Highly recommend this place and i absolutely love the Korean fried rice, as it’s packed full of flavours and has nice kick of spice. Service is amazing and always accommodating and welcoming.

Went in here a couple weeks ago on a busy Saturday, the food was great and matched my expectations. However, I see a lot of phones on behind the bar which makes it seem that a few behind the bar are incompetent. That’s why I’ve given it a 3/5 stars for service, although the few who are working around the restaurant are great and carried the experience for me and my friends.

Tried this place twice now, definitely won't go back, the food was horrendous. Prawns in oyster sauce, was like Prawns in hot water, no taste whatsoever, noodles were clumped together, a sticky mess, inedible. Thought I'd give the place a second visit, never again...

Got in without a reservation so good start but did seem to be seated in a hidden corner. Ordered our food and starters came out very quick and was nice. After waiting an age for our mains I finally asked how long it would be to be told just 3/4 mins. Finally turned up a further 15 mins latter Also even when being asked what we wanted to eat our empty bottles wasn't taken away from our small table The food was nice But can't see me going back

Food lovely, no problems there. We got in with no reservation, however we were placed at the back of the restaurant out of the way. Starter came out very quickly and was very nice. We then waited over 40 minutes, and then had to ask where the main course was! After another 10 minutes we were served! Overall food was food, but the service puts me off going again.

Update: used to adore this restaurant, but my recent visit left me utterly disappointed. The excessive noise was beyond tolerable; it felt like an assault on my senses. Despite finishing my meal quickly, the raucous atmosphere drove me to leave prematurely. There seemed to be a group of rowdy trollops their drunken revelry disrupting the ambiance for everyone else. I politely requested a different table, hoping for some respite, but my plea was denied without explanation. It left me wondering why we were seated in such a chaotic spot in the first place. Overall, it was a regrettable waste of what was meant to be a delightful night out. Also meals are tiny.

I ordered dim sum, followed by chicken panang with special fried rice. After paying and taking it home I thought it was a bit expensive. However it was worth every penny. An assault on the senses. It looked great, smelt great and the taste! Excellent. I’m so glad I tried another dish - but I have a problem - Thai Green, Red Curry or panang?

We hadn’t been out for a Thai since the Thai in sudbury closed down which was quite some time ago! So we decided to take the short journey to Halstead to try Imjai. As with all things new we were a little apprehensive, especially as to begin with we were the only ones in there ( we did go early). However I have to say the service was brilliant from start to finish. All of our starters were great. And the mains seriously nice! All of them. Fresh and tasty. I asked all of the children if they would come back and it was a resounding yes! Which is something believe me!!

We prefer to eat early evening; The Imjai Restaurant opens at 17.00 and have visited this restaurant on several occasions, thus trying almost everything on the menu, we have thoroughly enjoyed all of the various dishes. We have, however, never had 'room' to consume a pudding (having been so well replenished). The prices, including the drinks are very reasonable, and the staff helpful, engaging and very attentive. Altogether a relaxing experience.

A taste of Thailand! Well, I don't usually leave a review so soon after a visit but I've literally just polished off half a Beef Massaman, Chicken Penang, coconut rice and sweetcorn fritters and I need to rave about this place!! Ordered takeaway, which was ready on time and steaming hot. Warm enough to eat after a 30 min journey home because it was so well packaged. The curries were just wonderful, full of flavour, rich and creamy and good sized portions. The homemade chilli sauce to accompany the fritters was yummy! I have missed Thailand during the pandemic and am counting the days until I can return but Imjai has afforded me a little taste of that heaven! Will definitely return and most definitely recommend. Thank you!!

Chicken with greasy covered in bread crumbs...perfect for Hart attack. Restaurant was really noisy at no point they ask how was everything...took ages to serve 1 hour.
