Jumunjy Thai Restaurant & Bar @ The Old Post Office in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

My first visit here, great food with friends. 2 Even Better Ifs: train the staff away from 'you guys' as it takes away from the otherwise good service to a fastfood service. Also, consider slightly smaller portions. We all have a role to play to get to grips with obesity in our society, including restaurants 😇

We've eaten in and had takeaway from Jumunjy many times. Service is always fantastic and the vegan food is incredible. Such flavours! Would highly recommend if you're in the area, phone ahead as they do get busy.

Just super in every way the food authentic and flavourful

Ataste of THAILAND ......Not just the food ....an AMAZING TRAVEL EXPERIENCE in the heart of WEST CORNWALL .......I can only say that I was taken away by the lovely owner and staff ...and authentic to nother world ......most HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .......dine in or take away ...dont miss the chance to look around ...❤️👍💥

We were seatied in the crèches. More children than adults most with little adult supervision. Music was absolutely atrocious, ‘rap’ crap. Actual Menus were dirty and well worn. Drinks arrived eventually but that was the only time we were asked about drinks. Service was unbelievably slow 1:20 minutes until entrees arrived. No apology and we even had to ask for our check!

Beautiful food served by lovely people. We will definitely be back!

Loved our meal 5 of us, all great, will be back soon. Thank you 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Food was excellent. Very authentic as was the decor. Not cheap, but reflected in the quality of the ingredients. Staff very pleasant and patient to guide you through the comprehensive 33 page menu. Going back tomorrow!

Amazing restaurant with great service and food. Happy to recommend!

A stunning little restaurant, quite unique. Excellent Thai food and cosy ambience.

My family and I decided to try this resturant out considering it was on our travels, we are a family of 6 and we asked a member of staff if they dinned for young children, which he just replied "yes". We were slightly confused at first what was the entrance, we then found the entrance and had to look for a moment for a member of staff and we were actually quite disappointed with the very blunt quiet staff we had. They didn't come over and check things were okay, if we wanted any more drinks ect, just sat us down and gave us a menu. We were quite surprised how expensive it was, but children were soo hungry so we decided to stay even though there really wasn't much for children, however we gave my 1 and 2 year odd bits off everyones plate as they don't eat too much, I got my son their version of kfc with a few chips, when they came out he had 3 very small chicken gourgon type breaded chicken, and about 6 small chunky chips, he was starving after still, and we had main meals and were shocked at how small the portion sizes were, we all came out starving, food was okay - nothing special and definitely wouldnt say it was amazing considering the prices, you'd expect higher standards. The biggest downfall here is the very unfriendly and no energy type staff with barely any social skills. Low standard food and too highly priced. When you have finished you havw to fins someone to bring you the bill, when they do they come and hand you a jumanji game type wooden box and because i only had notes i gave them over what i needed to and she shut the box and walked off and didnt come back with my change, just presumed it was a tip??, at this point i just wanted to get out the place with children crying ext still being hungry ect so I left after waiting a while, no one even asked if it was a tip or anything just didn't come back. When me and my partner revisit cornwall soon on our own without the children, we would avoid this place and also recommend others too also.

This restaurant was recommended to me. I really can't understand the hype though. We still managed to get a seat despite the restaurant being fully booked. Everyone was very friendly. It takes a while to find your way around. In my opinion, price/performance is not possible at all. We call it a dish for a hollow tooth. It was just far too little for the price and then I also had the shell on one of the 6 shrimps. The bowl/plate looks very large in the picture but was only about 20 cm and only filled by one centimeter. £20 for that - unbelievable. Maybe like a soup ladle in terms of mass. The taste was okay, but it wasn't a high-flyer. Oh, the rice had to be ordered separately for £2.50, otherwise I would only have had the one ladle of sauce with 6 prawns. I wouldn't want to go here again and wouldn't recommend it to others.

