Thai Square - The Strand
About Thai Square - The Strand
Thai Square The Strand is the eldest of ten popular siblings. Born in 1997, it’s purpose in life is to serve tasty, competitively priced Thai food in attractive Thai-style surroundings. Needless to say, in this it consistently succeeds. Bare wooden floors, simple wood seating and good lighting create a pleasingly modern minimalist look, interrupted by hand-crafted Thai artefacts. A flagship restaurant like this deserves a top head chef. Step forward Mr Ngam-Arom from a top hotel in Thailand whose pad thai, green curry, and chicken with cashew nuts are so good that people come back for them time and again. Charming, attentive staff. A good place to meet before or after the theatre.
