A unique dining experience, Thai Upon Thames is a Thai restaurant on Richmond Road in Twickenham. Enjoy delicious, authentic Thai meals with loved ones around wooden tables, sit back on chairs adorned with plump cushions in a warmly lit environment.
Start your meal with starters that set the stage for the feast ahead, like chicken satay with peanut sauce, Thai fish cakes, duck spring rolls, and pork spare ribs, each representing the vibrant flavours of Thai cuisine. For stir fried options, enjoy the expertly crafted dishes paired with steamed jasmine rice, from the fragrant pork with ginger to the bold and spicy crispy duck with chilli and basil, or the sirloin beef with aubergine and basil. At lunchtime, you can enjoy some small tapas style dishes with full size flavour, and share amongst the table. All the popular dishes are on this menu, along with a selection of soups, salads and large plates from hungry appetites.
The restaurant proudly presents signature dishes that showcase the artistry of their chefs. Indulge in the succulence of grilled marinated pork, expertly glazed with honey and soy sauce, accompanied by a side of sticky rice — a delicious marriage of sweet and salty. Enjoy the Northern style slow cooked pork belly, served with Nam Prik Ong dipping sauce, a testament to the rich flavors of Thai cuisine. Aberdeen Angus beef cubes, bathed in a green curry sauce, create a gorgeous fusion, complemented by roti and hom mali (jasmine) rice. For those seeking a burst of freshness, the grilled marinated chicken and papaya salad, covered with crushed peanuts and coconut rice, offers a delightful option of mixed textures and aromas.
The restaurant sometimes hosts charity nights, raising money for the likes of Cancer Research UK, where the funds made from select dishes are donated to the chosen charity.
