Arunothai in Ashfield

Hidden gem in Nottingham, delicious food and superb service

Delicious food, authentic and really tasty. We had Thai fish cakes, Chicken skewers. Dumplings and Ribs to start. Then The steamed Sea Bass (my personal favorite, so delicate and tasty) King Prawn mango salad, Chicken Jungle Curry (hot but amazing) Pad Thai, and sticky rice. And qe shared everything, for 4. Was just the right amount ad we were all very satisfied. I'll definitely return. ☺️

Tan decepcionado una vez más con este tailandés. Pedí y recogí esto como siempre. Gastamos la mayor parte de £ 40 con un descuento del 10% para la recogida. Hemos notado que cada vez que hemos estado últimamente, no solo la comida es cada vez más escasa. Tampoco sabe tan fresco ya. Pedimos los satays de pollo con salsa de maní, ¡en realidad no puedo creer lo pequeños que son los satays de pollo ahora! Pedimos x 2 comidas principales, normalmente hay mucha verdura, tuvimos como x 2 piezas de verdura... tan apretado! También pedimos los pad mee (fideos de huevo), ya ni siquiera llenan la caja de plástico. Muy decepcionado, todavía con hambre y que realmente es la última vez que vamos a pedir de ellos!

Consistently good authentic food and great service. Been here many times and have never been disapointed. Decided to go on a whim a week ago, they fitted us in, even though they were busy. Excellent as alway.

Pleasant surroundings serving enjoyable food. Booked to go again

Travelled over an hour to find this hidden gem to celebrate my mother’s birthday and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was brilliant. 5 stars 👍👍

Had vegetarian dish - Noodles Was lovely Will try rice next time. The guy was serving was nice

Stunning food, great portion sizes. We’ve been a few times now and the quality never changes. We definitely recommend Arunothai 🙂

Perfect in every way. Thank you 🙏

Gran pequeño restaurante, comida fantástica, gran servicio y buena relación calidad-precio que es raro en estos días. Esta es la 4a vez que he estado y ha sido genial cada vez

Fabuloso restaurante local de alta calidad de comida tailandesa servida con un montón de amor y atención. El personal es muy bienvenido y siempre amable. Usamos este lugar para nuestra noche especial

Really good food, excellent service and atmosphere & a very reasonable price.

One of the best Thai restaurants around, and thankfully for me at the end of my road , brilliant food , great service from the hard working staff and a great atmosphere, we dined mid week and it was still busy, booking a table is advised as it’s not a very big restaurant , small off street car park close by, but plenty of parking on Farleys lane if that’s full

Gran restaurante tailandés. Probablemente el mejor de Nottingham. Comida tailandesa de estilo auténtico. esta fue nuestra segunda visita y disfrutamos mucho de nuevo, Personal amable y atento. Me encanta!

Amazing, been twice now and will go again. Good service good food.

Cena en ArunoThai Farleys Lane, Hucknall. Nuestro restaurante tailandés favorito en Notts. Hemos venido aquí desde el día en que abrieron. Actualmente están celebrando su undécimo año de trading, lo que demuestra lo buenos que son. Hemos perdido la cuenta en las numerosas veces que hemos cenado aquí. El chef y el personal son tailandeses, lo que se suma a la generosidad de la comida y la decoración del restaurante. Cuando vamos a otras ciudades del país nos gusta probar otras para comparar. Seguimos volviendo aquí, ya que en ninguna parte hay un parche en este lugar. La cantidad de veces que hemos visitado aquí, debemos haber probado todo el menú. En esta ocasión pedimos algunos de sus nuevos Chef Specials, para variar de nuestro habitual ir a platos. Dicho esto, empezamos con el Thai Platter, que es una necesidad. Puedes probar todos los entrantes favoritos en un plato para compartir. Para la red tuvimos NUEA PAD HORAPA Revuelve el solomillo frito con ajo, chiles frescos, cebollas, pimientos finos, cebollas y hojas de albahaca servidos en un plato chispeante. KWAY TEOW TALAY PAD CHAA Un sabroso plato de fideos picantes, gambas reales, calamares, mejillones salteados juntos, verduras mezcladas en soja oscura con hierbas tailandesas, chiles frescos, brotes de bambú, maíz bebé, frijoles finos, granos de pimienta verde, raíz de dedo y hojas de albahaca. CHOO CHEE PLA Pescado crujiente deshuesado cubierto con un rico sabor picante rojo seco salsa de curry, cocinado en leche de coco y hojas de kaffir. Con un poco de nuestro arroz de coco favorito. Toda la comida se cocina fresca a la orden y es absolutamente delicioso. Lo bueno de aquí es que puedes pedir el nivel de picante de los platos. Puede tener menos especias o más, dependiendo de su preferencia. Son muy serviciales, y están muy enfocados al cliente. Si usted no puede lograr viajar a Tailandia para probar la comida y la hospitalidad, este lugar es sin duda la siguiente mejor cosa. Sin el jet lag. También hacen comida para llevar si no quieres arrastrarte del fútbol.

