Koh Noi in Poole

This restaurant really didn’t meet my expectations. Wagamamas makes better food than here and for the money I spent I was extremely disappointed. The duck roles were 100% fat and inedible to the point I don’t even think my dog could chew it. The katsu curry was edible just about but as said before I wouldn’t waste the money coming here when you can get better quality food at Wagamamas.

Fantastic night out with friends great atmosphere fantastic waitress by the name of Pam who was very attentive to our needs and the young man showing us to our seats was great aswell great night and fantastic food

Great little restaurant! The staff , Carmine, Bailey & Pam, were all excellent. The service was great and the we had quite a variety between 8 of us and everything was delicious! Definitely recommend.

We have lived in BH13 for many years but had never visited so I took my parents here to celebrate Fathers Day. We placed our orders; my father being a vegetarian ordered a vegetable curry but was served a chicken curry. When my father queried this, the manageress retorted “Well I didn’t take your order did I?” We then had to eat our meal while my father was left waiting for his food. When the plates were cleared there was no apology and weren’t even asked how our meals were. My curry was over seasoned and more like a bowl of leaves as per the pic. When we left the manageress gave another sarcastic response as we left. I’m amazed how someone like that can work in hospitality with such a poor attitude. Perhaps it’s a boutique shop syndrome feeling elevated due to her position. Not quite sure but certainly won’t be back.

Great place, very tasty food, nice atmosphere. Every staff member was super friendly and helpful, especially Carmine who made sure that we’ve had everything we need. Top service. Highly recommend!

This place has just recently opened following the lockdown, covid measures are very good. The food which is reasonably priced is well prepared and simply delicious plus the staff are welcoming and attentive.

The new menu is really disappointing for a gluten free option, not a single one of the many starters/tapas were gluten free Having visited all Koh Thai settings previously and always had a large selection of dishes to choose from I was left feeling very...

Love Thai food & can honestly say we had the best Thai meal at Koh Thai Lilliput. The flavours of the foods were amazing & the meats were succulent. Cocktails to die for & our server Olivia was so warm & friendly. We need a...

We’ve been massive fans of Koh Noi/Thai in Lilliput ever since it opened a number of years ago and, although pricey, you’d get an awesome quality of food and service. They’ve just reopened post-lockdown and also had a small refurb of signage etc so unsure...

Turned up this evening (Saturday night) without a booking to a very busy, vibrant restaurant. Luckily got a table and had a delicious meal. Second time we have been here and we have also had a takeaway in the past which was awesome. The cocktails...

The Koh Thai is probably the best tapas restaurant in Poole and offers a delicious selection of tasty, spicy foods with friendly staff. Always well attended

Excellent meal and service. Thai always a little pricey. Best meal we had in sandbanks this week. Very busy but quick service always useful when you have a little person with you.

This was the worst meal I’ve had locally. 1 hour before starters arrived then one dish was wrong! Another half an hour before main course arrived. The starters at least were nice, especially the Tempura Prawns - very fresh.. Main course was just inedible -...

I often eat here with my family and also enjoy the cocktails in the evening. superb food that's reasonably priced. Kane is a great host....always looks after us when we drop in! Lois and the team.....great job!

We have been to this restaurant several times but not lately as it is not possible to book so you take a chance on getting a table. The menu is great with a nice extra winter menu. I recommend the creamy covered prawn things off...

Haven’t been to any of the Koi Thai restaurants for a while as found they had gone down hill. However, we popped into the one in Lilliput on a spur decision. We were so pleased we did. Fabulous cocktails, amazing food especially sea bass. Service...

Would have been five star if it weren’t for the slightly poor service. Think they were just a bit busy. Nice food

Fantastic range of vegan dishes, which were absolutely delicious. Would recommend tofu sticks, even my wife who isn't a fan of tofu loved them. We had the Yellow Curry and coconut rice - best food in Poole, amazing flavours! More than reasonable price! Lovely kind...

I don’t often write reviews but after my fantastic evening spent visiting Lois and her amazing team, I thought it was only fair to share my experience. We visited Koh Noi on a extremely busy New Year’s Eve and was greeted by Lois with a...

We ate in here tonight, and was blown away. I have travelled, visiting Thailand amongst many places and this Thai representation was /is fantastic. The flavours are chilli hot yet with so many flavour layers - sweet and fragrant. Really good. I say again -...

Staff were very busy last night and there didn’t seem to be enough on the shift. But I just wanted to say they did a fantastic job under a lot of pressure and with a smile on their face !

Come here all the time and never had problem! Came this evening and had the 24hr ribs when they came they looked lovely when eating them was awful. Couldn’t even chew it and I know ribs can be fatty but my god it also had...

