Decided to have a quick lunch at The Giggling Squid. Served by Gem (and another gentleman) who was polite and courteous. Had the Salt and Pepper set and it was delicious! Well fried/cooked. Their coffee was nice and fragrant, smooth and strong..just how I like it. Would happily come again!

Service is beyond slow. Waitress charged me double my bill and didn’t change it until I pointed it out. Delivery is always complicated and they never come to the right address.

I have ordered several times from this place. It's never been great-just ok- food but I think it is hard to find good Thai food in UK. Today I had a chicken pad thai. The dish was awful. It was more like a sauce based stir fry. Not nice at all.

I took my daughter for Linner (late lunch/early dinner) today for her birthday. Service was attentive and fast and the food was sublime. I have lived in the Far East, and the satay was easily the best and most authentic I have had outside Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand. The portions are generous and value for money. We had to get a doggy-bag, which was in the form of a cute pink paper tub. My daughter can recommend the lychee cocktail! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! PS. I also love the decor!

We could smell the food from round the corner. Food is so well cooked and flavoured. Can't find a single fault with the food. Service was excellent. We were served by Edward, who made our cocktails and took or order. Such a gent. Gemma brought the food and she had the foresight to change our table before squeezing the food on a small table. Will definitely recommend this place.

“After a long hike we ended up at Squiggle Squid in Sevenoaks, prepare your taste buds for an extraordinary Thai culinary journey! This gem offers an array of authentic Thai dishes. The cozy ambiance is complemented by the warm and attentive staff. For anyone seeking exquisite Thai flavors and a charming atmosphere, Squiggle Squid is a great lunch time drop in destination. Oh and the prawn crackers were fantastic!

Popped in here for a quick lunch pre-Christmas in December 2023. The wife and I had two daughters in tow, one big & one small. The staff were friendly, helpful and made recommendations to us. They also picked up on the fact that we were hoping to be quick without us having to ask, which made a big difference. We ordered a few of the lunch tapas sets, which gave us a great variety of food and about the right amount. My favourite was the slow cooked beef green curry, but it was all very tasty - and quick! Will definitely try to come back here again

Been once before and was great but this time we was given the table next to ours food and wasn’t told before we’d eaten it all as I ordered pad Thai and was given a noodle dish and my boyfriend ordered sticky chicken and got a chicken dish so didn’t question it until our actual food came out and was served to the table next to us and they realised what had happened. The food I got was really spicy and I can’t handle spice so didn’t eat much of it luckily my boyfriend enjoyed whatever food the lady on the table next to us ordered. Then the manager asked us to just pay for the food we had! I said we didn’t order this and I haven’t eaten mine so wouldn’t be happy paying for it. She gave us our bill with the stuff we actually ordered on and I had to ask for a discount for the inconvenience. The bill was around £75 and she took off about £20. I feel like we should have got our meal completely free as it was their mess up and not ours.

I can't deny the food is excellent, tasty, filling and well presented. The only small gripe was that the shared starter was dripping through the bottom of the bamboo tray and thus through the gap between the tables making a sticky mess on the floor. Not really some that could be rectified at the time.

First time to giggling squid and it was a good experience! We walked in and they made space for us and a buggy and were very friendly! The food came out quickly and the portion sizes were good. I had the lamb shank which was very well spiced and morish! One thing that could have been better was the desert, we had the trio of them. Two of the trio of deserts just lacked some flavor and considering the price was a bit of a let down. But overall this was a good experience, good food and excellent service 👌

First visit to the Gigling Squid. Food was good although portion sizes are mediocre. Personally I think its overpriced. Starters ranged from ÂŁ6.99 - ÂŁ7.99. The large bottled beers were out of stock so had to settle on the small Chang 330ml @ ÂŁ4.50 a bottle. A large glass of Pino Grigio will set you back ÂŁ9.70! Service was good. We had a table for six which was very small and cramped. Not a comfortable experience. Would I go back? Probably not but that's just me.