A spur of the moment craving took us to this fantastic Thai restaurant in Hucknall. We hadn't booked, but that was no trouble (however, I would encourage as the restaurant was nearly full), we were met and seated before looking through the extensive menu - Loads of choice. We settled on a set menu, to try as many dishes as possible, and everyone was flavourful and delicious. Drinks were reasonably priced, service was excellent and surroundings great. No hesitation recommending a fantastic restaurant like this.

Amazing Father's Day meal at Arunothai. It was our first time eating here and we couldn't have been happier that we picked here to celebrate. The service was impeccable, the food was outstanding and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will definitely be returning for many more meals and celebrations. Thank you team for making our Father's Day so special.

A lovely cosy, friendly and decorated space with accommodative servers that are eager to help you with your menu choices, and any queries in general. The atomsphere is very positive and seeming by how good the food is, the wait times are minimal! Warm towels are offered at the end of your meal so that you can wipe your hands which is a very nice touch, alongside the many paintings, plants and statues! Would definitely reccommend this place for any gathering, just remember to book a reservation in advance for gatherings with 4 or more people, so that the staff may preapre your table in advance!

My friend and I ate here last night and WOW, for such a quaint place in a location that's quite off the beaten track in Hucknall....it was AMAZING!! I have eaten a lot of Thai and Asian food around the Nottingham area, it's one of my favourite cuisines. I've eaten at Giggling Squid in West Bridgford, Paste Nottingham and many others... this place surpasses them all in terms of the food itself and the service. The flavours were absolutely incredible!! Definitely worth a visit and a longer journey for those living in the centre of Nottingham, otherwise you are truly missing out on a HIDDEN GEM!

I love this place. The food as amazing and the service is great.

too long since we've eaten here and again amazing food with a personal touch service

Prawns crackers were good. Less greasy Curries were flavorful. Fried rice had raisins in them. Portion size of each time was smaller for dinner time

Probably one of the best Thai restaurant's in the area. Very friendly staff the food is second to known always served piping hot and at a reasonable price .Have used this place for many years.

Lovely food. Staff pleasant and helpful as ever 😊

Great Food and excellent service

Fast friendly service with delicious food. Would recommend 1000x over.

Excellent food. Well flavoured, not too heavy and each dish is distinct. Menu has lots of variety and there are some child-friendly dishes too. Very friendly staff. Not the cheapest but well worth it. I'd love to go there more often.

Enjoyed a lovely upmarket dining experience today on the outskirts of Hucknall-- a late Mother's day treat. Tasteful, leafy decor and Thai ornaments added to the exotic ambiance while we enjoyed the subtle flavours of the artistically presented dishes.👏👏👏 Everything was very flavourful and the staff attentive and friendly. The wine is surprisingly reasonably priced, too! Definitely be going there again soon.😊

A fantastic Thai restaurant, amazing food, friendly service and a wonderful ambience.

Nice beautiful place, lovely food 😋

One of our favorite restaurants..... happened upon it many years ago and it was very quiet, but still amazing. The secret is definitely out, you will likely need to book now or have a takeaway as everyone has found this gem. The food is exceptional and flavorsome, the staff are incredibly busy, but remain attentive and kind beyond measure. It is an absolutely fantastic Thai restaurant and the fact that they cater well for vegetarians as well is a bonus for us.

Amazing flavours, presentation, nice atmosphere lovely valentine's meal, highly recommended 👌

Greeted by friendly staff who were very attentive but not pushy. The food was incredible and great value for money, cannot recommend it enough, will definitely be back!! Thanks guys

Very nice food staff could be more attentive to make it a special evening food hot and fresh have had a better thai meal. but pretty good

Fantastic restaurant 👌 great experience all round, looking forward to going again 😀

Brilliant food as always! Although very busy (which is already a good sign) the staff were still exceptionally helpful, pleasant and friendly. The dishes were served in typical thai fashion, little bamboo purses or wrapped in leaves, beautifully presented, depending on what the dish was but altogether a lovely evening, thank-you!

Fabulous food and extremely helpful and pleasant staff, even when the restaurant is packed, which it was last-night mid-week! Love the presentation of the dishes, and the flavors are amazing! Can't wait to get back there.

