Khao Thai Eatery in Preston

This restaurant is a really lovely little find. Not only is the food delicious and fresh but the people are lovely too. We had the sharing platter to start and then I had Pad Thai whilst my partner had a sweet and sour beef dish with jasmine rice. All very flavoursome and washed down with Chang beer. We would definitely return.

Great little Thai eatery, felt like being back in Thailand. Staff were lovely and the food was exceptional. Our second visit here, quiet on a Thursday evening.

Omg, fresh food cooked and lovely even on a quiet day

Really tasty, and perfectly cooked. Only had one dish but was great will definitely come back.

Went with husband at seven, quite busy, so booking is recommended. Leo bottled beer was as good as we remembered from Thailand, as was the food. Great service, so would highly recommend this little gem, albeit in a slightly dodgy area of Preston.

Nice food.... The waitress was friendly and informative. The location of this place leaves a little to be desired.... a little off the Main drag of Preston centre, and a bit dirty, but that didn't stop the place being packed at 6pm! Good selection of dishes.... I would have liked the option of a shared banquet so we can sample more... £75 for 2 people with 2 cokes each.

Tried the place out because it was open on a Monday unlike most other places. Food was absolutely delicious and was authentic Thai food (except for the spice). Could not recommend more and will definitely be coming again!! I had the gra pow (my favourite Thai dish from my days there) and although the spice level was nowhere near what you would get in Thailand it is perfect for English people.

Fantastic food and service definitely recommended!!

Had a late lunch here on Friday, the food was fantastic, the service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back soon.

Lovely good and service. Will return...

Called in with a friend for a quiet dinner. Honestly was really impressed. The restaurant had such a lovely atmosphere and was clean. The staff were super friendly and the food! Wow the food was lush! Not too spicy but full of flavour, just the way I like it. Would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic food, up there with the best Thai food I have had in the UK. Friendly atmosphere and attentive service. A little gem in a not so nice part of Preston but don't let that put you off. I will definitely go again. Our group of 4 said all the same.

Some of the best Thai food we have eaten (both in the UK & Thailand). Friendly efficient service and a warm atmosphere. Well worth a visit. We’ll be back.

Awesome Thai food in the heart of Preston.

AVOID!!! Seriously disgusting service. The male cant speak English. The female owner is bluntly rude and has no manners to speak to customers. Make the atmosphere hostile. No way to communicate with them. Go to other Thai places unless you can speak Thai and are okay be be humiliated.

Unexpected gem in an otherwise depressed City. Great food, fantastic service with a smile.

Delicious food, well made and tasty

Our first visit after a recommendation and definitely won’t be our last. Starters, main and dessert all 10/10. Lovely service from a lovely lady.

Delicious Thai food and excellent service. It was a quiet lunch but I hope more people find this wonderful place and enjoy some authentic Thai food

Amazing food and service! Best Thai in Preston! Was a little loud but food more than made up for it. Will be coming back soon.

Absolutely delicious and delivered in great time.

Amazing meal .Food absolutely delicious .Best Thai in area .A little noisy as large party in but can’t fault the service or food .Highly recommended

Had the pad Thai. Was good. Tried something I had never tried before, milk green tea. Was amazing.

Delicious, fresh food with incredible flavours! Fantastic, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Great Thai restaurant Definitely one of the best around.

Wonderful restaurant. Food is delicious and taste authentic Thai. The service is great. I didn't take pictures of the food, forgot.

Incredible experience, just like being in Thailand! Lovely atmosphere and quick friendly service. The food was amazing! The pictures don't do it justice, so much flavour! Had a lovely chat with the owner of the restaurant after our meal and exchanged life stories and similar places we had visited and stayed in Thailand. We work down in the area roughly once a month, so we will be visiting here on our next visit! Get booked up and give it a try. It's definitely the best Thai restaurant I have had in the uk, and we have been to a lot!

nowhere near enough rice for the price, the curry was 10/10 though

Food was really taste but the portion size on the chicken wings doesn't really warrant the price tag but overall it was good.

