What a beautiful evening we spent celebrating my granddaughter's birthday. Food was fabulous on taste and presentation, great selection on menu. The most lovely friendly team who genuinely took time out to ensure everyone felt welcome and enjoyed the experience of the restaurant. Fully recommended pop in if in Henley great team.

Absolutely incredible food and experience! Best vegan Thai we've had. Molika is incredible and gave us amazing service. Will definitely be back.

Always a good meal here and appreciate the good service.

Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Alan was very friendly and the food was amazing !

Enjoyed the food and great service by Molika, that was very kind!

From the moment we walked in , the warm welcome from Clayton ( manager ) and Molika was exceptional . They couldn’t do enough throughout the whole time we were in the restaurant. Food was exceptional, presentation was outstanding. The restaurant is a credit to Henley.

Had a great server called Jon, very responsive and great energy, food was incredible!

Quick service from Alan, great food! Had such a lovely evening.

Excellent food. Excellent service!

Great staff and Jon was brilliant

I was served by Alan who is very polite and attentive! Wonderful service! Overall the dining experience has been great!

Lovely lunch, the tapas set is a great idea and perfect for lunch but we had some extra salt and pepper squid too.

Another lovely meal! Alan was great and made us feel very welcome 😊 thank you!

Delicious meal! Very fresh and large portions. Alan, our server, was very kind, attentive and helpful

Lovely food and great service from Alan!

The food and atmosphere was really good. Service from Alan was top notch, thanks for making our lunch so memorable :)

We were served by the amazing Jon. Service was perfect as was the food.

alan was our waiter and he was great, super lovely and friendly!!

We were served by Alan and he was very helpful and welcoming. Food is always great at giggling squid, highly recommend the bangkok bites starter to share and slow-cooked beef masaman curry!

Food is always amazing here! Very welcoming and relaxed environment. Alan was a brilliant server!

Jon was great, remembered all our names and provided great service. Food was delicious, highly recommended!!

Went for a lovely dinner in Henley. Alan the waiter was very attentive. Great food and service.

I was there on Valentine’s Day, and the waiting time for the food was about an hour, but I still rated 4 stars as Alan was the one who served our table and he sincerely apologise and followed closely with the food order for us, definitely will revisit another time

What can I say. Jon really looked after us . Food was delicious. Service on point. Small delay in one dish but Jon had it sorted . Will be back

Jon was a superb server and very kind when I felt unwell during the meal. Food was slow because of a rush of deliveroo orders.

Top service and investing advice from Jon!

Jon was great, had good chat, created a good culture! Safe!

I love the Giggling Squid chain, but the quality can really vary. Unfortunately, the food at this location was quite average, and some dishes weren’t heated through properly. Of course, I’ve only been once, so it could have just been an off day!

Lovely service, Alan was always on it. They brought a cake out for a friends birthday and overall loved the experience

Alan was a wam, friendly and welcoming host...food was delicious!

We loved this place. The setting was lovely, such a good vibe! Staff were fab, and the service was spot on. Clayton looked after us and he was attentive but not OTT. But..., the food was incredible, such a good choice, and really authentic. A mix of tapas starters and I had the Royal fish combo, a Thai red curry with sticky rice, and it was to die for! We'll definetely return and highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a wonderful meal this evening, both of us have visited giggling squids all over the UK. And the staff at this one went above and beyond. Firstly, we were greeted by what seemed to be either the general manager or the shift runner, an older gentleman who was so extremely welcoming, a wonderful warm personality to have greet you upon entry. Coming from hospitality myself, I can massively appreciate when someone takes the time out of service to speak to customers and he did exactly that. Then we were served by a gentleman named Alan, he checked back throughout our meal… and made sure that we were satisfied throughout our food journey. So thank you very much for your impeccable service and good food as always, we will definitely be coming back.

Had a great lunch at the Giggling Squid in Henley today. The food was amazing, such great choices on the menu. The service was great, Clayton looked after us, the staff were nice, and the setting was lovely. It had such a good vibe. Highly recommend.

We popped in early Monday evening around 5.45 pm before going to the local cinema, and our food was excellent, as it has been on every other occasion we have been to the Henley on Thames restaurant. I had the spicy 'drunken noodles which I love.

Restaurant was busy with lots of satisfied customers. Food was great and plentiful. Took a little while to come, but nothing too bad. Our server, Alex, was very attentive.