Nice food and nice staff, it’s the second time I come here

Excellent Food -- Nice atmosphere-Friendly staff will diffently be Returning Thank you

Amazing food, lovely staff and could eat at your own pace, wasn’t rushed at all. New favourite and can’t wait for the next visit

Nice food and great service. Would recommend

Fabulous place to experience real Thai cuisine. A great choice of starters and different types of main dishes, including noodles, thai soups, rice dishes, specialist meat, fish and vegetable dishes plus lots, lots more! Spoilt for choice! Also, a choice of fixed price meals ranging in price. Chose the mixed starter platter for 2 - delicious and generous. For mains I had the king prawns with rice noodles - again, it was perfect. Service was excellent and the meal was very good value for money. Restaurant is pleasantly set out in typical east Asian decor. Overall a perfect Asian experience. Will definitely go again!

Me and my friends had an absolute wonderful time here, loved the food and service. The jasmine tea was exquisite and the hot towels afterwards was a beautiful touch. All round brilliant and we will be back. Much love.

Very good service. Excellent food and reasonably priced. Will definitely come again.

Been coming to Arunothai for years now with family and friends, and never had a bad experience. Great staff and great food, recommend to everyone!

We went here with friends who visit possibly every week . Lovely environment, friendly service and outstanding food . I can see why our friends visit weekly . We will definitely be going again .

Really friendly service. Every meal we have had here is unbelievable, delicious, and well presented. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food and service will be back

What a lovely place. Food was amazing. Staff were friendly and did a great job. The atmosphere was really nice. It was quiet and private but still lovely. I will definitely be going again.

Not sure what's happened to this place as I have been many times and it's been good. Tom yum soup was horrendous, no flavour at all or spice.. Pad Thai was very average..

We had a lovely time at arunothai restaurant. There’s small free parking lot just outside the restaurant but only have spaces for 6-7 cars. The inside is not very spacious but quite cozy and the decorations surely make you feel like you’re dining in Thailand! Service is top notched and foods overall are delicious although doesn’t fancy much of egg fried rice. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Arunothai is my favourite and my go-to restaurant and take away in Hucknall. The food is delicious, the staff are great and best of all they have a lot of gluten-free options available.

Great place to have a great meal different from usual places

Excellent food and service. Good value for money and plenty of choice very friendly staff.

Great food and service. The menu has something for everyone. Will return soon.

Everything about this place was great, except that they seemed to have left the chilli out of all the dishes. I am pretty sure authentic Thai food should be searingly hot, yet even the spiciest (3 chilli) dishes on the menu were only vaguely warm. I appreciate not everyone likes heat, but offering people a choice might help keep everyone happy.

"Arunothai Restaurant: A Hidden Treasure in Hucknall! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arunothai Restaurant, and I must say, it's truly a hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to make my dining experience memorable. Now, let's talk about the food. It's safe to say that Arunothai offers some of the best Thai cuisine I've ever tasted. Each dish was bursting with authentic flavors .

Amazing atmosphere, authentic food and friendly service, would definitely recommend the seasonal specials.

Fabulous as always , really great food

Incredible food at a really good price!

We have been coming here for years. The food is authentic and cooked fresh to order. Practically tried most of the menu. Our favourites are the Thai green curry and fish dishes. On a sunny day, it's great to sit on their terrace. Service is attentive and friendly. For a true taste of Thailand,there is no better. Forget the chains and try the best independent Thai restaurant in Nottinghamshire. Highly recommended.

Great service x can't fault anything about Arunothai x thankyou for another wonderful meal xx

I absolutely loved this restaurant! My father took me and my sister for something to eat and I fell in love! They provide a huge range of vegan food. I had to take my partner a week later and she loved it as much as I did. We will definitely be going there again

Lovely food. Fantastic staff. We have been working our way through the menu on different visits for a few months now. The car parking is more than adequate. No problem if the booking is for 2 people or a larger group, you get the same attention and service regardless of what you spend.

Food was fabulous and great atmosphere. They struggled to bring everything out together for a party of 8, but other than that it was delicious food and would go again next time I am in Benidorm! Go and try it!

The food and service was amazing. You was not rushed, everyone was friendly and the food came quickly cooked to perfection. The house wine is lovely and a definite recommend I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to have authentic Thai cuisine

Hidden gem. Food superb, customer service amazing. Cannot fault. Veggie shared starter was beautiful. Speciality seabass dish highly recommended

Really lovely restaurant, great service and delicious food. Had dumplings for starter then papaya salad and curry duck for mains with noodles as a side. All was very flavourful and cooked to perfection.

Lovely warm welcome , and excellent service , food excellent has always ,recommend to all, love the som tam green papaya salad spicy crunchy MMMMMM needs a few more peanuts ?

