Bangkok Pavillion in Dover

We have been to this restaurant on five occasions and have enjoyed the excellent food each time. Unfortunately on two out of the five visits there was a significant over charging of the final bill. Fortunately the most recent amount - £70 - was spotted prior to paying. Regrettably on the previous occasion this happend the £35 overcharging was only discovered the next morning. The low score given for service is not a reflection of the charming female servers but due to the absence of an apology from the management.

Fantastic meal last night, great service, nice atmosphere, would definitely return

Excellent food, attentive service, prices completely reasonable!

We visited Deal for the weekend and booked a table here for Saturday night. Walking through town there was hardly anybody about but when we got to the restaurant it was packed. As a result service was a bit slow. We ordered mixed starter to share. This was plenty for us. We then had a red prawn curry, green veg curry and egg fried rice. All arrived in bowls with heaters so the food was piping hot. Prices very reasonable for the food. Beers were nearly £5 a bottle so we only had one each. If you fancy thai when visiting Deal would highly recommend.

The food is incredible and the staff are wonderful, would highly recommend :)

Authentic tasty Thai food, would recommend.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere! House wines excellent and service impeccable. We have always had good food and this was no exception.

Everything we ordered was stellar. Service was impeccable.

Premetto che adoro la cucina asiatica e devo dire che in questo ristorante abbiamo mangiato davvero molto bene. Staff gentilissimo e super ospitale. Location tradizionale

Tasty food, not really clean, I'm doubtful if our bill was calculated as should be.

An absolutely fantastic meal, had the set menu and it was fast, well presented and delicious. Possibly one of the best Thai meals I have had outside of Thailand.

Early evening, so just started filling up, service was good staff very attentive and the food was very nice .

Been here countless times with family, friends and more, it has never failed to impress. The food is bursting with flavour, you have such a range of options also. The servive is wonderful, the atmosphere incredible and will continue to come here for years to come. Could not recommend more

We had a delicious meal at Bangkok pavilion!!! What a nice tent! Nicely decorated and friendly service! The food was excellent, especially the curry is highly recommended. We spent 75 pounds for 3 people for 3 main courses, 2x desserts and drinks. So great! Big tip!!

absolutely delicious food, service was lovely and made great conversation, welcomed by staff when entering and thanked when leaving, all very friendly. food came reasonably fast and was elegantly presented

It was so lovely, speedy service, incredible food and we had such a lovely man serving us, always bringing us more water and updating us on the euros! Such a lovely man and the food was incredible. Very tasty, good atmosphere and lovely presentation of the food. Large selection of drinks , starters, mains and deserts and everything was so lovely. 10/10 honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been too!! And they offer take away service for leftovers! Really enjoyed it!! Also for what it’s worth we went as a group of 4 teens and they wern’t judging us or watching our every move as a lot of restaurant do. Best food in deal!!

THE best restaurant in Deal! The food is so fresh and incredible, the staff are lovely and the atmosphere and decor are amazing. And the prices are so reasonable. Compared to some of the other restaurants in Deal which are way overpriced! If you are in Deal, you must visit!

First time visiting this restaurant and the staff were welcoming. We were able to order our drinks quickly and given plenty of time to look through the menu to choose our meals. Once the starters and meals were ordered, they all came out and fast with perfect timing. The starters and mains' flavors were incredible and generous with perfect in portions. However, I did feel like it was slightly on the expensive side for 3 three people. I would definitely visit again sometime in the future.

We had six different dishes and I tasted all of them each of them were tasteless , the experience I had I couldn't honestly recommend the food I'm sorry.

It was an amazing place they are all welcoming there they were nice to us and they took care of us. The decorations made it feel very warming, and the food there was amazing the taste was delicious

Atmosphere is lovely when you first walk in, the staff are so polite and welcoming, the food was amazing especially the Pandan cake for dessert, will definitely be returning

First time at the Bangkok Pavilion and we were all extremely impressed. The service was excellent - ladies were really friendly, the drinks came out quickly as did the food. Plenty of choice - set menus and single plates. All really tasty and good value. Will definitely be eating here again.

