Khobkhun Thai Restaurant in Forest Heath

Wow, this place is amazing. Food is incredibly tasty and the team always get it right. It amazes me they don't even use a pen and paper to remember orders! Love to eat here as a couple, and also for a family treat.

I could only take a picture of an empty plate, as that’s how good the food is here. I would definitely come back just for the food and service. I had a starter fish cakes & sweetcorn fritters outstanding. The mains was a very nice portion and so tasty I have no lips left from licking them so much. 10/10 well done to the chef and service.

Fabulous food and great staff! Delicious Thai cuisine that was presented beautifully. The best Thai meal that I have ever had.

My friend 35 birthday party. Was wonderful decoration by staff. We have welcome drink plush prawn crackers fir free. Our mix starter cook fresh and yummy. Our set menu of main courses come with Pad Thai prawns, Spicy steam fish, Som tam Thai salad and few more. Staff professional service. Thank you very much for our special day. We will come back

Had a takeaway tonight for the first time from here and the food was amazing, food was well packed as I had an hour journey from Newmarket to north essex and the food was still hot when I got home. Lovely staff all very friendly will definitely be returning with the fiancée as she was really impressed with the food too. Cheers The fire engineer 👍

The restaurant was very quiet but the food was very nice. Service was good. Shame it was quiet as it lacked some atmosphere but in general it was good Thai food.

Thank you to the Kho bkhun Thai team for helping me organise a lovely private meal for a 30th celebration. They went above and beyond to help make it a really special occasion.

No wonder this place is empty, vegetarian options are very limited basically non-existent. The staff do not even know what’s available for vegetarians on their own menu. The menu mentions vegetables, when you order all options are not available. Very very disappointing.

Lovely little place that we found by accident. Food was great and service was brilliant. A little bit of Thailand 🇹🇭 in the middle of newmarket, we will definitely be going back and is well worth a visit 😀

I’ve been going here for many years and it’s sad to witness its decline. Both food and service are now lacking and even prawn crackers tasteless! Hopefully it will regain its mojo but will give it a miss for a while…..

Excellent food and service, had the place to myself (the joys of eating out in January), service was friendly without being over the top. Food was served up quickly without being pre made. Taste was high price was low. Can't ask for anything more. I will be back next time I'm in Newmarket.

Restaurant has gone downhill so badly since new owners have taken over. Such a shame, last few times that we have been here, the food standard is so low, food is too greasy, meat is dry and bland. A real disappointment for our nye takeaway meal.

Lovely staff and restaurant really pretty. Food was fab, but being greedy portions could be a bit bigger. Apart from that would definitely recommend

Take away review. We have used this restaurant for Thai take away for years and sadly will be no more. Something has changed drastically. Food was tasteless and unappetising and received claggy boiled rice instead of jasmine. Quality has gone from here which is a shame. It's not cheap, but happy to pay for quality. Which this no longer is.

Very nice Thai authentic food, starter was superb, main course also delicious, good atmosphere warm welcome service.

The food was terrible .my atom yum was vegetable stock with a bit of chilli ....no galangal, lemongrass or shrimp... No alternative or replace ment offered .I went home hungry. The softshell crab was smothered in a sweet sauce....ruined. wine expensive set b menu fo 2 small portion heavy on chilli lacking in Thai flavours Do not bother go to Thai Strret cafe or Rose and Mango . Shocked, appalled and hung having paid a bill of over £ 112 for 3 people......

We had a meal out with the four of us and decided on Khobkhun. Excellent choice. The restaurant looks authentic, the service is very friendly and the food is authentic and excellent at the same time. The plate of mixed starters was good, the curries and stir fries as mains were great with the dessert of nun banana and banana fritter also not disappointing. That all washed down with a Singha and a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. An excellent evening out.

Been here a few times recently with friends. There are two Thai restaurants in Newmarket but this one feels more authentic food wise. Always have a great meal here, the food is delicious and the service is great.