Amazing experience at giggling squid Henley, the food was great and Jon was the best waiter! Will definitely be back soon!

Beautiful food. Would recommend the pork belly and satay to start and the massaman curry for a main dish. Lovely service, beautiful staff. Malika served us and she was wonderful.

Lovely food and amazing service - Molika was fabulous too! 100% recommend.

Moltka was fantastic, really lovely and friendly and the food and service was great!

Molika - fantastic wonderful server, made our night

+ Great food + Good service + Lovely and stylish place. + Although expensive, it's worth it.

Amazing authentic Thai food with great service from Molika.

A great evening to celebrate my wife’s birthday, made special with great tasting food & wonderful service, especially from Molika who was extremely welcoming & friendly.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and decent service. This is a 4 star for me as the food wasn’t as flavourful as I would expect Thai food to be. Decent portions though and a lot of protein!

Back again at the Giggling Squid. Lovely atmosphere, feels independent and thoughtful staff.

Molika was such a friendly waitress. Delicious food too!

All around a great meal with a fantastic atmosphere. Molika was our waitress and she was fantastic, attentive and kind!

Molika was wonderful. Thank you for being so great with our little one

Great food and atmosphere. Molika was very welcoming

My partner and I went here for last minute dinner plans. They managed to make space for us even though it said full online booking and was busy. Molika and Jon were so friendly, helpful and funny through the whole meal. Both my partner and I agreed it was the best meal and service we’ve had for a very long time. Will definitely be coming back again soon. Thank you!!

Very friendly and attentive waiter! (Alan)

Amazing service by Alan and food was delicious as always!

Each time we dined at the Giggling Squid in Henley Molika was great! She’s friendly, prompt, kind and served us delicious food. She’s also very happy to help those coming with young kids, making our visit very pleasant. Thanks, Molika!

Wonderful to have been served by Molika, amazing food as always!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Jon, our waiter. We regularly dine in not for the food but for the impeccable customer service from Jon and the team. Yum food. Fantastic customer service. Best place in Henley.

Alan was a very friendly welcoming and attentive waiter he made the experience 10/10

Alan was a very nice friendly host food was very good as well

I’ve had consistently unpleasant experiences at GS across three visits. First Visit: Ordered a dish, the server confirmed it, but I received the wrong food. They made no real effort to fix it, so I just ate it. But, this was forgivable as I felt the server made a genuine mistake and I didn’t want to make a fuss. Second Visit: Went with two friends and waited 40 minutes to even be acknowledged after being seated, despite sitting in full view of staff right by the bar. After finally getting drinks ordered, we were ignored for another hour. When I flagged a server to order food, we were told the kitchen was closing soon. Meanwhile, other tables were seated, served, and finished while we waited. The food, when it finally arrived, was underwhelming. Third Experience (Takeaway): Reluctantly gave GS another chance via Deliveroo as my friend wanted to order here. I noticed they inflate prices if you add on extras via the meal page (e.g. if you add the chicken stir fry main the “why not add” shows these higher prices for rice/starters etc) sticky rice went from £3.99 to £4.25, and salt and pepper squid from £8.80 to £9.40, likely hoping people won’t notice. If you add everything separately from the main menu you get the real prices. Once the food arrived it was awful: dry “sticky” chicken, overcooked sticky rice which was barely edible and cemented together, and a chicken basil stir-fry with barely any chicken or basil. Across three occasions, the service and food have been consistently poor. I regret giving this place multiple chances, really such a shame because Thai food is my favourite cuisine but every aspect is lacking unfortunately.

John and Alan were lovely, good food too!!!

Lovely experience at The Giggling Squid Henley! Served by Violet who was really kind, quick, and efficient- thank you!

Truly lovely food, so very tasty, all of it was great, definitely will be back again, great staff, atmosphere and above all food 😋😋😋

Amazing service and tasty food, Alan was very knowledgeable and gave some great recommendations. Highly recommended for birthdays and groups.