We ordered Pad Thai spring rolls Pad see yu with chips. The chips were ok. That’s all I would like to say without getting angry considering the prices they charge. Avoid

Food was delicious- would recommend and will be going back

Nice place, good food, and friendly staff 👍🏼

Stopped here on our travels after a long day, there was some confusion on our behalf as my boyfriend had ordered for take away and I thought we were to dine outside. I ordered my food inside and went to go and join my partner. Moments later a waiter came to tell us about the confusion whether we both wanted to take away or not - we are really easy going and said sorry for the mix up and we were happy to sit outside whatever was easier for them. The waiter seemed to be a little short with us and just asked me bluntly to come and pay which of course was not an issue. He forgot my drinks and I had to ask again he seemed a miffed off for the trouble. Working in hospitality for 10+ years I just found his demeanour very abrasive and would be very disappointed if my staff conducted themselves in this way. Hoping that this attitude wasn’t a reflection of the food we sat and waited for it (waitress who brought it was lovely). Sat in the car to check and the dissatisfaction just kept rolling, tempura veg was mushy and tasteless - could not differentiate what vegetable was what. Pad Thai was the most bland I have ever tasted, and to my surprise the waiter had put on pork ribs instead of bbq so it was a lovely dry meal for me. Boyfriend’s red curry was ok but the majority went in the bin such a shame after reading lovely reviews and spending over £60. As we’re not local we won’t be coming back but if we were i certainly wouldn’t be in a rush to dine again

Amazing place, well worth a visit Great authentic food in a tropical atmosphere with knowledgeable attentive staff

Great food (restaurant ot takeaway) probably the best in Cornwall !!

The food was very tasty and the atmosphere and staff were great. There were Gf Vegan options. Only complaint is we asked for the food very spicy and it came out with lots of chillies but they weren't particularly spicy at all, we asked for more chopped chillies but they were still mild, don't know if this is a Cornwall thing as we have had similar thing at other restaurants here. Overall great food and restaurant tho!

OMG! What a place! You have to visit! Incredible food. Awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌

A great place to eat and brilliant food

Beautiful food beautiful restaurant in a beautiful location and great service 5*****

Superb! The food, flavours, presentation and the service are outstanding. We didn’t get a place to sit so we did a takeaway. Would gladly recommend.

Amazing restaurant with very tasty food. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. Would surely come back.

Not worth the money, seemed to be chaos on service and food wasn't all that. Decorations were unique and reasonably cool. Staff were nice though

We stopped by this restaurant by chance. And what a surprise!!! Impeccable service, waitress of absolute helpfulness and kindness and very good advice. Absolutely delicious cuisine, generous portions, a treat for the taste buds of young and old. I highly recommend to all backpackers!

Incredible food, great atmosphere in a lovely restaurant, excellent service from all friendly and helpful staff, will highly recommend

So good to see such fantastic food and a beautiful place and so typically Thai 🇹🇭 🤩

Lovely place. It's expanded since we visited two years prior. Awesome decor, awesome food. Friendly and welcoming service. See you next time we visit Cornwall

Wonderful Restaurant.....perfekt style....lovely food!!!! Why not Thai Music ? ...to get the perfekt style....

Omg this place was the best food amazing looks lovely unside will defo go back

Very good cuisine. If you are not an insider, you need some time to get your bearings or seek advice. Completely friendly service. Nice rustic atmosphere. Large selection of wines and good beers. Price ok. Located right on the street. Plenty of parking spaces.

Fantastic food, I mean really good, best Thai food I've ever had. Lovely accommodating staff and service and beautifully crafted settings.

Absolutely amazing restaurant, service was top rate food was top top rate , well recommended we will be back

Absolutely 10/10 food. My partner and I were on holiday in the area and stumbled across this place. We were speechless over the food it was absolutely outstanding and the place is really unique. Great service as well.

Ate here on the recommendation of a taxi driver. There was still a table available without a reservation. Nicely received and wide choice on the menu. Delicious food and great service. Beautiful interior, tastefully decorated.

Superbly the best Cornish Thia Restaurant ever. Every time we come down to Cornwall we pay a visit to Jumunjy. From small beginnings to present their quality food has never changed. Excellent staff in every sense. Thank you once again for a wonderful Thia food experience see you next year 😊

The most amazing food and atmosphere. The bar is incredibly well stocked. It’s really the best Thai in Cornwall, in the South of England, England.

Very friendly welcome, despite the full restaurant we still got a table for two. The food was excellent, highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Came here for my wife's 40th birthday. If you have never been here then you are missing out on something very very special. The food is to die for, it's absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very professional and friendly. You couldn't ask for more. The restaurant decoration is gob smacking. We will be using here on a regular basis. All I say is do the same. You won't be disappointed.

