Bo Tree Kitchen in Belfast

Quiet Uni town and best drive thru lunch in days ....

Very bad dining experience. Thai food was supposed to be spicy, and the waiter didn't ask me in advance if I needed to order the dish be spicy. Instead, you quibble about why you don't say it in advance if you want to eat spicy. They don't give me water to drink, but they have drinking water on others table. Because my face is not native. Racism! The rice is only as small as a coffee cup. The owner didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.if you don’t know how to cook Thai food, don’t open the restaurant!

Lovely atmosphere, the best Thai food in Belfast

Close to Queens University! Atmosphere is vibrant and lively. Always busy with students and University staff. Reservations recommended.

My partner and I had dinner here and it was great. There was plenty of seating, dining area was clean, and menu options were plentiful. The restaurant is Bring your own alcohol—they serve soft drinks and water. I had the green curry, it was velvety and lovely. My partner had the duck in tamarind sauce—juicy meat with sweet/savory sauce. I would eat here again!

Very tasty , lively, and bit noisy

As good as Thai food gets and they are smashing this out in Belfast. Prawn toast banging, Som Tam next level, Krua King the one. You won’t regret it, hits it every time. Sit on or takeaway. I’d drive 50 miles to get in on this.

Fantástica comida tailandesa, a un precio razonable con la gran ventaja de ser un byo. No te pierdas este lugar si estás en Belfast y trae un par de botellas.

After a 30 day trip in Ireland we were craving some Asian flavors. This fit the bill. Fresh. Tasty. FLAVORFUL and options for SPICE! Fed the need. Book in advance or go early to get a seat, it was packed on a Thursday at 6pm

Había reservado para una comida familiar y no decepcionó. Servicio excelente y la comida era absolutamente deliciosa - lo recomiendo encarecidamente. BYO y una gran variedad de opciones de menú. Una de las pocas experiencias tailandesas realmente genuinas en Belfast

Great and very authentic food, reminds me of Thailand

Amazing on all levels. Best curry in town. Quality kitchen and service!

Amazing and delicious food. Truly flavoursome- everytime. Hard to book a table but that’s only because they’re busy making delish food 🤤

Fairly decent Thai style food, gets an amazing turn. Probably as close to authentic Thai food as you will get in NI.

Visited last month whilst over from London. The young waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helpful to my partner who is coeliac. Food was delicious

Nice Place with good food, our waitress was great! Don't expect big portions though, they serve just the right amount. Booking a table in advance is recommended, as the restaurant is small. Also, the place is BYO, there is a store nearby.

Always tasty. Wished there was online booking, thank you!

Incredible food, some of the best in Belfast. But both times I’ve been here staff have been inattentive. The first time the dessert took so long that we left before it arrived. The second time we were given a dessert menu and then were asked to leave for the next table before we ordered, even though we had the menu for 30 mins. Definitely needs more order, maybe staff could man different sections.

delicious food!! :)) lovely servers

Brilliant and surprising Thai restaurant in Belfast near Queen's University. Very authentic Thai food.

Superb Thai food - the best I've had outside of Thailand! Obviously very popular so the service was a bit slow but very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

My hair was reem and so wos the food but now I'm so bloody full

Fabulous red thai chicken curry 🍛 😋 👌. I wish they didn't close at 2 and reopen at 5, they've enough business to stay open all day!

Friends who have been to Thailand said this is the best Thai restaurant outside of Thailand. The food was spectacular, The best Thai food I have had. It was packed and also BYOB. Thoroughly recommend.

Muy muy ocupado. No había reservado, pero nos apretaron. Servicio rápido. Fabulosa comida. La mejor comida tailandesa que he probado fuera de Tailandia. Gran valor. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y volveremos.

The food is really good! It’s difficult to get a table, but otherwise it’s fine.

Comida absolutamente increíble - tan fresca (por lo que algunos platos salieron antes que otros) pero tan sabrosa y agradable. Realmente delicioso.

First time trying authentic Thai and I will 100% be back! Everything was so fresh and so delicious.

