I really wasn't sure what to expect when i went to champor champor. Iâ¬"ve been to a few asian restaurants before and have always left thinking the food was over spiced and over priced. When we arrived here, we were greeted at the door by a friendly and polite waiter who took us to our seats. The décor of the venue is as youâ¬"d expect of a thai / asian / Chinese but the smells were delicious and I soon wanted to get ordering! They have a HUGE range of food so be prepared to spend some time looking! The food itself is delicious and Iâ¬"d thoroughly recommend them]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 22:17:35 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1t92l7c/champor-champor/1g2j98230221895 expired2008 51.502364417368 -0.086612805807968 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1t92l7c/champor-champor/1s09k8

This is definitely one of the best Asian restaurants that I have had the opportunity to eat at in London. The tiny front window with its low-key style could easily turn you down, but as soon as you enter the space, you are blown away: fragrances, carved-wood decorations, hanging masks, smiles on the staff faces... Simply great.

The food was also great, with an extensive selections of SE Asia specialities of different degree of spiciness, for all tastes: I opted for some Chicken serunding and plum tomato paneer and Thai basil salad as a starter, followed up by beef rendang with yellow rice and pineapple pajeri. And the desert? Fresh papaya cubes covered in a mango lassi and a scoop of lemongrass sorbet.

everything beautifully presented with a strong attention paid to details. The waiters are very helpful and do not hesitate to guide your choices, or to introduce the dishes with detailed descriptions.

The main drawback of this restaurant is its location... But that could reveal to be an advantage to protect it. Located a few minutes walk from London Bridge it is in a boring, lifeless area. For the better because it is quite small and require to book in advance to ensure a seat.

Champor-Champor was reviewed as the best Thai in London so I had to stop by-you need a reservation as its quite small. The decor is lovely and exotic and the food is really good and different. I had the frog legs for appetizer and they were lovely in a kind of teriaki sauce. I also tried the kangaroo, as I never had it before. It came in a sort of Pad Thai way in a bowl with vegetables and noodles. I have had pad thai in many restaurant and this was the most unusual and tasted great.
It is dimly lit and somewhat romantic. All the details of place setting and atmosphere are very cool.
