Little Monkey in North Hertfordshire

Amazing food and the service is always great. A tiny gem in Hitchin that I would definitely recommend!

We had a takeaway for 4 which came to over £70 for 4 dishes plus 2 extra rice. We're not local and I thought this was very expensive. I had the Weeping Tiger, which was a piece of beef cut into chunks with 3 lettuce leaves and two cherry tomatoes. The meat was tender but had no flavour in itself and there was a pot of very hot sauce (designated 1 chilli!) My husband had Angry Cow which was unusual minced beef. OK but nothing special Little Monkey. Also quite spicy we thought for 1 chilli. Quack Quack was OK. 3 of the dishes were just under £18.00 each. Quite a lot for takeaway street food

For such a small establishment, it packs a warm touch, the food was amazing, with the presentation being 10/10 and the service by staff was very pleasant and friendly, if ever in the Hitchin area again. Will definitely visit again.

Great service, very welcoming. Lovely fresh food with balanced flavours. The Pad Kee Mao noodles had a great spicy kick, succulent prawns and lots of nice vegetables. I’ll be back.

Consistently excellent. Great food, friendly and quick service. Will be back again soon

Really good food, great service, highly recommend!

Everything is delicious! My new favourite restaurant in the area.

The food is incredible, great service. Owners really kind and thoughtful too. Cannot recommend more this authentic Thai restaurant!

Delicious food and very affordably priced for the lunchtime menu!

Great little Thai restaurant and takeaway

Myself and my two girls are regular ladies who lunch at little monkey. Everything on the menu is delicious. We walk past it every day and it smells soooooo good it is hard not to stop in.

Really liked the menu... lots of interesting choices. We had a takeaway with friends and had a tasty sharing starter platter. The main courses were all good, some of them quite hot, but yummy. Would happily have another takeaway or try eating in.

I absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and authentic and the service was brilliant. It’s a small but lovely restaurant, feels personal and cozy. I highly recommend trying this place out, I will definitely be going again!

Have eaten in this restaurant numerous times and each time the food and service is excellent. Definitely our favourite restaurant in Hitchin

Food and service were 5 star. Will defo go again

Delicious food, will be coming back

We dined in on a Wednesday lunchtime. The reception was helpful and charming. The food beautifully cooked and presented without delay. It has the atmosphere of a very well managed place, an extensive menu offering all that is good in this wonderful tradition. For what it’s worth a return visit is being arranged!

This is my favourite place for lunch. The food is always delicious. 🤤

Fantastic food in the evening and a pleasant intimate atmosphere. Very informal

Would of given more if only you would of used your initiative and split a table you lost 2 sales Shame, but I will be back hopefully I will get a table next time

Longest wait for take out and completely ignored. I know busy, but still if the place wants you to come back….make the effort to acknowledge a paying customer who has a young family and just wants there take out in under an hour! They said 50 mins on the delivery note !

Service and food was lovely! We had the set lunch menu. Very good value for money

Been here multiple times, authentic Thai food with excellent service , always serve you with the biggest smile. One of my favourite in Hitchin!

Just had the set lunch menu. There was a fab selection at a great price and everything was utterly delicious. The Tom Kha was perfect. Highly recommend and we will look forward to coming here again.😋

Good, reasonably-priced small Thai restaurant with great service. Recommended!

This is a street food restaurant , It only has 8 tables so we got there early. The food is cooked in front of you and served piping hot. My husband had the soup and it comes hot and spicy. I had the chicken wings and there were 6 pieces. I had to share them with my husband. We had a green curry and that too was spicy but delicious. If you want real Thai this is the place.

This is a fantastic restaurant! Best Thai food ever!

My first time trying Thai Food in Hitchin at Little Monkey. What a fantastic experience. Staff were very nice, warm & friendly. We ordered food for a group of 10 people and we were all amazed at the quality and variety and freshness of the food. Very tasty, enjoyable an explosion of pure deliciousness in your mouth. Everyone was very happy. Would definitely recommend this Restaurant and the Food. Very authentic dishes. Next time I’m back in Hitchin Little Monkey will definitely be my go to number one Restaurant. We all loved the food that much we didn’t have time to take photos.

Superb Pad Thai Prawn, spicy Thai crisps to die for. Always super friendly and great value for money. Quality can’t be surpassed

So good! Fantastic little lunch menu

Great food if you're prepared to wait. Unfortunately the restaurant does not offer delivery, it's collection only.. the other downside being that whenever they give a collection time it's always 20-30 minutes later. Not great when you've already driven to collect.

Little Monkey serve the best Thai food outside of Thailand. The staff are brilliant and friendly especially Jen. I have not had a sit down meal but it is always busy which evidences how good the food is. You med to try it out!

Great food, good service. Eveything tastes very good

Awesome food! Pork belly with veg, egg and rice sooo good! Pad Thai is good as well! Well balanced flavours to both dishes. This place will be my go-to Thai in Hitchin from now on. Thank you!

