Thai West Cafe in City of London, Westminster

My first time at this cafe. It was the lunchtime and I had two meals and rice, chicken Massaman and chicken panang, from the buffet . Both really nice, very tasty and plenty of it too. Good price at around £10 . Would highly recommend this place for Thai food, and plan on returning soon.

I find the food to be average but the restaurant is clean and the service good.

Very good pad thai, both with chicken and shrimp, medium spicy, with a lot of meat, served quickly and efficiently. I recommend the place for a quick lunch or dinner.

A reliable Thai canteen on Brewer St, just behind the Whole Foods store. Really affordable. Tasty. Can’t beat their cost performance in this W1 location. I recommend this place for anyone who’s looking for a quick meal in the area.

Fast, healthy, tasty and above all very affordable, especially for the portion size you get

Fire. We had our name on an hour-long waitlist down the street and I am so glad we came here instead. Hole in the wall family run restaurant with the tried and true Thai offerings. Small menu and maybe they don’t serve any alcohol (?) but everything we ate was so perfect we even ordered a second serving of the drunken noodle. Good to support smaller businesses amongst a street of more commercial spots. We’ll definitely be back x

Pad thai here is great. Halal options available for chicken. Very good portions too.

Absolutely amazing lunch deal. Food is great too hopefully the prices don't hike up like everywhere else in London though.

Very fast, great service and food!

Great food at very reasonable prices,

A lovely place with genuinely good and kind hearted people -hard to find in today's world-!! the food is a kulinary experience and most definately worth a visit when in London!!!

I normally go here all the time for lunch but i won’t be going again. I ordered green chicken curry and the chicken was raw inside. The chicken is normally slightly pink but never raw in the middle which it was. It’s a shame because i did really like this place for a thai curry but i wont be going back.

The closest this gets to Thai cuisine is the chilli flakes I got on the side, good food for after a night out and fairly priced, but as a Thai I was upset, this is not Thai food.

Tasty food quickly, with a good variety (not too much hassle). Kind and welcoming service.

Easy, fast, good value, healthy and pick on the spot ready dishes with one to three toppings on rice or noodles. Will be one of my regular lunch stops whenever I’m in the area. Good food and will come again, highly recommended! Had the chicken satay (well marinated chicken and good peanut sauce!) and chicken curry, will try out other dishes too!

Tasty, cheap and fast! Quite convenient for being in central London.

Amazing small cafe, great food and service

The food is very tasty and the price is very reasonable. Generous portions. They accept credit cards. Small but charming dining room. No toilets on site, so it’s not a restaurant to stay for very long

Ristorante a 2 passi da Piccadilly Circus, piccolo ma molto pulito…cucina molto buona e piatti abbondanti… servizio rapido… ci ritornerei sicuramente!!!

Very delicious pad thai, lots of quantity and good price. It's a little spicy. The staff is very kind and friendly

One of the best Thai lunch spots in Central London......I make sure I eat there every time I'm around Mayfair or Soho. Great great value for money and the staff are always super efficient. Food is just brilliant.

Food here is good but not great. We still would recommend because TWC is also very affordable considering the huge serving portion. Our fried fish with chilli sauce and the Pad Thai were both tasty. We certainly would return again for a quick meal.

so pleased! simple, so frills, Thai food! Green curry was amazing!!

A small, no frills Thai place that's great value. We had Green Veg Curry...and wow it was good. Not for anyone that isn't into very spicy, but it's sooo tasty!

Small & cute Thai spot, with absolutely amazing food!

Cracking food. Basic no frills cafe feel, but if you're in the area and fancy Thai (and can find a table) then the food is very tasty and the portions generous.

Amazing is one of the words that best describes this place, it was definitely an experience that I want to repeat again and again. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and the portion size was just right. On a Saturday morning from 10:45am all the way through till closing time, the food standards stay amazing. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.

Pricing was good. Food was decent.

Cosy and affordable place with authentic Thai food. I had Tom Kha coconut soup made with lemongrass and other herbs - rich, slightly sweet, and delicately spiced. Very comforting and exotic at the same time.

Great value for money. £4.50 for the soup. They were happy to swap out the chicken for vegetables in the soup. The lighting and decor could be better admittedly. Great if you’re at a loose end.

Great no frills Street style cafe with great food at good prices in soho . Nice people and big portions , well worth a stop if you're hungry and in a hurry . Very pleased to find this place . Thanks.

