Chaopraya is a restaurant with pretensions. The walls are burnished gold in parts, boldly patterned in others and highly adorned throughout the ground-floor dining room. The basement is simpler, bigger, but also rather darker. The food, a mix of familiar favourites and the chef’s own inventions, is also embellished with the likes of carved vegetable flowers and little heaps of western salad leaves. A bowl of tom yam koong, served on an oversized rectangular plate, was appropriately hot and sour, and packed with plump prawns. Another starter of pan-fried scallops with the chef’s ‘homemade spicy sauce’ tasted of little other than black pepper – the scallops totally masked. Green chicken curry put things back on track, though, with interesting herbal notes. Our pad thai also had plenty of wow-factor thanks to the skilful lattice-work omelette it was wrapped in.

Chaopraya’s location makes it the perfect stop-off for a post-shopping meal, but the West End postcode does mean that prices are a little higher than average. The staff seemed rather uninterested on our visit, though perhaps this was down to a less than busy restaurant.

I don't know about others but to me, chaopaya eat-Thai is my favourite Thai restaurant around. I've tried going to other Thai restaurants but none has come as close as chaopraya eat-Thai. Although the price might put you off a little but you get what you pay for. Also, the service are great! Service is amazing but can be a little slow. However the staffs are friendly enough to keep on interacting with you while you wait for your food. I would recommend here to anyone.

Words does not justify this place. Having lived in Thailand for most of my live, it is not easy to satisfied my taste bud for Thai food. However, Chaopraya Eat-Thai did the job perfectly. If you want a real Thai food, I would recommend you to come here.

After dining at most Thai restaurants in London and out with, the Chaophaya Eat-Thai is by far the best, quality of the food and service is superb and at one of the main things we look forward to when we visit the city, lovely restaurant and lovely people running it. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Eat Thai at St. Christopher's Place opens only when they feel like it, not at 12 noon daily as shown outside. On typical Sundays, for example, they have only ever opened at 12:30 earliest and usually 1 PM. They have stopped serving terrific Thai wines. Service is so-so! Price is high and not sustainable. Often now, someone has booked the front table, without showing up, and we will not go downstairs on that basis.

Not sure about food, what horrible service I went for lunch on a snowy day. Place was empty and we asked for a table next to the window. The waiter said the table was for 4 people, we insisted as there were 2 other tables for 4 available and that we were happy to move in the unlikely case of 3 groups of 4 people came. The waiter simply said that it was not possible, so we just walked away and ended up having lunch at the place in front. Obviously none came to the Thai place afterwards...

Superb! I was greeted by the friendly staff right at the door, who kindly led me and my boyfriend to our table. We didn't know what to order so we asked the staff for advice, he recommended the chaopraya spring rolls and the spring rolls, for the main course he recommended pad thai prawn and green curry chicken with rice. First come the starter and it was amazing! Follow by the main course. The pad thai prawn got us my surprise, the prawn was massive not only that it tasted good and for the green curry chicken, the flavour was amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone and if you do go, I highly recommend the pad thai prawn because you won't be disappointed. Julia

Nothing special but more important customer service is awful and quite unpleasant. I booked a table but I was turned away with 2 hungry children simply because the kitchen was not ready at the time of opening and I was given quite odd excuse. The manager-waiter is very rude. I can't recommend this place to anyone.

Worst Thai food I have ever had, poor service. Mistakes on my bill as on another table closed to mine. Highly unrecommended!
