Koh Thai Lymington in New Forest

Staff were inattentive, slovenly and ill-kempt. Service was slow and food in general of average quality. It was much better 2 years ago.

Amazing food, fabulous cocktails and great service. Bromwyn and Chat looked after us exceptionally and Leena makes the best Mia Thai this side of Bangkok. Can highly recommend the Duck Tamarind. We will definitely be back very soon 😁

Loved it here! Staff were so friendly, great menu full of lots of options, and the food was delicious! There is a nice outdoor courtyard to eat in on warmer evenings and a vast selection of drinks and food to choose from.

The cocktails were well made and strong and at a good price. The staff were very friendly, and our waitress Zoe was exceptional. We felt welcomed and sat in the lovely back garden.

Staying at nearby Elmers Resort and walked in to town for dinner . Had been recommended to us by a local. As soon as I walked in , I was immediately transported back to a Thai Holiday many moons ago. The smell of the food and the impeccable welcome by staff had us smiling from that moment. The food did not disappoint and it was great to reminisce over a Singh. Good price compared to many other local eateries and overall, a lovely experience.

The service was very poor. We arrived there really looking forward to a nice meal out but the service was appalling. We arrived there and got sat at a table that was dirty. The waiters passed by us many times without taking our order. My daughter had to get up and get them to come to us every time we needed something. The soup that I got was served cold and the waiter's fingers were in the bowl of my soup. It took 45 minutes for prawn crackers to arrive as well as our drinks. They got the food that we ordered wrong and there was a waiting time of 1 hour and 30 mins even though the restaurant was literally empty. Please do not go here. It was not an enjoyable meal. Our drinks were served but mainly filled with ice and no beverage at all.

We are big fans of Thai food and eat it regularly at home and at a favourite nearby restaurant. Service at the Koh Thai was excellent, our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. However, the food was just a bit ‘off’, not literally, but just not quite right. The Tom Yum soup was very strong and lacked subtlety, the Pad Thai was a bit tasteless, but worst if all, the Som Tam salad was inedible, don’t order this! It’s made with swede instead of papaya and the sauce just tasted wrong. Having said this, my husband’s spare ribs and chicken rice were alright and the friendly staff almost made up for the food. You can’t use cut price ingredients, without totally changing the dish, we’d have happily paid more for the real thing.

We stayed in Lymington for 3 nights and ended up going here twice as it was so good. I strongly recommend the Red Dragon Spare Ribs and Thai-na-mite prawns. You can get the mayo on the side which meant my son could eat them. The vegetable tempura is also good. For mains we enjoyed the Fiery Gang Som - be brave! It isn't really hot.

Staff were lovely, food and cocktails all delicious. Our only issue was I avoided anything with chilli symbols on the menu as I don't tolerate spice well and the things my partner ordered with them turned out to be barely spicy at all, even up to 3 chilli's, so if you're like me don't be afraid to order the 1 or 2 chilli options you'll be fine.

I met up with friends for a meal and catch up. Ben, the waiter, was efficient and helpful recommending dishes which we all enjoyed. The cocktails were delicious and good value 2for1 and there was plenty of choice. Ben knew the content of all we asked about and his recommendations were ideal. A very lovely evening was had by all

Food was served quickly, hot it was pretty much faultless and ben the manager was very funny and attentive. Would definitely return

Delicious dinner, crispy beef is a firm favourite but everything was great. Had a small issue and Manager Ben went above and beyond straight away. He is the only staff member who is always there, always on top of it all and friendly. We live locally and always glad that the food standard is maintained. Koh Thai is my kids favourite, but also go with friends as the cocktails are the best in Lymington.

The staff were attentive, but not in your face. The ambiance and décor was great. The food was divine

Had a nice meal on New Year’s Eve. Reasonably priced good food, friendly Thai waitress. We were the last booking and didn’t feel rushed.

£18+ for two starters, one cold and unappetising and a glass of tap water, service included of course. Didn’t want to stay for a main course.

Truly excellent service and wonderful food. We were on holiday in Lymington and this restaurant was definitely a great find for a relaxing meal on a Saturday night. Staff were attentive and friendly. The food from starting with prawn crackers was excellent. The food was...

Went for a birthday dinner with a big family group, great food and cocktails all with great service from all the staff. An extra thank you to Ben for the birthday treat!

Came to this restaurant in lymington to have a nice birthday meal and the food was ok but the service was terrible. I talked to the manager multiple times about my food and the second time they stormed off. Worst service and I wouldn’t recommend

I have visited koh thai on a few occasions with friends and it has been a really pleasant experience each time. The staff are very friendly and attentive, the food and drink are nice, and reasonably priced. My only minor slight is that the food...

We enjoyed great food and efficient friendly service. Despite being busy, the staff took the trouble to listen to dietary requirements and offer advice. Good value - we recommend!

Amazing atmosphere staff seated us even though we were half an hour early and got us drinks to begin with. Service was excellent and Ben the assistant manager was exceptional and made us feel very welcome and spent time to check in with us and...

Absolute incredible experience. The customer service was amazing. Definitely the best restaurant I have been to in Hampshire.