Fantastisk lille sted, god mad til lave priser, kan virkelig anbefale stedet.

I was in London with my sisters for the pre Christmas get together. We had burger earlier. Wanted to eat proper food. We came across Thai west cafe by chance, and most places seem to do cash only, but they accepted card. Not the biggest place but not bothered by that. The two ladies running it were very nice. Food was excellent, we had two chicken masseman curry, one Thai green curry (HOT) we did ask as like heat in our Thai green. all dishes were great tasty and filling, rice was good amount too. Prawn crackers are sold in little bags plain for spicy. They all so do tea and coffee soft drinks which were a good price Can £1, bottle 500ml 1.50. Reasonable price for London main meal plus rice and bottle of pop under £15.00 Would keep in mind to eat here again when back in London.

Kaget enak banget, karyawannya juga sopan , sigap dan baik. Sangat rekomen 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 biar bintang berbicara

We tried to walk in tonight with our children to have dinner. We have been clients for many years and we have been no longer than 3 weeks ago there for dinner on Saturday. We were sent away by the lady at the counter. She told us it was all booked. Not a single table had the "Reserved" sign on it, I just checked online and this restaurant is not on any website with system for restaurants' reservation. I am in shock.

Amzinng food with reasonable price.. good customer service…

Nice for a quick lunch. Good for lunch. Small seating area: quick lunch and run. Quite convenient location in SOHO.

Had been in London overnight, and had enough of rubbish ‘fast food’ so was looking for something different, saw this little cafe and couldn’t resist. Simple menu, choose your base of plain or spicy rice (Pad Thai is also available for a small price), then add your toppings. We went for spicy rice (delicious) with 1 topping, I had massaman curry, my wife had chicken with cashew nuts, add a couple of cans of ginger beer and it came to £20, an absolute bargain for London. Great portion size, I struggled to finish mine. Constant footfall as takeout is also available (if taxi drivers eat here, it’s always a good sign of good food/great value). Will be back next time I’m in London.

Good canteen-level food at a reasonable price. Can’t complain

The best Thai food…..tasty and full of flavours. Very generous portion sizes!

Food is delicious! We had spicy fillet fish, chicken in green curry and soup with coconut - delicious! The spicy fish is the best. We got there late afternoon so maybe food prep took a bit of time. It’s a simple eatery with around 4 tables and a bar setting that sits 4 - being by the window that faces the street, it’s a cozy set up. Not a fancy place , tucked somewhere near Regent street, and the food is what we expect good Thai food to be.

Lovely little spot just a short walk from Chinatown. Amazing food and not overpriced.

Such a nice place! Really kind guy that opened this and probably best value for money in all of Soho. Take away and sit in.

Really generous portions and cheap for London. It’s more Thai food for an English pallet, not so authentic but still very delicious.

Amazing food! Very quick service.

Top food, small but clean and friendly service. Price quality is really good. Nothing to complain. Located in tourist area but not touristic at all. 10 of 10p

¡Nos ha gustado mucho! Pedimos un curri verde delicioso, pato a la salsa Tamarindo y dos rollistas de verano con pato. También pedimos té helado tailandés y sabía cómo en Tailandia. Muy recomendable

I really like this place. Probably the best value place in the area.

Found this restaurant on a trip into London with the family. Our Mother has a lot of food allergies so finding somewhere to eat can be challenging. They took great care to tell us all the ingredients and make sure that the food was safe. There was an incident of organized theft nearby while we were waiting for our food and a mob of people ran by screaming. The owner was calm and collected and made sure everyone was inside and felt safe before explaining what had happened. We returned a week later and the owner recognized us and talked with us for a while. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is good, and the price can't be beaten in Soho. Beyond all of that the owner is one of the most genuinely kind people I met in London.

First off the spicy fish is amazing my favorite dish here. My family loves their massaman curry. One of the most reasonable price places to eat in SoHo. The staff and owner are very friendly and welcoming. If there tables are all full just take away and enjoy their food at Golden Square around the corner. On my first visit their my wife and kids were ordering take away while I was around block. During this time there was an organized theft/riot that went down the street. It happened so fast but the owner was quick to react and got my family into the restaurant to safety and locked the doors. Once everyone was safe inside he calmly explained what was going and that they were ready for such an incident. I am so grateful for the owner and staff for this. A week later my wife and I went back to pick up some lunch. When we walked in the owner instantly recognized us and asked how the kids were doing and how’s the family. Just amazing people making amazing food in London! Don’t skip on the spicy fish!!!!! Thank you Thai West Cafe!