Absolutely amazing food and service, felt very welcomed and the price was quite reasonable too. The set menus are a great way to try out multiple dishes.

Absoletly delicious meal, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Most definitely will come back.

Been dining here regularly for several years, latterly with my late mother and it's a hidden gem. The restaurant is full on Saturday lunchtime, speaks for itself. Had a chat with a couple who had won their lunch on a raffle and were delighted, could not speak highly enough and would be returning. The owners Adrian and Leo offer service with attention and precision. Nothing is too much trouble. Superb beer terrace for after dinner coffee. A lovely place for Thai food and in my opinion takes some beating. Thanks to Adrian, Leo and superb chefs.

Lovely food, lovely staff, great service as always

Fantastic food, full of flavour and colour's , very friendly and pleasant employees. 😁👍

Absolutely love Arunothai. Delicious food with great service in a nice atmosphere. You couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended.

Loved it, the food was fantastic 😙

A great authentic Thai experience. Staff is very lovely and all their dishes are spot on with blast of flavour! I will recommend to try whole fish grilled in banana leaf 🤪 pad Thai is so classic, but so tasty here! Oh I forgot to mention my fav chicken coconut soup! Place I always like to come back for some more. Enjoy!

Fantastic little restaurant.I have been several times and would highly recommend it

Had a fantastic meal on Saturday. Very tasty and fresh. Many thanks we will definitely be dining here again 😊

Excellent food and excellent service.

This was my wife's favourite restaurant, during her treatment we wasn't able to go in person as we used to, but we did get the odd takeaways. This was our first visit after her passing. It was hard to dine with my children and her not there with us, but Adrian and Leo was absolutely fantastic. They did what they do best, and serve amazing authentic food with relaxed service. This is definitely one of our favourite Thai restaurants in Nottingham. 10/10

Fantastic food, very friendly staff and atmosphere. Our first visit, so we selected a banquet meal to get a good selection, and we were not disappointed. We are planning our next visit and will select our usual dishes plus some of the new ones we were lucky to sample. Coconut rice, lightly battered pork stir fry, and Arunothai mixed platter appetiser were amazing. The whole table was mmmm at every mouthful, a beautiful tasting meal.

Outstanding cuisine, delicate flavours all beautifully presented...it was like a work of art for the senses! Highly recommended 😀

Always great service and nice food. Portions are not huge so keep that in mind.

Really enjoyed the food. The service was good, attentive without being intrusive. A lovely evening and my wife enjoyed it too.

Again a lovely meal, friendly staff, great service with fairly priced excellent food and wine. love the crunchy Som tam

Good Thai food and very friendly service.

Eaten here several times now. Delicious food. Wine is great value. A lovely nostalgic atmosphere which was comfortable, welcoming and cosy. A nice, chilled way to spend a Friday evening.

Totally first class, the food is on another level of taste, highly recommend the red chicken curry & coconut rice. Gorgeous

Myself and my wife have been to Arunothai on several occasions and have had an excellent experience in so much that the staff were friendly and the quality of food was excellent.

Absolutely exceptional service, atmosphere, decor, food and value. 20% off on Sundays too! Staff were completely friendly, helpful, attentive, caring and such. Food was incredibly flavoursome, cooked just right and presented and served absolutely beautifully and perfectly. Extremely happy with experience, will gladly visit again and easily my favourite restaurant now. Thanks very much! Wonderful relaxing ambient 80s music playing too! *Just updating this review as we ate here again yesterday and everybody absolutely loved it, including myself! Even the more strict members of our group really enjoyed the food and were singing its praises. Service was excellent, very professional and friendly, the decor is incredible, so beautiful, atmosphere, tranquil abd the addition of Halloween directions made it even better! We really had such a fantastic time, we all loved our dishes and it was one of the most tastiest meals we've ever had. Some people were new to Thai food and now are huge fans too, in the same way the rest of us were introduced to it too. So much flavour, perfectly cooked, with delicious chichen, crunchy vegetables, sauces, rice etc and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful, soul pleasing experience. Thank you so much!*

Visited last night the restaurant was quite busy we had booked. We were shown to our table straight away. We had a meal served as per the menu pipping hot a very nice bottle of wine and finished with coffee. The attention of the staff...

A wonderful experience. All in my party (8) enjoyed their food. Friendly staff as well.

Wonderful experience. Nice intimate restaurant with friendly staff who weren't pushy and available when required. We all enjoyed our food. We also thought the portions were on the small side however, it was a perfect amount (starter, main and drinks). Definitely be going there again!

Really nice food, pleasant and friendly service. Recommended restaurant!
