Thai West Cafe

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.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

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