Can’t get enough of this little hidden gem! Simple, authentic, delicious Thai food at a very reasonable price in the heart of central London. I would eat it everyday, especially for the value and friendly staff. I am now a regular! Thai West, don’t change!!

Happened to be passing by when we were hungry before a theatre matinee on a Saturday. There was a decent turn over of customers, all ordering tasty-looking food. The concept is simple - choose a base (rice or noodles etc) and either one, two or three main dishes. We had two mains and a plain rice each and ate in - it came to £10 each. We would come again.

Generous helpings of tasty Thai food for a fair price. Simple choice - rice or noodle plus 1,2 or 3 toppings for £9, 10 or 11. Take away is slightly cheaper Green curry is decently hot all dishes were good. Inside is simple decor and seats only 15.

Good price (£8-£10) and well served. I recommend it a lot.

Thai West Cafe was an amazing find. Authentic and delicious Thai food. The food was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. The staff was so caring, helpful, and understanding when there was an unexpected event that resulted in us needing to change from take away to eat in. They were very conscious of our allergies and wanted to make sure they got it right. The owner was wonderful! He is definitely making his mom proud!!

Delicious Thai food and fantastic service! The owner and staff were so welcoming! There was an incident in the streets while we were ordering that startled the adults and greatly upset the children in our group. The owner and staff made sure we were safe and offered us free drinks and snacks to calm our nerves and comfort the children. We had ordered take away to take to the park, but they offered to let us stay because of the situation and were very accommodating. We even offered a tip for their kindness which they refused insisting that it's what anyone would do, but it was far beyond what most would do! Besides the hospitality the food was so good! Excellent flavor, fresh food, good portion sizes and a perfect level of spice! Everyone in our group was pleased with the dish they chose and came away with full, happy bellies! We found out the restaurant was started 20 years ago by the current owners mother. She should be proud of the wonderful son she's raised and the legacy in the excellent food and service her son continues to offer! I would definitely recommend if you enjoy Thai food and would absolutely return if I have the chance!

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Porzioni abbondanti e servizio gentile. Diverse opzioni vegetariane e vegane. Consigliato per un pranzo veloce e delizioso in zona Piccadilly.

Sitio maravilloso y muy recomendable. Precios desde £10.5 por un Pad Thai. Es un sitio muy céntrico y los empleados son agradables. Las raciones son muy grandes.

Wandering through Covent Garden/Soho looking for a tasty but reasonably priced place for dinner after visiting the Globe theatre. Came across this place and so glad we didn't give in to the other places before. Very tasty, lovely staff, good sized portions and very reasonably priced (not just "for London")

This is a hot take given all the positive reviews but I thought the food was mediocre. It's more of a cafeteria than a cafe in that the food is pre-made and you just walk up to the counter and point to what you want them to dish out to you. I'm rounding up to 4 stars because it's cheap and the servings are large. I didn't think the food was spicy or particularly flavorful.

Great food will be going again :)

Best value for money for the area, decent portions for the price. Like that they keep the food relatively spicy and don’t cater to much to the English palette. Chicken is halal which is great, however, it’s not the best quality (texture and taste as slightly off), would give 5 stars if they used a better supplier. Spicy rice could be a bit less plain, maybe add some veggies, egg etc. Noodles were decent. Some side sauces would have been a great addition. Would recommend the spicy fish & would come back again. Thanks!

Amazing place. Fantastic food lovely service.

My go to place for a quick lunch when in Soho. Food is fabulous and doesn't cost the earth. Recommended

Highly recommended! Good price with good food! We had several dishes here, everything is perfect! Tom yum soup is amazing!

It’s one of the most affordable places to eat around central London, they have a wide range of Thai curries and fried chicken options which you can combine with rice or noodles, they also do pad Thai, it’s very affordable and quantities are huge. It used to be cash only but they have recently started accepting cards. There is some seating inside but not too spacious so better to grab a takeout and have it in the nearby park.

What a fabulous find! The space is tight, but the food is amazing!!!!! We have had a lot of this on London & no place tops Thai West!

This is a convenient food establishment, not expensive and good size dish, a place to a one dish meal

Great little place in Central London for affordable Thai. The food was good and the atmosphere was basic- it is a cafe experience, not restaurant. My only gripe was crackers served in plastic bags. Not very environment friendly. Other than that staff were great and brilliant location.

