2nakhon in Manchester

The food was spectacular, especially the mango sticky rice, which was divine. The restaurant's interior is stunning and provides a serene atmosphere perfect for dating, conversation, and enjoying delicious Thai cuisine. There was only one staff member working during our visit; she managed taking orders, preparing and serving food, while also attending to children. She was incredibly kind and humble. Kudos to that staff member for balancing her professional duties with her role as a mother.

I returned to 2Nakhon for the lamb shank and It turned out to be even better than I remember it being. The staff really looked after us and although they seemed to be quite stretched, our food came out quickly and they were as attentive as ever. I will definitely be coming back. Glad I discovered this place.

This booking was last min , personally i would never eat from here again , the lamb shank seemed like it was defrosted, the rice came after 10 mins of serving my main. The first main course for a family member came out 1 hour 20 mins from the person who got served last . The king prawn must have been on a diet , 3 prawns for 8.95 . Go down the road to greggs better value for money

Absolutely tremendous food, and beautiful company. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

I’m so glad I discovered this Thai restaurant in Manchester! The service was amazing from start to finish, and the cozy vibe was perfect for our causal night out. The staff were incredibly attentive and offered great recommendations — I went with the “Railway Fried Rice” and no disappointment whatsoever, it was flavourful and veryyy filling. I’ll definitely return here —especially for that Railway Fried Rice. Highly recommended!

Coming all the way from Leicester, 2Nakhon has to be one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is so tasty with the right amount of spice, the cocktails are so amazing and they make it strong to your preference. Beautiful lightning and a very peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend this to people that live in Manchester 10/10

Amazing staff and food. Definitely the place to go for Thai food. Affordable prices and family friendly. Will definitely be going again.

2nakhon is hands down the best Thai restaurant I’ve experienced since my trip to Thailand. I’ve dined here on multiple occasions, and the food consistently exceeds expectations. The flavors are authentic, transporting you back to the essence of dining in Thailand. The restaurant itself is cosy, with beautiful decor, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The staff are always attentive, friendly, and go above and beyond to make you feel at home. I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a delightful evening of flavorful Thai cuisine and outstanding service!

Not a bad looking place but for price and taste of the food, I wouldn’t recommend. I came here for my birthday 3 months ago and now I decide to leave the review. I personally find the taste / quality not so good. I found the weeping tiger quite chewy. The portion size are so small. The price shown In the menu doesn’t include sides. Rice chips etc. Drinks starter main sides prices are too high. Bank account in so much pain after visiting here.

maggots all the way from the back of the kitchen into the bins on the back street. if you care about food hygiene, stay away!

rude staff, the bin out the back is filled with maggots 🤢🤢🤢🤢 very unhygienic

I love this Thai restaurant. The decor and atmosphere is lovely. The food is delicious and they have just started doing brunches which I'm yet to try but the shakshua, and chicken and waffles sounds enticing. If food quality is anything like the evening meals it will be amazing!

7pm Saturday and place was deserted. Despite this had to ask more than once to be attended as the 2 servers were more interested in talking to each other. My chicken satay starter was nice and well presented however, I can't say the same about the main. I had the king prawn railway rice. It tasted odd so I left most of it. The best thing was the wine but even that was under measured.

The starter wasn't bad. The seabass was covered on bbq sauce which I really don't like. The wine was decent, but the bill expensive. Disappointing experience!

Best Thai I have had in a while and we love Thai food . Lovely, friendly staff too. I can’t fault it and we will be back !!

This is without doubt the best Thai restaurant I have visited in the U.K. . Lovely welcome reasonably priced . I had the sirloin strips with egg fried rice OMG so good . My wife had Thai green curry again lovely. These people need support they have something special .

Excellent, meals are superb…good service and the guy Wole so nice. Ever ready to ensure services are met 💯

Great place to eat, staff very friendly and helpful to discuss the menu. Long time since I've eaten in didsbury so was a little pricey for 3 people.