This is a nice restaurant, This area of Cornwall has been crying out for some speciality cuisine restaurants. The food was good typical Thai cuisine. The Service though seemed a bit slow and a bit confused? Also, the atmosphere is a bit out of character for a Thai restaurant it felt more like a rustic burger street bar not a Thai one. Will I eat there again?..yes. I am sure it'll gow on me.

What a find. The atmosphere, the staff, the owner and the food all excellent. Honestly the restaurant is a gem. A breath of fresh air so far away from the maddening crowd. Soooo good. You will not be disappointed.

Loved it! Went for dinner with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The food was delicious. The service was good and would definitely recommend stopping in there if you're passing by

Had drinks here one evening and takeaway later in the week, gorgeous little hideaway! Although unassuming from the outside, stepping through the door is like entering a portal to another world of spicy goodness and delicious drinks. Very recommend!

Amazing food and the restaurant decor is unique. The staff are lovely. I would highly recommend a visit.

Amazing food, staff, service and atmosphere. The decor is on another level. I've been coming here for years and the price is alot more than it used to be so not as often anymore but still will be back!.

Top. Food was great. Service very friendly.

Wonderful food and helpful staff. Modified my meal (stir fry) to be gluten and dairy free and it was amazing. Egg fried rice even on its own is super yummy. Will order again when in the area.

Great staff, great food, and great selection of drinks 👌🏻

Like a meal with family... but in an awe-inspiring setting with gourmet chefs!! 😋🍻 I first came across Jumunjy in May 2018 when they were operating a takeaway service and was blown away by the quality, far exceeding that of restaurants at such good value! So ever since they opened their own restaurant, I’ve been itching to return! …just the small details of a global pandemic and it being 300 miles away from home to get past 😄 However, when I decided to return to Lizard for the first time for a birthday roadtrip, I knew exactly where I’d go for my celebration meal, and it honestly blew me away! Firstly, the staff are AMAZING, so so welcoming! Big shout-outs to Izzy, Karen, Roo, Rachel and Harry! This is a solo roadtrip but I felt like I was surrounded by friends! The decor is also incredible, creating an immersive and truly authentic feel of Thailand, and since they've built it all themselves, an incredible passion project! I also loved the fact that they have a separate bar area as well as the restaurant section, to relax in before/after the meal. This would absolutely be my local if I lived anywhere near them! The food was every bit as impressive as the two times I'd used the takeaway, creating masterful dishes that people simply wouldn't have the expertise to produce themselves. The seafood tempura was perfect, and the Hung Lay pork was divine, a fantastic balance of flavours and I'm definitely going to try to find somewhere in London where I can source the tasty roti flatbreads!! The portions were very generous, and the same can be said for the accompanying cocktails! Thank you again for a very special birthday, you've truly created something special!!

Super cool venue, with great staff and the most amazing food. Definitely worth a visit

Not bad ..not as good as the reviews make out to be ! Starters very small main course very good pricey on the drinks

Another visit to this fantastic restaurant and still without Bim who we all miss. Hopefully her and T will be home soon. Sublime food as always and with great staff. The ultimate Thai dining experience.

Wow wow wow and wow again, what an amazing place, everything about Jumunjy is just perfect, the service wonderful, the food amazing, the atmosphere just right. The staff know the right amount of attention to give without being over the top, the decor is great they have really worked hard and succeeded in making it feel different authentic. The food is portioned perfectly so as to satisfy but not over fill, the quality was excellent, very well done to all the staff including those behind the scenes. To the owners you should be very proud of your staff and thank you for delivering a wonderful dining experience.

Sadly the food was lacking any flavours. This included starters and main. Tempura vegetables where bland, pork skewers where barely marinated, the chicken curry lacked any depth and the Pad sea ew… well I could have just friend noodles at home and added soy sauce. Don’t bother!

What a gem! This place is just awesome. The ambience, the staff, the theming of the restaurant, let alone the quality of the food! Not just 'The Best Thai in Cornwall', this was *by far* the best Thai food we have *ever* had. Anywhere. Ever. It's a *must* visit!! I guess it's a case of: 'You can take the chefs out of Thailand but can never take Thai out of the chefs!' Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back!

