About Thai Tho Soho
Thai Tho Soho serves Thai food from the second floor of 42 Rupert St, near Shaftesbury Avenue in Soho. The kitchen runs classic curries, noodles and stir fries, including pad Thai and chicken massaman curry, alongside a papaya salad and a mixed platter starter. Pork Rad Na also appears on the menu, and the chicken feet hot and sour soup gives regulars a less common option beyond the standard curry list. Seating is walk-in, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the authentic Thai cooking, with several saying it is the closest they have had outside Thailand. One compares the pork Rad Na to their mother's version, and another calls the papaya salad the best they have had in the UK. Close behind are the king prawn pad Thai, chicken massaman curry with jasmine rice, a mixed platter starter and great cocktails, while one diner singles out the chicken feet hot and sour soup. Friendly service and affordable prices come up repeatedly, and one reviewer says it doesn't feel like a tourist trap. The complaints are specific. One reviewer's vegetable pad Thai arrived with tofu they had not ordered, along with barely cooked broccoli, hard carrots and noodles stuck together. Others mention stale rice, a forgotten request for chilli flakes, and an atmosphere that isn't that cozy, with the food called fine takeaway quality. One group was still served late in the evening when other places would have turned them away.

“Ordered Pad Thai with vegetables it came with Tofu which I didn't order. I've been to loads of restaurants serving Pad Thai and it's always been delicious so reading reviews thought this would be extra good. Broccoli was hardly cooked couldn't even cut it, carrots although a fancy shape I was chewing for ages because they were so hard. Only ate the noodles tasted okay but instead of being individual noodles were all stuck together. Won't be going here again.”

“When you’re far away from home, finding food that reminds you of home is the best feeling. 🇹🇭 I found this place on Google Maps, and it wasn’t far from our hotel, so we decided to pop in. The restaurant is on the second floor, so it’s a bit hidden, but definitely worth finding. The staff were really lovely, and it was so nice being able to speak Thai with them. I ordered the pork Rad Na, and honestly.. The flavour reminded me so much of the one my mum makes back in Thailand. It was comforting, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The only thing missing was some chilli flakes. I asked one of the staff, and she said she’d bring them over, but I think she forgot. It really wasn’t a big deal though, as they were busy with a large table. I still finished the whole dish because it was that good! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. If you’re reading reviews because you’re looking for genuine, authentic Thai food, I really recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed”

“Loved this little gem, just off of Shaftesbury Avenue. Went in before seeing a show - next time will take .are time to be able to eat more of the delicious food. Staff were amazingly friendly, and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely go back again.”

“Stopped for dinner after a hot, busy day in London, before getting the train home. Delicious food, good service and great cocktails. Good, friendly service and very yummy Thai food. We had the mixed platter starter, then I had the king prawn pad Thai and my husband had the chicken massaman curry with jasmine rice. Very reasonably priced and great location. Very pleased we found this little gem. Highly recommend.”

“The fact that this place serves chicken feet hot and sour soup got to count for something! Great food and service was top notch, we were served even though it was already quite late, other places would have turned us down. Thank you so much.”
