Busaba St. Christopher's Place

The décor is amazing—wood tones, warm lighting, and Thai aromatics make it so cozy that you instantly feel like you’ve been transported from London to Bangkok. The restaurant is spacious, with large tables for eight—perfect for sharing, or enjoying solo when it’s quiet. 💷 Weekday Express Lunch: £12 for a main, +£2 for a drink, +£3 for a starter. Hard to beat in central London! 🍴 Food highlights: • Pandan Chicken: tender, wrapped in pandan leaves, served with a sesame-flavored sauce. • Chargrilled Sirloin Steak: surprisingly good with Thai-style fried egg noodles. • Pandan Pancake: rich, fluffy, with banana, nuts, and ice cream—super satisfying. • Guava Collins: refreshing, not too sweet. A perfect spot for cozy vibes and tasty Thai food in the heart of London!

This restaurant was recommended by a lovely receptionist named Aya. She really loves Pad Thai, especially the one from this place, so I finally decided to give it a try. From a Thai taste perspective, I do think it tastes good, but it doesn’t really come across as an authentic Pad Thai. It feels more like a general Asian dish with some Pad Thai elements rather than a fully traditional one, if you know what I mean. I also felt like they added a bit too much MSG. That said, I totally get why it tastes this way, especially since the owner is actually from Hong Kong and not Thailand. Overall, I still enjoyed it :D

Feeling like back to Bangkok ! I really like this restaurant’s decoration ^^ I just finished shopping at Selfridge, and Busaba is literally just behind selfridge. I always order pai Thai in every Thai restaurant, but I still quite like Busaba’s pai Thai.The noodles are cooked just right — soft but not soggy. Every spoonful is bursting with authentic Thai flavor. They also offer fresh smoothies, I quite like Guava 😚 feel like I am super healthy.
