Bangkok Bistro in Winchester

What a find! We were so lucky to have stumbled apon thus restaurant whilst visiting the Christmas markets. Delicious, freshly prepared food and excellent, friendly service.

What a find !! Really lovely friendly personal service and superb food. Freshly cooked flavoursome and just perfect!! So often a Thai seems to serve premade or batch meals. This is NOT one of these. A rare find and will be back. Thank you!!

This place never disappoints! We came here for a 50th birthday and we were looked after brilliantly by Murat and the team. The food was (as always) amazing and the wine delicious. Thank you as always for an amazing night.

Great restaurant for a birthday dinner. Welcoming atmosphere, Murat was very helpful and entertaining explaining the menu. Food was excellent quality and so tasty. We even tried Thai wine which was lovely and would definitely have again! Thank you for making our birthday celebration fab! Would 100% recommend this place and we will be back :-)

A birthday meal with friends in the Bangkok Brasserie. I can’t say enough good things about our evening, the service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! We chose different dishes and they were all exceptional, I would definitely recommend a visit!

We celebrated a birthday with a group of friends & family (Inc 2 children). The service was fantastic. Our table was decorated on arrival and the birthday boy was greeted with his favourite tipple. The food was so delicious and beautifully presented, they made a few tweaks to accommodate the children which was really helpful. The restaurant itself was busy, a vibrant atmosphere and an all round great place to eat and drink.

Fabulous meal out. The food was full of flavour and well presented. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Each dish on arrival was accompanied by an recommendation of which sauces went best with each dish. We were offered a delay between starters and main courses if we wanted which we was nice as we then didn't feel rushed. The portion sizes were generous and the overall experience was one of relaxed dining and being well looked after.

Once again a faultless experience, excellent food and wine, hospitality, hygiene, service , cleanliness, all first rate. Our favourite Asian restaurant by far....we are regulars, and for us Bangkok is simply the best.

We had a fabulous meal here to celebrate a family birthday. Food was amazing, service outstanding. They even put birthday sprinkles on the table for our arrival and brought a complimentary whisky for the birthday boy. Thank you! We have just moved to Winchester so expect we'll become regulars!

My fiancée and I didn’t know this place had opened and on an afternoon in the town we dropped by last-minute for dinner before heading home. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, service was prompt and very communicative and the food was absolutely brilliant. (True to the menu, the jungle curry is hot!) Although it isn’t a cheap dinner, it’s worth the price and a lovely setting for a more romantic, thought-out dinner. Would recommend and will be back!

Wow. This was simply the best food I have eaten in the last 2 years living in Winchester. The food was so fresh and delicious and the prawn crackers were unbelievably delicious. On top of all this the service was exceptional and Murat was the perfect host. I will be back.

Service at its finest and delicious food, but most importantly - service at its finest. Drinks and snacks were on our table less than a minute after our party of 6 was seated. All meals came quick, whenever something was not served at the same time as other meals (a main ordered as a starter), 3 people apologised and it was served 1 minute later. Incredibly fast, friendly, attentive and seamless service, you don't notice the staff but notice how good of a time you're having. Everything is fresh, clean, efficient, friendly. I enjoyed my order more than most meals in the city of Bangkok in Thailand. Prawn crackers are the best I've ever tried, nothing compared to the bulk bag pink things from takeaway. Everything we had was full of flavour but not greasy and not resulting in "restaurant-full" stomachs. The decor is simple but classy, the seating is well spaced out so even with the place full it doesn't feel like we're too close to other guests. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable but extremely well organised. We came after finding out that Murat has moved from Loch Fyne (closed in 2020 over Covid) and were not disappointed. There was a queue at the bar as we were leaving which says how sought after the place is. The place was buzzing, you could tell how happy everyone was with their dinners, couples, parties, families with small children. Bangkok Bistro is our home restaurant now. I can see it climbing to #1 in Winchester in no time.

