Kats Oriental Cuisine in St Albans

Kat's Cuisine has very quickly become our family's favourite takeaway by far. If you've never visited Thailand, you've not had thai food this fresh and amazing. Authentic, zingy, perfectly balanced brilliant thai food, with friendliness and service (no request too much!) to match, thanks Alan & Kat, just AMAZING, again. Everything's freshly made from scratch and it's all fantastic, but the lamb massaman, red/green curry, pad horpa aubergine and pad thai are really incredible. The mango sticky rice is just sublime to finish. Kids love the (non-spicy) crispy chicken pieces and chicken pad thai too. Book a delivery slot or order for collection early, they get busy for a damn good reason and don't forget the brilliant spring rolls! If you've not ordered from Kat's before, this will be your first of MANY, I promise 👍

Amazing food, lovely people - been looking for good Thai food in St Albans for 2 years - so glad I’ve found these guys!

Gorgeous food! Our first time ordering. We had a planned date night for the first time in months, childcare arranged and the evening booked off work. Unfortunately a poorly daughter meant plans changed. So a date night at home it is, we stumbled across Kat on google and the reviews were outstanding. We had to try. The food is absolutely gorgeous. We had the mixed sharer platter for 2, Massaman curry and red Thai duck curry. Such a refreshing meal. My partner felt welcomed at the address by a lovely gentleman. Thank you Kat 😊

Our go to for Asian/oriental food in St Albans. Authentic flavours, always fresh ingredients and friendly service and delivery too. Miles ahead of the rest.

Absolutely delicious!! I have recently moved into the area and found Kat - so glad I did. Emailed my order on Thursday evening for a Friday evening collection. All meals and starters were flavoursome, authentic and fresh. Definitely not my last time ordering from Kat and her husband, who were both very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful meal!

The food was amazing and fresh fast delivery will order again highly recommend

We had an absolutely amazing food tonight. The spicy sea bass was delicious and full of flavour. Our favourites red curry and chicken pad thai were as good as always but the real winner was the prawn soup. It was just incredible tasty. Packed with ginger, lemon grass and herbs it was a real treat, thanks Kat x

The most amazing Thai food around.

We had our first takeaway last night and loved it! We will certainly be repeat customers! Thank you!

Quite nice food and great Service. The best thing is the atmosphere

Awesome food you will come back for again and again!

The best and authentic Thai food I could ever have! Spice Steamed Sea bass is delicious and cooked with so much passion and fresh ingredients. I strongly recommend.

In the space of three years Kats Oriental Cuisine has grown from a fledgling business opened during the pandemic, to St Albans award winning best takeaway 2023. Kat is simply a superb talent who really understands the art of creating delicious tasting food.

Great food, fantastic service, not a lot more to say other than thank you for catering for 21 of us…..🙏🏼

We used Kat for a birthday party and they certainly delivered! Very accommodating with all our requests dietary requirements and general fussiness! Food was hot, fresh and authentic. Can’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic food. We always get Thai from Kat's kitchen. Very tasty, vegetarian and vegan food available. She makes it with fresh ingredients and such yummy food. Best Thai in St Albans. Best if ordered before 6 pm. She is very busy and makes limited portions per day.

Almost certainly the best Thai food I've had (dining in or taking out). Fresh, delicious, clearly home-made, a real eye for detail. Would absolutely recommend. Charming service from Alan on the doorstep too

Brilliant vegan menu - Kat went the extra mile for my birthday. Amazing flavours of pad thai and spice was on point. Customer service and delivery fantastic. Definitely recommend!

Got a takeaway tonight to celebrate a birthday and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything ordered was 10/10, particularly the papaya salad and cashew chicken stir fry. Best meal in town