I think this Thai restaurant really deserves five stars. You can taste the authentic Thai flavor at a reasonable price. I would say it is even better than other thai restaurants in some big cities. Great! I will come back again.

Amazing food very tasty . Superb service staff. Excellent ingredients used, high quality food. Very clean and tidy restaurant, very nice ambience.

Incredible value lunchtime special. I had chicken thai green curry, rice and a drink £8.50 wow. I'm not very brave with my food so was apprehensive but wow, lovely food and the waiter was a lovely gentleman. Looking forward to taking my wife.

Excellent friendly small restaurant. Having walked past it a few times I decided to book a table for 2 on a Saturday evening. First impressions was a warm greeting and we were seated immediately. It’s very clean and felt cosy. The choice of food is good and the prices very reasonable. We had a mixed starter to try out everything and it was very tasty. Mains was a green curry and a duck dish with taramin sauce. Both excellent and so fresh ! All the staff were so efficient and we will definitely be returning.

Great food, beautiful family with great customer service. Thank you for a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic .. first time visit but will definitely be back soon..

First time ordering from here. It was delish! Definitely would recommend

Food was good the bankok gra pow dish didn't include rice Tom Kha soup had about 5 slices of chicken flavors good over priced for what we got

Incredible thai food! The staff were super kind and welcoming. Interior is pretty. Nice thai music in the background. Highly recommend. It gets busy so make sure you make a reservation.

Excellent service and food, highly recommended.

As a vegetarian I often struggle finding good Thai places which do not use fish sauces in their veg dishes especially Tom yum soup. This place is amazing for their quality of food and portion size as well. And what a genius idea of adding beans and lentils to their vege dishes. Not only increases the nutritive value (hello protein) but tastes amazing as well. I loved the food!! Highly recommended👍🏽👍🏽

Great food, excellent choice and the staff are extremely friendly.

Had a great meal at the Khao Thai eatery. The Waitress was very helpful as this was my first visit to a Thai restaurant.

Best Thai food in town so many menu to try

It was good food and good atmosphere nice people offering free crackers for birthdays and posh drinks and cocktails too

Valentine meal. Staff are very friendly. We come here regularly. Food is always made fresh and is fantastic. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. My favourite is chicken massaman curry and the satay chicken.

What a fantastic little gem! Hidden down Church street, you could easily miss it! Lovely decor, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff and the food is amazing. We had the valentine's offer... 2 starters, 2 mains, ice cream and a bottle of wine, an absolute bargain at £45. The food was hot, fresh and really tasty. Can't wait to go back! Our only grumble, if we really had to find something, would be there's too much curry for the rice... Next time we'd order an extra rice portion to share as the curry is too good not to finish! 🤣

Amazing authentic Thai food. Cocktails were fantastic at a reasonable price. 10/10.

Tastes just like the food I have eaten in Northern Thailand. Not a generic Thai menu, but one with food the owners obviously love themselves and are dishes they grew up with. Menu helpful about what is in each dish and how you can expect it to taste. But, what really sets the food apart was just how fresh and vibrant the food tasted. No dried out fusty Thai basil here, tasted like it had been picked right from the bush and shredded into our food. Great service too, for example we were asked if we wanted a drink top up before we had got around to asking. If I lived in Preston I would get VERY fat, eating here as often as I could.

Ate here this evening, food was absolutely phenomenal. We had the sweetest person serve us who was really attentive and friendly! 10/10 recommend

Delicious authentic Thai food and lovely service. The best Thai food I have eaten in Preston. Give them a try they deserve it!

Excellent Thai food restaurant that we discovered this evening, had the special fried rice and king prawn red Thai curry with salt and pepper chips which we both really enjoyed followed by banana fitters absolutely perfect.

Best Thai I’ve had in a long time. The soup was amazing!! So good.

