What diners say
Grilled pork neck was so tough and chewy and very suspicious. I know pork neck when I see it and I’m not sure this was that. The staff laughed when I raised this concern and I did not feel listened to at all. It was also hard to flag them down despite the place being almost empty. Otherwise, the ambiance here is nice and the mixed starters are quite good. The shrimp was a highlight. I love pad see ew and thai milk tea so no surprise that I enjoyed those (though the milk tea does lean on the sweeter side).

I recently dined at Thai Square Minories and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The restaurant strikes a lovely balance between elegance and comfort, with romantic décor, warm lighting and a calm atmosphere that makes it ideal for date nights or special occasions. We started with a refreshing selection of drinks, including lychee juice and a vibrant mocktail, which set the tone nicely. Starters such as butterfly prawns and duck spring rolls were well executed, crisp, flavourful and not overly heavy. The highlight of the meal was the caramelised seabass with lemongrass, delicately cooked and beautifully balanced, paired with fragrant coconut and sticky rice. Dessert offered a relaxed finish, from indulgent chocolate pudding with vanilla ice cream to lighter coconut and mango ice creams. Service throughout the evening was attentive without being intrusive, and the pacing of the meal felt unhurried. Overall, Thai Square Minories delivers refined Thai comfort food in a welcoming, romantic setting. A dependable choice in the City, particularly for those looking for a polished yet relaxed dining experience.

I recently visited Thai Square Minories with my family, and it proved to be an excellent choice for a relaxed yet memorable meal in central London. This striking Thai restaurant sits just a short walk from the Tower of London, making the location ideal for visitors, business meetings, or family dinners. Thai Square Minories has been part of the London dining scene for over 20 years, and that experience shows in both the food and the service. From the moment you step inside, the scale of the venue stands out. The restaurant is large, spacious, and beautifully decorated with traditional Thai touches that feel warm rather than overwhelming. It works well for families, as there is plenty of room and a calm atmosphere, but it also suits professional lunches and group dinners. You never feel rushed, which adds to the overall enjoyment. We began with prawn crackers served with a sweet chilli sauce. Light, crisp, and fresh, they set a pleasant tone. The Thai dumplings followed and were a highlight among the starters. These steamed parcels were filled with chicken and prawns, along with shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts. The topping of crispy garlic flakes added texture, while the sweet soya sauce brought everything together. They were well-balanced and full of flavour. The chicken satay was another solid choice. Chargrilled marinated chicken breast arrived on skewers, tender and juicy, with a rich peanut sauce that tasted freshly made rather than overly sweet. Alongside this, we tried the butterfly prawns. These king prawns were coated in crispy soya breadcrumbs and served with sweet chilli sauce. They were crunchy on the outside, succulent inside, and very moreish. Thai Square is known for its signature dishes, and they are not to be missed. The caramelised sea bass with lemongrass was outstanding. A whole sea bass, lightly coated in a crisp batter, arrived perfectly cooked and topped with fragrant herbs. The chilli jam added depth without overpowering the fish. This dish alone is reason enough to visit. Equally impressive was the chilli spider soft shell crab. Fried in a light, crispy batter and tossed with chillies and spring onions, it delivered bold flavour with a satisfying crunch. For mains, we shared a range of classic dishes. The pad si ew was packed with flavour. Flat rice noodles were stir-fried with chicken, egg, broccoli, carrots, and cabbage in dark soya sauce with white pepper. It was comforting, rich, and very well executed. The green curry chicken was aromatic and well-balanced, with green chilli paste, coconut milk, aubergines, bamboo shoots, long beans, and sweet basil. It had warmth without being overpowering. The panang curry chicken offered a creamier option, with a thicker red curry sauce, coconut milk, bell peppers, and shredded lime leaves. It was deeply flavoured and satisfying. We finished with mango sticky rice, which was in season. Sweet, ripe mango was paired with soft sticky rice, topped with coconut sauce and sesame seeds. There was a subtle pandan note that lifted the dessert and ended the meal on a high. Service deserves special praise. Sonia looked after us throughout the meal and made excellent recommendations. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The rest of the team was equally professional and welcoming, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Thai Square Minories delivers authentic Thai cuisine in a beautiful setting. With several branches across London, this location stands out for its size, atmosphere, and consistent quality. It is a place you can return to with confidence, whether dining with family, friends, or colleagues. Halal chicken is available.