Alan was elite. Would recommend 10/10

We got pad kee mao chicken noodles which were delicious and perfectly spicy, along with the giggling pad thai with chicken and prawn which was amazing and the tofu addition in this meal was surprisingly tasty. We also got two lunch sets, the giggling set which was delicious and the feasting set which had great chicken skewers. We also got dessert of some ice creams and the chocolate melting heart which was all an amazing way to end the lunch. The atmosphere at the back of the restaurant was wonderful with flowers everywhere. The hosts were really attentive and made sure everything was okay regularly which was really nice of them. Only thing that I would say is that there are other thai places that are also good for cheaper, but perhaps these prices are normal in a place like Henley center?

Was amazing and top quality food - Jon was great and fabulous waiter!

Such a lovely spot in Henley. The food was delicious, the service was great and I very much recommend going there!

Molika was very friendly and attentive. I had Sticky chicken and coconut rice, it was utterly scrumptious. Shall be back soon.

Great way to celebrate with my work mates, had a great time and the staff was lovely. Food with first class quality too!!

Such a lovely restaurant and amazing food. Molika who works there is the best! So kind and caring around allergies.

The food was amazing as it usually is at Giggling Squid restaurants, but the service was odd. It seemed all good until we finished our mains and then suddenly we felt like we had disappeared as our empty plates and drinks were ignored. We were sat right near the front of house area so waiters were constantly passing us serving other tables. We did plan to have dessert but we just decided to ask for the bill instead after being left waiting for almost half an hour just for our empty plates to be cleared.

Food was lovely, Alan served us this evening and he was brilliant. Fantastic service from the team

Really warm welcome, great service and really delicious food - big thanks to Molika for looking after us so well ❤️

Had a delicious meal, Molika (our waitress) was lovely. The salt and pepper squid and the pork roti were both winners!

We had a lovely meal at Giggling squid, the service was quick and our waiter Molika was so friendly and chatted with us. The food was absolutely delicious and the menu has so many options to choose from! Would happily come back here and recommend anyone to come 😊

Wonderful food and service. Alan helped us navigate the menu to find a choice of tasty vegan dishes. Attentive staff, polite and organized. Would highly recommend - particularly if you are looking for bean food in Henley!

Alan looked after us beautifully ! Thank you

I ordered prawn pad Thai for my dinner. Very delicious! The staffs are very welcoming and provided great service. Especially the waitress Molika is friendly and nice to chat with! I will visit there again!

We had an awesome take away from the Giggling Squid. Our apartment was around the corner and it was great to enjoy excellent food in our PJs! I’ll be ordering giggling squid again. The branded colourful take away packaging was super cute too. We ordered £28 pound each with of food which was a little too much, but wouldn’t want to have not ordered anything as it all tasted good!

Wonderful food and service from Molika

A lovely place with excellent food

Really good customer service by Alan. Explendid food and very friendly environment. Definitely will be coming back. Shout out to Alan, great guy.

Another fabulous experience with superb Thai food and amazingly warm and friendly service for our group from Molika and team. Nice vibes and ambience. Highly recommend.

A very wide menu and kid friendly place. The food was a bit average but the service was fantastic. Thank you Alan for welcoming our party of 9 2 weeks ago!

We arrived at the restaurant without a reservation, but straight away we were made to feel incredibly welcome by Molika Kave. The smells were gorgeous and we quickly ordered our food and got some delicious cocktails while we waited. Molika was very attentive and talked to us about the menu and the story behind the restaurants founder which was very interesting. We got a mixed starter first see the photo, it’s the sort of stuff you often get in a Thai restaurant, BUT this was way better than anything we’d ever had before. Every element was just delicious. And the lemongrass sausages were amazing. We then had a fish curry and sticky chicken, both of which were just as fantastic. We will definitely be looking out for more Giggling Squid restaurants in the future. We didn’t even realise it was a group restaurant at first. It had the feel of a family run business. Thank you to Molika and the team for making my husband’s birthday so lovely 🥰

Lovely food, many choices to choose from. Kind waiter/waitress (Molika)

Busy busy busy but still great service and food.

We had the new festive menu last night. Highly recommend. The butterflied prawns with the Som Tam, the duck roast with the chestnut rice and vege and the Baileys tiramisu cheesecake. Lovely atmosphere with lovely staff 🙏

Delicious food and wonderful friendly staff!

love Giggling Squid in Henley 🤩 good food, best service!! Monika Kave, is very friendly and the manager is very nice and polite. Highly recommend

Fantastic Service, big up my man Alan!!

The service was great and the food was delicious. We had a lovely waiter called Alan who was there whenever we needed and had a great sense of humour.