Food amazing as usual! Unfortunately we seemed to be forgotten about as we were sitting up beside the window and had to keep calling for staff when needing cleared, getting dessert menu etc. After given a dessert menu we had to call the waiter over again who then told us the kitchen was closed and we couldn't order dessert. Some warnings for last food orders would be a good addition to the service. Apart from this everything was great and we enjoyed our meal.

Most authentic thai cuisine ive tried in Belfast so far! I love the pad thai and tom yum (not in the photo). The mango sticky rice is average (probably because the mango wasnt as naturally sweet as the ones in thai). Good price based on the serving size. Will definitely come back!!

It is one of the best restaurants in Belfast. The food is authentic and delicious. The entire menu is enticing and flavorful. The staff is helpful and always greet with a smile.

Incredibly tasty and very authentic

First experience at Bo Tree Kitchen, definitely won't be the last.

Called multiple times just before 20:00 and no answer. Opening time says till 21:00 and was verified by business 3 weeks ago

Nice food but very small portion sizes and price too high for what it is.

Love, love love this place, delicious!

Hands down the best Thai restaurant in Belfast. Go here every few weeks, never ever fails the food is top drawer

Picked up a collection. Was ignored by 4 people while my order sat in front of my face going cold. A woman said 2 secs and walked away and didn't come back. She went around asking other customers if they were ok or needed anything. Someone had to come out of the kitchen to serve me.

Very BAD experience in this restaurant. My group of eight peoples chose two quieter tables, but the waiter refused. We arranged to sit at a table with other customers on all sides. The portions of the food were small and tasted bad. They added a 10% tip when paying the bill without notifying us in advance. Because it was not listed on the menu, we refused to pay a tip. The waiter cursed us with foul language. I wonder if we are Asians. Or born like a fool. If you like eating rubbish, you might as well go there.

Panang curry is amazing but I wish it had veggies in it like the other curries.

Extremely small portion ….. 12ish pounds for a chicken dish plus 4 quids a bowl of white rice.

Phenomenal Thai food with fantastic service. Made our booking over the phone which took multiple attempts over a few days to get through & naturally we walked into a totally packed out restaurant for our booking and was promptly shown our table. Starters were served within 10 minutes of ordering and they were piping hot & freshly cooked. I was stunned by the flavours and even more so by the operation at play. Efficiently turning over tables and filling them again through the evening. BYOB also. Flavour like you’ve never had before at an affordable price. Will be back again. Would recommend they explore an online booking system to someone who can manage the phones as this place obviously lives well up to its reputation.

Amazing food ,but very disappointed that you only have an hour to really eat .maximum time is an hour and half for you table,we were 10 minutes late being sitted to start with.we had gorgeous food but when asked for desert we were told we only had 10minutes left at the table so had to leave table and finish our drink outside .They really would need to extend the table time to 2 hours like most other restaurants

Bo tree has veered towards China these days, we felt it has gone down hill from the last time we ate there. Thin dried out skewers to start at £6.35 & £7.25 each , tasteless and mediocre dips. A prawn curry was roughly spiced, Pork with ginger and mushrooms was really a boiled up tasteless mess. Crispy Tamarind (less) Duck was about the best dish even though the sauce was something a school kid could have stirred up. I know this sounds as if I’m cruel , but for a Thai there should be less of the Chineese influences and more aromatic / basils / items to entice . Thailand has wonderful foods and some rustic earthy elements , but alas here the sweet fix they are now offering seems to be putting bums on seats. Not for us if I wanted a Cantonese I would have went to one . Coconut Fried banana and the Mango/ Sticky rice £6.95 each … both need a lighter hand in the making .

Yummy food . Good price and selection

Amazing food, and great service.

The food is always delicious. Authentuc Thai street food at affordable prices. The service is great. It has a young, dynamic, and friendly vibe to the place. You need to book a few days in advance as it is very popular, and don't forget to bring your own drinks as they don't have a license.

Food just ok. More potato than chicken in my chicken curry. Didn't get correct order and had to take jasmine rice rather than boiled rice as it was what was plonked on the table with no effort made to bring correct dish. Poor service, servers seemed impatient and not fussed if they got orders wrong.

Amazing flavours that just burst and dance in your mouth.