This used to be our go to Thai. Never again will I order. Food was absolutely vile. And tiny portions to boot. For the price you would be better ordering from McDonalds. The tempura veg wasn’t tempura. Thick gloopy oil sodden batter to try and bulk out the rather pitiful veg that was hidden. The ribs were full of fat and inedible. Looked boiled then griddled last minute. The prawn toasts were ok. But for over £7. No. All the starters are no longer in containers. Now delivered in foil lined bags. So the starters sweat in their own grease. Nice. Needed 10 minutes in the oven on a rack just to render the grease out. Dipping sauce pots were 1/4 full. The beef stir fry Pad gra pao was also awful. God knows what beef this was as it was completely inedible. Sauce was ok if slightly oily. Panang prawns was ok. Predominant taste was coconut milk. 6 medium size prawns for £13.25? No. Total rip off. We ordered some separate plain noodles. 1/3 of container full. Dry as a bone. £4.70? I’ve no idea what’s happened to this restaurant. It was the best in Newmarket. Obviously under new direction and trying to recoup lost Covid pounds. Such a shame. My advice is avoid at all costs. Don’t waste your hard earned money. 1/10.

I visited this restaurant on my own as I was in town for business. The food was ok nothing wowed me but it was nice. The service was quick. The wine was not nice. I left it!

Really friendly staff, and a really tasty menu. Would recommend this for a nice date night, food was amazing!

I don't really leave a review but the food here is amazing! The dishes taste like you are actually in Thailand but with absolutely fantastic quality! Worth the 30min drive for a lovely dinner with kids. The service is great, from booking flexibility and availability to table service. Not to mention, we used Tastecard and they are quite relaxed about it. The red curry, tom yum (chicken and mushroom), the prawn pad Thai, and the chicken satay are all nicely made! I found joy in every dish. Please have a branch in Trumpington 🥹

Restaurant is a bit of a hidden gem. The service was really good. Managed to accommodate us at short notice. Food was really delicious.

This is my go to takeaway and I love it. Staff are always super helpful and friendly, especially when it comes to discussing dietary requirements

Based on a recommendation from a local family we chose Khobkhun over other Thai restaurants in Newmarket. Within 5 minutes drinks were served and orders taken. I had the traditional shrimp pad Thai and my partner had chicken Pad Kra Pao. My noodles were perfectly flavored and seasoned (fish sauce delicious) and I asked for two additional shrimp. (Four are normal per serving. The six matched my expectations for the shrimp to noodle ratio!) Upcharge was £2. The chicken had a smooth even spice heat and the al la carte garlic rice portion was flavorful and generous. Service was swift and attentive; the staff genuinely concerned about diner satisfaction.

Easy to order, friendly, efficient and really really nice food. Couldn’t fault it. Thoroughly recommend.

Ordered take away 12 people picked up meals only half mile away, got meal home one dish short and told them said they would deliver it. Half an hour later phoned to ask how much longer it would be said there would find out after another ten minutes still no news, rang to say we pick it up. Picked it up and ask if they compensate for one of guest missing their meal reluctantly their agreed. Everybody makes mistakes but then try their hardest to make up for it but no here.

Lovely little place. Quick response to online booking in confirming the table. We were the only guests on arrival at 7.30pm, but others soon joined. Amazing curry dishes - the prawn Thai curry was incredible! Service was excellent, setting cute and felt relaxed. The guy in front of house could have been a little warmer and made a better impression and welcome, it felt out of place to the great service and food otherwise. The only point for improvement, would certainly return. Thank you for having us.

First time in this restaurant, good atmosphere ,nice service, excellent food cooked under new chef. We definitely come back.

We have been regular visitors to Khobkun Thai Restaurant for many years, under three different ownerships. Our latest visit was in May 2023, not having visited Newmarket during the Covid years. The quality of the food was excellent, in fact the best it has ever been. The new owner and host, Sumalee, was welcoming and engaging and we enjoyed great service all evening.

