Flavours Of Asia in Poole

Family run business serving delicious food. Will definitely be returning.

Always the best food at Flavours of Asia, never disappointed 😞

A warm welcome on arrival this weekend, as always, for a much looked forward to evening enjoying the lovely Thai food on offer. We were soon seated with drinks ordered which arrived soon after along with complimentary crackers and a jug of iced water. The friendly staff helped us adjust several menu choices to suit our tastes it being no problem for the chef to accommodate resulting in an a truely enjoyable Thai meal experience. The roasted duck slices in tamarind sauce in particular was so good as indeed were all the dishes. A big thank you to all at Flavours of Asia for our lovely weekend treat we can highly recommend it to all.

A wonderful meal such a good selection for all every visit is enjoyable great friendly service from Ming and Chloe, very good fresh quality ingredients in such tasty dishes. Would highly recommend this restaurant 💯

Did not book. Not particularly busy, but a cold welcome. The manager made us feel we were intruding. Very limited vegetarian options. Had a drink - Half pint and tonic water. We soon decided to cancel our food order due to the treatment we received and lack of options. I paid £7.00 for the drink and left without eating. Manager refused my direct offer to explain our reasons.

Thank you for our lovely dinner at your welcoming restaurant in Poole. The ribs were delicious and plenty of food.

Chose this restaurant as in a quieter part just off the quay. Welcome was warm. The decor is lovely and the service friendly. The food was amazing. Flavoursome ribs which fell off the bone. Massaman Beef curry also gorgeous and nicely spiced. Vegetable Pad Thai best I have ever tasted. What a lovely meal!

Relaxed atmosphere. A while to wait for food but it tasted so incredible we didn’t mind. Friendly service. Seems to be family run.

Had a very enjoyable dinner here after a trip to Brownsea Island. Food was great, reasonably priced and the service very friendly indeed.

We regularly go to this restaurant over the many years we have lived here and love the food and chatting regularly with the manager and staff

It is a long time since we have been served by such a miserable gentleman.He hardly spoke except to take our order. The food itself was very nice and priced around what we anticipated. No many customers no atmosphere

We were not given a warm welcome and th3 gentleman who served us did not smile and hardly spoke. The food itself was excellent good portions and fairly priced.no atmosphere but the staff attitude did not help this

Went here with a group of friends after RNLI training. Lacked a little atmosphere as we were the only ones there but food was very tasty and the service very good. Would definitely go back again. Bathroom falconers updating.

Not often I bother to review somewhere, but the quality of food and service we received tonight at this restaurant was awesome. Really tasty food, with quick and polite service, I had to take the effort to let people know and thank all the staff. We went for the Set Meal B, it was late and we wanted to eat soon, and I added the Tom Yum soup with mushrooms and chicken. Soup was delicious, you have to try this, and the starters and mains were all good. Spring rolls were packed with meat and flavour, I'd have been happy with just a plate of those and some dipping sauce, they were that good. Very reasonable prices and we were certainly full at the end of the meal. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Poole. Thank you Flavour of Asia.

Excellent fresh, tasty food and wine. Service is friendly and efficient. A must visit if you haven't been before. A family run business at it's best.

I was visiting Poole from London. I stopped by this amazing place for a Pad Thai and Prawn toast. Food was great and service was great. I really liked the decor of the restaurant, was really authentic.

We visited for the weekend from Bristol. The food was amazing and full of flavour. My wife cannot eat onion, so the restaurant cooked what she wanted without onion. Friendly People. The best Asian food we have ever had. Thank you. We will be back.

Absolutely delicious meal! We had the mixed combination starter for 3 and although at the time I thought 1 of each thing wasn't very generous, it turned out to be perfect as each thing was so tasty it was completely satisfying and having more would spoil the main course. Yum Nue- a beef salad-, honey roasted duck and the Pad Thai prawns with Jasmine rice were shared as our main meal and each was a treat. Perfectly balanced flavours and textures. We finished off with apple fritters with ice cream and Jasmine tea: a great meal out.