As i have mentioned many times, I have travelled to Thailand and I absolutely love that cuisine. While me and my friends were pub hopping at Didsbury Dozens, we came across this restaurant. The prices were a bit on a higher side than other restaurants. One of us was a vegetarian and ordered a portion of spring rolls which was awful. It tasted tangy and had a strong smell. Others ordered Chicken/Prawns Pad Thai. There were no vegetables, just the flat noodles and meat. The server's name was Dharma if I'm not wrong who was very attentive and hospitable. They definitely need to work on their food and portion size. The ambience is beautiful though.

Delicious food with a good ambiance. A bit overpriced considering the portion sizes, but the location likely contributes to this. Friendly, welcoming staff enhance the experience. Recommended overall.

We attended on a slow Tuesday evening, we were a pre-booked table of 6 and the only table in the restaurant. The design and layout of this place is cute, however there was no background music and as a big group we felt the need for us to talk quieter as there was no atmosphere. We weren’t going to mention anything or do a review but sadly after our visit we couldn’t not review. First started as it took 20 minutes to take a drinks order from us. The drinks were delivered one by one, two of our group ordered the fruit cider and the drinks were decanted into a glasses (not glasses sufficient to hold a full Kopperberg) we then watched the server top his own glass up with both the remaining ciders and drink it himself. He then took our food order, the server then sat himself down at an empty table, with his cider and was on his phone. After about 20 minutes we noticed the chef (working solo) bring out two meals to the pass. They sat there for a further 15 minutes whilst waiting for the other dishes to arrive. By the time they were delivered to our table they were cold. One of our party asked for it to be returned to the kitchen and the other continued to eat it due to being so hungry. The rest of the starter food continued to come out plate by plate. When it came to the main courses the same happened. Our server was sat down with food at the pass. the first two meals came out and then the next two 5 minutes later. The final meal came out over 10 minutes after the first. They forgot our side orders and in the end we asked them not to cook them as it was after the meals had been eaten. It was very obvious that there was only one chef in the kitchen. I completely understand on a quiet night but I feel that there should have been a pre warning that food comes out as it’s ready, similar to Wagamamas (we would have been more sympathetic). The food itself was delicious however one of the party had chicken and rice, whilst the rice was very hot the chicken was lukewarm and plain. We were never asked if we wanted more drinks and had to prompt our server to order and even then only half the order came again with a long wait for the rest of it and the server remaining on his phone most of our service. The server then introduced himself to us as the owner. We mentioned some of our concerns about the meal, he didn’t once apologise and he tried to blame the meals on there only being one chef, even when we mentioned that service had been slow. I would never ask for a discount but given that food had been cold, waiting for our table meals and service so slow and only being served half the drinks, I thought our bill might reflect this, however it didn’t. I would like to add that if this place had been better staffed I believe our experience would have been completely different it was just very unfortunate.

Such a shame! Food was so so delicious. Let down entirely by ambience and service. Some of the worst service in a restaurant I have ever experienced. Waitor (who also claimed to be the manager) was slow and inattentive. Multiple plates of food came out cold as they’d been left on the pass for prolonged periods of time. Drinks orders were half fulfilled. Dishes painfully slow to arrive- some having finished main courses by the time others arrived. Very lacklustre response from the waitor (who claimed to be the manager) when we very politely escalated our concerns. Will not be returning.

The shop is very beautiful and the atmosphere is good. I ordered a lot of Pad Thai. It was very delicious. The shrimp were big. If you eat it, I guarantee you will like it.

The food and the service was terrible. The food just smelt, ew. Do not recommend

Beautiful ambience and great food!

Love the food here. I will definitely be back

Genuinely never been angry at a takeaway from anywhere before until eating from here. As you can see from the pictures they think these portions are acceptable for main courses for £14.95-15.95. An absolute rip off and a joke that they think it's acceptable to charge that amount for what are starter portions at best. Glad I didn't order a starter at £9-ish now, think it would've been a single bite. On top of the portion size, there was barely any meat in either the thai green chicken curry or the beef massaman. And to top it all off it was average at best taste and ingredient quality. All four diners have travelled Thailand and south east Asia extensively so we know what we're looking for. This ain't it. Do not order from here unless you like child portions and average quality.

To begin, they brought another table's drinks to us (there was only two sets of patrons in the place). Asked for Lobster - not in stock. Asked for a chicken dish, they went across the road to Co-op to buy the chicken. Order a mojito - pure sugar. Asked for my steak rare - came overly well-done and super dry. Food was ok, but not for the £90 price tag. Worth £45 at most and that's being super generous.