We went to Bangkok Pavillion while visiting Deal to catch up with friends. We had booked a table in advance as there were 9 of us. The service was excellent - very friendly and helpful in terms of how much rice to order etc. The food was plentiful and very tasty. The cost came to £220 and included some alcoholic drinks and starters so good value for money. We would happily return if we were in the area again.

Food délicieuc! Prices are ok!! Wine and beer ok! Greats service! Super food.

Last time I went they PMO with slow service 😡Took ages for meal to arrive, then another hour just to get the bill after finishing my meal. Food is really good, but service can be a hit or miss 👍 👎

We came to Bangkok pavillon with my partner last night after reading all these good reviews and it didn’t disappoint! The food & service were 10/10! ⭐️ if we didn’t live in London we would most definitely make this restaurant our go to place.

We dined in here and as always when we eat here, were welcomed with a smile. The food was excellent, the Thai wine was also fantastic. Reasonably priced, and a different offering to other restaurants in Deal.

Food was amazing, so tasty, great friendly service can't wait to come back

Great food and surprisingly good cocktails. Attentive staff. Happy to recommend

After some really disappointing Chinese food in other establishments in Deal (horrible reheated dry rice and bland food), it was so nice to finally get some Asian food done well. This place is fantastic. The food is full of flavour and the rice is fluffy and fresh. We ordered spicy pork, rice, aubergine, wonton soup and sweet & sour duck. At last! A restaurant that isn't afraid to add spice to their food! The pork made my tongue tingle with heat! It was delicious. All the food was perfect, and the staff were wonderfully friendly. We will certainly be coming back.

My favourite restaurant in Deal. The food is always amazing and tasty, the staff are like family, so friendly and always have a smile for you. Love it here and always come to Bangkok Pavillion for special meals and evenings. We had mains, desserts and drinks/shots each persons bill was roughly £40-50!

A fun evening and I would go back.

Great little restaurant with good service and tasty authentic food. Enjoyed mixed starter plate, probably agree with some others that the satay could be better but overall hot and good with dipping sauces. Massaman and Red curries both flavoursome served in heated pots and on hot plates. Staff young, friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced considering the area and we preferred our meal here to the one we had in a more expensive bistro in Deal. Just one thing on a cold night add a layer as not too warm early evening although we did move tables and had a little mobile radiator which was kind.

If you are in Deal, you must visit Bangkok Pavilion. If not for the amazing food, then to meet the restaurant owner. A family owned business full of atmospheric delightful authentic decorative feel. The Thai owner was our host, and i found him warm welcoming and funny character. This establishment is His passion, and it shows with his engagement with his customers. I ordered the prawns and broccoli with coconut rice and a Bingha beer. The aroma as the food was served made me want to get stuck in. But i had to take a few photos first. A really nice restaurant, a friendly atmosphere, well worth a visit. Highly recommended !! BOOK IN ADVANCE to secure a table, especially over the weekend.

Wonderful food supported by great waiting staff and chefs. Been many times and shall continue to do so. Thank you all

SOOOOOO GOOD ! The food is super tasty and the decoration is amazing ! Super place to have dinner !

Recommended. Very attentive and friendly staff. Good food

My friends and I travelled to Deal for a nice birthday day-trip away from London, and it was honestly ruined by this restaurant. One of the waiters, an older man, made violent racist remarks towards my Lebanese friend, telling her she’s “lucky to be in the UK because her country Israel is being BOOM BOOM BOOM BOMBED”, laughing and making “gun-like” hand gestures! I mean I can’t even believe that happened. Completely inappropriate and insensitive! He was also really grumpy about taking orders. Food was ok, but still should NOT have payed, and will never go back again. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Nice food, great restaurant service was to rushed.

Everything is so good❣️❣️❣️ Everyone should come here

The most beautiful staff running a beautiful business, I highly recommend this Thai restaurant for the lovely atmosphere and fabulous food, the staff however are the crowning jewel.