incredible Thai food takeaway. What a treat . Thank you

Recently had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary wonders of Kats Oriental Cuisine, a wonderful Thai takeaway restaurant. As a seasoned traveler who has explored the vibrant food scene of Thailand and dined at renowned establishments, I can confidently say that the flavors offered by Kats Oriental Cuisine rival those of the best. Let's start with the standout dish that stole the show—pineapple rice. Having savored this dish in Thailand, I held high expectations. However, Kats Oriental Cuisine surpassed them all. Their pineapple rice was an absolute triumph, boasting a harmonious blend of flavors that transported me back to the streets of Bangkok. The fragrant rice, combined with succulent pineapple and a delightful assortment of vegetables, created a dish that was truly a masterpiece. Another highlight from Kats Oriental Cuisine is their pad Thai. This classic Thai dish is often considered a benchmark of quality, and Kats Oriental Cuisine more than excels in this regard. The pad Thai they serve is a delectable medley of perfectly cooked noodles, fresh ingredients, and a symphony of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Each bite provided a burst of culinary delight, leaving me craving more. The mixed starters offered by Kats Oriental Cuisine were a testament to the skill and dedication of their chefs. Handmade with love and crafted with precision, these appetizers were a true delight. The spices used in the mixed starters were reminiscent of a dream, adding depth and complexity to every mouthful. From crispy spring rolls to the delightful prawn on toast, each bite showcased the authentic flavors of Thailand. Despite being a takeaway restaurant, Kats Oriental Cuisine goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The staff members are friendly, accommodating, and take pride in delivering exceptional service. In conclusion, Kats Oriental Cuisine is a hidden gem that delivers an extraordinary Thai culinary experience through their takeaway service. From the heavenly pineapple rice to the mouthwatering pad Thai and the sensational mixed starters, every dish is a testament to the expertise and passion of the chefs. If you're looking for an unforgettable taste of Thailand in the comfort of your own home, look no further than Kats Oriental Cuisine. Your taste buds will thank you.

Best Thai food in St Albans by far! Wonderful independent family-run operation. Will be ordering again!

Absolutely stunning, by far the best Thai I've had. Will continue to order from Kats. My only issue is I travel a lot up and down the country so won't be able to order as much as I'd like. The food was so delicious. I'm tempted to order again tonight. They were so generous as I'd not ordered the spring rolls (which were exceptional) they offered them free for me to experience and what an experience they were. Very professional and polite. Thank you

Kats cuisine provided outstanding food for our dinner party. We placed the order the day before and the communication was easy and a pleasure. Despite having placed an order for eight people, all of our dietary needs were met. I have to say the Singapore noodles were the best I have ever tasted. The portions were perfectly sized and we had food left over which always makes me very happy the next day. The quality of ingredients were really good also. We had vegans, vegetarians, people who can’t handle spice among others, and everyone was really happy with their food. We will definitely order from here again.

Simply fantastic! Best Thai food in England, really enjoyed it.

Food is always incredible, really fresh and amazing flavours. Ordering and delivery so friendly too - great set up!

Excellent, authentic, fresh and extremely tasty. Really easy to order (I did it by WhatsApp) and all ready for collection on time. Was even kindly given a lift home as it suddenly poured with rain! Loved it.

This might just be the best Thai takeaway outside of Thailand - we placed an order via Deliveroo, and didn't include Jasmine Rice in the order, and they bought us two portions on the house! Excellent service aside, the true star is the food itself - everything tastes authentic and perfectly made. There's no excessive grease, the spice level is spot on and the ingredients are fresh and vibrant. Even the spring rolls, which so often from other takeaways are just bought from a supplier, but you here you can taste that Kat makes them freshly. My wife is vegetarian, and she was excited to try the vegan options, and she was just as impressed. We'll definitely be ordering from here again for Thai food!

Great quality authentic Thai food can't recommend Kat's Oriental Cuisine highly enough.

Great service from beginning to end accompanied by lovely food. Everything tastes great and the kids meals were generous portions and went down well. Thank you.

Brilliant - that's all. Kat and Alan catered for our party of 80 people at an outside venue and absolutely everyone raved about the food! Great communication, easy to work with - and they even boxed up and delivered the leftovers! Can't recommend highly enough.

Beautiful food and excellent delivery. Love Jar’s Tim Yum soup and chicken and chip ! 👍

Fabulous food and service, Kat’s just has to be the best around. Never fails to be tasty and perfectly spiced with chilli 🌶️ 😍

Amazing food, lovely service and people. Will definitely be ordering again soon.

Absolutely wonderful! By far and away the best Thai food in St Albans. Beautiful flavours, perfectly balanced, lovely fresh ingredients. Don't miss the duck spring rolls! But it's all good ☺️

Fresh, delicious, and authentic! We ordered on a whim late on a Saturday night after getting the menu in the post, and we were not disappointed. The food was super fresh and flavourful with great portion sizes. The service was friendly and we couldn’t ask for a better dinner. Definitely recommend and will be ordering again!

Delicious! High quality ingredients. Really friendly service. Great price.

I am very grateful for the delicious and authentic food Kat makes. It is personally a takeaway experience where every penny is worth paying for. Local and cooked with a lot of love. I've met Kat and Alan who really work hard for their business. It has helped on many days when I've been too unwell to cook good food. My favourites are the stir fried aubergine, Singaporean noodles and... the entire menu... Oh and the vegan section is amazing too if you're keeping it plant-based :) Thank you Kats Cuisine for always keeping high quality to your food. <3

Best Thai food outside of Thailand - so authentic & so much flavour. Great portion sizes. Also catered very well for allergies. Thank you, we will be ordering again! :)

Amazing food, customer service and experience - what more could you want? Highly recommended.

