Jun Jaow Thai Restaurant in Torbay

We visited last night for a 'catch-up' with a dear friend. We'd been meaning to try this Thai Restaurant after reading other excellent reviews. They were not wrong!! On arrival, the place was packed (which is always a good sign!), the atmosphere, with its central, open kitchen, was buzzing. The staff, especially 'Ning', could not have been more delightful and helpful in choosing our menu. For authentically cooked Thai cuisine, this place is a 'must visit'.

Mindy and the Team were excellent. There friendly customer care and lovely and kind nature made our experience in the restaurant wonderful. Very attentive and service with a pure smile does wonders. I believe everyone on our table of 8 people tipped. Best wishes to Mindy and the team at Jun Jaow Thai. From 103 Richard King

Visited yesterday food was fabulous as was the service, shout out to Mindy for looking after us. We enjoyed our meal so much we've booked again for this evening 😄

What a wonderful place to eat .... no need to travel to Thailand when you can experience the high standard of food in this restaurant. All the staff are so welcoming and provide a great service. The kitchen is set in the centre of the restaurant and this enables you to sit and watch your food being prepared. We had a sharing platter as a starter and then chose from the selection of curries and rice for our main course .... absolutely delicious!

We ate here tonight. The spring rolls were delicious and the main courses we very nice. We were served by Malida who was very helpful and attentive. Would thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Great restaurant and excellent staff. I'm from the Midlands and first time visiting Torquay. I rang up on the day of my sons birthday as last minute choice so I phoned this restaurant requesting a table for 2 which they greatly accommodate us and even moved us to a table of our choice. Surprisingly the restaurant serves certain halal dishes if you ask on arrival which I loved. The service was immaculate as was the food. My son loved the king prawn main course from the specials. To top of the night they surprised my son with a delicious cake and created a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff highly recommend you visit this restaurant when you visit Torquay. Special thank you to the onwer for sorting everything out on short notice.

We visited this place few months ago for a special occasion. Ambiance is very pretty and warm. Service is excellent. They even ran through vegan options for us. The best thing is they have an open kitchen and you can actually see them cook your food. Which is amazing and their hygiene standard is amazing.

Served by Lily, who is warm and friendly, and served us promptly. We had a takeaway. Food is authentic and delicious.

JunJaow Thai Restaurant is so good, we ended up going twice in four days - just superb. Located on the edge of town and whilst there is street parking it can be quite tricky to find a space so do bear in mind if arriving by car. The ambiance is perfect, the restaurant is nicely atmospheric with the kitchen dividing up the space - I hadn't actually realised how big a space this was until entering, it's tardis like and was buzzing. Food is excellent, over the two visits we tried the Green Curry, Pad Kee Mao, Pad Thai - all were delicious and perfectly spiced. Service was also very good - we'll definitely be heading back - mains are prices 12-15 which is excellent value.

We enjoyed a lovely meal in a relaxed atmosphere. It was great to se the chefs cooking in front of us. I would definitely recommend.

Lovely restaurant, with lovely and friendly staff.

Great food would defo recommend you

I had a reservation for my 12th birthday back in February this year. I couldn’t be any happier. Straight away when I walked in with my family they offered to put my birthday cake in the fridge and sat us at our table. The food was amazing! And the workers were very kind and friendly. A bit later after we finished eating multiple workers came out with my cake lighted up while singing me happy birthday. The interior is very nice and calm. Overall me and my family really enjoyed this restaurant. I definitely recommend it!

The food was very good and the service was very friendly. Everyone was on task and full of energy. We had the waitress Mindy who was very friendly and always greeted us warmly. We can only recommend this restaurant

Delicious Thai food, Seemed freshly made. Great service. Afterwards asked for some takeaway to be delivered too and needed it delivered at a particular time for some guests that were arriving at a particular time. Was delivered bang on time.

