Giggling Squid Wokingham in Wokingham

Amazing atmosphere with incredible food. We were served by Sareeya who was lovely and very helpful

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, particularly for a chain restaurant and a varied menu to choose from. Everything we had was tasty.

We had an enjoyable time at the Giggling Squid. Food was delicious and the place was beautiful. Sareeya gave us fantastic service. Would come back to try out other dishes.

Sareeyq was incredible ! Great food and service 🫶 Highly recommend Would go back without a doubt and recommend the masamman curry

Went foe lunch. We had plenty of tapas and could have had lots more but saved some room for next time 😊 great service, great tasting food

Lovely food, we were served by Jessica and she was amazing. Great attentive service and perfect spot for a celebration.

We had a lovely dinner. Gib served us, as she has many times in the past, and she is always kind, courteous and happy.

Staff were kind and helpful but the food is crazily overpriced for what it is. £15 for sticky chicken now!

Great place for tasty food, we were well looked after by the staff, we defo recommend.

Went for a dinner with work colleagues. Food was fresh with flavours that did not disappoint at all.

We visit regularly and have asked for the hot spicy part of the food to be mellowed down at times and they have obliged well. Staff are always willing to help and go out of their way to do this such as recently when a waitress came back to us on a subsequent visit to answer a question we had asked about a sauce. Above and beyond. Very pleased.

Not a good experience!. Service was slow, food for the noodles pad Thai’s had VERY little chicken meat in them. Appeared they getting out the door the take out orders rather than our order. Normally like this place but overpriced for poor quality portion of meat & gone downhill . Better stick to a curry house next time.

We’ve been here a few times. It’s a nice place with good food and service. Last time we went service was very slow but I will say this was not the case the other times so just a one off I think. The room is nice but don’t sit near the door on a cold day cos it opens and the wind comes straight through and hits the front 10-ish tables. Overall a great place and recommended.

Amazing restaurant and staff. Definitely recomand to try thai food . Salt and pepper squid the best I ever had!!! Thai tea is amazing, iced !! I already recommended to all of my friends!!

The food was excellent! I had the lamb, and it was cooked perfectly. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was so attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was perfect. ... Overall, this was an incredible dining experience. ... I had a great experience at this restaurant!

bad food, strong smell, bad service, expensive, will never go back and advise everyone to stay away...

We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, the food was very nice, the staff were so lovely, even though the restaurant was full, it didn't feel overcrowded, very good ambience.

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful decor, service was attentive and food was fresh and delicious! Would highly recommend. Good date night place for sure :)

Absolutely stunning ambience, good friendly staff, beautiful cocktails & delicious Thai cuisine. The matcha cheesecake and mango pud were lovely as was the crab and prawn curry! Definitely visiting again.

V nice food, reasonably priced. Good seafood platter

Wow what a fantastic restaurant the food was outstanding. We will be 100% returning. The customer service was on point. It’s was spotless and clean. The smells and aromas from the kitchen were unbelievable.

The food in this restaurant is below average whilst I have to say it is one of the most expensive Thai restaurants I've ever been in... and I've been in a few. But the worst thing is the service which is truly utterly appalling. it was very quiet when we were there and I can now see why.... because there was plenty of staff but you have to call them for absolutely everything. Nobody comes to your table to check if everything is okay ...do you want any more drinks ... sweet...etc etc etc. They all just prefer to stand around chatting to each other in a corner somewhere. The food is tasteless and bland….the beer prices extortionate and I can’t stress enough how bad the service was. It truly was utterly appallingly bad service for which they add an automatic tip for themselves. Utterly disgraceful….and never again will we go anywhere near the giggling squid in Wokingham and my recommendation to all would be to stay away as well ...don't waste your time or your money on this dreadful place.

Fantastic food great service thanks Chelsea for great service

Really good food, but portions are small like in French restaurants.

Great service and location. Extremely hit and miss dishes. The sticky chicken is one of the most repulsive meals I've ever eaten. It was so salty that I think my body suffered from osmosis.

Been a few times here and always find it pretty good without being exceptional. Staff are responsive and pleasant and the food is always good quality. Not top end Thai, but then, it's not supposed to be! Will absolutely return again (and again).

Nice place, amazing food and did not have to wait very long.