Recommended by a neighbour, and they weren't wrong! Friendly service, beautifully cooked, fragrant & delicious Thai food made with fantastic fresh ingredients. Also gluten free and vegetarian options available. Can’t recommend this food enough, will be using again, many thanks !

The food is cooked perfectly - the vegetables are tender yet still have a little bite, the flavours are authentic and the produce is really fresh. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Delivery was on time too. Must try - highly recommended.

Sorry, no photos as ate the food before I could take any. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable from ordering to delivery. The fish cakes were seriously good, spring rolls tasty, pad Thai authentic and masemmam curry full of flavour. The little dips & sauces you get are winners, adding a real depth of sweet/sour/pickle/peanut to the dishes. I ordered enough, but couldn't eat it so the bestvthing is I (we) get to eat again tomorrow. Thank you Kat and Alan

Highly recommended. Tastes so fresh and well-balanced, genuine home cooking. Our chicken satay, tom yum, pad thai and Singapore noodles were all excellent, generous portions, delivered exactly when they said and super-friendly.

Absolutely wonderful freshly cooked food good value for money - we run our own dining company and so know good food and service when we encounter it. This is where we look to for authentic Thai.

The most authentic and delicious Thai food I've ever had in the uk! Picked up my call quickly and order's ready in 30 mins! Fish cakes are so good the texture is proper Thai fish cake which is a bit "bouncy", prawn tom yum soup is rich and has a lot of prawns and mushrooms in it, spicy chicken fried rice and tofu pad Thai are rich in flavour and in good portion. Kats makes high quality food and we are so happy tonight!! ;D

We had 4 different dishes and coconut rice. All the food was beautifully aromatic, fresh and delicious. Portions were generous. A really super meal. We would recommend it!

Wow - the real deal. Amazing flavour. Well recommended. Thank you for a fabulous Thai meal to the door.

We ordered my husband's favourite Masasaman Curry, Coconut Rice and for me me Seafood Pad Horapa and Pad Thai Noodles from Kat. Both my husband and I are not easy to please and lovers of Thai food which is one of our favourite cuisines. What can I say? Absolutely delicious. The vegetables were fresh and crisp, just how I like them, the Seafood cooked to perfection and my husband said it was the best Masssaman curry he's ever had and he's had quite a few. From one fellow caterer to another, hat's off to you Kat. Amazing. We'll definitely be ordering again.

We had Larb kai, Papaya Salad, Stir fry with cashew nuts/chicken, Pad Horapa/beef and 4 mixed rice. Very delicious!! We enjoy the food with a glass of Pinot Grigio.

Just come back from a short stay in St Albans where we had a meal from Kat and Alan. It was gorgeous- cooked fresh with great ingredients. Not gloopy, over salted or sugared- just authentic, tasty, well cooked food, by Kat, and great service from Alan. Pre-order - they're popular!

What a find, I’m from Devon and visiting a St Albans friend, and absolutely delighted with the quality of Kat’s cooking. Food like you can’t get unless you know a Thai cook - fresh and spicy and just delicious. The real deal - nothing like a takeaway or even a restaurant, Kat makes her food from scratch with fresh ingredients and I recommend you fill your boots before she puts her prices up. Five stars all day. Thanks for a delicious dinner Kat, if you lived in Honiton I’d keep you busy!

I lived in Thailand for almost 4 years and I speak with confidence that this is the most authentic, and most delicious Thai food in St Albans.

Delicious and very fresh! Highly recommend - you can literally taste the freshness of Kats food. Always arrives hot. A must try.. the best around!

The best home cooked Thai food around! So fresh and delicious! And they keep adding great new dishes to try. Cannot recommend this enough!

All I can say is that Kat’s food is amazing plus of course that the kid loves the chicken too!

Wow!!!! fantastic fresh authentic delicious food. Very friendly service too.

Best oriental food around without a doubt 🙌🏽

The best Thai food in town. The food was authentic and absolutely delicious! The owner is a super generous and lovable lady. They have many choices from the menu. Pad Thai is my must have item every time I ordered from Kats and I'm deep in love with their Chicken Mango Salad.The quality of the food was excellent and I am a Thai food lover who have tried plenty, Highly recommended Thai food!

A hidden gem in St Albans for Thai food. Very authentic home cooked dishes by a lovely, generous and friendly family. Fresh and quality ingredients used, food packed with so much care and hot when arrived. Every dish is always flavourful and amazing taste. Excellent service from Kat and Alan. Highly recommend!!