Had deliveries from here for years and finally went in house to eat tonight, everything was on point, from “welcome” to “see you soon” which you certainly will. James & Lucy 36 Hatfield

Had a beautiful meal last night. The staff were all very friendly and the food was amazing. Will defo be back 🥰

Friendly staff, welcoming, Thai fish cake delicious and the rest of the food that we order are average

Wow, what a find, an absolute belter. Our first time eating Thai and definitely not our last. Chris the owner was so accommodating. His team were so polite and helpful explaining the different dishes so we could order the right food for our pallets. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was faultless. If you are staying in or near Torquay, make a beeline for this restaurant. A must for any foodies.

My husband and I were looking forward a date night here. The food was lovely but wasn't blown away which we have been from other Thai restaurants in the bay. We were a bit disappointed with the general atmosphere, extremely loud and sat on a small crammed table. What really let our visit down was how we were spoken to. I called to apologise we were running late but we would still like to make our booking. His response was 'you're calling to tell me your late when you're late? Better that than not calling I suppose' followed by a miserable 'thanks' really quite rude and we were considering going somewhere else. It's a shame because we were looking forward to going.

We booked a table for 4 and ate around 6pm so it was not too busy hence only 4 star for atmosphere would expect a real buzz and great atmosphere when it's busy. The food was all great and the service very friendly throughout.. we were hosted mostly by Lilly and she was lovely. Dessert menu is amazing and we'll worth leaving room for! Highly recommend this for a Thai

Delicious food - will definitely be ordering again😊

Ordered rolls which were dripping in oil and meat inside undercooked, ate one, rest went to the bin. The duck is okay nothing special. Next time I’ll just wait for I am Thai to open rather than ordering from elsewhere. Almost £20 for okay duck & oily rolls. Will not order here again.

Food was very good, staff were very friendly and helpful. Large drink selection and dog friendly, will definitely be returning.

Junjaow is one of our favourite restaurants in the area and never disappoints! Besides having freshly made and extremely tasty dishes, this family run eatery always has a good friendly atmosphere. Keep up the good work, see you again soon! 😊

never put noodles in bag not happy was looking forward to it

Excellent in every way, well pleased

Had many takeaways from here and eaten there a few times, everything’s fantastic! Got a takeaway last night for a dinner party at home and everyone raved about it. Owner even gave me some complimentary beers. Staff team are lovely and atmosphere is perfect. Can’t recommend this place enough 5⭐️

Nice place to enjoy good Thai food with friends and family

The food was amazing. Not the first time ordering from here and definitely not the last

Our first visit, we will definitely be back. Great choice of food, excellent service and atmosphere.

We have been many times to the family run restaurant, Junjaow. It's authentic Thai food is consistently delicious. The menu is expansive so there are plenty of options to try something new each time. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated with an open kitchen with happy chefs cooking up the feasts. The waiting staff are friendly and helpful and always greet us with a smile. Junjaow is our go to restaurant in Torquay to bring friends for a celebratory meal or just drop in for dinner or a takeaway.

Lucky to get a table on a very busy Saturday evening. Staff very friendly and the food was excellent.

This is the fourth time we have visited. Highly recommended for both the food and quality of service.

Delicious Pad Thai ! The best in UK all food was amazing

What I liked most about this is it's completely open plan so you can sit in restaurant and watch your meal been cooked

Service was great, the delivery driver was polite and friendly. The chicken satay was to die for but the main was very bland and stodgy. It was nothing like when I eat in or previous deliverys. It was quite disappointing but I must say that’s the first time out of 20+ times I’ve ordered that I wasn’t pleased with the main dish.

Wrong order received twice. Food was tepid. Service wasn't great, got the order wrong, it wasn't even busy, and when mentioned to the waitress she said it was only her 2nd shift and she really didn't know what she was doing! Staff need better training before interacting with customers as you have now lost customers because we won't be back. Visited In September 2023 and it was lovely, certainly gone down hill since then.

There were six of us and we had a taste of almost everything. It was delicious. Service was impeccable and prompt. We were mostly served by Lilly. She was lovely. Will definitely recommend to friends 👌

Amazing food, amazing service, especially Lilly and Damian, always very professional and polite. Very recommend

as always the food was amazing.