Loved it here - we even made our own Affogato with Lychee ice cream

Was quite disappointed with the Wokingjam restaurant. Food is not that great service is very poor I eat in the Windsor restaurant most of the time. Popped in there for lunch Appalling is how would say

Can always rely on the food to be great and service to come with a smile. A lovely alternative Sunday lunch, only slightly marred by young children running around the restaurant screaming. Not the restaurants fault at all.

The food tastes old , it's not good at all. Couldn't eat our takeaway, even the rice is watery.. everything tastes weird

Bad service, I am so hungry and finished my Pad Thai quickly. Once they saw me finish and ask if I need something else I said no they bring me the bill immediately which I didn’t really ask for the bill yet. And Music is too loud.

The set menu lunch was great value

Casual Monday evening. Wings and king prawn Pad Thai. Great flavours and service.

Good atmosphere, good service and good food. If you order it spicy, be prepared.

We went to explore this place on a special occasion and we really enjoyed the ambience, quality of food and service. The salt and pepper squid and pork Dumplings were superb delicious and must try, the main course was also good in taste and in quantity. Thanks and would like to visit again.

Food is really tasty and service very good, we both enjoyed it very much, will always come back!

Very good food, nice atmosphere. Staff very efficient.

Ok for a takeaway. Annoying packaging not oven ready e.g. foil and often plastic used. Green Thai Tofu curry doesn't travel the best for takeaway in their plastic twin tub that's more for the restaurant convenience than the customer's. I transfer it, it often arrives with sauce coming out. I always re heat it. It is delicious. A great product but don't degrade it and send in a twin tub. Partner loves his food. Great samosas. The best. Pricey at £ 60 for a takeaway for 2.

The restaurant was busy but there seemed to be plenty of staff but no organisation as to who was responsible for our table . So we were asked the same questions several times. The cocktails were good but part of our first course didn’t arrive and we had to make several attempts to get someone’s attention to get it. I asked ( as per website advice I think) about the spiciness of a dish and was told it wasn’t spicy. It was! It was a duck dish and was also very fatty and little meat for almost £18. I wish she had checked if she wasn’t sure or maybe suggested that I go with a dish without chilli.

Sharing starter platter amazing. Confit Duck excellent

Amazing Thai food. Had the slow cooked beef and steak curry with jasmine rice. Flavours were amazing. Beautiful food.

Not bad. I thought £70+ for lunch without alcohol was quite expensive for 2 of us. The good bit was the new street food starter which we should of had 2 of. I chose chicken and cashew nut stir fry however you have to order the rice/noodles separately. My partner chose a fish dish which was not good, everything fried with no sce which made the meal very dry. Waitress was kind enough to offer us a sce to go with it but tbh she should have recognised that we weren't enjoying it and offered a replacement I think.

Average standard Thai food. No spectacular dishes. It is a chain and it shows. I went for my birthday with family and friends, There was a constant stream of delivery drivers coming in to the centrally located reception area, and going out. Not only constant commotion, but also leaving the front door open as it didn't shut on its own, with a cold draft coming in. Expensive for mediocre and fairly standard Thai dishes. Will not be going again.

Great recommendations by staff to meet out varied dietary needs. Wonderful experience. Can't get enough of the morning glory side dish.

I visited this establishment with the wife and baby, the food was very tasty with good sized portions so we were both pleased with that. Enjoyed the Thai wine, but did feel that it was slightly overpriced for the quality of the food. A bit more seasoning and this may be a different story! Overall, I will go again, but I will not be desperate to go as I was this time around. Would recommend the red curry!

Would have been lovely evening if we had not been ignored for 20 mins after arriving. Good very nice, drinks excellent nicely presented.

Requested a delivery and I was never more disappointed with a delivery service. The sizes of the meals are just ridiculous small, called the restaurant and all they said was “sorry”. This was definitely the last time I’ll order something from this restaurant.

Excellent food and great service. We love to visit this restaurant every time we are in this area. An excellent choice if you like Thai food

First time visiting was great service and family friendly. Good food thoroughly recommended

The staff were so friendly & attentive (shoutout to Jessica & Min), the food was delicious & great value for money, and the atmosphere was really nice. They went above and beyond and we had a great experience, thoroughly recommend. ☺️

The food was amazing and it started playing Taylor Swift. The Pad Thai on the kids menu was especially delicious.😄😄😄😄😄😄

Beautiful and delicious food, fantastic service. Elizabeth was outstanding and made our visit memorable.

