Very strange place, so much potential it’s a shame. So much dust on the sides right next to where we were sat as seen in the pictures. Got the duck spring rolls and spicy squid to start, couldn’t taste any duck, there was the smallest piece of it. Very disappointing. Spicy squid was good but not the best I’ve had, Wagamamas is better! Chang mai beer available here. Chicken pad Thai was tasteless and unappetising after seeing all the dust. Big portion though. Service was okay, nothing to rave about. Strange layout of the place, we went upstairs, past the toilets to get to the main restaurant. Wasn’t a good vibe. Won’t be back.

The service was very slow and the staff confused our order when it arrived. The food was greasy and salty. I wouldn’t recommend. Apparently it was good once upon a time, hence our visit.

Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to sample the food. Seated at 6pm and placing our order soon after, it seems that we were pre-empted by a large group that arrived after us. Although they conned us into thinking that our meals would soon arrive, our food never appeared and with show tickets for 730, we cried " uncle" at 705, leaving without our meal. The manager apologized with a lame excuse, "sorry, we got busy". There are SO MANY food options in this area, skip this place!

Considering it’s location Thai Tho doesn't at all feel like a tourist trap. The food is delicious and boasts plenty of pride, and it’s not too costly. The service is friendly, and the amenities are clean. I've been here a few times and it’s always a pleasure.

Enjoyed a true authentic Thai dinner, the food was amazingly freshly prepared by the Thai chefs. The menu even offers a special section with Thai specialities; so take your time to make your selection which in turn will become your new favourite dish. The staff is extremely professional (and proud) and the upstairs dining room offers nice views over the buzzing Shaftesbury Avenue. Also a superb location for pre theatre dinner as a discount will be offered for early dining. Who would now that in this tourist area are hidden gems where customers are treated like Thai Royalty!

We allowed an hour and a half for dinner before the theatre. Service was very very slow. It took a very long time for any food or drinks to arrive and in the end we only got main courses with about 25 minutes left . 2 starters never arrived. . Food feedback was mixed although generally ok - sea bass dish was exceptional.

This is my third visits and I loved it here. I go out of my way to visit as I am not a local. I love their lunchtime menu at 2 courses for £14.95. But, I went there my favourite Thai dish, pas ladna/rad na. Flat rice noodles stir-fry with gravy. Serve with chicken, beef, pork, prawns and vegetables only. Do ask for drippinng tray with it. The price is very reasonable and has Thai chef so I can vouch its authenticity. There are other Thais place nearly but I go here for my all time fav. I cook this all the times at home but I would still go here for date nights and socialising. Try it for yourself.

Very good food. Polite waiters. Food arrived quickly. Sliced beef was very tasty. Stairwell and toilets could do with an update. Automatically add-on tip which is over the typical 10% - I guess that’s London - but I would have preferred this to be an option that customers choose. Would I return? Definitely. It was good to find a Thai restaurant that had decent food in the centre of London.

It's a family run restaurant and you can tell they do an amazing job as it was packed. Then you can order something to eat and be sure they do know they business. It's a cheap, clean, charming place which offers high quality tasty food. I ordered a 92 (Rad Nah I think it was) and I will tell my grandchildren about its flavour. If alzheimer hits me I will still ask for this dish randomly, it was a delight, it was also huge, there was so much food for that price it felt like stealing. Wonderful experience, best book in advance as we went in and were lucky enough it was early, I guess I spent all my luck on that and will never win the euromillions, but it was worth it.

Ein richtig guter Thai direkt in Soho, wenn man sich dann in das Restaurant ins 1. OG vorgekämpft hat. Nichts für Personen mit Gehbehinderungen, denn einen Aufzug habe ich jetzt nicht gefunden und das Treppenhaus ist super eng. Dafür ist der Gastraum recht anschaulich gestaltet und wer es bisher noch nicht wusste, der erfährt auf dem großen Bildschirm dass jetzt in Thailand auch Wein angebaut wird. Die Weinkarte ist erstaunlich gut und als Vorspeise eine Tom Yum Prawn geordert, lecker, scharf und in der richtigen Größe, das machte gute Laune und Lust auf mehr. In diesem Fall auf ein Gang Pah Beef welches ebenfalls sehr lecker war und der ganze Nachmittag ging dann mit 39 Pfund nach Hause. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für London.

Terrible customer service. At 10:50, one of the waiters came to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. At 10:51 they brought us the bill and then at 10:52 they started taking the payment. They were basically kicking us out of the restaurant. I removed the service charge (which is optional), for the same and they then came and took the plates away when I was STILL eating. Disgraceful and extremely poor customer service. I do NOT recommend this place at all.

This was our first visit to Thai Tho and we were very impressed. It is upstairs and the restaurant is surprisingly big. I chose it for dinner with friends and one is a vegetarian. Many of their dishes are available with different meats or with vegetables and/or tofu and our waiter was very helpful in giving advice on what would suit the vegetarian amongst us. He was also kind enough to point out when we had ordered enough food and didn't need any more which we appreciated. The food itself was well cooked and very tasty and the price very reasonable. We will definitely be returning.