Amazing place will be coming back soon 😁

Relaxed and cozy, lovely food.

Beautiful customer service and food was delicious

Lovely food !! Very quick and beautiful ambiance !!

The food was excellent, perfectly cooked meat & prawns with really tasty sauces. The atmosphere was very relaxing & the staff were lovely, polite & attentive. I highly recommend 😊

Very nice restaurant, welcoming owner and staff, great selection of meals and a very conducive ambiance. Definitely my go to place for all meals Thai in Manchester.

I had the Thai fried train rice with chicken. The food is exceptionally tasty and very fresh, and the staff is fantastic. The dining experience is very enjoyable, and the overall atmosphere is lovely. Upon asking if the spring rolls have mushrooms, the chef came from the kitchen to speak to us and suggested another dish, money bags (in the photo), which was brilliant, and I am looking forward to having them again. I will definitely be returning here not only for the authentic Thai hospitality but also for authentic Thai food - which might be even tastier than in Thailand. 11 out of 10.

Utterly gorgeous food. The mango and sticky rice pudding was a game changer!

Just enjoyed a really gorgeous, authentic meal here, perfect portion sizes too. Beautiful presentation and some interesting starters too!

Lovely food, superb atmosphere and great service. Well worth the visit and we'll be back

Lovely meal, especially Thai green curry! Thank you 😊

Travel from Birmingham to here food was brillant, last time i was here with my wife. Quality stayed the same . Thank you

Excellent food and very good service!

Amazing service and great food.

Pleasant place with good halal Thai food

The food didn't really taste like Thai food. The portions were small and were pricey. The chilli basil dish was more like an Indian curry. The dumplings were very bland and the outside was paper thin, no taste. However, the tamarind dish was nice, but the duck was very dry and hard. Food is all halal but they serve alcohol. They don't do Thai red or Tom yum, but they did make me the Tom yum soup upon request.

Fantastic service and ambience. Beautiful restaurant with amazing choice of delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend.

Loved the music and the lamb shank was very tender

Food was excellent, really friendly service. Best Thai in South Manchester.

We stumbled across this restaurant and it’s such a fun little gem in Didsbury! We needed a restaurant that could cater for no onion, no garlic and this wasn’t an issue at all— The atmosphere was welcoming and energising with afrobeat music cheering us up, the service was pleasant, polite and swift and the food was delicious with a generous portion size. Thank you— we highly recommend you try this place ☺️

Fantastic food as always and excellent service, best Thai in Manchester

Lovely steak and an awesome Thai curry.. Food was amazing and the team were lovely Would highly recommend

Came here a while ago after wanting something different. I had the sweet and sour chicken which was more sweet than sour and tasted more like a weird dessert. Chicken and veg were very soggy and the texture was not good. Also very expensive for what was served. Waitresses were very lovely however, we could not fault the service.

Really nice restaurant, delicious food

It’s nice and beautiful dining.

Wow, absolutely amazing service, the best Thai food in Manchester for definite. Celebrated here for my partners birthday, and the atmosphere, the vibe, the service was exceptional. Super attentive, and treated us so well! 🥺 definitely recommending this restaurant to all our friends and will be coming here again for definite! Thank you for giving us the best first time experience

Wow. FABULOUS food served by lovely people. Try this place!

Lovely tasting halal food Great atmosphere to hang out with friends xxx

The food and service was really good. We had the railway rice and green curry was one of the best I have had.

Lovely. Will visit again. Can recommend the Pad Thai. :-)

Absolutely delicious! The only thing taking one star was someone was cleaning with a strong perfume and it kind of took over the delicious aromas from my plate but only for a little while. Food was outstanding!

Great food and lovely service. Been coming here a few times and never disappointed.

Fabulous food and great service. Lovely ambient atmosphere ☺️

Great food, great service. Would deff come back! Loved it

Great food, very authentic. Looks very staff and great experience

Lovely experience for a belated valentines meal. Food was so flavourful and fast to come out! Servers were super nice, all around great experience and will definitely visit again

Very delicious and very nice people

Amazing food amazing atmosphere. The DJ was amazing! 10/10

Don’t get me wrong everything inside was amazing but the curry was watered down too much .. not the flavour. Food was good though

Great food and service, will definitely be back.