Was just passing and thought it was open as I could see people....the lady opened up for me as they had closed for after lunch and done me one of the best chocken dishes with extra spice and rice ( sorry cant remember the name of the dish). Will deffo be coming back....lovely food and people. Thank you again for opening for me ;-)

Our first visit here and we weren’t disappointed! We enjoyed a very tasty authentic Thai meal. The staff are helpful and were able to advise on our choice of dish. Our food arrived and was hot and delicious the price was just right too! We will definitely be back thank you

Busy Saturday night at Khao Thai, ordered a mixed starter which was very nice (in particular the satay chicken) and a bottle of wine (Pinot grigio and Chardonnay on the menu, we went for the Pinot). Kids had J20 and Appetizer. Mains were very nice, my beef dish was tasty, my wife's tofu noodles were delicious and my daughter had a chicken dish which was lovely. Sadly my son had the daytime chicken goujons and chips as he's a fussy eater but this order was forgotten hence the lower service rating. Coconut rice was devine and the noodle side plate has to be eaten quick as it swiftly cools. Overall good.

This was an absolute delight! The people are amazing, the food is sensational. If you want authentic Thai with real chilli, come here!

We have been to this restaurant a few times since it’s open. Each time with different people & I have to say we all have loved the food and the fantastic service that’s given. The wine /bar selection could do with improvement. However the food makes up for that. Preston needs more places like this. We will definitely be returning xx

We had read so many good comments that we decided to give it a try. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere is also really nice. Another good place to eat in Preston. We will definitely be back for more.

Tried this lovely little restaurant last night. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious and so flavourful. The staff were lovely and the service was impeccable. We will all 100% be back.

I’ve never tried Thai before so I didn’t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and now a convert. Started with the satay chicken , it was delicious, finished with a pad Thai. The service was fantastic and the staff checked you never had a dry glass. Good service and excellent food.

Dined in this lovely restaurant last night. I was my first experience of a Thai restaurant and it didn't disappoint. The food was amazing!!!! We shared the mixed starter for two and there was a lovely selection all very tasty. We then had Bangkok Gra Pao and a Chicken Panang curry with jasmine rice again all beautifully cooked and tasty. We were so full we had to share our dessert of Banana fritters and coconut icecream again lovely crispy batter on the bananas and really refreshing coconut icecream. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will certainly be back to try the rest of the menu.

Excellent traditional Thai food, well worth a visit!

Great food and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and a modern interior. Fairly busy when we went on a Saturday night.

Excellent Thai food at very reasonable prices. Lovely friendly staff and a chilled atmosphere. Highly recommend this place!

Delicious and authentic food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Just the type of venue that Preston needs more of to turn it into a desirable place to come in an evening.

First visit here .. came for my birthday with my wife and my 19 Yr old daughter. Food excellent... Will defo go again .

Thai food paradise in a not-so-idyllic area of Preston, however worth the visit, food and service was excellent. Tofu Massaman curry and Cashew curry were delicious, lots of vegan choices.

Very nice place to eat. Authentic Thai food. Would recommend A+++

Absolutely amazing food and service

I had a lovely meal here with some friends. The staff are really friendly and efficient, they discussed the dishes with us and gave their recommendations which were great! The food was fresh and tasty, the meat was good quality and the presentation was beautiful. The restaurant was spotless as were the bathrooms. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Will definitely be going back!

Excellent food, it was busy but the staff coped well There was however a lack of cutlery and napkins

Really enjoyed our meal here. The food was delicious, lots of flavour and beautifully cooked and presented. Very busy on a Thursday night which is great. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant authentic Thai food in Preston. The food was amazing. The food priced reasonably. The interior was simple and amazing, Cherry the owner such a thoughtful lady in suggesting food based on your expectation Finally the restroom/ toilet very clean and kept beautifully.

Fantastic food. Very quiet on a Tuesday evening but still a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Seven ladies in our party and all enjoyed our food. Waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable to advise on our menu choices. We'll be back!