OMG just the best food in Winchester by far. We came here for my birthday because last time was so good and this time was even better. All of the food was sublime and Murat remembered us from last time (remembering my name after 2 months was seriously impressive). I can’t wait to come back. Thank you again for an amazing evening.

An absolutely wonderful meal with friends. We arrived with no notice and they accommodated our table of 6. Half of us had the set menu which is exceptional and the other half throughly enjoyed their choices. The food tastes fresh and vibrant and the staff is extremely welcoming. I can’t wait to go back.

I've never been a big fan of Thai cuisine, but the reviews I had seen were so good that I thought that it must be worth a try. I am so glad that we went, as it was really excellent. The food was very good, we had the set meal for 2, so we could try several dishes. They were all delicious, I particularly liked the chicken with mango. The service was polite, attentive, quick and efficient. I'd definitely be back.

Without any doubt the best Thai food in Winchester . Food is simply superb , the new larger location is excellent and the staff all attentive and professional, lead expertly by Murat who is clearly very experienced and professional. An absolute must for Thai in Winchester ,

Great food quality. Good service. Limited wine list. Would recommend. Moved from smaller site opposite so modern building.

First time visiting and won’t be our last! Delicious food, fabulous service and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Food was ok nothing special but was very expensive. We would not come back and certainly would not recommend this place.

Came here with my friend after looking for places to eat in Winchester. Excellent service and excellent food. The wine was very reasonably priced and very good. We will definitely be back we had a lovely evening.

Wow, what an amazing meal we had here. The vegetable spring rolls were some of the best we've had, The Thai Green Curry (with beef) WAS the best we've ever had and the Duck Massaman was exceptional. We also loved the Vegetable Fried Rice. Service was welcoming & friendly and we were given just the right level of attention throughout. We hope to return in the not too distant future.

With my wife we visited Winchester for some Saturday visiting and shopping. We chose this place for lunch because the menu looked good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The tables were specious and relaxing. We had a couple of starters and mains and sides. I am Coeliac and their GF choices were numerous and staff were super helpful. I am not an expert in Thai food however I thought it was a wonderful blend of spicy with refreshing flavours. All very tasty and cooked beautifully. We will be back again.

If you enjoy a wide variety of Thai dishes then this is the place to be. Food was great, service was excellent and perfect choice.

Even though it was a quiet night in January, midweek, the reception was fantastic. The staff were attentive and the food was amazing. Particularly the duck tamarind. It was bloody exceptional … We were very well looked after by everybody and the Manager Murat could not have looked after us any better. Thank you so much. I have booked a table with my girlfriends in a couple of weeks time. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

lovely food, great variety for vegetarians and vegans. Staff were attentive, friendly and made the night a joyful experience. The food was delicious and fresh and staff were able to give knowledgeable advice on menu choices.

Great place to eat! Affordable, service is very good! The staff is well trained, professional and really pleasant. The food is very good and the atmosphere also. Our waiter Will was very helpful with the menu and was very into attention to details

Lovely setting and amazing food (Tamarind duck and green curry, unbelievable!) Murat was superb with a deep knowledge of the menu, providing perfect recommendations. finished up with Sorbet and a delicious coffee...would definitely recommend and look forward to returning soon (also a lovely new larger location from our previous visit)

Met a friend here for lunch, calm atmosphere with excellent service, food was delicious and will definitely return as menu was interesting and varied

4 friends, each ordered different dishes, everyone very happy with what we received. Clean plates all round, what more can I say? Service spot on; delightful staff. Everything was clean and the service attentive but not in your face. Will definitely return and totally recommend.

Always a treat to have a meal here when in Winchester. Excellent food, including gluten free options for coeliac , relaxing ambiance and tip top service. We liked the new restaurant. Lovely, welcoming owner. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.

This was my fourth visit to this restaurant (although now in a bigger venue across the road). We always come to this restaurant when visiting Winchester as the food and service are absolutely amazing. Although very busy due to the Christmas market we didn’t have...

We booked last minute as we were staying in Winchester for the Christmas market. Seeing the reviews I thought we’d give it a try. We weren’t disappointed, the food was lovely and the service was great. They unfortunately gave me beef instead of chicken in...