Well that was a great meal and service. Next time in Poole this will be a must again. Thanks

Fantastic food on our visit during the Easter 2024 holidays. Served with humility and the food was outstanding. Thanks for your hospitality. Loved it. Definitely great. Maybe consider here before going next doors just based on ratings.

Just had dinner here, and so very impressed that wanted to review as soon as we got back to our hotel. Lovely restaurant with great decor, the staff are so helpful and polite. We had the combined starter and have to say the curry puffs were simply devine! They should be sold in packs by themselves for packed lunches; we would definitely buy. For mains we had honey chicken with garlic fried rice and chicken massaman curry with egg fried rice. Yum! Simply gorgeous and the best Asian food we have had the pleasure to eat in years! We will definitely be back on our next regular visit to the area.

We ordered the set menu B but able to swap out one of the starters 😁 The food was delicious-highly recommend!

Stopped here for some food on a wet Friday night. The food was excellent very fresh and tasty. Great service and a very relaxing atmosphere.

Lovely and friendly, family run. Best Thai food we've had, fresh and not greasey. We'll worth the wait. Would highly recommend. Been back since and food still good but the man in charge there has put us of going back. He’s very negative, rude at times and would do better if he kept out the back away from people

A good mix of Chinese and Thai dishes with decent sized portions and authentic flavours. Ambient atmosphere and not too noisy. Seems like a family-run business. Prices are average for this kind of restaurant. Worth a try.

We had a takeaway and the food was delicious! Fresh and good quality. Even the garnishes and sauces were beautiful, despite being in takeaway boxes. Every single part was perfect! Will be back. Thank you x

Flavours of Asia is a hidden local gem, and where do I even begin? The food is absolutely delicious, offering an extensive selection of scrumptious Asian dishes. The service is exceptional, and it's easily one of the best Thai restaurants in the area. My family and I are regular visitors, often opting for takeout, and we're consistently impressed by the consistently superb food that's bursting with delightful flavors. If you're craving authentic Asian cuisine, this is an absolute must-visit. Looking forward to my upcoming takeout. 😋

We have just left this wonderful restaurant while visiting the area, and WOW! At first look on the menu, I wasn’t sure as, being vegan, there is very little but don’t let this out you off! Definitely a case of quality over quantity with number of options. Staff are knowledgeable and and know what is in everything and the pad Thai option is unforgettable, something that should definitely be tried. It says it all that my 3 year old wouldn’t put her fork down! My partner is also very fussy and thoroughly enjoyed his squid and remarked on how fresh everything was. Staff were also very patient as we had a very active 2 year old way past her bedtime! Would recommended this place to anyone and will be returning if we are ever in the area again. Thank you taste of Asia!

What a fantastic find! One of the very best Thai meals we have ever had. Fabulous flavours and excellent service.

We had an excellent meal tonight. Really attentive friendly staff. The food was gorgeous. The sweet and sour chicken was really fresh tasting and the coconut rice was delicious. Spotlessly clean restaurant!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening

Once again we were welcome and the food was excellent. The restaurant was sadly very quiet customer wise. A benefit for us. Ming and the family were very hospitable. Can't but recommend highly this family run restaurant.

The food was amazing! I don’t usually like trying new things but we got the 5 different starters to share for 2 people and I loved trying everything! I would recommend going here. We thought the food was a good price and the service was great. The staff were also super friendly. Will come back next time we are in poole.

The food was AMAZING!! Coconut Rice was beautiful. Will definitely be going back and recommend. 🌹🌹🌹

Visited Flavours of Asia restaurant tonight and was sorely disappointed. The portions were small for the price, hardly enough to satisfy most people’s appetite. Moreover, the prices were high, making me question the value of dining here. But what truly ruined our experience was the front of house male waiter. Not only did he clear our plates while some of us were still eating, but he also showed no courtesy, failing to utter a single word or offer even a fleeting smile, ruining a family meal. The most shocking incident was when he carelessly tossed two pieces of cutlery into a bowl of noodles one of us was eating from without as much as an apology. Completely unacceptable behaviour for a restaurant charging those prices. However, the food was of a good standard and the female waitress was exceptional. Clearly used to apologising for her colleagues impoliteness. Would not recommend.