Wow. Was given a voucher for this amazing restaurant. If I didn’t have the voucher, I wouldn’t have visited. Soo glad I did. The venue is decked out perfectly. You could almost be in Thailand. The staff are wonderful. So friendly and helpful and always have a smile. Then there’s the main attraction - the food. Absolutely gorgeous. The starter was lovely, but the Penang curry was “to die for”. This was my first experience of authentic Thai cuisine; I will definitely be going back.

This place is absolutely outstanding, the staff are super friendly and in a relaxed atmosphere. The staff seem to all have smiles and happy to be there. The decoration of the restaurant is stunning. The building is a old granite post office, but once you step inside its like you've been teleported into a Thai jungle. The food is incredible..... and we will be backl to try more of the menu!!

We were staying about 15 minutes away and ordered a meal for collection, which was available at the time booked. Staff were most pleasant, if a bit disorganised. However, the meals ordered, which comprised green Thai curry and various PhadThai dishes and rice, were totally stodgy and unbelievably flavourless. Completely disappointing, particulatly when paying well in excess of £100 for the meal. Would never recommend.

Although we arrived home with our takeaway with a couple of items missing that made some difference to our enjoyment, the food we had was very nice. After contact with a manager a full refund was offered and very much appreciated.

Great place, superb food and great service

Amazing food, amazing service, amazing drinks. Absolutely cannot fault it.

Our first experience of Thai food. Son & daughter in law are experienced diners but staff were on hand and were very capable advisers too. Truly wonderful experience!

Gotta say the roast beef and pork is the best I've ever had !!! Fantastic place

Excellent food, ambiance and service... What more could you want!

What a beautiful setting for a meal, so unique. We sat in the 'front room', it was very cosy. There was a great choice of food & it was absolutely delicious 😋 We'll definitely return & will recommend. Thank you one & all. X

Amazing place Food cooked to perfection music is always banging, and Fri &Sat night they have their talented DJ All staff are helpful, respectful and so nice

Great food, venue, and atmosphere. Jumunjy is something different, the jungle theme is fab, and jas a chilled, relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our evening

I just wanted to share my recent experience at this amazing place with you. I had an absolutely wonderful time - the food was exceptional, the service was brilliant, and the atmosphere was simply amazing! If you're looking for a great place to go and try for yourself, I highly recommend giving it a shot!

Honestly the best Thai I’ve had!

We visited Jumanjy on a recommendation from our air b and b hosts, while we visited Cornwall. We had originally planned to get a takeaway as we were travelling with our dog, but to our delight, the place was dog friendly, even the restaurant. Not only that, the food was excellent, the decor brilliant, the drinks selection was great and the service was wonderful. I wish we didnt live 7 hours away or this would be a regular visit.

Amazing authentic Thai food. Lovely staff and really funky dining areas

Best Authentic Thai food, big portion.

Wow, what a find! Fabulous and quirky restaurant, great atmosphere and the best Thai food I have ever eaten (and I've eaten lots). Will definitely be going back

Food was great (pork was chewy) Service a little slow when ordering drinks, but all in all we had a lovely meal

Very quirky, loved it, excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, amazing food, best I’ve had outside of Thailand.

Fantastic service with excellent food. My children enjoyed a curry and spare ribs. I had extra spicey noodles. It was just our family there celebrating a double birthday and I can't recommend this place more.

What a disappointment jumunjy was .Was really looking forward to this as a birthday treat.The food was bland and one dish came out cold.And the service was terrible .One staff member was awful and rude . Waited an hour and a half for the food and when l mentioned the food was cold the staff member just rolled their eyes .The dish came back hot but it was microwave for sure .Not impressed at all .look forward to your feedback on this .

came back from having a Sunday roast very impressed. It was delicious The decor is beautiful, the staff are amazing and give such a welcoming vibe!

I absolutely love this place, the food is sooooo good, especially the chicken penang!

Wow, if you've not been, then you need to go. Amazing atmosphere, very cool, eclectic and fascinating decor. Great, friendly and knowledgable staff. Best Thai food ive ever had, and I love Thai food!

We just had a large takeaway for 6 people and the food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be ordering again. Not the first time we've had great food from Jumunjy. Please do go and pay this family run business a visit. You won't be disappointed.

It really is difficult to state what a great place this is . Food,drinks, atmosphere, staff etc etc all 100% If you want real Thai food- not the imitation stuff churned out by typical" Thai restaurants " then this is the place. And the range of bar drinks is equally appetising, prepared and served by friendly yet knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere...complete with a crashed plane (!) and waterfall Is perfect and complements the dining experience exactly. But this place obviously gets busy. So don't leave it too late to book !