Superb Thai cuisine with fabulous flavours. My husband likes it fiery and I like it a lot milder. He was very pleased with his seafood salad and chicken jungle curry while I had the sweetcorn fritters and a superb cashew nut chicken stir fry and...

Fabulous food as always. Our favourite restaurant in Winchester. The sea bass is a delight with great portions. Amongst the family we have a shellfish allergy, vegan and vegetarian and we are all easily accommodated. It’s a MUST place to eat.

My wife and I shared the set meal for two, the food was absolutely superb and the service was second to none. We arrived 30 minute early for our reservation, it was not a problem. The staff were very attentive but we weren't rushed at...

All we can say is, awesome in every way. Thank you for such a welcoming, relaxing and extremely tasty meal. I would recommend everyone to try the vegan feast, it was stunning. The staff were out of this world, so attentive. A really lovely evening...

Lovely evening with friends. Food was delicious and staff very friendly and attentive. Busy and popular - happy to recommend.

Very attentative & helpful staff. We had booked for 6 PM so restaurant was empty, by time we had finished ir was packed. Tables so close together, not a pleasant experience. Perhaps when they move across the road this will not happen. Had mixed platter...

We had a booking on a busy Friday night but turned up really early as we were passing (and it was very, very cold out) and they were really kind in welcoming us in and accommodating us with a warm seat and a drink while...

If you like Thai food then this is some of the best we've ever had. Great recommendations from the staff and everyone was so attentive and kind. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic meal last night! Lovely clean restaurant, food was delicious, hot, service was fantastic- couldn’t ask for better!

Absolutely amazing in every way . Authentic interesting and delicious Thai food , cooked at authentic spice level. Best I've ever had. Staff/ service were fantastic ( even though we found out later that they were short staffed that evening, you wouldn't know ) ....

The service, food, and ambiance was absolutely amazing! Good luck with your move opposite the street ! We will be back when you are settled xx

Thank you to Bangkok Bistro who went above and beyond and delivered a delicious meal to a friend when no other restaurant that I called could do so. Friday is a busy evening and therefore I am all the more appreciative. I have not personally...

Stunning, best Thai food outside of London.Thank you for keeping the kitchen open for an extra 30 minutes for us……………..

We have been looking for an excellent Thai restaurant for quite some time to replace the one we used to go to many times ( sadly before it closed down ). There are a few local to me, but non are anything special, and quite...

Everything superb. Food superb as was service and a nice touch asking if we were OK with the service charge. Never experienced this level of courtesy before anywhere. Will definitely return ASAP.

A great meal in good ambiance with very helpful and friendly service. Not the cheapest meal but the quality was worth the little extra. The staff also sorted a problem with the bill without fuss. A good place to visit and highly recommend the platters.

Finally had the chance to go and it didn't disappoint... quite the opposite! The food was outstanding, and service really nice and friendly Even the Thai wine was good... and it was relatively cheap. Great place!

Such a lovely restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. A knowledgeable waiter, very reasonably priced and good sized portions. Amazing quality ingredients and flavours and that comes through 🤤 Not sure how this place doesn't have more reviews but I will certainly be going back in a hurry!

Service was impeccable, from start to finish. Very cosy, intimate dining space, with great atmosphere. The shared starter was fantastic, we enjoyed it throughly. The Thai curries were tasty, and came with steamed sticky rice. I recommend the mango chicken curry, which included serval spices...

Brilliant restaurant. Food is very very good and waiting staff are friendly, attentive and welcoming.

The best Thai restaurant experience , in my opinion. I am a good cook, but find I tend to dine here more than I do at home! The whole experience is first class. From the knowledge able welcoming owner and excellent managers, the waiting staff,...

I must say I had given up on Thai restaurants. Always mediocre and I have been trying hard. After a recommendation from Kyoto kitchen I gave it a go and it was great. I will definitely come back.

A superb, friendly restaurant in the heart of Winchester. The food was delicious and service excellent. Great atmosphere too - hope to return.