Excellent service from everyone as always . Thanks again

Service very poor. Made to wait around for our table. Think they were overwhelmed by the number of people to serve. Food pretty average

We went on a Friday evening. Service was great and the restaurant was very busy. Food came quickly. I was disappointed with chicken satay starter as I suspect the chicken was bought in frozen from bookers, not fresh chicken made in house. I didn't like the dumplings as the meat centre seemed processed, not very nice. Main course was better. Beef curry was amazing as was the chicken dish. So overall I think the food quality could be improved.

Amazing restaurant, good service, and delicious food.

Lovely staff and atmosphere. Food could be a bit tastier.

Superb food as my taste loved spicy. Staff were fantastic and great! 100% be back asap!! <3

Absolutely satisfied with all of cuisines here. From the front house till staff services, they made my feel home. 10/10

Thank you so much for an amazing service! We went without a booking and informed the staff that we had to catch a train soon. The food arrived super quickly and was delicious. After the amazing dinner, I accidentally left my backpack at the table and left. The server went running after us to give the backpack back. Thank you for going out of your way like this!!

Was ok but small portions food was nicely cooked

Not my first time visiting and won’t be my last! Great service, food and atmosphere and the owner is a great character that adds the experience.

Excellent diner in this family restaurant. Great service too!

Lovely setting , and fantastic food.

Good food, friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Good food, great location and friendly service. I have eaten Thai in many locations and this isn't as good. However, it was busy and clearly a popular restaurant.

Absolutely wonderful. Food quality and staff exceptional. Such a pleasure.

Delicious fresh Thai food set amongst interesting decor. Staff were friendly and accommodating, our personal favourite was the tom ghai khar soup. All the food was wonderfully flavoured, the prawn toast and dumplings from the starters were very nice. I had the duck with garlic and chilli, served in a duck shaped dish, beautiful. It made for a lovely evening out for my birthday, we will certainly visit again when in the area.

Fantastic food & lovely elderly gentleman serving 😁

Food was excellent and served quickly by attentive staff. Decor was brilliant with the food well presented, just over £40 for a starter and main with drinks for two was great value.

Good food and good service. Reasonably priced.

Fantastic decor. Genuine family run business. Reasonably priced. Enjoyed it!

Abserloutley lovely food 12th birthday party, the best staff ever, could not recommend anymore thank you From Alfie

We come over from Dover as often as we can. It's our favourite place to eat in the whole world. The seafood soup is absolutely of this world to the point the 2 of us have a serving for 4 everytime we come. Very well worth the money. Lovely people, welcoming & "Dad" is just wonderful. He makes our day every time we come over, so funny & friendly.

Visited again tonight. First class food and service as always.

We came to Bangkok Pavillion with children, one being a baby, and we were treated with the most warm and caring service! Food was fantastic as always and the whole evening was wonderful. Thank you!

Well cooked food and friendly staff.

Delicious food, fantastic service. One of our favourite restaurants in deal. My 11 year old son absolutely loves it.

A lovely meal and atmosphere. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. A memorable meal during our visit to Deal. When we visit again, we will return to Bangkok Pavillion!

Food was so nice. Staff were lovely can't wait to go again.

Amazing food and fabulous staff.

Great food lovely staff extensive menu.

Really lovely meal and atmosphere. Tasty dishes, friendly staff and good price.

Wonderful night here with friends..the food was amazing, lovely friendly staff would highly recommend and will be back soon...thank you

What an excellent restaurant. Its really a hidden gem. Lovely and polite staff, varied and very tasty menu. We'll priced. At the North end of the High Street, almost hidden away.

Lovely food as usual and the staff were very efficient as usual. It was our first visit since the pandemic. Me and my husband are so pleased that the food/atmosphere was still top notch xxx Thanks again to all involved.

Pleasant and vibrant. Decent Thai food at affordable prices. A favourite of ours

We had a great visit here! The food was delicious (I had the mixed starter and the scallop curry) and the staff very welcoming and attentive. There is a great choice of options on the menu and a nice atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

Awesome, Thai food! Hidden gem in Deal, Kent. Staff is wonderful, food is amazing and décor is splendid. Highly recommended for anyone in the neighborhood.

Great service, great authentic food, great location..

Came here on the 25th March for a friend's retirement meal and the food was Delicious , I loved it staff were great and drinks were reasonable. I will definitely be visiting here again.