A mid week meal is an excellent pleaser here. Staff friendly and the open plan kitchen shows off the skills of the Thai chefs and cooks. I recommend mid week as it is a quieter and more relaxed eat. Great food for sure.

Quality not great. I ordered medium but it was very mild. Not much content in either the spring rolls or massamam curry given the price. I live 2 mins away and food was barely warm. I won’t use them again.

. Friendly helpful staff, you can choose how hot you want some of the dishes. I enjoyed what I had and will be returning to try something else. Not the ideal restaurant to go to if you are on gluten free diet, check menu first.

Cannot rate food as didn't try, although the food looked good but service was really good and staff were friendly.

Why is this place not full 7 nights a week. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Will be back ASAP. X

Had an amazing mid week dinner. First time eating here. Great authentic experience, superb food and our waitress Malida was friendly, polite and super friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great quality food and a great friendly driver! Will definitely recommend and use again 😘

l live in Paignton and ordered from Junjaow in Torquay because of the fab quality of the food and the great service.

From the moment you walk through the door, there's a warm welcome from all staff, even the chefs and cooks say hello. The decor is stunning, warm and stylish. Lots of tables. And last but not least, the food, it's absolutely incredible! Our favourite dining restaurant. Always fresh ingredients, wonderful flavours, cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced too. Try it, you won't regret it. Just a side note, we were there Thursday 21st March for my husband's birthday, and without me asking, they bought out a lovely little cake, singing 'happy birthday', which was a good end to the night. Thank you JunJaow 🙏

Came in for first time on off chance . Lovely food great portions , sar n3xt to window by door but would suggest a platter for 2 x Other then that fabulous

Lovely food, on time, still warm. Great delivery driver too!

Lovely clean spacious restaurant. Great service and lovely tasty food. 😋 definitely recommended. Also cater for gluten free ! Great team of staff who work well together. Keep up the good work x

excellent quality just the right heat and the duck rolls are sumptuous

Great food only down point was the crispy beef was soggy otherwise lovely

Tom Yum Soup was delicious, but the pad Thai and pad kra paow only had a tiny amount of chicken in it. Delivery took over an hour.

Amazing Thai food in the heart of Torquay. It’s not easy to find a restaurant like this in town. Prices are reasonable and the quality of the ingredients is just outstanding. It deserves a visit!

The best Pad Thai I've ever eaten, and I've tried it in many places. Very good service, delicious food. A perfect place to spend time with family or friends.

We usual order from another Thai in Torquay thought we’d try here for a change. Food was terrible, we put in our usual choices and they were tasteless and the beef was inedible. The food was also late. Definitely will not be ordering from here again !

Delicious food, best in Torquay

I ordered prawn creamy soup got chicken soup pad thai was ok quite plain same as the soup

Lovely friendly service and really tasty authentic Thai food with lots of variety! Add in Singha on tap and for two hours you are transported back to the motherland! Loved it ! 😻

Very nice food. Unfortunately was barely warm & had to reheat. Delivery charge though only live 100 yards from restaurant.

Good food and great value for the money

Amazing Thai food. Staff were so friendly and food came quickly and was really tasty. Would recommend the starter sharer platter and the penang curry. Will definitely be back next time we are in torquay.

Best Thai I have had in a long time!!!!! Will definitely order again.

Ordered coconut rice, delivered regular.

Still not arrived. I want a full refund

Ordered 2 x beef masamans…. 2 chicken turned up (which my wife doesn’t eat) They have not replied or refunded…. Only came here as Torquay Thai was closed… I’d heard bad things about this place before and I can see why… knock out anything they want to their customers and then refuse to answer/refund

Probably one of the best Thai restaurants around. The food tasted authentic and was ever so rich in flavour. Staff were accommodating and the atmosphere was great.

Food, staff and atmosphere was wonderful.

Had my birthday here with 10 other people. Great food and hosting by staff. Unfortunately due to there being 11 of us we had to pre order. Personally I like to order on the day as my mood changes what I fancy

Chose this restaurant for my Birthday meal while staying in Torquay for a few days and what a wonderful choice it was Everything was amazing , the food was excellant and all the girls were wonderful , so friendly and efficient. The open plan kitchen was a joy to watch as they turned out one delicious meal after another Thank you for a perfect Birthday celebration my only regret is that we don't live closer so that I could work my way through the lovely menu

Haven’t ordered from here in a long time, thought I would treat myself… wasn’t disappointed. Lovely

Delightful staff and flavorful food. Would come back again.

