103-105 New Oxford St, London WC1A 1DB
· Thai restaurant
· St Giles
A destination for bold, authentic Southern Thai flavors in a lively, cramped setting—delivering culinary fireworks but at a premium price and with a side of chaos.
The verdict
Plaza Khao Gaeng delivers exceptional food quality with authentic Southern Thai flavors rarely found in London, earning strong destination appeal among Thai food enthusiasts. However, cramped seating and discomfort, inconsistent execution across visits, and food safety concerns prevent a higher grade. This is a bold, flavorful destination for adventurous diners willing to trade comfort for authenticity.
One caveat: Small portions relative to price are a frequent complaint—expect to order more than you think
