Thai Square (Trafalgar Square)

I disagree with the other reviews. I took a few friends for a hen night. We ordered from the "Gold" set menu and had an amazing meal. It was £32 per person and completely worth the price. We had 4 courses and everything was beautiful.

It was the best meal out I have had in years. There was plenty of food for all of us and the service was great.

We weren't planning to go eat here - we walked passed the window and decided to give it a try. We ordered from the Vegetarian section and stuck to soft drinks which were well over £2 each for a glass of semi flat cola.

The food on the menu seemed reasonably priced at first - so we ordered 2 main dishes and rice. The food was nice - nothing special or mind blowing but the biggest disappointment was the actual quantity of food given.

There simply wasn't enough of anything. At around £6 to £8 per dish I was expecting a lot more of the actual food on my plate. You'd need to order about 2 to 3 dishes per person to satisfy a fairly average hunger. In the end I ended up having to eat again a few hours later when I got home.

Staff were very nice and pleasant - but they really need to double the quantity of the food.

I’d been here a few years back when Long Yang Club used to have their meetings there, and they did an excellent buffet dinner of curries.

Went back last night and not impressed at all.

Duck stir fried with pepper was OK but honestly not that exciting. A prawn and scallop hot pot was cold, dried out, and the fish was overcooked. Ditto for a rather dry and uninspiring Pad Thai. If you’d only paid £6 for each dish you would have thought it was average and forgotten it.

But at around £13 a dish, to eat food you could cook better yourself . . . well, I won’t be going back.

I am a big fan of Thai food and have lived in Bangkok for 2 years. Am pretty fussy with my Thai food, so I was hoping that this one lived up to it's name. I was pleasantly surprised. The food tasted exactly as it would be in Thailand. I had the crab cakes to start and monk fish green curry with sticky rice. The food was fresh and very tasty, and I finished every last bit. The service was typically Thai because they had Thai waitresses. So all in all, a truly Thai experience...

Thai Square - yes a bit pricey. However, it has one of the best Pad Thai dishes in town. The red curry is hot but the ingredients is top notch. Decor is quite special if you sit in the area with the high ceiling. They have a live musician. However unless you sit next to her you will not hear most of the notes. Gold leaf on the walls, nice.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Thai Square last weekend and didn't like it much.

Our first impression was good as the decoration looked really nice.

However, the quality of food that we had that night

was not that great, given the steep prices on the menu.

We ordered a mixed starter plate, which I thought was

petty good, but both our main dish didn't taste very well and they were

GBP 13 to 15 each. The curry was not very authentic and

the seafood dish with Takrai

(some kind of seafood tempura fried with lemon grass) was cold.

Also, there were so many empty tables, but they had to have people

sit on tables that were set so close to one another. Not very comfortable.

Otherwise, the service was OK. I probably will not return.

me and my friend were craving for good curry after having shopped all day...loads of names came to mind until we decided to go for Thai Square (Trafalgar)...very good atmosphere - not at all pretentious. The staff were very hospitable and friendly and the food - no regrets at all...the starters, impressive taste, definitely a treat to the taste buds...never have I tasted such good crab cakes and prawn toast and the red curry I had...difinitely something to definitely go for!

Definitely enjoyed my experience at Thai Square. 3 of us Popped in for dinner at around 7p on a saturday without a reservation and they were fine to accommodate us as long as we could vacate our table by 8:30p. wasnt a big deal for us. seemed like more than enough time, and we had to catch a show after.

the building is beautiful and the decor also pleasant. very relaxing atmosphere. food was very good. very tasty. Loved the coconut rice! it melted in my mouth. the chicken with pineapple was one of the best I;ve tried in london. my partner enjoyed his vegetarian curry as well. he just wished he had a slighlty bigger portion. Including appetizers and a bottle of chardonnay, we spent about 27 pounds ea. which is pretty avg for the area.

We definitely left there having enjoyed our experience. Given some of the other options around, was definitely a good choice for reasonably priced, good food, that isn't a pub or pizza express.

My group went there for birthday party on friday. Having only read the reviews after going there I can advise that the service has certainly changed. Staff were courteous, accommodating and attentive without being in your face. the FOOD WAS EXCELLENT.I feel to impress for everything.

The food seems to be dumbed down for western tastes (in this branch and others) and the green curry seemed thickened with cornflour, and generally revolting. Service was unattentive, and downright rude.