This is the best food in Belfast.

Very tasty thai food, they recommend booking two weeks in advance since its so popular! We were very lucky we got a table during our visit to Belfast. We had pad gra pow (thai basil minced chicken), thai red curry and chicken satay, all were amazing. Its BYOB and the staff are lovely, there was a short wait for the bill but thats expected since its so busy!! Would visit again

Delicious food. But not the warmest restaurant I've ever sat in. Couldn't fault the service. Would I go back? Yes!

I would not recommend this restaurant and can’t believe some of the other reviews. The service was terrible, treated like we were unwelcome from arrival. They forgot my partners main all together and he had to wait extra 10 mins and no apology was given. I asked for the bill 3 times over the course of 35 mins and in the end got up and went to the counter to pay. Once again no apology for the wait. The food was fine, but the quality of the meat was very low, scrappy bits of chicken, not big chunks. The only good thing was the BYOB.

Food average, service below average. Turned away 5 mins before our booking because they weren't ready then 10 seconds later had the next bookings in to be seated before us. Forgot to make the sides and never put any chilli in my meal after I requested it extra hot. Doubt I will try again.

Food just ok not different from other Thai restaurants but really can’t compare proper Thai food in Thailand. Worse!!!! service ever in Belfast the one woman ( Asian ) has terrible face , bad service and bad attitude I would like to walk out from the 1st time once I saw that ugl* face. I don’t want to point this too much but it ruined my day really. I asked some of my friends and they talked the same way about that woman!!!! OMG!! What ever I will never ever go back to that place again.

Nothing special about the food at all, tried a variety of things. Very overpowering flavours and everything was quite spicy aswell. Have to pay for sides aswell, Curry doesn't come with rice etc etc. The owner lady that was there was kinda rude and didn't seem to care that you were looking for service, just left you standing there for a solid 5 mins when the restaurant wasn't even busy. Wouldn't recommend, or go back mainly because the food wasn't great. Had the green curry, a chicken dish and drunken noodles - really underwhelming all of it.

Excellent food served by friendly and efficient staff. I had the Massaman curry with chicken and plain steamed coconut rice and it was generous and delicious. My wife had Fillet of Basa and stir fried noodles and again, it was excellent. The place was packed and there was a really good atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the BYOB option. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Ah hear, arrived at 5:30pm to discover it was fully booked all evening but the waitress checked again & said we could have a table until 6:40 which was perfect! Had a main meal that was delectable with fresh, Thai ingredients & elegance! So reasonably priced to boot!

Disappointing takeaway. Whilst food is tasty, nothing like eating in their restaurant - which whilst it feels like one is sitting in a canteen has always been delicious. Takeaway felt poor value for money. Beef massaman had four pieces of tough beef. Drunken noodles tasty but claggy. Chicken panang similarly all sauce and very little meat. Pad thai 2 prawns and really not amazing. Overall for £45 (we didn’t order rice or any sides) this did not feel like a decent meal for four people. Would eat in the restaurant again but would not recommend takeaway.

Bo Tree was always my favourite back in the day so I was delighted to see it has reopened. The new spot isn't as grand but it still didn't disappoint. The food is incredible. So fresh and flavoursome. Lots of dishes to choose from. We were a party of 10 all with starters an mains, not one complaint between us. Service is quick. Added bonus of being byo. Can't wait till go again

Located in the university district of Belfast. Small family-owned restaurant offering authentic and fresh Thai food for a reasonable price. Parking can be sketchy, and no alcohol is served, but you are welcome to bring your own wine/beer, which almost everyone does. We were here in a Wednesday night and it was PACKED, so reservations are a MUST. If noisy and crowded outweigh the quality of the meal for you then this is not your place. But despite being both of the above, it is a great place to enjoy very good Thai food in Belfast.

Always the most gorgeous place for a special occasion dinner. Service, food & price is amazing.

Visited this place for an informal business lunch. Brilliant food, efficient service and down to earth setting.

Fabulous food, quick extremely delicious

Food was delicious but extremely overpriced for very small portions compared to other Thai options in town. Restaurant seating was very cramped and I would advise booking as even though it was early on a weeknight we were only given the table for an hour (17:30-18-30). Also remember it's BYOB.

