Located in the heart of Wimbledon, Mai Thai is an independent Thai restaurant bringing the bold, vibrant flavours of Thailand to this London neighbourhood.
Just a short walk from Wimbledon station, Mai Thai offers an authentic culinary experience with a focus on fresh ingredients, traditional recipes, and modern presentation. It’s known for its welcoming atmosphere and stylish interiors, blending natural wood finishes with tropical plants and soft lighting. The open-plan kitchen allows diners to see the chefs at work, preparing dishes using time-honoured Thai cooking techniques. Whether dining in or collecting a takeaway, guests are treated to warm, attentive service in a contemporary yet relaxed setting.
The menu is rooted in classic Thai street food and home-cooked favourites, with a strong emphasis on flavour and authenticity. Highlights include the signature pad aa prow, a fiery stir-fry of minced pork or beef with holy basil, garlic and chilli, served with butterfly pea jasmine rice and a crispy fried egg. The massaman lamb shank is slow-cooked to perfection in a fragrant coconut curry, while gaeng ped yarng (red curry duck with lychees and pineapple) offers a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savoury. There are also numerous vegetarian and vegan options, such as the pad pak stir-fried vegetables and rich green curry with tofu.
Desserts at Mai Thai are simple yet traditional, including coconut milk pudding, sticky rice with banana, and palm cakes. A selection of Thai soft drinks and teas complement the meal, with takeaway and delivery options available for convenience.
Whether you're a local or visiting Wandsworth, Mai Thai offers a delicious and authentic taste of Thailand in one of South London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. If you love Mai Thai, they also have a second location - Mai Thai Deli - in Wandsworth.
