Jun Jaow in Torbay

Food was of a high quality. Thoroughly delicious. Mindy was such a good hostess and very attentive with a lovely smiley face 😊 The young Polish man (sorry we did not get your name) was very pleasant and helped look after us. We’ll be back again soon!

A lovely authentic restaurant to celebrate my husband’s 40th. So inviting and the food was spot on. They catered so well to young children too.

We found this little gem whilst we were having a stop over at the premier inn. We decided to give it a go as it was raining and we didn't want to walk far! We are so glad that we did! My husband has traveled to Thailand and is usually quite fussy with where we go to eat for Thai food, but gosh this did not disappoint, the service was outstanding, as was the food and the wine, we shall be back when we are next in the area!

Food fantastic. Mindy was a great host. Would recommend 100%. The pad Thai was lovely and they put the spice on the side for my Mrs because she has a milder palette.

The most amazing food and amazing service, Malida and all staff are absolutely fabulous, so attentive and kind. Food is first rate, will be back very soon

Great service by Malida and the entire staff. Very welcoming and the food was fantastic, lot of choice on the menu and well explained when asked. Thanks so much.

We really enjoyed our meal here. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. Lovely flavours, nice and hot and perfectly cooked. We will definitely visit the restaurant if we return to the area.

Food was lovely (recommend the special rice) , staff were great. Especially thank you to Malida who was friendly and helpful!

This was our first visit to Jan Jaow and wont be our last. Extensive menu offering many choices of Thai food. The portions where generous and freshly cooked. Great atmosphere & great service from all the staff, a shout out to Malida. We will be back when we are next in Torquay

In summary a great restaurant. Went for dinner as a family group of four. Very attentive and friendly serving staff. Food was lovely. Had three courses and coffee to finish and everything served was very tasty. Was busy towards the end but service was still fine and restaurant was not too noisy.

Excellent service, food tasty,well presented,excellent experience reasonably priced, value for money, would definitely go again and recommend to anyone

Amazing food every time I go in there! The different flavours and spices are superb, along with the great atmosphere which the staff create.

We ordered a large takeaway order just before 10pm on a Saturday night, normally I would expect to be met with some form of annoyance or frustration ordering so close to closing time, but we were instead met with a friendly, helpful lady full of laughter and joy - we could pick up our order in 20 minutes. Upon collecting the team came over to say hello, I was even offered some Thai beers to try by the manager and it was a delight to meet the lovely lady on the phone. The food was 11/10, absolutely delicious. We had all sorts of curries, noodle dishes, starters and there was not a single negative comment, in fact we were sat in silence for the majority of the meal as were so happy! I could not recommend this restaurant more if I tried - thank you

Superb food with excellent service from Malida. We had chicken Massaman with egg fried rice and it was delicious! Thanks for looking after us, we will be back! :)

A good choice for something a little different in the land of fish, chips and ice cream. Good choice of decent Thai cuisine, including the usual curries. An unusually long dessert menu caught the eye too! Lilly's service was spot-on, but all staff were great, including the cheery wave from staff in the open-plan kitchen on arrival and leaving.

We were greeted by very friendly staff who have been helpful throughout the whole time that we stayed. The food was outstanding, it is nice to have a choice of meats for the currys and noodle dishes, as well as the choice of level of spice. Amazing variety of spirits and wines. Everything in the restaurant is spotless and clean, even the toilets. Very warming atmosphere that sends you straight to Thailand!

What a lovely place. Really friendly staff. And the food was cooked to perfection. We had a really good meal. The heat levels were spot on we had one of each and all were very happy. The hot had a nice kick to it but did not overpower the flavours. We will be returning

The restaurant has a true family feel. The menus offers lots of choice, everyone’s food was excellent and the service good and attentive. The owners are really friendly and we had a lovely evening.

We had an excellent meal in this restaurant and can highly recommend it. Fresh, authentic cuisine with wonderful ingredients. Live cooking in the restaurant where you can convince yourself of the good quality. The waitresses, especially Malida, are super friendly and competent and also cater to food requests. The chef of the restaurant impressed us with his concept. The prices are reasonable and fair. Wir haben in diesem Restaurant hervorragend gegessen und können es bestens empfehlen. Frische authentische Küche mit wunderbaren Zutaten. Live cooking im Restaurant bei dem man sich von der guten Qualität überzeugen kann. Die Kellnerinnen, vor allem Malida sind superfreundlich und kompetent und gehen auch auf Essenwünsche ein. Der Chef des Lokals hat uns mit seinem Konzept überzeugt. Die Preise sind angemessen und fair.

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.

