Southern Thai khao gaeng curries: searingly hot, lip-smackingly sour
"The originalPlaza Khao Gaengwas one of our favourite restaurants of 2022, and now its blazing southern Thai cooking is heading right next door toBorough Market. If it’s anything like the original, expect a cosplay-ish Thai canteen aesthetic and electric curries." - Jake Missing
"Named a new Bib Gourmand in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Lively and great value, this Thai restaurant in the Arcade Food Hall serves authentic, punchy and spicy dishes, pairing its interesting setting with a sweet, homely feel." - Andrew Young
"Near Foyles’ Charing Cross Road flagship, this great value Thai restaurant is an easy choice after a book-buying session." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"On the mezzanine level of the bustling mania of Arcade Food Hall is Plaza Khao Gaeng. It’s a Thai spot decked out to the nines in the stuff you find in roadside spots all over Thailand. There’s officious light, lurid plastic tablecloths, and a cocktail so neon you might well suggest sprinting home from Tottenham Court Road. At least, until the food comes out and you realise you need to stay put and eat much more. Miang phuket, a starter of coconut and cashews mixed with palm sugar, is excellent, while almost all the curries are fierce and the drinks are guaranteed to flow." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
