

good place, fast service and tasty food!

Went here recently for a quick bite, the service is very speedy, efficient and friendly. The food is spicy but very tasty, would go back again.The place is not somewhere to go if you want a leisurely evening out, as tables are small and its quite small inside, but nevertheless I would go back there!

As always, a great dining experience. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Brilliant service and really delicious Tom Yum soup, the chef's specialties were delish and all was good value.

The rather cramped rooms are not conducive to a long, leisurely occasion. But if you want a good and reasonably-priced Thai meal it's fine. Large portions. Very nice staff.

Always been nervous about trying Thai food as I thought it would be too spicy for my pallet, but being on holiday and feeling like an adventure into the unknown I gave this place a try. Lovely experience, great chicken satay and pad Thai noodles. Delicious prawns. The curry was a little hot but the Thai beer helped cool and anaesthetise me! Really enjoyed it and glad I had the courage to venture in here.

The people here were very warm and made us feel welcome, even to the point of charging our phones. The food was fantastic and I will definitely be visiting again!

As always, Thai Square offers good quality Thai food at reasonable prices.

Found this restaurant by accident as needed to eat prior to my birthday party in the area. Decent food,though why a lot of Thai places do not use authentic ingredients I don't know. They are easy to get hold off! Nice food,good service. Watch out for the service charge!! Not really happy about that.

Food was pretty good with some pretty hot prawn crackers to start - not free as a lot of Thai restaurants do!! Service pretty good; it is a pretty intimate place!!! Only down side toilets not good especially men!!! A new bin would not go amiss!!!

Lovely food and service is usually fairly quick.

Have visited Thai Square at the Wig many times and it is always great value traditional Thai food. Service is good too.

Very good quality and worth your money. Great service and atmosphere. Will recommend to others and will be back soon.

After walking in and saying I had a reservation, we were shown to the table but our food and drink orders were not taken for some time. The food was good, but the service wasn't the smoothest or quickest, which was made worse considering it wasn't a very busy night. Although I booked at The Strand venue, I had walked into the Fleet Street venue, which wasn't made aware to me at all.

Good food and service, but they did not inform us that they had a special lunch offer, so we paid twice the amount that was needed for the same food. this is why i would not recommend this restaurant.

This is a lovely little restaurant based on Fleet Street, offering the usual fabulous Thai Square food. I would highly recommend. Always very good vegetarian options.

Never disappoints. Great value and fantastic food.

Went here with a group of friends and had a really good meal. Four of us had the Silver Set Menu which was an excellent choice. Would recommend for service, atmosphere and food.

I booked this restaurant for lunch with a friend who I hadn't seen for a while, as it was near to where I work and neither of us had a lot of time. It was extremely crowded, with tables crammed in, our table being about 6 inches from the next, and very difficult to have any conversation knowing everything was overheard by the next table, just as we heard every word of their conversation. This might have been acceptable if the food was exceptional, and clearly the restaurant is very popular as it was very busy. However our food was pretty mediocre, and the atmosphere was rushed and very unrelaxing. All in all the experience was not what we had hoped for and I would be reluctant to return unless there were no other options.

Thai square is Thai square! its like Thai fast food. The quality is good and the price good, but use it for a quick lunch or a casual meal, not a formal business dinner or romantic meal to impress!!!

Went with a group of five and quite enjoyed it. Service was rather slow, it took fifteen minutes for a server to first show up and take our drinks order, however it was fine after that. Portions were decent without being too large, and unlike many Thai places each of our dishes had a rather unique look and taste. The crispy duck starter was tiny, however, barely fit for two people, which isn't what you want, but all our mains were terrific, and do NOT skip the desserts.

I have been to this restaurant several times and it's never let me down. The food as always was great as was the service. I would highly recommend it.

not impressed with the polace, food arrived late, staff not very friendly

I only work a few doors away and find all the staff really friendly they always have a welcoming smile when I arrive, I've eaten lunch here on numerous occasions and the chicken fried rice is not to be missed. The sea bass is perfectly cooked and tasty. Perfect for a quick lunch.

We had been talking about this restaurant with friends last night so just thought I would have a look at the reviews.I have not been for around a year but have been three times before that.The service was good and the food was excellent, that's why we go back each time we visit London.I would avoid the gold set menu unless you're really hungry, we usually have the silver one.Great Thai food and reasonably priced - I presume the food is the same at other Thai square restaurants in London which have glowing reviews, this one might be getting left out due to its location however we like the walk down fleet street and the restaurants interesting exterior.

Ever since visiting Thailand many many years ago, I fell in love with the food and the powerful taste of the spice used and have tried many of Thai restaurants in the UK.The locationThe location of the restaurant is just to the left of the bridge (Waterloo) from the strand side. it is a few shops along. From the outside it is pleasant and the décor inside is ok, slightly tired but still nice.MenuThe menu is vast with many different varieties available & set meals etc. the pricing for London, would have to say is reasonable. Only gripe I would have to say the menus are boring to view through and need a good clean to remove the stickiness upon themServiceWe have always turned up without booking and they have managed to squeeze us in with not a long wait. Staff are very busy and dealt with us promptly. They took the orders from us shortly after being seated, and in no time the food arrived piping hot.FoodThe food is well presented and piping hot, however from different visits found that the portion size has varied and some with less meat in than others. We had the pad Thai noodles found these to be nice, bland I would say compared to last time. Order the satay chicken for starters, these were not nice, the chicken was tasteless and the sauce wasn't much either. disappointed with these dishes this time, but main course went for the curry (red) this was better. its a shame that some days are better than others.OverallThai restaurant near the Waterloo bridge & Theatres. Have to say not the overall best thai we have visited but average food if in a hurry to the theatres nearby. I hope the standards do increase slightly along with portion control and not rely on the London tourist, one in one out scenario.