Went in for dinner on Sunday night for the first time and wasn't disappointed. We were welcomed warmly and shown to our table promptly. From there, we chose to order a selection of Tapas sized starters as we had had a rather large late lunch....

Second time back here and the food was as good as before. Good size portions, tasty and lots of choice. Staff are friendly and helpful….I’d highly recommend

as a group of 6 we simply walked in and were greeted with a warm smile and seated promptly. The food was brilliant with so much choice, hot and tasty. My only gripe was the toilets, they need a bit more care and attention but...

Koh Thai - Lymington. Review We were encouraged by some nice looking Vegan options. However, in reality, it seemed like an opportunity to charge more for less. 1st course - The ‘Tom Yum’ vegan soup. This had none of the subtlety you expect from Thai...

Arrived here after being let down on another restaurant booking and to be honest we are glad we were!! Spencer was a delight, so helpful and attentive they went out of their way to make our evening a success. We ate chicken satay, crispy beef,...

Lovely place in good location. Staff were very helpful, food and drink were all great. Would go back!

We had bao buns (bit small) and dragon ribs, delicious. Mains we had pork green Thai curry and Singapore noodles with chicken and prawn; very tasty. Service charge already added to the bill which may mean the staff do not benefit from any tips when...

We came in Monday evening and we had Such a lovely anniversary meal, staff were all professional and welcoming and were very informative about the menu. Both the cocktails from Jon and service from Floor staff was amazing. We will definitely return

I came in with my sister for her results day celebration. Staff were so kind and went above and beyond to cater to our allergies. Will definitely be back!!

Me and my partner spent a lovely evening here, food was wonderful and service was brilliant! Thanks for a great night! We can’t wait to visit again!

Booked as 12th bday meal @7pm with 2 kids, parents and grandparents. Was obvious from the moment we walked in that staff had a problem. Main bar steward was in and out the restaurant on his phone and waitress was less than attentive. Staff argued...

Excellent food as always served by very pleasant staff. It was our Wedding anniversary 59th, my wife and myself have eaten here before including pre pandemic they have managed to present the same excellent food and service, well done.

We booked Koh Thai for our friends hen do, couldn’t have found a better spot. Food was really good, cocktails were lovely and the service was fab! Ben was super attentive when it came to looking after us with quick drink service and knew some...

Thank you so much to koh Thai lymington for making our lunch for Catherine's hen do so special Our waiter Ben really went all out with his friendly, professional and attentive manner . Our food was absolutely delicious I will definitely be back!

Went for lunch with my partner today and all I can say is WOW. Great service, amazing food and even better staff. Would recommend to anyone, I will be returning. I’ve found my new favourite restaurant!

The food was ok, nothing special. Looking at the water bottles placed on the table, someone commented it looked like a snow globe with the amount of stuff floating around. The toilets are appaling, it looks like the whole place including the outside areas could...

We have had such an amazing time at Koh Thai, Lymington today for our friends hen do. The food and drink are amazing but the service is even better. Everyone one needs a Ben as their waiter in their life! He could not do enough...

Ok but nothing special. Large restaurant. Not much atmosphere. We had just sailed back from Cherbourg and thought a spicy meal would be good. My friends chilli beef left him gasping! 5 chillis in it so beware. The Katsu curry was ok but not up...

Tasted as they had used old oil in fryer and did not eat my main course. Service was okay though but needed to ask them to remove the main from the bill. I don’t think I will be going back there.

The quality and quantity of the food remains consistent. However, on a busy sunny Saturday (Market Day) - I found myself to be the only diner in the restaurant at lunchtime. The poor lighting is oppressive. One course cost £14 including service charge, which I...

We were staying in Lymington for a few nights and had a meal last night at Koh Thai - it was delicious - thoroughly recommend.

The service and attention to detail was outstanding and the food was delicious. Gwen, Lucy and Spencer went over and above and were incredibly helpful. Thank you so much :)

Went in Sunday lunch time, restaurant was empty but don’t know why, food was extremely tasty and the best, I have been to many Thai restaurants, thoroughly recommend. Excellent service

Great choice of food all of which was cooked well and presented well. Fast and friendly service either for Lunch or dinner although when we returned for dinner the Menu was reduced by unavailable items which was a shame.

Had a great meal on Friday evening, The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food arrived promptly, even though it was quite busy. Will visit again soon.

Great food and friendly service, we just had a takeaway but it was delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit to the new forest

Fantastic evening with friends at koi Thai lymington, lovely tasty food and large cocktails, friendly atmosphere and a lovely host Spencer looked after us all evening thank-you!

Excellent food and service. Our meal was absolutely delicious and the staff were more than happy to advise on menu choices. We ended up sharing several starters and mains (rather than ordering one each) and every single plate was a delight.

I visited Koh Thai for a Tuesday evening meal with friends and felt I had to leave a review as the service was exceptional! We served by Ben and he was incredibly helpful, polite, freiendly and fun. He definitely made our dining experience

I have visited multiply times recently and every time Ben has made the experience feel special. He has great knowledge about the menu and has great suggestions if you ever need any. If you are planning on going this is the person you want to...

