About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
Our Aim: To expand the palates of London folk when it comes to Thai food.

For years, Thai food in London Has been dumbed-down and dull. Typically rich and sweet, and served out of chain restaurants and supermarket aisles, like boring and bland Pad Thai or Green Chicken Curry.

It's everything we stand against.

Our flavours come from Northern Thailand - Chiang Mai - which are entirely different, punchier and much more complex, with international notes from neighbouring countries Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and China.

    Been waiting to come here for a long time and it did not disappoint! The food was exceptional, and I was so glad to find a decent Kao Soi in London! Can't wait to go back.

    Krapow is lovely. Some of the best Thai food I know, and just around the corner. That is, a local joint, which just happens to be excellent. Fresh tasting, very spicy dishes. the prawns with tamarind in betel leaf are fab. also really tasty cocktails, though they're a bit too easy drinking for comfort.

    Always busy and buzzing. A bit cramped. But good Thai food - which seems to be fairly authentic. Plenty of veggie choices too. And friendly staff.

    Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. The wine (any of it) is not good... but the food is so great, I’d let that slide. Have been many times and will continue to do so!

    Incredible food at great prices. Krapow's mission statement is to end the rich sweet and by now frankly boring thai food you can get anywhere in the UK. This amazing little place does exactly that. If i lived closer i would go every week.
