Slurp Noodles offers a gateway to the vibrant world of Thai cuisine, where authentic flavours meet the heart of London. Inspired by traditional family recipes, Slurp pays homage to Thailand’s beloved street food with dishes that capture the sweet, spicy, and tangy essence of Bangkok. With stunning décor and a menu packed with flavour and choice, whether it’s for a satisfying lunch, a hearty dinner, or a delicious late night snack, this is the ultimate place to eat.
Spread across London, with restaurants in foodie hubs including Soho and Spitalfield, Slurp Noodles dedicates itself to delivering the warm atmosphere and bold, fresh flavours that locals enjoy daily. It comes as no surprise that it has been at the top of the lists of many Thai enthusiasts since its opening in 2023, with a menu of favourites serving up light bites, rice bowls, noodle soup, and stir-fried delights.
There are numerous standout dishes at Slurp Noodles, and combined with its generous portion sizes, it certainly demands more than one visit to fully explore its potential. The Red Bean Curd Noodles with Seafood is one of the favourites, featuring glass noodles in a tangy Thai sukiyaki sauce and packed with colourful vegetables, enhanced by the delicate flavours of fresh squid, prawn, and mussels. For rice lovers, the Hainan Chicken Rice with Ginger Sauce is the obvious choice, with the extremely popular southeast Asian dish pairing tender poached chicken with fragrant garlic rice and a zesty yellow bean ginger sauce. Noodle soup enthusiasts will adore the Sen Su Kho Thai, a tangy and savoury masterpiece with roast pork, dried shrimp, and fishballs, all elevated by fresh herbs and lime.
One dish that deserved its spotlight is the Hat Yai Chicken, a deep-fried delicacy from Southern Thailand. The tender marinated chicken thighs are packed with flavour, thanks to a blend of coriander, garlic, white pepper, and fish sauce, and are topped with crispy shallots for added texture. Recommended as a starter or paired with sticky rice for a hearty meal, it’s a versatile dish that does not disappoint. The Crispy Sun-Dried Pork is also worth a mention, featuring marinated pork belly fried to golden perfection and served with a tangy chili garlic lime sauce – the perfect snack while you await your main course.
Most dishes follow the pattern of playing sweet, sour, spicy, and salty notes off of each other to create distinctive combinations and unique flavour profiles, which leave guests thrilled and excited about their next visits – much like it did us.
The Spitalfields restaurant has an added benefit – its lower floor plays host to Dang’s, the chic yet warm cocktail bar shaking up expertly crafted cocktails until 1am from Wednesday to Saturday. Guests can choose from innovative drinks such as the Banana Hibiki (cacao rum, hibiki whiskey, and banana liqueur) and the Yuzu You (yuzu syrup, mazcal, lemon, and lime). For a truly immersive experience, there are also daring options, such as the Some Like It Hot (chilli vodka, wasabi vodka, tomato, salt, and basil) and the Honey Thai Tea (Phraya rum, Thai tea, condensed milk, and honey). With its vibrant décor and welcoming vibe, Dang’s offers the perfect end to a memorable meal – or the start of an unforgettable evening.
Slurp Noodles (and Dang’s) proves itself as the ultimate place to go if you’re looking for an authentically Thai foodie experience, whether for a satisfying lunch, a hearty dinner, or a delicious late night snack. This is certainly one to add to the list of must-tries for 2025.
Slurp Noodles and Dang’s are co-located at 60-62 Commercial Street, London E1 6LT, with additional Slurp Noodles locations at Wapping and Soho (reopening early 2025). View the menu, find your nearest restaurant and book, or order for delivery or collection right here.