Beautiful food and incredible service! Very helpful with gluten allergy; offering lots of choice. Definitely a place to return to.

This was probably one of the best meals we have had at a restaurant for a long time. Red Thai curry and basil stir fry were our choices and both dishes were of excellent quality. We started with a platter for two which was also...

We had an fantastic Thai lunch for two. Service was excellent and my wife, who is coeliac, was well catered for with full knowledge of their Gluten Free options. We had Red Curry with Chicken and Cashew Nut Chicken. Really tasty and well presented.

We had a fantastic lunch here. Staff were friendly, decor was beautiful, they have delightful sets matching crockery and the food was delicious. Toilets were very clean. Nothing to fault. Absolutely wonderful!

Excellent Thai food, attentive service. Recommend the Tamarind Duck and Cashew Nut chicken. Friendly service, clean, very flavorful.

From the time we entered to the time we departed, the warmth of the service was superb. We shared platters for appetisers and had Kour Kling and jungle curries. What can I say - all of it was great. Washed down with Singha…… what more...

For food, service and atmosphere 'Bankok' has no rival in Hampshire. We have now made three visits, and there has never been any inconsistency in quality. I would like to recommend a particular dish, but the truth is that whatever you order from the menu,...

This definitely lives up to the reviews. Unreal food. Had a selection of everything. Whole family loved it!

The mixed starter was OK but not very Thai, it included a small lamb chop curiously. I ordered a Pad Thai which was not authentic at all. Pretty disappointing overall.

A truly authentic Thai restaurant with superb service. The staff go above and beyond and made our evening very special. Will definitely be back when we are next in Winchester!

Really good food with a helpful,knowledgeable team serving. We had spring rolls and Satay to start, with duck and cashews with sticky rice, and pad Thai. Lots of cashews and plenty of food. The were helping an elderly couple who had no knowledge of Thai...

A fantastic little restaurant at the top of Winchester. The waiter was very attentive and had a lot of passion for the food and Thailand which was great. The food was delicious with a great depth of flavour. We had a vegetarian platter, a red...

Fitted us in at very short notice, not long before closing time. Incredibly friendly and attentive service and amazingly quick service of absolutely delicious food. Cannot recommend highly enough.

As regular Thailand visitors, we like to find authentic flavours, and this was delivered. Duck spring rolls and Thai fish cakes gave an excellent start. Sea bass in banana leaf very flavoursome; the duck main course excellent. Would recommend

The best Thai restaurant I have visited. Every aspect is 10 out of 10 for food, service, ambience, friendliness,cleanliness and hygiene.

Yet again another amazing lunch @ Bangkok Bistro. As starter we had the sharing platter - the lamb chops are the tastiest so far; and as mains we had the chicken Panang and Thai Style Steak. Thank you Team BB for having us

We had a short stay in Winchester and booked Bangkok as we really enjoy Thai and it was well rated. Our experience was very memorable. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, the service was impeccable (thank you Murat). Similarly, the...

Amazing food, so many different flavours, very friendly and engaging staff, nothing was too much trouble. They even shared a recipe with us. My friends can’t wait to return to Winchester. I on the other hand will pop in very soon.

Everything we ate at Bangkok Bistro was fresh and flavorful. The portions were a reasonable size and it was easy to share several dishes.

Good food and friendly service. Menu is extensive with plenty to choose from. Will definitely revisit next time in Winchester

Food was ok, though spicing was a little bland. Front of house staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not the most authentic Thai food we’ve had, quite under seasoned and westernised. Certainly not as spicy as advertised for chosen dishes.

Had the taster menu for two which was superb, lots of variety - all very tasty Restaurant a bit noisy, but we were a couple sitting next to quite a big group - it didn’t spoil our experience

The best Thai restaurant I have been too, and I have tried many. Everything from Service, food, cleanliness, drinks, ambience and atmosphere is first class. The owner and managers have the formula for success.