Great Thai and Chinese restaurant on the High Street. The staff are very friendly and the food delicious. Really can’t fault our visit there and so much choice on the menu made it difficult to choose. The crispy duck was my highlight but as a party of four we all enjoyed our meals. Will definitely return when back in Poole

The best Thai I’ve had in probably ten years - excellent food, clean and fresh, authentic Very impressed. Good service too.

Delicious, very generous portion sizes and great value for money! Will definitely be ordering from you more! Thank you

We don’t frequent this establishment as much as we used to since moving 200 miles north but when we do return it is always the first meal on our list!! It is always a treat to come back to this traditional family run restaurant. Everything is as a good restaurant should be, with the food being the star. Mixed Thai and Asian menu so something for everyone. We shall return as soon as we can! Well worth a visit - you won’t be disappointed!

We booked this restaurant for our first night in Poole. When we arrived it was very quiet and we wondered if we had made a mistake. However, the food, service and drink were all excellent and we would definitely recommend.

Food was excellent. Service was excellent despite it being very busy. Would highly recommend.

We went on a very quiet evening so wasn't much atmosphere but the place is lovely and it meant we were served extra fast. The staff are great and very welcoming and the food is absolutely outstanding. I'd I lived close by I would definitely make sure I ate there regularly.

A late review but visited Poole at the end of last year and found this fab restaurant! Food is delicious and service friendly and welcoming. Cant recommended enough!

Have visited this restaurant twice recently and have really enjoyed the food on both occasions, tastes really fresh with perfectly cooked vegetables within each dish. Will definitely go again.

We had an amazing birthday meal for 11 people here on 27/04/23. The food was fabulous and service was superb. Ming and his staff put up banners and balloons without being asked which was a lovely surprise. This will be our go to Thai restaurant in Poole from now on. Thanks to Ming and all your excellent staff!!!!!

Excellent food and excellent service Really enjoyed the evening.

Turned up unannounced with 3 work colleagues, received a warm welcome and shown to our table quickly. Drinks orders takedn and delivered swiftly followed by the mixed starters. Intermediate of roast duck and then 4 main courses. All outstanding flavours, beautifully presented and the lady who served us was polite, informative and extremely helpful. Value for money in terms of portion size and taste, again, outstanding. Nothing to fault at all here, hope the business goes from strength to strength as it's so well deserved. Thanks for a great evening, very much appreciated by us all...

Amazing food, great value, friendly service, Thank you!

Worth travelling 60+ miles just for the menu. Great selection and great quality authentic dishes. Service impeccable. The recommend list doesn't cover half the menu but that it a Google limitation

Ate a set meal ( A) on a early April dull Friday night. Did not book, but there was no need! Food of good quality, service 👌 but restaurant lacks atmosphere due to limited patronage. It is a pity that the present uk financial situation has reduced eating out for the general public! There is not an easy answer for the public or restaurants. I hope local people and councils can help in any way or the heart of the town will be lost.

Have eaten here many times - amazing - the food is cooked to order and so fresh - can’t fault it - service and wine excellent too

Fantastic food and service. I would recommend this place. Top Chef 👍👍👍👍👍

This is run by lovely hardworking people. Could do with some Thai background music to give it a bit of atmosphere and choice of chopsticks . The food is full of flavour and good quality. Not fancy but taste and good. Possibly a bit more chilli but otherwise couldn't fault. The service is good just needs supporting by more Customers. No frills but good honest quality and flavours

The ambience and food was absolutely fantastic. The flavours were outrageous in taste to the point I could have eaten another helping. Well done guys .

First time in this restuarant. My friend and I are both vegetarian. Warmly welcomed and shown to a table, great service , ordered drinks came quickly. I had vegetable pad Thai, my friend had a vegetable green curry with . We both had tofu added on request. My Pad Thai was simply delicious, the vegetables were perfectly cooked, crisp and crunchy peppers and carrots, softer mushroom, perfect tofu. The whole dish had a complexity and depth of flavour that I had not had with "typical " Pad Thai. The plate was presented beautifully. The portion size was perfect. My friend really enjoyed her green curry too. By the time we left the restaurant was full. Not surprised as the food was so good. Will definitely be returning.

