Review: Oh My Cod British Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand

British Food is My Favorite Food and Oh My Cod My Favorite British Restaurant

As a Brit living in Bangkok, Thailand, I do sometimes crave British food. That's when I head down to Khao San Road and visit Oh My Cod British restaurant. Oh My Cod, I think, is the best British restaurant in Bangkok and here's why.

The food.
If you love British food, you can't go wrong with Oh My Cod. Their menu is huge and offers pretty much every favorite British food. From fish and chips to mince and onion pies and mushy peas served with french fries (chips in British lingo), an enormous breakfast-served-all-day menu, steak and kidney peas, beefburgers, roast chicken and chips, onion rings, black puddings, bangers and mash, spaghetti bolognaise, and sirloin steak - they serve everything. Prices are great - you can have an awesome meal for between $2 and $5 including a drink, and the food is lovely. It's all made fresh, it tastes as close to genuine British food as you can get out of the country and they even have a Christmas menu if you want to experience real British Christmas food. They also serve a few Thai dishes for those who don't like British food - great if you have Thai friends with you as, overall, Thais are not very adventurous when it comes to food.

The drinks.
Oh My Cod serves coffee, tea (both hot and cold), cokes, Thai iced tea, fresh fruit juices, lattes, cider, fruit shakes and more than 10 types of beer (imported and domestic). On all their drinks they are very reasonably priced, but especially on their alcoholic drinks, which run a good 50 cents to $1.50 cheaper than many other Bangkok restaurants.

The staff.
The staff is primarily young Thai women, who are all very friendly and helpful. They all know their stuff about the food they serve, and the service is fast and efficient. Most of them speak English well enough that you can get most questions answered and always receive the order you actually order.
