Thai Zapp @ The Heron — Restaurant in London

A Hidden Thai Gem in London – Comforting, Delicious, and Full of Heart

This unpretentious little Thai spot in London completely blew me away. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuine — the kind that makes you feel like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home. The food? Absolutely unforgettable.

Every dish tasted homemade, with deep, authentic flavors that spoke of care and tradition. There’s nothing flashy or overdone here — just real, honest cooking that’s rich in soul and spice. The simplicity is what makes it shine. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

Unassuming and quietly excellent, this place has that rare magic that makes you want to come back the next day — unbearable only in the sense that you’ll crave it the...

Original Thai food here with a warm welcome and nice service from the waiter. He served us water without our request, which made me think of when I was in Thailand. That's what normally Thai people do in every restaurant... We impressed! 💗 My husband and I ordered those food for lunch, and we're both like them.

They have many sections for you to choose for the table and because it's a nice sunny day so we sat outside, nice breeze. I believe you can bring your children here and find your own location. At lunchtime, I won't be too busy with the drunker....