Absolutely lovely food and great staff nice and friendly atmosphere , went as a big group and really enjoyed it and will definitely go again and also will order takeout to be delivered.

Friendly staff good Food, could be a bit more Spicy but flavorful for the palate of the region. Nice Atmosphere and reasonable prices

We have just the most amazing meal here. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The chef came out to see us. Throughly recommend!! Can’t wait to go back again soon 😀

We went for the good reviews and although the staff was friendly and there was a nice atmosphere food was not good, low quality and pricey for what actually is. Seems it’s all frozen food

Very good service and good set menu. It was very busy so the service was a bit long but it was great otherwise.

The only thing was the wait for the food apart from that the staff are friendly and the food is the best in Newmarket, throughly enjoyed my meal. There were seven of us and no complaints. It's definitely worth eating here amazing food.

Great food, great service. Congratulations to the new management on an amazing job, we cannot fault the place.

Having booked the restaurant over 6 weeks in advance for Valentines, we arrive to find there was no table in our name. After their initial panic they did find us a table. Things just were not good. Having eaten here on many occasions over the last years this is the worst meal we have had here. the mixed started was luke warm, the sea bass grey looking. having delivered lovely warm plates for the main course it was a good 5 mins before the first main dishes arrived, they were luke warm before the rice and vegetables arrive. Poor service, poor quality food, expensive for what we had Not a good experience, I really doubt we will be back,

5*s for food. Really fresh, flavour full and brilliant portions! Even with a few members of staff, one waitress was serving / preparing drinks and running orders. It was a shame the other staff didn't join in to help as it made service slow. But, I can't fault the food, or the waitress who was actually working very hard!

We had a fantastic meal at Khobkhun Thai in Newmarket with colleagues. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, with friendly and attentive service. The food was delicious, well presented and just the right size. I would definitely recommend Khobkhun Thai to people looking for authentic and delicious Thai food in Newmarket !

Small Thai restaurant but full of a welcoming ambience. Food quality is always good. Quantity and portion are proportional and plentiful. Many parking spaces nearby. Staffs are friendly. Recommend for people living in the area.

Very disappointed, we have used this restaurant for 22 years and the quality and service over the last 6 months has gone down hill so much. We will not be using them anymore.

Ordered at 7.30, told it would arrive by 8.10 latest. Phoned restaurant twice to inquire and told it had left kitchen (after the apparent delivery time of 7.55). Finally arrived at 8.45, driver confirmed he'd only been given it about five mins before. Restaurant lied, and charging £5 for delivery on top is an absolute shame.

Food was delivered piping hot and earlier than expected, definitely using the service again.

Ordered a vegetarian meal, but it consisted of meat. And very greasy

Amazing food, lovely staff, going extra mile in service. Nice delivery driver. 10/10

Food quite poor tonight. Greasy and bland.

The best Thai. The food is outstanding. The decor is very authentic and the service is also excellent. Family run. Top restaurant.

Decided to try the Sunday buffet as an introduction to this restaurant but despite hours on the door and website stating it opens on Sundays, the restaurant was closed. Judging by the answerphone light we could see flashing through the door, there was no point...

Great tasting food. Lovely flavours and ingredients. I will definitely order it again soon!

Always good food at a fair price. Always high on our choices when we go out. A hidden gem

Sorry for the late review thought I already did the review, delicious food and very well presented, staff were very attentive.

Delicious Thai food and excellent service.

Soft shell crab was delicious Massaman very tasty

One of the worst Thai meals we’ve ever had. We ordered a set menu for 2. (£22.95 each) The mixed Thai starter platter was the standard fried bits you usually get. No description of them or the accompanying sauces …hmmm Mains… fried sea bass…. Not...

Delicious food, fantastic value for money

We get this Thai weekly. Always delivered on time, hot. really fresh and delicious. Favourite takeaway in Newmarket - BY FAR!

The rice was hard and they gave us loads of pots of fish sauce when I asked for no fish/oyster sauce because I’m vegan.