Giggling Squid offered a culinary experience that can only be described as delicious and authentically crafted. The dishes were a delightful fusion of vibrant flavours, with each bite revealing a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savoury elements. The atmosphere complemented the dining experience, exuding authentic vibes. A must-visit for those craving a truly flavourful and genuine Thai dining adventure.

Great food and good service, the restaurant is quite noisy when fl making conversation difficult at times. Otherwise fab night.

Stopped for lunch. Easy to book a table online. Customer service was great! Noodles and vegetable spring roles taste good. Had to ask for no fried egg in noodles. Overall, it was a great restaurant.

I recently hit up this Thai joint, and let me tell you, it was off the charts! The food? Unreal. Seriously, I could eat their Pad Thai every day for the rest of forever. And the service? Top-notch, especially from the managers. They were on it like nobody's business. But here's the thing: a couple of the young waiters seemed more into their own convo than their job, which didn't scream professionalism. Still, overall, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Food and atmosphere were great but the staff were a little slow to serve and we had to catch their attention every time (despite the restaurant being fairly empty). They also gave us our main meals without first clearing the starter plates. My meal wasn't as expensive as I had assumed it would be.

A family favourite. Fresh, zesty, spicy and aromatic.

The food and service was great. The atmosphere was awful The place is full of flys

Wonderful place to eat, such a variety of food...we had massaman curry, cashew stir fry, sticky chicken and pad Thai. Every dish was delicious and we had really good service from Jessica. Only very minor bit is when the restaurant is busy it gets hard to hear each other! The service was top notch, attentive and communicative always checking we were ok.

Manager of this shop very kind, I went there with my partner for his part time job interview and I also ordered food there, when I was on the call and doing my work, one of the staff came straight to me and impolitely told me to move out with not good tone, I’m not sure because I come here with my partner for job interview but I did order food here as a customer, but she treat me differently, I can’t say anything at that time but it’s not good experiences to be treat like that.

Busy charming and welcoming. Mediocre Thai style food. Glutinous noodles. Rice in a lump and stir fry sauces unexciting and uncooked. I had duck which was nauseating.

Excellent first trip to Giggling Squid in Wokingham on Saturday night. Place was packed which gave it a great atmosphere. Did mean the service was slightly slower than we would have liked, but being picky, and definitely wouldn't have traded it for the good atmosphere. Food was delicious and will definitely be back!

Food is fragrant, delicious and filling. A great place for Thai food

Lovely place to dine with the family

Very pleasant. Courteous staff.

Last minute Friday night booking. Delicious food!!!! Our waitress Sunny had excellent knowledge of the menu so able to advise us on dishes as we were struggling to choose, she was very friendly and funny which really made our night. We ate like kings and enjoyed every mouthful. Thank you GigglingSquid and thank you Sunny - We hope you have a fantastic birthday 😘

Beautiful vegan meal for two. The food is so fresh, served on lovely china and very filling. The service was wonderful, such a beautiful woman who looked after us, she was a delight. And we loved the tea! We will definitely be back as soon as we can - thank you so much.

We really enjoyed our visit here. Lunch came to about £35 excluding drinks and we were absolutely stuffed full. Friendly waiting staff. Lovely atmosphere. The food was excellent with just enough choice. For a chain restaurant - but having never been to a Giggling Squid restaurant - I can highly recommend. We will certainly be back.

Expensive and awful food. ThaiSquare is much better

Popped in for midweek dinner after our wedding to enjoy our honeymoon before heading back to work! The service was friendly and accommodating however the food this time let us down with our visit. Our starters didn’t have much flavour and our mains weren’t the best still membrane on the squid and was chewy and the fish tasted really fishy and chicken strips were too greasy and tasted like oil needed to be changed! Our visit wasn’t what we expected this time around but would happily book again in the future to try again as we love Thai food! At the time of our visit there was also a few bigger tables which were clearly getting more attention which we understand but need to remember the smaller tables too. The service we received was nice and the gent servicing us understood the issues with our food and generously took some money off the bill for us! We will return in a few months but not anytime soon!

The service from the staff was top-notch. Food was full of flavoured and really well presented. Reasonably priced.

Always pleasure to come back, tasty food and it was quiet on Sunday around 5pm. We enjoyed it.

Had a wonderful meal with my mum who was visiting from Scotland and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of service and food. Special thanks to Jessica for her lovely smile and attentiveness, she made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Great food and service .. as always!!!