They became more expensive. The waitress was friendly, the food was okay, it was not my favorite but I guess that’s personal taste. The portions are REALLY big, I didn’t eat all of it

Always great food and great value

My fave place for a treat lunch when I’m at work but devastated to go the other day and they have put their prices up. Will not be able to go as often because of this. :(

If you want to eat good Thai just go! I went and I don’t regret it at all! Workers are just so nice and the food? I loved it… Very charming place with very nice people…

le service est rapide. la nourriture est excellente. l’équipe du restaurant est très sympa et agréable. tres bon rapport qualité-prix

This little place was a gem! Delicious food, served unbelievably fast! I was there on a cold evening and it warmed me right up! Service was so friendly and I would eat again here in a heartbeat!

Os pratos com 3 toppings são enormes e custam 11 libras. É possivel dividir! A comida é deliciosa ... recomendo fortemente! Pegamos 2 pratos com frango e um curry.

Si mangia bene piccante spendendo poco. Riso normale o piccante con condimenti inkre, nel complesso lo reputo draniano. Bibite a un euro

Great - buffet was closing so had some buffet and another mains (spicy fish) very tasty and good value. Do not go near 5pm as the buffet closes and service is a little slow…

Great Thai food, perfect for a relaxing shopping break! Rice or noodles with a variation of different toppings. Hard to choose only two or three because it all tastes so delicious!

Very Happy tasty food @ great price

היה ממש טעים והמוכרת היתה ממש מקסימה

Very nice staff and helpful with my order. I’m vegetarian so I only had limited options but I got excellent help so I still had a good meal. I could even remove the spice!

Best thai in the area, huge portions very filling, gluten-free rice and curry options

Great food,service is always great but sometimes food a bit salty but good portion and they accept cash or card.

I don't understand how this place manages to fly under tehr radar. Its really, really good. Went in the evening with the Mrs, had two hearty plates of good, traditional Thai food (easy to share one plate for two), payed less than £30 and the attention to detail and care of the service was amazing. Truly a hidden gem, I'd hurry and go there before if explodes and you need to wait an hour outside to get a place, surely will happen in a few months...

Had the Massaman chicken curry. Very delicious and friendly staff, genuinely nice. Goes the extra mile to make you feel good.

Amazing pad Thai! Wonderful service and cute atmosphere!

Great food, great service, and super fast!

맛있어요! 채식 옵션 여러 개 있음. 무엇보다 양이 엄청 많이서 남자 혼자 다 먹기도 힘들 정도? 처럼 보였어요. 사진은 스파이시 라이스랑 스팀 베지터블! 추천합니다. 다시 갈 예정 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I had no idea how to order from this place, but the employees were so kind and welcoming I felt my imposter syndrome melt away. Their suggestions were incredibly helpful and the food was delicious, 5/5 customer service and food. Thank you!!

Delicioso crêpe banana - chocolate . Personal muy amable . Lo recomiendo

Tiny place, but great tastes and value. Fantastic staff as well!

كان الطعام رائع والكرم واضح جدا جميع العمال يعملون بابتسامة والمعاملة جيدة خيارات جيدة ومنوعة تاكدنا من كون الدجاج حلال ويطها في اوعية خاصة

Had lunch there with a friend, we both had rice and 2 toppings and were pleasantly surprised by the price. The flavours felt authentic and not too heavy. Staff were really helpful and had great suggestions. Would definitely come back, my only downside is they're only open for the lunch hours but seems to do delivery so maybe we'll give that a go next time!

This little Gem of a restaurant is the perfect place to taste some incredible authentic Thai food. It is also the perfect place to try something new, you literally cannot go wrong! Watch for the spice though ;)

Great thai place with really good service. The staff were friendly and nice and the food was really nice. Would definitely recommend visiting this place if you are looking for a great thai restaurant.

good value for the price with a good selection of options.

This place has no logic and mid tier food. First red flag was cash only. But okay whatever took the walk to the cash point. Then I had to pay £2 extra to sit inside, okay whatever. But when I asked for a takeaway bag for my leftovers they wouldn’t give me one without charging me!? Despite it being cheaper to get a take out option in the first place. 0 logic and way too much hassle for mediocre food.

Great value with generous portion sizes. A nice variety of options. The servers were nice and explained how everything worked clearly.

Cheap and great taste, great place for a quick lunch meal. They served already made big portion dished. You can choose one to three portions of topping with rice or noodles up to 10 pounds. Consider the taste, the big portion, and the location, it...