Friendly and very attentive staff. Drinks arrived straight away and complementary prawn crackers as well. Sharing starter for two - chefs delicious picks of 2 x 5 similar to tapas! Mains arrived after a few minutes after starter has been cleared. Food very good, nice and pleasant atmosphere, happy to return and recommend it! Thank you 😃

Very nice place with good service. Family run restaurant, we went to it first time and enjoyed it. Very recommend it in general and especially if you like Thai food. Definitely will visit again.

We like to visit here while in Poole, great food and friendly service. 😋

Top Thai/Chinese restaurant, great food, decent bottle of Chablis, all served by Natalies daughter Chloe, all together a marvellous experience, try the Massaman, amazing.

Another great evening at Mings. This occasion an Elvis tribute night with a special menu. We had a really great evening. The food was, as always, outstanding. Ming and his family are wonderful hosts and always make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.

This is the best and freshest Thai I’ve been to.. A very family friendly place and the owners and workers (husband wife and daughter) are very attentive. The place is immaculately clean. The food is incredibly fresh and flavoursome The beer is ice cold 😉 Excellent place - Highly recommended

Really friendly welcome, great service and fantastic food. The prawn starter was awesome!

Wow wot a quality family business. Wife the chef, daughter the waitress and husband the front of house. Atmosphere great, food magnificent would highly recommend for a top quality meal in Poole. Thank you.

Came here by chance at the end of our holiday in Poole. Fabulous service and advice. Great food. We chose the specials as we are not experts in Thai food. Good value. Very tasty. a really friendly reataurant which made us feel at home.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but food was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble and all staff extremely welcoming and friendly. A great find - very highly recommended!

Always beautiful restaurant, great service, delicious food. Can't wait to go back again.

My partner and I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and couldn't be happier to have found a real gem! The service was very friendly and welcoming. They were quick and attentive. The food was delicious. Full of flavour. We will definitely be returning customers.

Lovely food, great atmosphere, fantastic themed evenings.

Possibly the best Thai food I’ve eaten in the UK. Just excellent.

The food is predominantly Chinise. Very tasty and well served at reasonable price, not budget though made at higher level than just quick take away. Very recomendable.

An excellent place for Thai and Asien food. I tried nearly all of the menue and I never was disappointed. My favourites are all the starters and as main the massaman curry and nue yang 😋everything is absolute fresh and well spiced The service is perfect and very friendly. The atmosphäre in the restaurant brings you close to Asia 💕

Came here for an anniversary meal with the wife, food was amazing, food was amazing and ming treated us like a member of his family. Would highly recommend this place

Me and my partner have been eating here the past 2 and a bit years. So our review has been well overdue. We absolutely love this restaurant and have eaten at lots of Thai restaurants, but Flavours of Asia is our favourite and is family run. We live in Weymouth and are happy to make the drive just to eat here as it’s really worth it. The staff are always friendly and the owner Ming is always very happy to see us and makes us feel very welcomed 😊 The restaurant is always super clean and during the craziness of covid, their restaurant was the best for following the guidelines and going above and beyond to make sure everything was done in a safe manner which made you feel relaxed to be out dining. The food is very authentic and the flavours each dish has are amazing. My partner loves the satay chicken and can’t find anywhere else that does as tasty a satay chicken as they do. Everything we have tried is always very good, the portions are a great size too we always have enough for leftovers for the next day. If you like Thai food or Asian food in general this restaurant is the place to come to! They have plenty to choose from and very good vegetarians options too! Would highly recommend! for us it’s 10/10 and is one of our favourite places 😊🍽

Fabulous meal, very welcoming, quick, efficient and full of flavour. Definitely recommend

Another lovely evening with friends at Flavours of Asia in Poole last night. It is our favourite Thai restaurant. The food is amazing and we are always made so very welcome. We always go for a Thai green curry, and often the sea bass but...