Apart from the wonky table a thoroughly lovely meal, delicately spiced and leaving a hotish mouth afterwards. Tables are a bit close together for comfort in a very popular restaurant. Would recommend the pork curry , though the crunchy plate of vegetables were close.

Fabulous food in a friendly informal place. Great menu, beautifully presented delicious dishes and great portion sizes. Very much enjoyed this restaurant.

Food is really tasty, I ordered coconut rice and masaman curry and and Tom Yam Gai soup and it was lovely, the same as the dessert. I suggest to book in advance so you avoid to wait until a table is available. It's really good the fact that you can bring your own drinks.

Amazing veg options, loved the yellow curry

Went there with a big group so we ordered many dishes to try a bit of everything. The portion was small as Thai dishes are meant to be shared. My favourites are papaya salad, pork skewers, banana fritters and red/green curry. Foods were not as spicy as expected. The shop was quite busy so I didn't expect much from customer service but the staff were very helpful

We booked our table for 6pm and to be honest we felt rushed from the outset with multiple reminders about how much time we’d left and service that’s a little too quick. No one explained when we booked there was a time limit. So I won’t be rushing back! The food was ok. Some dishes nicer than others. Pad Thai is recommended! The tamarind duck was tough and chewy in places. Deep fried breaded prawns were excellent! Squid was rubbery and chewy with no dipping sauce which I found odd. It’s rough and ready but the atmosphere is good. I’d forgive the mixed food if we weren’t being ushered out so fast!

Ordered a fish dish (Plaa Lad Prik) and it was simply terrible. The dish had a meager piece of fish, and extra-generous amount of low quality sugar - imagine dipping a fish bait in coco cola. #WalkAway we are going home for some food

All the food from the menu is class! Top 10! Reasonable price. You can bring your own drink with you.

Fantastic food with a real buzz to the atmosphere. BYO as well.

Foods was over cooked. Calamari was like rubber noodles were like slime won't be back

Do not think about the size of the restaurant. The taste you get here is the best you would get anywhere in belfast🫡🥂 Bo Tree is my favourite place around Belfast for good tasty food. Book in advance or else you will have to wait. Place is always busy so plan your visit ahead of the time😀 But worth the wait if you have to wait 😜 They are the best with authenticate taste and texture of thai food. Its hot Super fresh Spicy mild depending on your taste But super amazing food which so satisfying ♥️

Great food. I mean, really delicious. Nice staff. Just very very busy at times. But if you want a quiet meal, lunch time is the best time to go.

It better be a takeaway than a restaurant. Good food and quick service. There is no doubt about that, but everything else is a disaster. Right from booking a table to paying your bill, it feels as if you are least welcome at the Joint. I try not to go there as much as possible.

Best Thai food I’ve had in the UK - delicious!

Great food but horrific customer service. After eating here weekly for many years we received our first bad meal & gave the feedback to the chef very politely wanted him to know the food wasn’t fresh so we weren’t able to eat it on this occasion and he suddenly started yelling at me to get out and I’m not welcome, after trying to pay for my drinks he continued to yell for me to leave and not come back, after many years supporting this small business I felt i was doing the right thing letting them know the food we received was OFF!, little did I know he would react this way. Very disappointing and I’m sure he is probably embarrassed by his reactive aggressive behaviour. Food is great but I wouldn’t recommend any longer due to the scene the head chef made over some feedback.

Massive difference from when this restaurant opened to now. Yes, the food is absolutely delicious but portion sizes have minimised drastically. Expensive for all you get. Service is OK. Staff aren't overly friendly. Slight feeling of unease as they be back to back with bookings so you feel under pressure to vacate the table ASAP.

Went on a Friday night, booked well in advance. Very busy but knew this had to be a good thing. We were a table of 4. Waited a couple of minutes for the table to be set and then we were seated. Food wise we shared 5 starters. We only ordered 4 main dishes. In hindsight when I go again I will make sure we order more. The food is incredible. Proper authentic Thai food. Would definitely recommend and also recommend booking in advance.