We came with 4 people for a little birthday meal. The portions were small. 0 in presentation. One meal was in the specials as a main, a salad with fermented fish. It came as a small plate of only some veg without the fermented fish. The owner recognised the wrongness of that and did not charge for it. I had asked for a less spicy version of my meal and it turned out I had the more spicy one. The green chicken curry that the birthday boy had, did not have chicken pieces, they were more like small flakes. All in all not worth the money at all. Would never go there again. Only lovely thing was the little cake and singing for the birthday and staff was friendly enough, as you would expect.

Came at 7pm, small room was freezing. Menues are hard to read and make sense of. When one of us asked for less spicy meal, the meals where mixed up. Meals are small portions, no nice presentation, no flair. On Google maps it has 29 5 star reviews and pictures that are untrue and even from the Turkish deli across the road. Prices are shocking for poor quality. One dish was advertised as a special main bean salad with fermented fish. It came looking like a small side salad without fish. We complained and did not pay for that dish. Only nice thing was cake piece from the house with candle for the birthday dad. 🙏

Average food, chewy hard calamari, deep fried chichen (chicken, apparently!!), hopefully cooked chicken satay… Main courses were not better, sadly, rather tasteless massaman with dry beef and undercooked potatoes, oh dear!!! To summarise 3 starters, 2 mains 4 beers=£95 defo not worth it. We’ll know next time, won’t go back

Lots of positives, service was really good, it's smart but casual and comfy. Our starters were decent, the chicken thigh was crisp and spicy, the dumplings were tasty and very nicely presented. The Steak was really nicely cooked, and my green curry was tasty, but it could have been so much better. One of the starters and the steak should have been served on a sizzling plate, both were served on a warm griddle - so whilst both were nice they were a little disappointing. I asked for my curry ro be hotter than the two 🌶 🌶 on the menu, but if anything it came milder rather than hotter. Lastly, the advertised draught wasn't Singha wasn't available, but bottles were. Sadly they just weren't very cold. Would probably try again, with a few tweaks it could have been excellent.

Lovely family run resturant, delicious food and fantastic service can’t wait to return

Lovely meal here. Great atmosphere, well decorated. Great pad Thai and Thai green curry!

Upon entry We noticed the place was clean and aesthetically pleasing! The customer service was excellent, the staff were friendly, lovely, polite and smiley. The menu had a wide array of options with different selections of meat, chicken, duck, seafood, tofu. Good list of cocktail and mocktail options as well as coffee. We had the chicken dumplings, Pad Thai noodles with chicken and the chilli basil with King prawns. The presentation was perfect and the food was prepared fresh. The flavour was authentically amazing. One of the best Thai places I've been to! Will definitely be returning in the near future to experience the other dishes on the menu!

We booked this place as we were going to a beer festival nearby. The food was unbelievably nice. The service was friendly but perhaps not as attentive as it could be, and they had ran out of all draught beer, but the food (I think it was the tamarind duck) was really good.. so tangy and flavourful. And the atmosphere was chilled out and intimate. I rarely leave reviews but I've actually thought about this meal since eating it.. that alone is worth 5 stars.

My stomach is bursting after the delightful meal. My starter was goong Mayo and that might have been the best starter I’ve ever had. Kaeng kari Kai was my meal and it was a spicy version of chicken Korma . Overall this is a very pleasant restaurant with a nice atmosphere . I had a great time. Eric. aged 10

Staff was lovely and very attentive, the food on the other hand wasn’t great. To start we had the dumplings which were really nice, the duck spring rolls was just okay. Then the mains came the chicken dish we ordered was very greasy and tasted oily the batter was very thick wish a small amount of chicken hidden inside, the chilli and basil dish was nice but the salad was awful it can only be described as unseasoned minced chicken and a few onions on half a piece of lettuce it couldn’t have been any further from a salad, we also ordered a side of rice that came in a small plastic bag (less then a handful) and it was like a rock and inedible. We had to send both the salad and rice side back. Cocktails and wine was served quickly and the staff was really nice and understanding, the interior is really nice and could be such a nice restaurant shame the food really let it down.