Overhyped pre frozen offering in a bizarre chocolate brown environment, they had even painted the air conditioning 😂 Building was in desperate need of new furniture etc Service was sporadic with half the order wrong but so hungry, couldn’t understand why we fell for the...

What a great atmosphere went with a friend visiting the UK for a holiday. Incredibly friendly service from our waiter Spencer. Really helpful recommendation on dishes . LOVE the Crispy Beef and Chicken Stir Fry. The curries were also fab. Dragons Ruin cocktails so delicious....

Just returned from a fantastic evening at Koh Thai in Lymington. My wife has an allergy tk corriander so eating Asian food can be a challenge to the point she tends to acoid it. I managed to convince her that these understood and cared about...

So difficult to choose what to eat here, everything is just delicious! Thanks to Ben for making sure our cocktails were never empty ;)

Staying one night in Lymington, we came upon Koh Thai. Despite it being busy our waitress was very attentive and accommodated my allergy to mussels. Food was fantastic, freshly cooked and flavoursome. Vegetable tempura was delicious as was the crispy sea bass Would thoroughly recommend

An absolutely perfect experience head to toe, from when we arrived we were greeted very pleasantly by a young chap named Ben who made us feel very at home. We sat at the bar and Gwen served us some beautiful cocktails, my wife and I...

Haven’t been for a while as was closed for a long time. It didn’t disappoint at all! During lockdown we had a horrific experience at the Lilliput branch and were nervous the Lymington one would have changed their food to the same poor quality as...

Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks at Koh for my mums birthday meal. The brilliant service from Ben and Ellie and the beautiful cocktails from Gwen made the night even more fantastic. The food was lovely and highly recommend to anyone wanting a enjoyable meal...

Amazing restaurant, service was fantastic!!!! ben offered us drinks but was not too pushy, and was happy to make recommendations (which were spot on!!)) definitely would reccommend, however only if ben serves you :))))

Wonderful evening! Food was exceptional - delicately spiced Asian seabass, highly recommended. Ben deserves a special mention: attentive to our every need. We will be back.

We had a fantastic evening at this restaurant and had a fabulous meal. We had a very friendly waiter called Ben, highly recommended him and the restaurant. Great atmosphere

We had a great evening, food was superb and Ben was the best at looking after us and ensuring we had everything we needed. I’ll be back ;)

Really nice Thai food at a reasonable cost. Was quite busy for a Thursday evening but got a table without a reservation. Staff whilst not many were really friendly and efficient. Certainly recommend

5 put of 5. Service from Ben was amazing. Let them decide what to eat which was the best decision ever. Loverly food and a lovely environment

Visited here twice during our 4 day trip. Had a tapas selection the first eve, Pad Thai and crispy sea bass the second. All very delicious and complimented with lovely cocktails and wine. What made the experience complete was the service, friendly and efficient, particular...

We love Koh Thai Lymington and we’re so pleased to see it re open. The food is always excellent and they have a great variety of cocktails, makes for a fun Friday night. The staff are always cheery and helpful, especially Ben who always makes...

This place was great. It was clearly fully booked and busy. The staff were super, very friendly and efficient. We had pad Thai, beef penang curry, crispy beef and coconut rice. All were presented beautifully and tasted delicious. A really pleasurable dining experience.

Our recent visit to Koh Thai was very good indeed. We have visited their Bournemouth restaurant precovid and were equally impressed. I’m a pad Thai fiend and this one is up there with the best. We had very good service from the team, special mention...

Unfortunately not what it used to be, very expensive and the service is very slow and inattentive. No sticky rice because the chef cannot do it which to me is insane as it is a Thai restaurant.

Enjoyed a very tasty meal here during our recent holiday. My duck in tamarind sauce was delicious. Restaurant was very busy and we didn’t have the best table with staff rushing past continually. Service a bit too quick so overall not a very relaxing evening.

We went to the Koh Thai on the 8th of September as per our reservation just to relax and enjoy a bit of time off just the girls. Our party of three was treated great by the waiting staff during our dinner, the food was...

We arrived at t his restaurant without a booking but the staff managed to fit us in even though they were very busy. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a lively vibe. The food was great, flavoursome, well cooked with good sized portions. Our...

Booked on advance as most places need. Food was delicious, I chose chicken pad Thai main and various sides to share, everyone enjoyed, well worth a visit if in the area

Four of us had cocktails and dinner. It was busy with a great atmosphere and we were very well looked after. Everything was delicious but the duck was our favourite. Strongly recommended.

Was so pleased to see this back open. Lovely new menu, food was piping hot and delicious. Service was excellent, all staff were really attentive especially our waiter Aston. We’ll be back!

The food is always absolutely delicious here, completely faultless! You MUST try the Pad Thai - it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the atmosphere they’ve created also, it’s perfect for any occasion. Special mention for our waiter Ben who catered to our...

We boked this place in advance of our trip after reading the reviews. It was a great find and our host Aston was so friendly and had great banter. It was really cosy with a great menu and selection of cocktails and drinks. Aston was...
