Thai Corner Cafe

Great little place to visit, food is always nice and vibrant.. I had gone here for a sit in meal on a busy Friday which the staff still did their very best to serve on time. I would recommend locals to try if they haven’t..

Made a deliveroo order, after waiting for 90minutes I called them and they had not processed the order. After waiting 2hrs I cancelled. They have been slow in the past but getting silly now, I truly do not think these people care. I implore you not to buy food from here unless you want to stay hungry and have your evening ruined.

So good. Took my dad here for his 60th and he'd never had Thai food before, and he loved it. Place doesn't look special but the staff are nice, the place is ALWAYS full (so make sure to reserve a table) and the food is just brilliant. I had the Tom Kha vegetable soup (9/10) and the tofu pad Thai (8.5/10).

The food is ok. The spicy salad was a bit underwhelming at £9 quid and my green chicken curry was more like a soup than a curry in consistency. A bit of a wait for everything but I guess that’s a Saturday night for you. Oh and they don’t tell you anywhere it’s cash only until you get the actual bill.

Never actually went to the place itself but have had countless takeaways from deliveroo. The pad thai, red and green curries, and mixed starter (the prawn toast especially) is to die for. If I had to pick where to have my last meal on earth, Thai Corner Cafe definitely made it to the list. The portion size is amazing. Simply excellent. I’m salivating whilst writing this review!

A cozy place, with a varied affordable menu offering decent sized portions. I had the chicken gyoza with vinegar and soy sauce dip (it was very tasty) and chicken pad thai (the taste was good, but it seemed a bit to oily for my liking) and paid around £13/14 (including tip). I would like to go there again and try some of the other items on the menu as they all sounded really tasty and the smell coming from the kitchen was devine.

very rude lady . The service was pathetic however food was ok . Thy need to remove the old lady from the service area and our someone pleasant and English speaker .

Mara is wonderful and the food is delicious, recommend the masaman x

It can be hard to get a table but it's worth the wait. The restaurant is justoff Lordship Lane so there are plenty of pubs and bars to hang out in before hand if you're queuing for a table. Take out is also a great option as the restaurant works pretty quickly, you just have to make sure you have cash as the restaurant is not registered on just eat or hungry house. The dishes are great value for money. My all time favourites are the massaman and yellow curry with coconut rice. Pad thai and pad see eew are amongst the best I've had in London. A diverse menu that would please a big group. They also have a selection of delectable starters and tasty salads that will make sure you don't leave hungry. They also allow bring your own so it's a great cheap and cheerful night out catching up wih friends.

I just wanted to add my vote to this great Thai restaurant. The food is very good, and the prices are very reasonable for London. It does have a cozy and friendly atmosphere. I just wanted to clarify a few points that were raised above but not fully discussed: 1) This restaurant does NOT serve any alcohol at all. Consequently, they do allow you to bring your own wine (which is great for saving money). So be sure to stop into one of the local shops on your way there and buy a bottle of wine. 2) Space is VERY limited. The restaurant is basically the dining room of an old house that's been converted into a restaurant. So it can get very crowded. Be sure to call first and make a reservation. I've seen people waiting outside this place for 30-40 minutes to get a table otherwise, and the first thing the waiter asks to in-coming customers is "Do you have a reservation?" And it can get crowded on week-days as well as weekends.

The best food in East Dulwich, not to mention BYOB! Pad Thai is fantastic as are mant of the currys I've tried. Whenever a visitor comes by my way this place is my go-to! Make a reservation, it can be difficult to get a table at times.

Delicious Thai food, not too expensive, well worth the trek into deeper darker Southeast London! Third on my list of favourite Thai restaurants. (Busaba is 1st, Thai Buffalo in Balham is 2nd). Oh and they let you take your own wine - saves on money!

Here's a restaurant that epitomises down to earth and homely, perfect for intimate romantic evenings or tete a tetes with close friends. The food is lovely, the service is always good and, though it's not very spacious and any large rowdy groups tend to dominate (yes, Dominic/Charlie/Tarquin we can hear everything), the bargainous prices and chance to bring your own booze for a smallish corkage fee make up for most shortcomings. It can get really busy so it's definitely worth calling to check there's room before heading out, or if you're really organised just book a table. The location is nice too, set back from the bright lights of Lordship Lane, so if you want to give the hustle and bustle a miss Thai Corner Cafe is the perfect place to keep it real.

I've yet to eat inside. There always looks to be space in the week, but you'll need a reservation Friday and Saturday. I have had the take away option and the food was freshly made and very good value. I was disappointed with the Pad Thai, but it was still good. The tung tong starter pastries were delicious. FYI. As its BYOB it can get quite noisy with large young groups. I would avoid if I was a couple at the weekend. Will definitely be returning soon.

Fantastic food, nice intimate restaurant, fast service. And you can take your own drinks in which makes it really cheap. Just a small charge per bottle etc. Would recommend as a great thai for the area!