After our second visit to Thai Tho I felt compelled to leave a review. My wife and I are on a mission to try as many Thai restaurants in London as we can, and this is something of a hidden gem for us. The back page of the menu is full of really great dishes that might be hard to find elsewhere. Today we had the Pad Prik Gluea with soft shell crab which was really good. Service is always friendly even though the staff do seem under pressure, and the setting is nice. I would say do not trust the spice ratings on the menu, it seems quite random and not accurate at all. If you struggle to get a seat in a certain over hyped spot a few doors down, this would be my recommendation.

This is what it is, a very nice Thai restaurant in the heart of London’s West End that would be good for a pre or post theatre dinner. The staff worked themselves crazy and perhaps due to their location the food came when I would expect it to, but it’s nothing special. But if you need something good before a show, you could do worst.

We went for a meal with friends on a very hot evening, and were delighted to be greeted by AC. This is a great mid range Thai in the middle of town, which can be so expensive but this felt great value. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was tasty. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the veg tempura portion was a bit small, and I'm not a big fan of TVs in restaurants but that's personal choice.

I was there after a long day working. Staff were indifferent (two of the floor staff were on their phones). When I came to pay they refused my Scottish £20 note, I asked to speak to the manager. This was embarrassing and when I spoke to the manager they blamed the staff. No offer of refund on the service charge. I would avoid this restaurant at all costs, food was (at best) average. Poor service and indifferent staff.

Had an underwhelming experience at Patara Soho. Started and mains were tasty, albeit a bit more expensive that most Thai restaurants, until we got to dessert. We got the orange chocolate tart, and it was like they just poured ready-made chocolate sauce into a ready-made tart case. Service was also so-so (we were downstairs). They didn’t leave tap water on the table, and it was hard to get the waiter’s attention to get more ware

I'm not sure why there's a double listing for this place.Ok, I loved Jane Tira--I mean, loved this place so much that we used it for our informal wedding dinner last year! As locals, we'd been going for years. It was always known for delicious, authentic food; friendly service (though a little slow at peak times); and very reasonable prices (for Soho). The moo ping here? It was to die for.When we visited two weeks ago, we saw some new faces but the decor looked the same--until we saw the menu. Weirdly enough, the branding appears to have been kept intact, and the website is now a bizarre mix of factoids and literal transcription of the menu items. I asked the waitress if Jane Tira was under new management, and she seemed confused; when I asked if this was new ownership, she said yes, but the food (and I quote) "is more better." Reassuring? Not really, as the food had been excellent before.Still, we ordered our 'don't feel like picking' from what we knew had been solid choices in the past, so we'd have an easy comparison. We went for the moo ping and corn cakes to start, then I got tofu pad see euw and my spouse got chicken pad thai.The starters took quite a while, but came nicely presented. Unfortunately, that was as good as it'd get.First sign nothing good was to come: everything was served with lemon wedges. I'm not sure why they couldn't find limes, but big sour Persian lemons are absolutely not the right accompaniment to Thai food (and yes, they were definitely lemons).Corn cakes: claggy, horribly doughy, not enough corn, too thick, not a single hint of kaffir lime leaves--which give the corn cakes their nicely aromatic flavour. Served with tragic bottled sweet sauce rather than the home-made nam chim kai we used to get.Moo ping: cold (!), limp, no grill marks, tough; the dipping sauce tasted like a weird combo of bottled sauce and discordant spices, it should have been nam jim jaew, which had previously been lusciously smoky.Pad thai: okay. uninspiring, with almost too much veg and not enough chicken, which itself was very dry. there didn't appear to be a drop of tamarind in the sauce at all, and certainly no shrimp paste, which made the whole dish taste flat.Pad see euw: I actually had to send this back, which I almost never do, because it was so charred as to be inedible--I'm not talking about 'a few noodles caught at the edges', I'm talking 'all the soy sauce was put into a hot wok and went past caramelisation into actual carbonisation, then more liquids were sloshed on top to loosen it, and all of that became the sauce' levels of nasty. A rookie mistake, and so bitter that it was impossible to swallow. I mentioned this to the server, with my apologies, and he looked a little confused; 'oh, you don't like it?' Look, if I didn't like it, I wouldn't be enough of a jerk to send it back. I said that I suspected the soy sauce had burned and hadn't been added at the right time, or perhaps the chef had been distracted, but he didn't seem overly concerned about the feedback. I asked him to perhaps just bring me tofu pad thai instead.It was as flavourless as the chicken, and the tofu wasn't even crispy. About the only consolation was the amount of toasted peanut, because I couldn't even douse it in lime juice--since I only had a giant wedge of unripe lemon.So run, don't walk, away from this place. Some developer has taken this well-loved Soho staple and turned it into some of the worst attempts at inauthentic Thai we've ever had the misery of eating.At the moment, your best bet is Rosa's a couple streets over, though the moo ping isn't a strong point (the curries, however, are excellent) or, if you want something a touch lighter, Viet Pho at 34 Greek Street, which does a pretty decent pad thai and really, really good Vietnamese food.