Excellent, hot and delicious. Thank you

Pork a bit pink - chose not to eat it. The rest tasted sweet, too much sugar for my taste

Excellent meal, and we can't wait to order again! Thank you!

Tasty, hot and delivered within the timescale to quite a remote location. Well done.

We always enjoy the food from here. Excellent authentic Thai food. Highly recommended.

I can't believe how quiet this restaurant was both times I visited. By far the stand out restaurant I have visited in Newmarket, and I've visited most of them. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and the food was just exquisite. I couldn't recommend this...

Lovely food, quick delivery still hot. Well packaged and big portions.

Been too long since our last visit to our favourite Newmarket restaurant. The food was excellent as usual and the owners personal service it’s usual high standard. Highly recommend if your in the area Tony and Karen

Amazing food delivered quickly! We'll definitely be ordering again!

Ordered our usual but the quality was poor. Left us bloated. The mushroom soup was cloudy instead of clear, the special rice and pad Thai had far too much oil and everything was more salty than usual. Usually the food is excellent but not tonight. Tastes like someone new was cooking.

Great food and great service. Best Thai in the world!

The Pad Thai was delicious like always.

2nd visit here after a pleasant day at the races and again we were not disappointed. The outside appearance is deceptive so don’t be put off as once in it a fantastic experience, the staff are a joy to watch and listen to doing their...

Brilliant lovely meal can't fault it

So authentic. I love the food here so much I wish I lived closer. ❤️ The staff are superb. Decor is gorgeous. Loo facilities are spotless and immaculate.

Great service and very tasty food as well I’ll definitely Oder again

First time trying it and be the last

Very tasty food, we enjoyed our dinner very much!

Driver cannot find property - order now too late

Always love eating here food amazing

Absolutely happy. Very good food, delivered about 15 minutes early! Will order from them again! 👍 👍

Excellent as ever but food could have been hotter

The food was under cooked and not very nice, The Thai street cafe on the high street is far better and the food is fresh because here the food was not fresh at all. I will never go back here and I think I got food poisoning. BEWARE!!

Excellent food , excellent service , attentive and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

What an authentic surprise is this little restaurant. The service was friendly and the owners were lovely. The food tasty and really nice. Will most definitely go back soon :)

Always tastes great! Hot and fresh , on time full of flavour!!! What else can you say or want

Rang after waiting for 30 minutes and told it was on its was. Really disappointed

I couldn’t recommend this place more. We had a small gathering of 8 people for my sisters birthday. The guys at Khobkhan went above and beyond to make this a very special occasion. Best Thai food I’ve ever had too! Thankyou so much for everything....

The food being cold was just the icing on the cake poor service and it's not been resolved over a month later

Excellent again. Good food and early delivery.

Fantastic food, lovely staff, good vibes, love it 👌🏾

Arrived in 15 minutes upon ordering. Fresh and well flavoured. Amusing front house too.

Great food but 20 minutes late with zero updates from restaurant, had to ring to get an update

We ate here based on excellent reviews. Slightly perplexed. We eat thai food a lot and have been to thailand multiple times. This isnt fresh, tasty cooking. This is warmed up pre cooked beige food which is overly sweet. My partners beef dish stank and tasted of fish sauce. On pros, excellent service, nice staff and seemed pretty clean.

Really delicious pad thai chicken. Will be ordering again!

Always great food, fresh and delivered early or on time would 100% recommend

Excellent Thai restaurant, fantastic food and service

Amazing food. We ate in, nicely spaced tables, very clean. We are going to try a takeaway next as the food was too good to just have one meal whilst in Newmarket!

The best beef massaman I've ever had! The beef was marinated and tender. Very speedy and friendly service.

I always order from this restaurant, delicious as always and authentic. Asked for extra peanut sauce in the comments section and they sent a few!

Delicious food, amazing service Price very good for quality what you get I am happy to come back and back I clean the plates, that food is amazing
