Oxford Circus’ Best-Kept Secret (Thai-Approved!) 🇹🇭🔥
When Thai locals swear by a spot in London, you listen. The Great Thai Restaurant is the real deal—no frills, all flavor, and perfect for post-shopping carb-loading! 📍 The Great Thai Restaurant 14 Riding House St, W1W 7HR (5min from Oxford Circus) 💷 £15+ (10% service charge) 🍽️ Thai Friend’s Picks: 🌶️ Chilli Basil Chicken (Mince Version) Spicy, garlicky, basil-blasted minced chicken that demands rice. Wok hei so strong it’ll clear your sinuses! 🔥 🍜 Boat Noodle Soup (Beef) Dark, herbal broth with slippery rice noodles Tender beef slices + bouncy meatballs = texture heaven DIY toppings: Bean sprouts, cilantro, hollow greens 🌱 🍤 Yen Ta Fo (Pink Noodle Soup) Sour-spicy broth with fat rice sheets, crispy wontons, shrimp, and fish balls. Like Bangkok street food teleported to London! 🚕 ⚠️ Heads Up: Default spice level = Thai spicy (ask for "no chili" if weak-tongued!) 🌶️ Portions are generous—come hungry! 🌟 Verdict: Already planning my next visit for pad thai and mango sticky rice. Authenticity that doesn’t require a flight! ✈️ #ThaiFoodLondon #OxfordCircusEats #NoMoreSadPadThai #SpiceLovers #HiddenGem #100FoodAdventures