Do not recommend at all food was well below average, the duck inside my duck rolls were mainly uncooked bits of fat very nasty

Food was okay and service good.portions small and a bit over priced.not complaining as people have to earn a living.will go back.😄

Tasteless food. Really disappointing. Far better Thai options available elsewhere. Tried once, and never again.

I’m not a fan of their food. Sorry it’s not authentic , greasy and lacks flavours to be balanced. Won’t be ordering again.

Absolutely awful and terrible experience. ZERO stars! I've never in my life felt threatened by any restaurant staff/owners in all the years I've dined out across the world. My crime was to ask a question about the food I had been served, seems simple right when dining in a restaurant where you may have allergies, etc. I was met with aggression and threats by a male and female. I am a woman who was dining with two children and a pensioner. The most disturbing experience in a restaurant that I've ever had. The male member of staff even attempted to assault a 12 year old child who was recording his behaviour. Eat here if you wish but don't ask any questions about what you're being served as those people are unhinged. Yes, I shouted at you all to call the police after staff had threatened to do so. I'd done nothing wrong so was not concerned about the police lol. Why would anyone try to orchastrate being treated so disgustingly. So nonsensical and unhinged. My son was terrified as his Mum was being harassed by a man. He did not have the camera even close to anyone when he was pushed, as you said, it is indeed captured on camera. I left swiftly as you were brazen enough to assult a child so what else are you capable of!? You are disgusting liars but all the best with your little business.

A large group (around 20) of us went here for a post-work meal midweek and had a lovely evening - we pre-ordered our food which made things very quick and efficient. The food was all made fresh to order, it was outstanding. The desserts were also spot on. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Ordered some noodles and a kids meal to reach the minimum order. Junjaow noodles were nice but a bit greasy. Chips were lovely and the prawns were great. First time ordering. It was nice :)

Lovely service , good food , atmosphere I can imagine would be good but not on a Thursday early evening . Very Attentive staff .

Yum. Really tasty food would highly recommend

Great place. Good prices and lovely service. Good selection. Would go again and recommend!

Ordered a number of items for collection and was so genuinely impressed with the speed and quality of the food. The massaman curry was delicious and flavorful, the spring rolls were hot, crunchy and fresh and we even got some free prawn crackers! 100% would recommend as a highly quality Thai in Torquay.

Amazing food and customer service

Was really dry ineadable couldn't contact restaurant

Always delicious food and courteous service.

Absolutely awful food, delivered late, barely eaten and in the bin with kids still hungry. Wouldn't order again or recommend.

Our first visit here. A great place with amazing staff and food.

Amazing food and great service.

Really nice staff and really nice food.

Great food, wide choice, good for veggies, great service, all good except the background music, which had a singer who was a little nasal and annoying. Background music for dining needs to be less intrusive.

Being semi retired and living much of my time in Thailand I like to think I know Thai food .. and this food was good.... Very good .. over the moon in fact! Put it on your food radar!

Always fresh and full of flavour. It’s my favourite takeaway in Torquay.

Wow. Amazing food! Great service and nice restaurant too. I can highly recommend spicy fried rice, but everything was nice really. 5/5

Wonderful delicious Thai food served with a smile 😊 Glad we booked in to here during our few days break. A nice simple menu with a great range of dishes. I very much enjoyed the pork balls followed by a jungle curry with coconut rice. Washed down with a refreshing Singha beer. What more could you ask for! Staff were really friendly and welcoming Be sure to book, it was a shame so many drop ins had to be turned away through lack of tables.

This is the best restaurant i’ve been to in a very long time, the service was 10/10 and the food was amazing, thank you all for making our evening so special

Thai delivery from Junjaow is fantastic, great flavours, good quality and value for money,.and arrives on time.