Very lively place. Had cocktails while waiting for a table. Initially told we would wait one hour 15 mins. Chose what we wanted while waiting. We got our table after half an hour. Starters appeared quickly. Mains were also fairly quick. Brilliant food. Friendly, humerous...

Great food with sides. Choice of curries. Favorites are dimsum, satay chicken, crispy beef and yellow curry. Only negative is that you can't book. Need to turn up and wait, but you can have a cocktail or two while waiting. Great atmosphere.

Food is freshly prepared, I do like the Duck Dish. There are Hot & Spicy Dishes & A Variety of Mild tasty meals. Dont forget you can use Delivaroo to bring your favourite dishes to your home

Small portions of just ok food.have had meals before and the portions were larger. Same price though.

Very disappointing, the service was awful, had to wait ages to be served, the food for five of us came out at different times, having to wait a long time for our rice, we were not asked if we wanted any more drinks, had to...

The Koh Thai in Lilliput is the ideal place to eat if you are looking for something tasty and spicy to eat. Always busy with friendly service makes this a pleasure to visit too.

Went here for dinner with friends. We had the £26 pp menu which, if honest, wasn't very exciting (they choose what you have) but it tasted good. Not sure I like the idea of not being able to book a table - you just show...

I ordered the garlic stir-fry for the first time this evening, and was genuinely shocked when I opened the lid. For £9 it is a complete disgrace! I proceeded to call the restaurant to ask if this was correct and I wasn't missing noodles or...

Just had the worst pad thai ever (home delivery). It smelt like cat food and was supposed to be vegetarian. The lot went in the bin - what a waste of money especially as it was overpriced anyway.

It was terrible a friend of mine had a hair in her food and the staff were miserable. thank you for listening

Very nice visit for our Grandsons birthday. Food and service very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be going back.

Never quite sure whether the optimum Tapas meal is four or five dishes, or more. Ultimately, I suppose it depends a lot of the ambiance and the company, and the food of course. In which case, the Koh Thai in Lilliput, on the road between...

Went early as a table for two and were there for an hour and 3/4 due to slow service, got table straight away, strangely the larger table next to us were in and out in 1/2 the time and had very little wait for their...

KOI NOI Me and my family went for dinner and the food staff and overall ambeience was lovly ISSY looked after us and she was amazing and so was Caine and Louis Thorough nice eve highly recommend BL

Ate with friends last Saturday. Accepting you always have to wait for a table, so inducing you to drink more ! We were told 45 mins but actually got to the table in less than half an hour. All staff very pleasant and friendly. Mojitos...

I went with a friend to Koh Thai last night, the first question we were asked did anyone have any allergies, I said yes I was allergic to fish, we were then told they would not serve us owing to my allergy. I have traveled...

Well located in Lilliput just down the road from Evening Hill and Sandbanks. Easy parking opposite where there is unrestricted street parking. The tapas portions are large so two is probably enough and three is plenty.

The food was really good and reasonable size portions as well. Spicy coconut sould was really nice as was satay and bbq beef. Dim sum was ok. Service was efficient and friendly. It was busy when we went but we were seated quickly. Well worth...

We dropped in on Friday evening on the off chance they could fit us in. You cannot book, but need to turn up and take a chance. Luckily, they had a table available for us even though the restaurant was very busy. The place has...

Koh in Lilliputian serves really good Thai food. The tapas selection is great with a really good flavour and spicy kick. What lets it down this visit was the service. Very chaotic and disorganised and struggle to get drinks and to order.

No problems. Food very good. Nice ambience about the place, good staff and very good authentic food.

food was excellent but service was poor...went for my wife`s 50th birthday and overall service was disappointing...sat at the bar for a while with my family and wasn`t asked if we needed drinks.. when we sat down, the lighting was poor and difficult to read...

Dinner for six of us, food was excellent and would recommend. Some issues with food not arriving, was disappointed that they automatically add a 10% tip to the bill, they do say it can be removed but in our mind that’s not the point, in...

We had a really good experience here. The atmosphere was perfect for our Friday Date Night. The food was amazing, the service was very competent and overall it was a great night out. We chose to have the tasting menu for £26.50pp. We were given...

Visited here on a Friday night with my partner. We love Thai food and have experienced a lot of Thai in the past. This is by far the tastiest we’ve ever had. We were seated at our table of choice which was a large 6...

Having seen the offerings of the hotel where we we staying tonight, we decided to venture out. Reliant on Trip Advisor for a recommendation, we decided to visit Koh Thai in Lilliput. We were warmly greeted and taken to a table of our choice, which...

We had the most amazing dining experience. Would highly recommend it. Joe Hanford was fantastic, his knowledge of the menu,how to give the best customer dining experience gave was a wonderful evening. We had the tasting menu. Joe was very professional, he spent time asking...