Been going here for years now, and the food is always excellent. I'm a huge fan of the duck massaman curry with coconut rice, but the pad thai and yum pak salad are also frequently on our table! Inside is quite small, and it gets extremely busy, but the staff are very friendly and it gets a nice community vibe. The food is reasonably priced (and its byob), so it's definitely worth booking... But then again they also do takeaway, which is almost always delivered quickly! (Side note... If you're eating in the restaurant, make sure you've got cash as they don't take cards!)

This is my new favourite Thai spot in East Dulwich. The food is excellent, prices are reasonable and you can bring your own bottle, which is quite unusual for this part of London. You at have to wait for a table as it gets quite busy but it is worth it.

Great food but too noisy and too hot. Spoilt the evening. Next time we'll get a takeaway!

I always feel like I am sitting in the dining room of a hospitable Thai family who just happen to have large shop-like windows looking out onto the street and give you a menu to choose from. The food and service is wonderful, selling all the usual combinations of Thai dishes. Visiting the bathroom even takes you on a tour upstairs into the family house. The restaurant is however, smart, clean and not often too busy. The food is served quickly and cooked to perfection. This really is the best non European cuisine you will find in the area.

The food is delicious and the prices reasonable. Try to avoid going too late on a Friday or Saturday night as this is a very popular restaurant.

Quirky little joint which is a hit with the local east Dulwich crew, book to avoid disappointment. No frills or whistles just well cooked authentic thai food served through steaming hot windows all year round. It was BYO when i visited - not too sure if this has changed. Massaman curry was perfectly cooked with lamb falling apart, nice amount of chilli and there Green curry is also top notch. Highly recommend as a intimate, low key meal before hitting Lordship lane for a few drinks

This is a real neighbourhood gem, cheap food, BYO and authentically spiced curries. The service is slick and sometimes you have the feeling that you a victim of this places success. Head round the corner for a drink whilst you wait for your table and ensure that are not wearing anything too floaty as you will knock items from your fellow diners tables.

Nice place, relaxed but attentitive staff.. Was very pleased with my green curry, as well as my date.

Love this place, low key friendly atmosphere. It gets really busy because the food is so good. The staff are friendly and helpful. They have vegan options but you have to ask.. They will talk you through what they can offer. It would be so good if they could offer a vegan curry.. Maybe in time! Delicious and warming. Also it's bring your own booze which makes it more affordable

This is an excellent little Thai restaurant with a good menu, and suprisingly for E Dulwich is a BYO. I would strongly recommend booking as space is very limited. I will be returning soon.

This is a wonderful thai restaurant/cafe, although I'm never quite sure when it's open. It's tiny and popular, so booking is a must. I have never been disappointed by the food here, and it's run by thai people so you know it's the genuine stuff! Very cosy, which sometimes makes it a bit of an uncomfortable evening, and you can't stay longer than two hours - but it's worth it! They also do take-away which is always a godo option if you forget or are too late to book. They don't serve wine, but you can bring your own bottle for a very small fee. If you try anything here, let it be their 'tom kha' with chicken. SO good.

Love it. BYO. Great food, great prices. Need to book though. Timed tables. Great for locals.

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and me and my boyfriend unexpectedly stumbled upon this quaint Thai cafe in the quiet part of North Cross Road; the location gave it a quirky appeal, with it being away from the hustle and bustle of the main road where you'll find a parade of all the other restaurants, so we thought 'quick coffee?' The place had a modest charm; it was like walking into someone's living room. We were greeted by a young Thai man with a massive smile, who showed us to our table. The decor seemed true to the place without any tacky pretentiousness. The large windows let in lots of daylight, which counteracts the fact that the place itself is quite small, also adding to how inviting it looks in the evening with all the soft lighting and lively atmosphere. We decided to stay for lunch; the welcoming service and cosy ambience appealed to us which spurred us on to try the food. I opted for the glass noodle salad and a Thai red curry. The salad was undeniably awesome! Very unique dish with fragrant, ingredients and just the right amount of chilli to give it a distinct kick. I had not tried glass noodles before but I found that they complimented the light refreshing flavours well. I must admit the curry was quite average, but enjoyable nonetheless. The ingredients were fresh and the sauce was balanced with just the right amount of coconut, chilli and Thai spices which the aubergine did a good job of soaking up. Yes some of the dishes are, as I say, 'average', but what makes up for this is that they have been kept authentic with no western influence, and why should there be?! I've been back many times and notice that it's packed nearly every night so booking a table is a must, and remember to bring your own wine! I hope the place keeps its unpretentious nature; avoiding any opportunity to overcomplicate the menu or overdo the decor. It's a pleasant alternative to the Thai place on the main road, which is very nice, but twice as expensive and definitely not as charming. I strongly recommend this place to anyone looking for a simple, reasonably priced Thai meal accompanied by a warm, relaxed atmosphere which is sure to leave you pleasantly greeted on arrival and completely satisfied upon departure.

Great meals, you can also take them home. Fresh ingrediants and nice service. Be sure to make a reservation if you want to go on Saturdays because the place is rather crowded that day.