Came in start of June for the set meal they stated on the menu. Even thought they didn’t state the price was per person. Friendly host and beautiful garden and resturant. However the service and food were very much poor The gent serving us didn’t...

we made a Monday night visit on a recent holiday, really good friendly service, great crispy duck starters and stir fry mains, we were first in but is filled quite quickly even on a Monday

Hidden gem of Poole, one of the best Thai restaurants I've eaten in and great hospitality from the owner! Highly recommend.

Delicious food and very gently and Nice service and persons.

Very rude waiter made one of our group so uncomfortable with his comments to them. Did not stay for the meal would not recommend this restaurant based on his attitude.

A really nice restaurant with authentic Thai food. Beautiful atmosphere and a unique experience. The table service is also excellent. Food carried complex flavours, at a quality rarely found in the UK—in our experience. Our table agreed that they felt that the chefs had carefully chosen fresh and good ingredients. However, I felt that the menu could be a lot clearer and straightforward, specifically the set menu options. Set menus were presented as £23 and they say "minimum 2 people", so we thought this meant a set item is for two people, at £23. But when the bill came, we were charged £46. I think they should have said a set menu for 2 people is £46, and left it there, as that is a lot more clear cut. I imagine this might catch a lot of people out if they interpreted similarly to us. Nevertheless, would recommend.

Very rude waiter - judged by him the whole time. Flies on the food and nobody else in the restaurant the whole 2 hours. Should be renamed to 'Flavours of the bin' Edit(reply) : My friend was talking so eating slowly and you said "do you want me to mash up your food for you like your parents do" - clearly rude

Terrible experience with a really rude waiter.. Had the audacity to comment we were dawdling over the food and accusing my son of not finishing his food on time... Considering we were the only customers there..and stopped just short of throwing us out physically...

Great food , service friendly. The soft crab and duck we had was yummy , washed down with a cold tiger beer

We had a takeaway tonight and the food was excellent however we were overcharged by about £10 I asked for a receipt and was just given a credit card copy not itemised ( now I know why) I will say that we were given 2...

Lovely Restaurant. Best food I have had for a long time.

Sailed into Poole Quay Boathaven Marina this evening and ordered a takeaway from Flavours of Asia. It was the best Thai meal we've ever had. Anywhere. Absolutely top notch Thai cuisine, thoroughly recommended.

Super food and the staff are great. I wish I lived in Poole because I would go at least once a week .

We visited this restaurant on Sunday evening, we had a superb meal and the staff were very attentive, friendly and courteous. We would highly recommend to other travellers, the flavours were exquisite.

Fabulous meal and very good service!

Had a meal here whilst having a weekend away in Poole with friends. Service was very good and the food was lovely. Would definately recommend.

We visited for a birthday meal and found a warm welcome and polite staff. The food was delicious and we'll presented. Soft shell crab, salt and pepper squid, dumplings, Choo chee curry, and pad thai were all fantastic. I would highly recommend.

We ate here last Monday evening. The aromas as you enter the restaurant set the scene. We had Pad Thai and a selection of Asian bits as a side including incredible ribs. Great portion sizes, fresh ingredients, fantastic service. Would highly recommend.

Ordered green and red curries which were fine. Ordered 2 Pad Thai noodles for the kids. Noodles were awful, kids did not eat them so offered to pay for one noodles instead of a refund. Owner refused, hence the 2 stars. Not visiting again anytime soon

Well cooked Thai/Asian food with nice quality pieces of meat/fish and generous portions. Worth a visit.

Amazing Thai food and brilliant service. And lovely people.

Eaten here this evening. Every dish was delicious. The honey duck was incredible. High quality fresh ingredients. We all (2 adults 2 children) throughly enjoyed each dish. Extremely polite and friendly staff. Highly recommend and would like to visit again next time we are in...

Where else would I spend my birthday but at my favourite Poole restaurant!! The food is always excellent and the service great!! Don’t take my word for it - try it for yourself!!

Great food with big portions. Would definitely come back here if I'm craving Asian food in Poole

I would rate the food here at about the same level as the Thai restaurant next door which is highly regarded. The food is pretty similar, anglicised but of a high standard and very enjoyable. The restaurant is larger and more spacious than next door....
