Khao Thai Eatery in Preston

Brilliant service and amazing food

Great food, very neat and tidy place. I would definitely recommend this establishment! Service was great!

Great atmosphere, excellent service, fabulous food!

Food was 10/10 one of the best Thai meals we have had

Best Thai restaurant in preston

The Thai food is absolutely amazing here, I come at least twice a month. It’s fresh food great service and the restaurant is absolutely stunning. This is the only Thai food restaurant I will eat at in Preston. Keep being amazing to you all. Thank you

Lovely food and a great lunch experience and menu, we will be back.

Really lovely restaurant, very nice vibe. Great service and fab, authentic Thai food. They do an £8.50 lunch deal and their Pad Thai and Panang Curry are awesome.

Llarna was so helpful and the food was lovely. Thank you!

We drive from Windermere to Preston just to eat this food. We love Thai food, but this restaurant is different from most Thai restaurants. The owner clearly loves her establishment and she is so proud to explain how the chefs cook the food and with what ingredients. These things make this place stand out from the rest. When someone cares about the food and the presentation and their clientele then it’s hard not to feel wanted and that your custom means something. Please keep up the good work and high standards, as we will keep coming and enjoying your amazing food, service and company.

Amazing food , will definitely be coming back

Extremely well presented eatery, with a relaxing ambience and attentive staff. The food was amazing, with the flavours and portion sizes offering good value for money. As someone who has lived in Thailand, I highly recommend this place.

Went here last Tuesday for evening meal. I love Thai food and had been here before. I always order same Thai when they have it on the menu. Pad Kee Mao, last time was prawn so went with chicken this time. I had reserved table for 4 and it was easy to book by messaging them online. I don't know the ladies name who served us but she was lovely. The others chose their food which was other noodle dishes and platter. The atmosphere is so relaxing, we were there to catch up and we were able to chill out, laugh and enjoy some amazing food. I would recommend this place every day, the food is portioned right (although I could have had more plates of Pad Kee Mao). We will return. The ladie mentioned they do a sort of tapas Thai during the week which sounds soooo good.

This is a quaint little restaurant with a fantastic ambience, great service and absolutely amazing food. Each serving was authentic Thai cuisine, bursting with flavours and piping hot. We will be back very soon.

The price to expensive for the content and the taste …. I’m Asian for the taste is too plain and no way this authentic Thailand food ….. I’m sorry too say this our honest opinion 😊

We have eaten here so many times now as a pair and with friends and have seriously NEVER had a bad meal. Get yourself down there...it's exceptional.

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.

The Lunch menu was splendid. And cheap. £8.50 with £1 for a Diet Coke. I had the Bangkok Gra Pow with rice which was delicious.

Great food! Service was excellent - highly recommend a stop

An excellent meal in a great restaurant with a good, lively vibe. The owner will help and advise on the dishes to choose. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

Came here with my boyfriend, we shared the squid starter which was nice but only 5 small pieces for over £7. I had the pad Thai which was tasty but a bit too sweet, and my boyfriend had the prawn wonton soup. Overall the food was tasty, but a bit overpriced for the portion sizes, especially the starter. Service was good and restaurant was very clean.

Food fabulous and reasonably priced. A bit quiet for a Saturday night but would definitely recommend. 👌

Visiting Preston to look aroumd university and ate dinner here. Delicious authentic Thai food, lovely owner fab service. Great range of drinks. Highly recommend.

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.

Delicious food, well made and tasty

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

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.

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

Absolutely delicious and delivered in great time.

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.

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

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!

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👍🏽👍🏽

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

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

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

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! 🤣

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.

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.

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

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

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!

This new small restaurant in Preston is amazing- Khao Thai in church st . Really 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 ❤️.

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

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