Third visit to Koh. Food reliably excellent and prompt. Service friendly and helpful - thanks Joe! Particularly impressed by the cocktails (and mocktails for the kids). They were as good as they sounded - well-balanced and delicious: they can often be disappointing at restaurants.

Tasty as usual, food never disappoints and some really good local gins on offer at the bar where Joe was happy to serve and enjoy some light banter.

Lovely Thai restaurant in Lilliput. Not cheap, but the food is lovely. The wine is expensive, and last year the fridges broke down and the wine was served warm... but no apologies, “it’s just how it is” perhaps the staff have since changed. Not really...

Excellent food, briliant service good variety across the menue and great value for money, Really enjoyable.

I went to this place when it first opened and it was OK. Revisited it again recently and was very disappointed. Lights so low I could hardly see the menu Music so loud it was difficult talking to the person opposite Food Average for a...

Delicious! Very friendly staff who helped my (first time eating Thai) friend understand and choose a very yummy meal. Great wine too!

Friday evening here last week was at best chaotic and at worst a total shambles. Arrived early and got a table straight away. Ordered drinks and waited and waited. Over 10 mins later drinks arrived and ordered food, starters and main (not wanting to opt...

We are regular visitors and regularly order as a takeaway.. tonight we were given some of the smallest portions I’ve ever known.. we paid £8.20 through Deliveroo (obviously there is a surcharge but even so) for this.. (picture attached)... it didn’t even cover one layer...

Love this place. The food and atmosphere is great. Only negatives I have is that you cant pre-book and therefore can often have a lengthy delay in getting seated and its on the pricey side!

We went on a Tuesday evening and to our surprise it was really busy and were told there was an hour wait for a table. That was fine as we sat at the bar and only waited for our table for 35 mins. The food...

We visited last night for dinner with our two young children (one baby and one 4 year old) and cannot recommend the food or staff highly enough. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the service was excellent. We were really impressed by the...

Been meaning to sample this place since we moved here and I’m now very glad we did. The atmosphere like everywhere in this area is very affluent and hip. The food is delicious and authentic. I chose the roast duck curry in a red sauce...

Third visit. Great atmosphere fantastic food. Take a risk and go for the sharing menu. More than you can eat of the most fantastic Thai food. What is nice is if you leave it up to the chef you will get their suggestion of what...

Visiting the area for a couple of days, were recommended by a local, food was excellent lovely atmosphere, but best of all was the service by a lovely chap called Taylor, he could not have done any more for us, we will definitely visit again...

I had been waiting a while to visit this place as I've heard good things about the Bournemouth site. When we arrived there was about 3 tables. It was very quiet and not much of an atmosphere. It was very layed back, the "manager" had...

I love this place and it just brings out the best in people( especially when the football is on) The food is amazing as always. I would recommend the dim sum and spring rolls. The cocktails are the epitome of Chinese quality the strawberry lemonade...

1st visit to John Noi Lilliput and my wife wanted to go there for ages and had been given some really good reviews about the hospitality, food and cocktails. We were greeted with a warm welcome a given a window seat. We explained to our...

Koh Noi was recommended to us by a friend who raves about it. We went last night as a family and we were blown away. The staff were beyond friendly and helpful, for example My daughters chose mocktails and didn’t like them and you changed...

We really liked this place. Drinks were great and food was lovely. We were in n out very quick which was what we needed. Alcohol is dear though... Go enjoy!

Really good good Thai tapas and good friendly services what let’s it down is the automatic service charge on the bill. Whilst I appreciate its optional this should be left to the customers preference.

Amazing food, amazing service (Olivia), amazing venue, first class restaurant the general manager was superb. We will be back soon.

Me and the girlfriend visited tonight. The welcome was warm and we were promptly seated. Drinks order taken quickly, but had to wait ten minutes to arrive but no real bother. The food arrived quickly and it was absolutely delicious. The house white wine was...

We got to the tapas bar just after 8 in the evening and it was very busy, we were greeted by a member of staff who was very polite he took our name as you can't book in advance and said we would have to...

We visited this restaurant as part of the short stay to Lilliput and we are very glad we did. On arrival we were told that the service may be a little slow due to someone phoning in sick but actually the service was excellent. The...

Absolutely first class. Food was second to none, I am not exaggerating by saying it is up there with the very best Thai I have eaten. Very busy but in a good way, there was a fantastic ambience and excellent service- our fifteen minute wait...

The food was at the correct level on price and quality that was expected. What was a big disappointment was the time between starter and main, 45 minutes. Had to ask what had happened and they did apologise. Staff need to work on picking up...