Excellent service and food is brilliant. Always come to the giggling squid you know you will get an amazing meal. Atmosphere and staff really lovely.

Lovely food. Great ambiance friendly an efficient service. Convenient parking close by and was nice to be able to sit outside

My favourite Giggling Squid. I live close to Bracknell branch but they're not good enough so I end up driving to Wokingham anyway

Had a wonderful evening here, fantastic food and great taste. Service was professional and considering how busy it was, it was very smooth Wish we had one in Woodley

Great service fantastic food we were a table of 7 and tried all there main menu food every think was perfect Served by Gib 5star

Very enjoyable pre-cinema dinner. Excellent range of Thai dishes - all excellent quality. Great cocktail choices too. First class service from Natalia.

Interesting menu, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Service was efficent and friendly. Food looked and tasted good.

Fantastic food Service was great from Jess Great experience 💜 Would come again Lovely pretty restraint

I love the restaurant! We always go for lunch and it never disappoints. The decoration is very tasteful and was made for customers to feel good and thus enjoy their meals. It's very clean too. The Staff is attentive and kind. It's indeed a 5 star in service and food 🤩

Just amazing. Stunning food, great service. Despite of the restaurant being very full and busy we did not need to wait for our food too long. The downside is that from all she excitement we forgot to take our take away bag with food from the table and it was too far to come back when we realised, I can’t tell you how gutted we were ! :( will return again for sure and truly can’t wait.

Es uno de mis restaurantes favoritos de Wokingham . La comida y la presentación es excelente. Lo recomiendo mucho . El lugar es agradable para compartir en familia

We have eaten here with friends several times recently as the food and service are just so good. Staff are efficient, friendly and really create a lovely atmosphere in such a busy restaurant. We tend to treat the meal like tapas and share dishes which allows everyone to sample a wide variety of dishes. Everything we have tried has been well cooked, tasty and beautifully presented and we particularly love the Sea Bass, Confit Duck and Sticky Chicken. Really the only issue is the lack of choice in desserts, although I did enjoy trying the sesame ice cream.

A dissapointing visit on a Saturday evening. The restaurant is obviously doing well as we couldn't book a table till after 8pm, calling about 3 days ahead. On arrival we were met with a throng of delivery drivers hoovering outside (as well as the usual smokers) and then spent 10 minutes in a queue waiting to be seated. The food, when it eventually came, was of the usual standard, no complaints there, but between the constant and endless parade of said delivery drivers (and the draught from the open door) and the hour wait on our own food our mood had substantialled soured by the time we left. Seems the kitchen can't handle both on a busy evening, probably to the detriment of both types of diners. I declined the 'additional' service charge and our server did keep apologising for the delays. Please do consider this if you're thinking of dining here on a Friday or Saturday evening.

The salmon paneang was divine and we really enjoyed the mango cake. Will return to dine here at the earliest opportunity

Should not make order through Deliveroo takes 1 hours orders keep cooking for hours . Not complaining on drivers but cooking time is usually 45 Minutes or nearly 1 hours.

Excellent range of delicious food, well priced.

Misleading menu and prices - careful. ‘ nice with rice or noodles” doesn’t mean it’s included

I would have preferred to have been able to contact the head office team to give this feedback but alas they do not provide a way to give feedback/ get in touch on their website so I have to resort to leaving a Google review. Please consider that perhaps the staff at this chain were having a bad day, as we all can but my experience was really not what you expect from a relatively pricey Thai restaurant. Food: the fast majority of food is loaded with sugar making it sickly sweet. This includes the starters, pad thai mains and so on. Everything was under seasoned otherwise and lacked any flavours truly representing what Thai food should provide you with. A massaman curry was lazy with the spices barely blended and completely unbalanced. The meal was nothing short of the worst thai experience I’ve ever had in the UK in a restaurant. Staff: inexperienced, multiple mistaken orders, lacked knowledge of the menu and what options were available. Took orders with adjustments to dishes for children but then brought the meals as advertised. However, they were friendly and seemed to try their best. I understand that there are catering staff challenges for many companies but clearly an urgent need for training at this restaurant, especially given the fact that the place was not even at half capacity with at least 4 servers. Given the above I really do not recommend this restaurant and suggest you find a cheaper, non-chain, alternative!

Had a lovely meal, was delicious