Absolute slop. Starters were bland at best. But the mains were a disgrace, insipid, watery sauces, bland and totaly lacking in any substance flavour or skill. Whoever had the misfortune of preparing these dishes should seriously consider a change of career. Service was OK, nothing to write home about but OK. Atmosphere OK as well, noisy .... some may say vibrant. But atmosphere alone does not do it. Give the place a miss and try Madame Pho instead

Such a gorgeous menu. Could eat here every night but beware it closes early.

Flavoursome, authentic and very affordable ! I've tried many places (worldwide) but keep coming back here as the food never fails to put a smile on my face. Best spot in Belfast hands down and the food is always consistent!!

Over priced,small portions.staff not interested. Shocking.avoid at all cost.

Absolutely wonderful food, from starters to desserts each dish we ordered was authentic and clearly made fresh. The prawn toast special, the massaman curry, special fried rice and the banana fritters were highlights. Very very busy restaurant though, despite having reservations had to wait for a table for about 20 minutes. But very kind hostess, reassured us a table would be arranged and came through.

Excellent food and friendly service

We order spring rolls, coco drinks and Thai iced tea, it was tasty, one of the best Asian resturant I ever tried, sure to come back again,highly recommended you guys try if you visit Belfast, I am sure that would add some enjoyment moment to your trip. We cant help but eating once more before leaving, its a must eat in Belfast

A hidden gem in plain view. It's a superb feed highly recommended. Just book a table ahead of time! Massaman curry is fantastic

Doesn’t serve alcohol, but charges nominal corkage fees for beer and wine. I guess they don’t need the extra profit from alcohol, since they charge £3 for a small serving of rice. Regular menu items £8 to £12 NOT including rice. Ice cream for dessert? That’ll be £5. Very loud. Service is good.

Great food, good price, want you out ASAP. It is street food after all.

Omg! The food was absolutely amazing. One word Yummy. And the staff was really friendly. It’s a bit crowded

Excellent excellent food! The vegan menu is very delicious and authentic!

Quaint little restaurant with no frills, with very reasonably priced authentic Thai cuisine. This was very much an impromptu date night - We had been craving Thai food for a while and the few we tried before had let us down, so when Bo Tree was brought to my attention I knew what I had to do. I called ahead and booked a table, which I never do, and it's lucky I did! We got there at 6pm, and already the place was buzzing, we were acknowledged and seated almost immediately with a great view of the open plan kitchen. I love when I can see what's going on behind the scenes, when you get that little flutter of excitement when a dish is being plated up, "Is this ours? I think this is ours!" The menu is fairly extensive whilst only being a one pager, with a variety of categories to choose from on the front and a full vegetarian menu on the back. We got the Pad Siew, Beef Massaman, Coconut Rice & Sticky Rice. They had a selection of drinks, but not much in the way of soft drinks, however, our server informed us of the 'corkage' fee on soft drinks and told us we could run to the shop across the road and get something more to our liking which was super handy! She did say she'd bring us some glasses with ice, but they never materialised. The dishes came out promptly and looked amazing, especially the steamed rice in its little woven bamboo case. My wife was VERY excited about this, as we hadn't had rice in such novel fashion since our time spent living in London. The Massaman was beautiful. After the first taste of the elegantly spiced sauce married with the sticky rice I knew we'd found something special. There were generous chunks of slow cooked beef and hearty potato nestled in the savoury peanut sauce, with a portion that could arguably have served 3 people. Hands down the best Massaman I've had. Ever. Next up was the Pad Siew, we opted for seafood as our choice of protein. Thick rice noodles stir fried with egg, vegetables and a pleasing variety of seafood - prawn, squid & mussels. The taste brought me right back to my time in Asia, there was something strikingly familiar about the authenticity of the flavours and the simplicity in which those flavours were delivered. I loved that there was a subtle smokiness of where the intense heat of the wok had caught the edges of the noodles, giving an extra dimension to what is essentially stir fried noodles - but calling it that does it a massive disservice. Over the last few months we've been disappointed with so many restaurants, and it was such a refreshing change to have found something REALLY GOOD, a place where we are genuinely excited for the next time we get to go back to try something else from the menu. By the time we'd finished every seat had been filled, and I can absolutely see why. We will definitely be back and hope this encourages more people to give it a try. C