Lovely restaurant the decor is great and lovely lighting. Food was really good no faults at all. Service was good and the timing good. We all had a mixed selection fir starters and very reasonably prices. Would suggest booking as restaurant was full.

We were served by Lilly on the last night of our short break. The food was excellent, Lilly was charming, pleasant and helpful. A fabulous experience after the bland food at our hotel ("chef" no idea about seasoning, spices, nutrition or protein, let alone vegan...

A lovely restaurant in the heart of Torquay. Our waitress Malida was really great. Menu had good choices for all including vegan and gluten free options. The food and atmosphere were perfect. We will definitely return for a special event.

Absolutely delicious authentic Thai food, using high quality fresh ingredients. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was perfect. Great decor too! Highly recommended.

Highly recommended, the food is sensational. Malida was very friendly, attentive and made us feel very welcome. If you want Thai food, look no further. Dave and Sally

Amazing experience as always. The food is just wonderful, the green curry is one of my favourite ( especially with a coconut rice ) . Toya was super welcoming and talkative . Without any doubt it is the best place to eat in Torquay. Thank...

Very friendly welcoming restaurant. Very cheerful vibrant decor. Kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant so you can see food being made. Great that they accommodate for all tastes asking how hot / spicy you would like your food choices. Food was really tasty...

Great food and service in a nice atmosphere, Our second visit and the layout of the restaurant with the open kitchen does feel like being in Thailand again. Food arrives fast, so leave a gap between starter and main.

Excellent service from Alex. I am very indecisive and there was a LOT of choice on the menu, but she helped me choose the most delicious dishes. We had the green curry, goong chu che, and the special fried rice. Duck was exceptionally soft and...

Spotted Jun Jaow whilst walking down the road to the harbour front & thought we should try it. Very glad we did. The food was excellent as was the service. The open plan kitchen is a great addition also. Very authentic menu choices & super...

Visited with 3 young children, the staff were amazing, really attentive and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be returning.

We really enjoyed the food and the service. Both were exceptional. Lilly looked after us very well. I would say the food is some of the best Thai food I have ever had.

When visiting Torquay, my friends and I came across this Thai restaurant and decided to give it a go. Next time we're down in Torquay, we'll definitely pay Junjoaw a visit again: excellent food and just as good service. Many thanks to the entire Junjoaw...

Delicious food, we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The staff were so hard working and lovely, it’s a thriving restaurant with a good atmosphere, loved it and will go back.

The food was amazing Nicest Thai food I’ve had in a long time Staff are really friendly & accommodating Open kitchen, so you can see the food being cooked Very reasonable prices

Friday 29th March 2024, A party of four ate at the restaurant last evening, great to see the kitchen was open and visible to the diners, the service was excellent and friendly and the food was truly superb and very tasty, we will certainly return.

Super tasty Thai food. Very authentic and a great menu. Staff were very attentive. Highly recommend visiting but do book in advance!

March 23 We stumbled on this amazing restuarant , while looking for somewhere to eat for dinner . A very welcoming place . Staff were friendly and helpful . Especially Alex . She recommended the starter sharing platter for 2 . It was amazing and...

Authentic Thai cuisine in Torquay. Food was really tasty, service was excellent & can’t fault anything. Would definitely recommend a visit

We visited for my Dads 50th birthday - one of his favourite restaurants! The food was beautiful, the staff were very accommodating and they even surprised us with a dessert at the end of the meal. Everyone had a lovely time. Can’t wait to go...

Been here several times and the atmosphere, food and service is always incredible. Our waitress Malida was brilliant. Our favourite restaurant in Torquay.

Jun Jaow is a lovely relaxed place to eat. Food is freshly prepared in the open kitchen by a team of very accomplished ladies. Service is swift and smiley. A delicious first visit that we hope will be followed by many more. Thank you.

Really friendly, great service and super food. Plenty of options for veggie and meat eaters with attention to how spicy you like your food. The kitchen is open plan and run by a team of brilliant ladies so what’s not to like. The food and...

The welcome to Jun Jaow was warm and pleasant, the staff were attentive and the atmosphere made it feel less like Torquay and more like a foreign experience. The food though... well that was incredible and took me 5000 miles around the world. The Red...

Lovely service and excellent food. Great with young families. Lillie was our server and was very attentive and kind.

Enjoyed our dinner and felt is was reasonably authentic Thai. The Thai fish cakes were lovely, not enough sauce with the satay and our mains were good. Wine and food all reasonably priced.

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...