Came here for my GFs birthday. Was served up an incredible veggie feast, and our waiter Taylor went out of his way to clarify what we liked - and it did not dissappoint! Great night, great food, enough said.

I like this restaurant but the service needs to be improved. Not happy that they put a service charge which means staff don’t giv you the service as they should since they have no incentive to do so. I had a flat noodle and it...

After spending my morning on the beautiful Sandbanks beach I took a stroll along the seafront. My friend and I decided to take our chances on Koh Noi. And what an absolute delight! Delicious vegan options for myself and an array of authentic meat dishes...

Suberb comfortable chilled place to enjoy our tasty vegan meals. Friendly knowledgeable smiling staff. Definitely returning soon.....

Very attentive service even when busy. The food was delivered hot and in a timely manner. The food was nice but not the best I have eaten. Starter and main for six people was one hundred and seventy pounds.

Once again, we were not disappointed. Having been to the sister restaurant in bath, we were happily satisfied the foods quality was maintained at a high level. Great cocktails, wonderfully friendly and helpful waiter (Taylor) made our evening as good as it gets. Fantastically looked...

I come to Koch Thai Lilliput often. Their tapas dishes allowed me to choose small eats and is handy when it is just myself. Price is inflated for what they served as a portion. In addition by charging for tap water even when I have...

This was quite simply the most gorgeous Thai meal I have had since I was last in Thailand and beats some of the meals I had there too. What a wonderful experience! The spring rolls, the sweetcorn fritters, the calimari, the satay chicken, the curries...

This was our first visit to Koh Noi. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. There was a Gluten Free choice even though there was only one starter which was GF, but a few mains available, the waiter was very helpful on explaining...

Had dinner on a hot evening so ordered just tapas style starters. The fish cake tasty but slightly too spicy for me. The grilled pork is really sweet and grilled to perfection. Cheap enough for my dinner as I was full after. As it was...

This small Thai restaurant in a parade of suburban shops punches above its weight. On a Monday evening it was quite busy - I had expected to be the only customer, with plenty of staff and quick service. Although it’s specifically seems to be tapas...

We had a lunch here with my wife. 5* food 5* service. What else can you wish? Great lunch offer in-house and on websites. Well worth of money, very tasty food lovely presentation. Highly recommended if you are looking for something special. We will return...

Amazing food just a shame about the service. We had to wait 45 mins for our starters after two tables that ordered 10 and 20 mins after us where served their food first. We where not offered any more drinks or asked how the food...

Had a slightly indifferent Service experience a couple of months ago and being frustrated at not being abler to easily contact the Management Team, reviewed accordingly. I have to say the manner in which Andrew responded and addressed my concerns within the review was commendable...

Visited on impulse as it was within walking distance on a very cold day. Not disappointed. Nice welcome and good window seat. Wide choice of menu and for our first visit we both tried a stir fry. Given good advice on side order and meal...

Came here with a big crowd to the almost empty restaurant. Took a while for the staff to get a table organised for us. Ordering was a bit chaotic and the staff didn’t take charge to ensure all orders had been taken and everyone was...

As a local and regular to the restaurant I went one evening with my wife in the pouring rain and had an excellent meal and wine as always. The food is always amazing and after many visits we have never had anything but great food...

I loved the tapas dishes available at Koh Thai. Mind you it’s nice to eat in but takeaway is not,as portion sizes for the price is poor. Also delivery charges for delivery so I prefer to get takeaway from Mekong Thai or another good place...

My wife, son and I dropped in to Koi Noi Lilliput Sunday evening, restaurant very quiet. All started OK but stone cold dishes were presented with the food. The lady had just carried them through so she would have realised as such. When queried, she...

I visited a few times on table pounder with my partner and we can sample many types of tapas dishes rather than have full meals. Excellent taste and price not too bad especially on table pounder. Look out for the service charge as the first...

Can't fault the food, it was very tasty and very well presented. Service was good. An 'optional' service charge is added to the already pricey prices; to opt out of paying the charge you would have to look the waitress in the eye and tell...

Firstly let me say that I don't really like Thai food, not my favourite, and only went because we were given some vouchers. That said, thoroughly enjoyed it, for me the best Thai food I have had, tasty, well cooked and good portions. Started with...

My sons girlfriend treated us to a meal here last Saturday evening. As you can’t pre book we arrived at 5.30 to ensure us a table. The restaurant quickly filled up behind us. The starters were amazing and the main Phad Thai was really tasty....

Highly enjoyed my visit with my boyfriend and had to go back almost immediately with our family too. Food is wonderful. It's a must for date night, friends or even family

Second visit this week Great food, cocktails and service can’t wait to go again! The food is really really good shame you can’t book a table but I guess if you could then it would become very difficult to get one so get in early...
