Khao-Sō-I, located in Fitzrovia’s Market Place, offers a unique dining experience away from the busy atmosphere of nearby Oxford Street. Nestled between Great Portland Street and Great Titchfield Street, this restaurant specializes in the Northern Thai noodle dish known as khao soi. The dining atmosphere is less chaotic compared to other parts of London, creating a relaxed setting for guests to enjoy their meals.
The standout feature of Khao-Sō-I is its open kitchen, where diners can observe the chefs skillfully preparing their dishes. This not only adds to the vibrant dining experience but also allows customers to appreciate the art of cooking. Guests have the option to customize their khao soi with various toppings, enhancing the dish to their personal taste. Prices for the khao soi range from £19.50 for chicken to £49 for langoustine, with the Wagyu khao soi priced at £31, offering a good balance of quality and value.
In addition to the classic offerings, Khao-Sō-I features seasonal specials that keep the menu fresh and exciting. One such dish is The Gang knew wan, a refined green curry inspired by the Thai New Year, which showcases the restaurant’s commitment to seasonal ingredients and creativity. These specials contribute to a diverse menu that appeals to a wide range of diners. Additionally, Khao-Sō-I reflects the vibrant culinary scene, similar to the Borough Market experience, highlighting local craftsmanship in its dishes.
During warmer months, Khao-Sō-I provides outdoor seating, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals in an open-air environment. Plans for barbecue-style cooking in this outdoor space aim to enhance the dining experience even further.