Delicious evening meal for our wedding anniversary. My husband told them when we booked and when we were shown to our table there were little decorations all over the table. After our meal we were presented with a glass of fizz each! A lovely touch...

Just like to start by saying the food is delicious. One of the best Thai foods I’ve had. The reason for the 3 stars is the rushed service. Our table was booked for 1945. We had finished our meal and were being bombarded with desert...

Fantastic restaurant tucked away at the top of Winchester. Food is really good, but the best thing is the individual attention given to you by the owner. He makes you feel as if you are the most special person there. Beautifully presented and just perfect...

Excellent service, even though I was stupid enough to book the wrong day!! 🤦‍♂️ They made us feel welcome and accommodated! The food was by far the best Thai I’ve tasted in Winchester, especially the the lamb massaman, so full of flavour!!! Would highly recommend...

This restaurant is special, as the last 40 reviews make abundantly obvious. We are widely travelled, and it is rare for us to give any restaurant a 5 star rating, but this one truly merits all the superlatives lavished on it. These reviews are all,...

Had a fantastic meal here yesterday. Service and food were amazing. Murat gave good advice on the good and we were very impressed with the set menu. Will definitely recommend and go back. Thank you again Murat and staff.

As always a wonderful meal at our favourite Thai restaurant. Excellent authentic food and attentive and friendly staff. This Thursday night the restaurant was full, and the kitchen delivered dishes which were truly fantastic and without fluster The 5 star standard is always consistent. Thank...

This is our favourite Winchester restaurant. It is always a great meal with exceptional service here, and today was no exception. The chicken Massaman curry with coconut rice was amazing, would highly recommend this. The perfect birthday lunch.

We have visited this place quite a few times recently and the quality of the food is exceptional. Lots of vegan choices for the wife and every dish we have tried is cooked to perfection. Lovely friendly staff, great wine list...what's not too like. Be...

Party of 14, service was great, very attentive. Confusion over one main quickly & sensitively addressed. Food delicious, sharing starters a must! Highly recommended

What a fabulous find! Great looking restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. The service was outstanding - friendly and quick. The food was excellent, great choice, the quality and flavour was excellent. Thanks for a fabulous meal and the perfect place for a family celebration.

Collected meal costing almost £50 tasted truly terrible I’m afraid to say. All four items were almost inedible. I can’t believe this is normal but maybe too busy for a Saturday night.

This is the second time we have been good and service 10/10 The portions are so generous my husband had to help finish my main course

Excellent restaurant with amazing customer services. Recommended dishes we might like based on our usual favourite Thai meals and they dishes were delicious! Great choice of seafood on the menu. Definitely a place to try and we will be back again soon. Thank you for...

Excellent food, great wine. Put confetti on the table for our anniversary and even gave us a glass of Prosecco on the house! The food was the best Thai I’ve had in England! YUM

We booked here because of all the positive reviews and it did not disappoint. Our table was booked for 19:45pm and was ready on arrival. The restaurant was packed which is always a good sign. All the staff were lovely and attentive. Menu was extensive...

I cannot tell you what a fabulous time we had here on Saturday! The food was amazing and so authentic. The food and drinks menu are very reasonably priced but best of all was the service. Our Turkish born host was amazing and let us...

Made us feel special and had our full attention throughout the meal. Service was 2nd to none, as was the food could not fault attention to detail.

I took my 16 year old son for lunch midweek. We had prawn crackers, spring rolls, pad Thai and a red curry. Wow. So yummy. Tasty and not too spicy. The staff were friendly and engaged with everyone in the restaurant. When we were asked...

I have been to Thailand five times, and to many, many Thai restaurants around the UK, so I know what I’m talking about. As a very quick summary, if you like high class Thai food of the utmost taste and quality, then come to this...

Incredible food and service. Especially the scallops which were some of the tastiest I’d ever had. Cheaper than expected for the experience we had tonight!

Our second visit - both times the attentiveness of the manager has been really noticeable and welcomed. A personal touch supported by such a great menu it makes it hard to choose. A buzz to the environment and a decent wine list too! Can highly...