Great service and food, reasonable prices, pleasant decor

Gorgeous food, great service, really lovely evening. Tom Yum Goong was particularly good.

We’ve been a few times with friends. The food is very authentic and tastes delicious. The hostess is so funny, it’s worth just going in to see her! Great food and service, what more can you ask for?

If going order the fish. Some dishes not as spicy as expected by 3* rating.

Too many Thai restos have gone trendy these days which leave you thinking you could have eaten anywhere as there’s no atmosphere. This place is very much how Thai restaurants used to be. It has character, staff in National dress, some solid menu offerings and all at a decent price. Very pleased and will deffo return.

Absolutely delicious! We went to this restaurant last night as part of our visit to Deal and were really pleased with our choice. The place is very uniquely designed and made us feel like stepping into a whole new world; staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was super - we had the Bangkok delight platter for starters then some sweet & sour chicken and chicken with cashew plus coconut jasmine rice. Everything tasted fresh and had this homemade authentic feel to it. We also ended up getting some coconut roll and pandan cake for takeaway and had it as a delicious breakfast the following morning. Would recommend!!! Wish we had found it earlier so we could have gone every day of our trip 😁

Had a lovely meal here and can not fault the food or the service. Very friendly staff & the food was extremely tasty & very reasonably priced. As a local resident I really think this place is underrated

I booked for a family meal for Boxing day. My father drove over 100 miles and it was my brothers birthday, who also travelled for another county. I made the booking online over a month before. I called up a week before and checked the booking was OK and they were definitely open for boxing day. They read out my details to me over the phone and said yes. I said are you sure, definitely open boxing day. And it was yes all the way. Turned up to them closed. We knocked and called and eventually a woman opened up. I explained all of the above and she said said sorry with everything I said and said yeah yeah yeah and not a lot else. I'm absolutely disgusted that I've been lied to. They clearly had all my details and couldn't be bothered to call me and say they weren't open. I am livid. My poor Dad and brother were so disappointed. We looked like absolute idiots walking round trying to find somewhere else to eat. The women didn't offer anything. She didn't really seem bothered either. Myself and family have been going to this restaurant over the years and we definitely won't be going back. No loyalty and clearly have no idea what they're doing and they frankly don't give a toss.

Had a veggie meal for tea. Was one of the best Thai meals I've ever had. Really great, would def recommend.

Dinner for four, lovely staff, vibrant and welcoming. Good delicious food, service attentive without being overbearing. £120 for four with drinks, stuffed when we came out and loved it

Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, I didn’t know what to expect but it was very good. Friendly service, traditional deco and reasonable prices. Thai wine was also quite decent.

Absolutely lovely, love the decor inside, staff are friendly and inviting and food is divine👍🏻👍🏻 double thumbs up.

Watch out for the card trick when paying. We were overcharged £10 on the machine vs the printed bill. We spotted this outside so went back. They didn’t seem surprised and quickly promised to refund but we’re still fighting to get the £10 back. In the end we had to report the transaction as fraud so make a point of checking the machine amount and don’t assume, as we did, that it matches the bill. It was a disappointing end to a disappointing meal, which started with us being told we weren’t allowed to share the mixed starter so we had to order a starter each. This was followed by a really bland meal. The green curry had hardly any taste to it. Deal is a long way from Bangkok. The rice is outrageously expensive but in the positive the house wine is actually very nice.

Family meal , excellent food , service was ok , it was really funny trying to order coffee at the end of the evening , but I will definitely visit again

Friendly service, great atmosphere and superb food. To be recommended.

Excellent flavours and perfectly spicy, warm and friendly service

Best Thai restaurant in the country, my go to dish is the Tom Yum Goong soup. Service and food is the best anywhere.

Very quiet night in the restaurant as was everywhere in Deal. Despite that excellent ambience and cheerful service. Food brilliant , would definitely recommend.

Extremely dissapointed having heard so many good things about this restaurant pre covid. Had been really looking forward to dining there but the food quality was poor and a let down. Beef extremely dry and bland sauces. I'd not return.