If you love spicy foods well worth a visit

First Visit. The Tempura Prawns to start were Delicious. I personally don't like spices or anything hot so Not much for me to eat as a main meal. But my Husband Loves Spicey food so he was ok.

Great to see T and Bim again. Fantastic restaurant and Bar keeping up the traditional style from Jumunjy in Koh Phangan, Thailand. 🇹🇭

Well worth the visit. Thanks for an enjoyable evening in amazing surroundings.

Absolutely amazing hidden treasure near a small village on the Lizard Penninsular. Beautiful, quirky buildings made from recycled wood from old ships & creative decorations. Fantastic Thai food authentic recipes, huge menu, delicious & made & served with love. Highly recommend Big car park so no probs, an absolute find.

Probably the best thia I have ever eaten. Unreal flavour. Definitely worth going. Just wish we wasn't 7 hours away

Absolutely amazing food here! Best Thai we have been too. The decoration is amazing and querky and the food and cocktails are lovely. The flavour was next level! Dog and child friendly :)

Great place ,fantastic food ,chicken wings to die for slight problem with the bill but professionally sorted. ..

By far the best place we visited while staying in Cornwall this year. We were greeted with a smile, and swiftly taken to our table, where a clean highchair was provided for our son to sit in. (The amount of places that give you dirty high chairs is astonishing). The restaurant was roughly 1/3 full when we arrived at 18:30. Our drinks and food order was taken together, with a large variety to chose from. I chose to have the seafood red Thai curry, which came with monkfish, squid and king prawns, along with numerous other ingredients such as fresh chillies and lemongrass. Honestly the best Thai food I've ever eaten. The serving team were great, interacting with our little boy, waving and talking to him. Couldn't fault the service we received. The atmosphere in the restaurant was great, with so much decoration to look at and some background music playing in theme to the food being served. We left around 8:30pm, and the restaurant was full, with more people waiting to be seated as we left. These guys are getting it spot on. Will be back on our next holiday.

The food was excellent, lovely cosy atmosphere. A perfect little gem, you will not be disappointed

only my 2nd Thai meal so can only give 4* atm but omg what a place the decor transports you to Thailand and so many quirky bits absolutely loved it will definitely revisit when back in the area please when rhe time is right put one in North Devon cheers for now gary and Jane

Great service, lovely atmosphere and the food is out of this world. Price reflects the whole experience you get what you pay for! Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely food and good service

What can I say? What a special place to eat in Cornwall. From the minute you walk in, it's just wow. To think this was once a post office is insane. The staff were amazing, especially Charlotte, who looked after us throughout the night. It's the best Tai food I have ever tasted and can't wait to come back. And to top it off, there is a resident DJ playing at weekends when you're eating and drinking .

New to the area and a bit disappointed in our experience after getting so many good recommendations. A summary of the situation… 1. Placed at a barrel table, in a very cold spot and next to a set of toilets. Had to wear a coat throughout the meal, and the barrel doesn’t make for a great table. Too small and not ideal for tall people. 2. Uncomfortable stool for seating, although I suffer from sciatica, which obviously doesn’t help. 3. Had to get the attention of someone to get served as no one attended our table for 15-20mins. 4. Starter took another 25mins and was cold and overcooked. 5. Music turned off for approx. 25mins which dampened the atmosphere. The main dish was quite nice but sadly is was a poor evening to something me and my partner were looking forward to. We should have said something but we just wanted to leave as soon as possible after point 4. It sounds like a moan, I know, but wanted to leave feedback so they can take the comments onboard. I’m sure we will give it another go in the future.

It's great to be back for another authentic meal, Penang Curry beef with Jasmine rice for me and Oyster veg with a small amount of chilli for my wife. Profiteroles each for dessert. Pint of Jumunjy lager and glass of red wine to go with it. Lovely atmosphere nice helpful staff, as always a great visit. Booked for 6. 15, and it was busy and got busier at the tables and with takeaways, no rush, and the staff coping well. Definitely recommend booking a table.

The place is absolutely beautiful and the staff are amazing. the food was good but not the best Thai I've had. however lovely evening here. spent £33 on a cocktail and sharing a starter and main. so quite pricey