Immaculate newly refurbished Thai restaurant. Team all super keen to help and food v tasty (and spicy !)

This new small restaurant in Preston is amazing- Khao Thai in church st . Really authentic Thai food . Owner spent ages chatting to us suggesting items from the menu, and she really wants people to enjoy the experience and authentic Thai food. Absolutely delicious food - fresh and tasty , and friendly helpful staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have enjoyed your meal. Definitely going back soon , loved it ❤️.

We have been here a few times now and I have to say it’s simply amazing ! The owner/chef is a lovely lady and very helpful when ordering from the menu . The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is spotlessly clean . The food is amazing and always prepared fresh so you may encounter a short wait while the meal is prepared but I can honestly say the food is simply perfect ! Highly recommend coming here and sampling the lovely food and drinks

My daughter found this place after searching for Thai food on the internet and decided she wanted to try here for her birthday so I booked a table from their website. Staff were very friendly, food was excellent and authentic and reasonably priced so good me and my partner have booked to come again on Saturday. Would highly recommend.

Tasty authentic-tasting Thai food - recommend the Satay Chicken & Gyoza to start. Massaman Curry was tasty, but the Panang curry sadly wasn’t as good. It was described on the menu as a ‘thick curry’ but was thin consistency & oily. Very friendly staff & would recommend a visit!

Cosy & warm atmosphere! Lovely people & fantastic comfort foods! Must recommend to friends!

Tastey flavourful ....must visit. Limited menu but very good. Veg options are prty good as well.

Went there for take away ordering papaya salad , chicken wings, sticky rice at lunch time, nice in side and food is good as I am Thai so will return .thanks ! 😉😉😉

Booked a table for our 21st anniversary and was very impressed with everything. The food was excellent, reasonably priced and the portion sizes were spot on. The Tofu was very tasty. Would highly recommend the Khao Thai and will be returning again very soon. They also do collection (take away) too.

Delicious food, lovely restaurant- great service - highly recommend!!

A relatively new place for Preston but these are authentic Thai flavours. We’ve travelled to Thailand many times and love the food there. The smell of kefir lime leaves in a Penang curry are always a good sign it’s going to be authentic! We had a delicious and unplanned stop here in September 2023 and it was the best Thai food outside of Thailand. Worth a visit and we will be back!

Excellent selection of authentic Thai food dishes. A genuine taste of Thailand. Friendly service too. Kap khun krap 🙏

Amazing food and amazing owner who is lovely to chat to

Food is amazing have booked again for few weeks time can't wait

Incredible authentic Thai food. This really is a new gem for Preston. Advanced booking essential 👍

Wow what a delightful find. My brother recommended this place and boy did it deliver. They were close to closing time for lunch and still accommodated us. We ordered spring rolls a couple of prawn curries, fried rice and chips. It was incredible. Service was good. Food fresh tasty and full of flavour. I would go again in a heartbeat. Very clean and beautifully decked out. Family run business too.

Great service, friendly and professional, fresh and authentic thai food, clean and modern environment, will definitely recommend and come back hopefully soon

Really tasty food. Gyoza were cooked perfectly, I had the Thai red curry and it was beautiful and full of flavour

Food was beautiful and the staff were really friendly, lots of veggie options too, would definitely recommended

Absolutely amazing food, very authentic and very tasty. Will definitely go again soon

Just had the tiew nam, out of this world broth. Really good Thai food

Very authentic Thai food in Preston with reasonable price. I came here with my friend today. Here is what we ordered. Ice milk tea and ice green milk tea were superb; strong tea with decent sweetness. Yum woon sen was amazing, making me feel like home. It’s so hard to find a restaurant in the UK with this taste. It’s a must-order menu. Gra pow and Kaeng massaman were also brilliant. I can always order how spicy I want them to be and they all came with appropriate portion. Staffs were also really nice and kind. I’ll surely have a comeback 😁