After living in Scotland, UK for six months, I found the best Thai restaurant so far in Belfast. Thai Papaya salad (Somtum) made my southeast Asian food curving satisfied😋

A local Belfast buddy wanted me to taste and test how Thai this place is. Lone behold, it's more Thai than in the US and comparable to the local places in Thailand. Atmosphere: the place is very cozy, friendly, and always packed! Patience is key as the food is worth the wait. The kitchen is open to the dining area, you can see and smell it which is the true experience. Service: the staff is very helpful. Despite the place being very crowded and busy, they are rocking it. No alcohol sold here, so BYOB with corkage fee. Recommend keeping it simple for BYOB. Food: this is ultimately a surprise for a Thai-American from Los Angeles and Chiangmai. Ingredients are authentic, generous, and the cooking style is savory-rustic. The Thai auntie/uncle/cousin is cooking this with great flavors and techniques. Dishes tried: Satay skewers - 4/5 delicious, mild, reasonable but not ultra charred to maintain the juiciness of the meat. Peanut sauce is very good and savory with enough curry spices in them. One thing missing is cucumber sweet salad dipping, but not necessarily needed. White rice - 5/5 sounds crazy to review, but they serve legit Thai jasmine white rice, this is golden. In the US, some Thai places serve white long grain rice, to cut costs. This brings a quality aroma for your Thai rice experience. Egg Fried Rice - 5/5 great for flavor and a hearty side when eating spicy. Not too oily, just right. Pad Kee Mao (Spicy Basil Drunken Noodles - 5/5 amazing! Spices, ingredients, white rice noodles are charred and stir-fry to perfection. I cannot stress this, they know how to work the wok, the dish is not soggy and feels like bbq-esque noodles with spices. Stick to medium spicy is good. Pad Seew (aka Pad-See Ew) - 4/5 great! Similar to pad Kee mao style, but the ingredients are milder. I prefer more flavors and spices. This is a non-spicy savory dish. Roasted Duck in Tamarind sauce - 5/5 this is a must! Grilled roasted duck with crispy skin topped with sweet tangy tamarind sauce, over roasted cashews, green onion, and dried chili. Epic! Non-spicy dishes are good to have with other spicy dishes. Roasted Duck curry (Panang curry) - 5/5 very hearty, flavorful, medium spiced, super good on top of white jasmine rice! Salty, sweet, and the duck isn't overly done. Kua Kling (Southern Thai stir fried curry) - 5/5 very packed with spices and herbs, this is a pretty spicy minced pork dish. Very flavorful and hot, best with rice. Basil Spicy Seafood - 6/5! this is by far the most delicious dish out all we had. The seafood here in Belfast is very fresh (compared to the US), combined with fresh Thai herbs and spices, and the subtle technique where the flavors spicy, savory, slight sweet is just right! The sauce used is perfect to drench with you rice. So good! Som tum papaya salad Thai style - 5/5 ordered extra spicy was a bad idea, it's literally Thai level for medium so extra spicy was fiery full of red fresh chilis. My friend took it well while I waved my white flag as my lips burned and puffed. Regardless, the flavors are all balanced as it should: salty, sweet, spicy, and sour. Desserts: fried bananas, mango sticky rice, and

A nice restaurant for eating out and enjoying good food. Met with friends while visiting Belfast and the restaurant was easy to locate with enough free on street parking after 6pm. It is obviously a popular spot among locals as the restaurant got filled pretty quickly after 7pm. The seating was a bit close for comfort and is not conducive to conversation as we could hardly converse without raised voices. We had prawn toast and spring rolls for starters which were ok. Then stir fry chicken with garlic, pepper and coriander for main which was delicious although we could not really taste the different flavours. We then finished off with our delightful desserts - sticky coconut rice with mango, cake & vanilla ice-cream. If in the area, this is a restaurant you can visit.

One of my favourite restaurants in Belfast, spring rolls, Calamari, red Thai curry and noddles are my favourite. Bring ur own drink too which is great!