The ambience was calm with lovely music in background. Staff were friendly, I didn’t have to wait long for the food and it’s really tastes nice. Wole recommended me to this restaurant and I had a nice time.

It was an amazing experience, food so tasty and well seasoned Great customer service and nice afrobeats music

the website and google maps say they are open on sundays when they aren’t ☹️☹️👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

War auf ein Abendsessen hier und es war prima. Flotter Service, gutes Essen...was will man mehr :)

Really friendly service, great atmosphere, delicious food and drinks!

Our group of 5 enjoyed a fantastic and authentic Thai meal. All the varied dishes were beautifully presented. Service was excellent. Thoroughly recommended and will happily return.

Wonderful food, I had Pad Kaprow ordered spicy and was not disappointed .🌶🌶🌶 Good service, lovely setting, was a week night so nice and chill. Chef was awesome with a fantastic smile, popped her head out to say hi which was a nice touch 👋 😀

I liked my main meal, I ordered tamarind duck. I ordered the dumplings for a starter, they didn't come with a dipping sauce. The rice side portion that you have to order separately is very small compared to your main dish and for almost £4 I would expect a bigger portion. I did struggle to decide what to order, the menu descriptions were pretty vague but I'm pleased with what I chose. For the whole experience 2Nakhon loses a star because of the service, we were there for around 3 hours and I only managed to get one drink, as someone who used to work in the hospitality industry it was drummed into us that the money is in the drinks so this really surprised me, they could have easily got a couple of bottle of wines out of our table of 4 but they didn't come and check on us we had to call them over. There was also a mix up with the starter orders, they brought the wrong ones out but one of them happened to be what mh friend ordered and so they left it on the table and we then waited for our dishes to arrive, very confusing! If I lived in the Didsbury I'd probably order take out from here to try the other dishes but with the cost of the mains without any sides starting at £15-16 its quite pricey!

Great food and ambience upstairs. Slight issue on arrival but the owner proactively resolved it and the waiter managed it excellently. Food came and it was surprisingly tasty. Good portions (except maybe the rice) and prices reasonable. Cosy place to come either for a quick meal or a special occasion. Would give 4.5/5 if that was an option but can definitely justify a 5!

Located in the heart of East Didsbury this Thai inspired restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere. It’s incredibly well designed but smaller than the picture appear. No parking but there’s is local street parking. Depending on the time you’ll find some restrictions. Service was really good and friendly. I usually pick pad Thai however chose differently. The presentation of the food was brilliant however there wasn’t much flavour. So overall a 4 star.

Amazing food definitely recommend

Food is brilliant and service is really good.

Great atmosphere with lots of nice decor and really good vibes! quick service and lovely staff. amazing food, really recommend this restaurant. 5 hygeine rating too :)

Fabulous service, friendly and attentive. Our starters were great but mains maybe lacked seasoning.

Lovely time at 2nakhon , food is delicious especially the chilli basil and grilled prawns, the decor is beautiful. Home away from home

First impression was the picture perfect space! Then the really swift service, food craft, and great tasty meals. Just be sure to specify that you want very spicy, medium spicy or no spice. The cocktails were also bomb, had the pina colada and it was ‘real’. I’d go back.

Booked the table and pay for deposit through their website but the restaurant contracted us like 1 or 2 two days before the booking, to change the reservation date but due to the timing we couldn’t make it with the change. We ask for a cancellation and a refund instead but till this day still haven’t received a refund, it’s been months! We tried calling, they never answer and no response through emails also. Such a disappointment that they basically steal £60 from me.

All round, this was a very bad experience. The service couldn’t have been worse - we were given the wrong food, a curry was missed, the wrong wine was served, and we were told a tofu curry was chicken. To top it off, my husband found a hair in his food. We asked to see the manager and there was absolutely no apology and then he only agreed to take the rice off the bill, not the curry. An apology would have gone a long way. This was all a great shame as there was some tasty food amongst the awful service.

Great food, great cocktails. Will be back

Really good quality food. Will come again

Best kalamari I've ever had! Super friendly staff, great vibe. Would definitely come again

Lovely flavourful food, great portions and even better service! We will definitely be coming back!
