Terrible service! Staff inattentive. We had to wait for ages to get our food, and when it finally arrived, it was poorly cooked, small portions.

My partner and I visited Emma’s Thai due to the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor but sadly we didn’t enjoy the food as much as anticipated. We left feeling disappointed. We shared the tempura vegetables for a starter which were ok but I’ve had a lot better, the batter was a bit stodgy and not as light & airy as it should be and it was quite expensive at £7.50. I ordered the beef green curry for a main course, it was tasty but very thick & creamy and not authentic. My partner ordered the beef massaman curry which I tried, it was ok but a bit bland, it didn’t have much depth of flavour, it’s his favourite dish but he was disappointed. My partner said it needed more beef instead of the huge chunks of potato. Our main bone of contention was having to pay the eye watering amount of £5.95 for a portion of sticky rice for one. We only bought one portion on principle but this wasn’t enough. A bottle of wine was also eye watering. Sorry but it wasn’t good enough for the money spent.

This is my first time eating Thai food and it was some of the best food I’ve eaten if not the best, well presented place and has a very authentic Thai feeling. Me and the mrs loved it and will be back very soon. Also if you haven’t tried Thai before go for the banquet as everything is amazing and you get to try lots of different foods , well worth the money!

On entering again was nervous as entrance disjointed from rest of restaurant with office celing tiles. However the food was amazing and well worth the wait. Service maybe a little slow but would come back for sure. Turns out the reason for decor is that its cafe by day and asian by night. What a find !

I went to Emma’s Thai and asked about vegan options but the very nice gentleman who works there explained that many of their ingredients (pastes etc.) come with ingredients listed in another language. As a result, they do now know whether it is vegan or not. He was very honest about this and apologetic. Other people were in eating and the food smelt and looked lovely. So do check it out but not if you’re vegan!

We booked a table here after reading the reviews on trip advisor. We opted for the 5 course banquet and were told that we can always take away what’s left over if we can’t finish it, which I was happy with as I thought I might struggle. We polished off pretty much everything though. The mixed starter was a perfect size- not too big and a nice sample of food (mini fish cakes, tempura prawns, ribs, chicken satay, mini spring rolls and salad). Followed then by 4 mains with rice. My favourite was the beef (in oyster sauce). There was also pad Thai, chicken sweet and sour and chicken green curry. All the food was delicious and cooked to a very high standard. The rice was lovely. I am not usually a big fan of egg in rice, but it also had other diced veg in there which was delicious. For £19.50 each, I thought this was great value as we got to sample lots of different dishes and there was plenty of food for both of us. The service was great- very prompt and attentive, without being intrusive. We were really impressed with Emma’s Thai and will definitely go back when we are in the area again.

Very nice food, good service overall excellent value, we booked for eight and only six were able to make it so lost £10 of our deposit so be aware if you book make sure you turn up, all that said does not take anything away from the lovely relaxed ambience and quality food, very happy to recommend, hope you enjoy it

Our fourth visit and the food and service was as good as ever. We had the set meal which I think is good value, plentiful and delicious. Drinks are not overpriced either.

It may well be the best food in Ilkeston. If so, that's a damning indictment of ilkeston's food offering.

The Thai Kitchenlocation-icon7a Tamworth RoadThai

I found that little gem on Google maps by accident to be honest and noticed the 4.9 rating which made me very curious. As I love all Asian cuisine I didn't even hesitate to give it a try. When I called to ask many questions I spoke to a very nice lady who didn't rush me at all. She informed me (what is very important for newcomers to know) that they have slots for collection, my understanding was that they do not just take walk-ins (certainly not on busy nights like Friday and Saturday) so make sure you call beforehand and book the slot. I absolutely loved Pad Thai, I'm pretty sure it was the best I've eaten! Massaman curry was great too Unfortunately I wasn't that big on red curry in terms of flavour (don't mean the fact it was extremely spicy as I did request it willingly 😅). I'm gonna try green curry next time but I'm sure at least 1 Pad Thai will always be on my order. There's a good parking lot behind the building which is free if charge after 6pm (exactly the time when they open). We'll be coming back regularly as flavours are great, prices are very reasonable and on top of it customer service is brilliant 💪

Rosa's Thai Nottinghamlocation-icon17 King StreetThai

Friendly reception (had pre-booked) on arrival and shown straight to a table and issued menus and drinks cards. Wait staff all very friendly and efficient. It's the food that lets it down! Starters were brought quickly but the (overpriced) starter platter was mostly garnish; the 2 chicken satai and 2 pork skewers were interchangeable (but the sweet chilli dipping sauce was very good), the tiny portion of battered squid was well cooked. The Thai fish cakes were tasty but lacking in chilli and lemon grass. Mains were also overpriced and the small portion of beef massamann curry was lacking in flavour, had only 2 small cubes of beef in it and the sauce had an oily layer on top, as if the coconut milk had split. The pad Thai was average with two small pieces of chicken in it but lots of noodles. Sadly there was no omelette, flavour was again lacking and the whole thing was excessively sweet. Somewhere in the curries there was an underlying taste reminiscent of dried sage but there was a distinct lack of traditional Thai flavours like Holy basil, fish sauce, lemon grass and chillies! The red wine we chose was thin and acidic - certainly not worth the £25ish per bottle they charged. Did not have any dessert as nobody offered us anything after the main courses. Overall, ambience OK, service VERY GOOD and food VERY DISAPPOINTING.