This is one of the best restaurants in Torquay - if you enjoy Thai food there is simply nowhere better! We have visited Jun Jaow over ten times since they moved into their new premises, just up the road from where they used to be. We have never been disappointed with the food, service or ambiance. Everyone who works there have smiles on their faces and nothing is ever too much to ask for. Seeing (and smelling!) the food as its prepared in the integral kitchen in the middle of the restaurant somehow adds to the vibrant atmosphere too! None of the chefs or waiting staff ever look stressed yet the food comes out beautifully cooked and presented time after time. The restaurant is always full, so they clearly have found a way to achieve 'poetry in motion'! The restaurant itself is really well decorated and dressed, its absolutely lovely. You don't feel like they've tried to squeeze extra tables in either, so it feels special. Well done Jun Jaow - we'll be back again very soon!

Not our first visit, nor will it be our last. Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. What more could you want other than great value and there’s that too. Thanks to Lilly who looked after us so we’ll.

We stumbled upon this great authentic Thai restaurant and it did not disappoint! The food from start to finish was very fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back again. 10/10!

Fantastic evening superb food & great service thanks to all staff especially Lilly & Damian. This are 3rd visit many more to come

Outstanding. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. Service was fantastic, from start with friendly greeting on entry to the end where staff and chefs thanked us for visiting. Would highly recommend and very much looking forward to next visit… Thank you.

Went here for a business evening with another collegue. Had a pork ball starter that was overcooked, but ate it anyway, was just ordinary. Then the main meal was served, I had only just started mine when I found a long hair in it, I immediately stopped eating ANY food and eventually managed to get someones attention, and told them and showed then the hair in my food, he then went away, leaving the food there on the table for about another 15 minutes, he eventually came and took it away, no other food was offered, no dessert menu was offered either, nor coffee. Someone then came and said they had the bill and they had taken 10% of for the hair in my food, I informed them that that was not acceptable, and I certainly was not going to pay for something I had not eaten. After a lengthy wait they eventually came back with a revised bill where they had taken of the hairy food. Miserable staff, shocking food, bad service, would I go back... NEVER!

I would not ordinarily describe myself as a lover of Thai food but, having succumbed to my Thai food-loving husband’s persuasion, I was bowled over by my introduction to Jun Jaow and I have enjoyed several meals since. This family run restaurant has a buzzing ambience with views into the kitchen where the flaming woks provide a great sense of ‘theatre’. Chef/co-Owner Fon’s busy team deliver an extensive Thai menu using fresh, authentic ingredients and the experience is complimented by Servers dressed in beautiful Thai clothing. The drinks selection includes beers and wines from the region - as well as Jun Jaow’s own ‘Full Moon Gin’ infused with mango and coconut. The menu includes no less than 18 starters (!) as well as a wide variety of traditional stir fry and noodle dishes. Their Pad Thai is one of the best we’ve eaten (including in Thailand according to my well-travelled husband). His seafood was cooked to perfection. Various curries can all be cooked to your preference of mild, medium or hot and 4 of these curries can be vegan on request. If, like me, you’re not a lover of the widely used peppers in Thai cuisine, go for the Vegetable (or Tofu) Massaman Curry both of which were superior to any Massaman I’ve eaten elsewhere. Coconut Rice was the perfect accompaniment although there were half a dozen other rice or noodle side options from which to choose. Jun Jaow’s Special Dishes include a Sea Bass, flour-dusted and deep fried, topped with their own creamy curry sauce. It is exceptional.

Best Thai restaurant in Devon! Amazing food, super friendly staff and great interior. I would recommend to all my friends!

Great restaurant and brilliant staff, friendly and very attentive. Thai food was superb and we had a great time. The starter platter was very good and the main courses authentic and presented exactly in line with our request. Lovely restaurant setting and well worth the visit. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning setting, stunning food, spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend, 1st time I have been to new location, his did not disappoint

The staff was friendly, food was not bad, only disappointed with the scallops. It was way too much onion on it, and it just ruined the dish. Duck on the specials was delicious, but you do need an extra rice 🍚 on the side. Thai...

Excellent food and excellent service. Would highly recommend a visit if you are here. Please try the beef masssam it’s out of this world. And they also sell Chang!

Got a takeaway from here, sadly it really wasn’t very good. Asked for Thai prawn crackers, got some stale and strangely coloured what we would usually consider to be Chinese prawn crackers. Crispy beef starter was completely tasteless. Pad Kra Pow mains were disappointing -...

Great food and staff are very attentive, recommended for a great evening meal with friends or family. Open kitchen so you can see your food being made right in front of your eyes

Superb food in very pleasant surroundings, Attentive staff. Hard to fault and would highly reccommend.

Just passing and popped in, so glad we did, was welcomed by a lovely young lady taken to a table and offered drinks. Food was plentiful and delicious.

We visited with a group of 20 for a work dinner. The team looked after so well, all the food came out quickly and was fantastic.