Ate here for the first time a little while back and even as I walked up to collect my takeaway lunch, I was treated to a hit of wonderful aromas. I had the Pork Belly Bonfire. It was amazing. The pork was delicious and had a nice crispy top to it. The sauce just smacks you in the face with full explosion of flavour. The accompanying vegetables are really well cooked and the rice was perfect. The ingredients taste really fresh and the flavours are really incredible. I have not been to Thailand but love Thai food and this is the best I have had. I was given a free can of drink to accompany my meal. The staff were really nice and polite. Will be coming back again and again. Thank you for a delicious lunch.

awesome place, big up little monkey

Cozy restaurant that serves great food! Our go to for Thai food locally.

Great place and food. You can’t go wrong with Little Monkey

Really enjoyed the spicy noodle soup!

One of the best places to eat in hitchin. Everything we have tried on this menu has been amazing. Lunch deal is great too and you don't feel stuffed after. It is a small place so it's got a more sit down and go atmosphere. There was a kids menu too. Staff are very friendly even accommodated and gave our boy ice cream even though they didn't have a pudding menu (which they don't need)

Have eaten in this restaurant a number of times and are never disappointed. The service and the food are always superb. There's even Thai wine to accompany the meal. Will definitely be back

Great little Thai place! The food is yummy and the service is great! I wish they would open a bit earlier in the evening, say 4.30pm? Pretty please! :)

Everything here is fresh and top quality. One time I got there too early for my takeaway they said to pop to the pub and then they would bring the food around! Best customer service ever! Love it

Best authentic thai restaurant Ive ever been to! Service is 10/10 the food is 10/10 and also the staff & owners are the loveliest/kindest people ! Can’t recommend enough ☺️

Great lunchtime set menu, good value 😋 Friendly staff. Best real Thai food around

Great restaurant, love the WhatsApp chicken

Amazing food every time , so delicious and fresh, by far the best Thai food iv ever tasted

Positives: the people here are the real deal - Thai people making nice dishes, almost entirely authentic. Negatived: if you order drinks, they serve the drinks at the same time as the food. So, if you order wine or beer, this can sometimes be 30 minutes. Even if you ask them for the drinks to be served earlier, it doesn’t happen. My main gripe with the food, is that they often served red curry with bell pepper - this is absolutely not authentic Thai. And the menu, it’s tinkered with way too often. Just keep it simple. I love it here. I just wish they stuck to their true Thai authenticity and kept things a little more simple. Krab!

This was our first takeaway from Little Monkey. It was absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be having another from there. Highly recommend.

Very very authentic Thai food. Delicious!

Couple dining out Great menu. Fantastic tasty food. Good service. Had one of our best Thai meals there. Salt and pepper squid, chicken wings, breadcrumb prawns for starters. Bonfire pork belly and 3 musketeers triple curry for mains. All lovely. Only negative for us was we sat at the front by the window and seemed to get choked by what must have been the fumes from cooking. Chillis maybe.

Best Thai food I've had in a long time. We had tempura prawns, crispy squid and ribs to start, was so good we were licking our fingers! Then the triple curry and pork belly with holy basil, everything was so tasty. And so reasonably priced. Will def be going back, hopefully every week 😁

Excellent in every way ..." smburn"

Seriously TOP Beef Massamam wow wow WOW! They were very nice for my friend on her birthday and brought her ice cream at the end of the meal. Squid for starter was also delicious. I ate too many chillis trying to prove I was a MAN to my friends though haha. So painful. Great meal THANKS!

The best food in Hitchin! Amazing food every single time.

This is my favourite place to eat in town! Food is fresh and delicious and the staff are excellent! 5 Stars!

Amazing food, the prawn toast is the best ever! The chicken pad thai and pineapple rice was also outstanding. Lovely, friendly staff. We will be back!

The food was amazing, very authentic. Good value for money. Friendly staff and fast service. I can’t wait to return soon.

The food is absolutely delicious, prawn toast the best ever, green curry and ginger tofu just amazing fresh flavours. It would be good to have more vegetarian options as we could only find a couple on the menu.

The food was simply amazing when it can as service was a bit slow and it was super cold as the front door was open throughout the entire time. But the staff were really friendly and polite and again all the food we ordered was delicious. On par with some of the best Thai restaurants in London for taste. I would definitely go back and recommend them.

I bought takeaway tonight nothing were Thai authentic. The chicken green curry tasted too much fragrance, som tum was blend and not hot. The jasmine rice was stodgy. I had little portions and the rest were wasted. I cook thai food but fancied takeaway tonight. Very disappointed and cost a lot too.

Fantastic place. Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended

Unbelievable place to eat, always amazing service and food never ceases to be amazing. Would recommend having a meal here all day every day

They were very kind and the food was delicious! As a very picky eater even I found it amazing. Their new menu was great!

Lunchtime menu and especially the massaman curry are a complete steal. Staff are friendly, efficient and pleasant.

Tasty food and great service. Particularly enjoyed the noodles and the spring rolls. The place is nice but the smell of cooking is quite strong since the kitchen is at the entrance without proper ventilation. Nevertheless, I would definitely go back

The absolute best Thai I've EVER had. You will not be disappointed. Golden Belly Pork is my favourite

I’m a local. Have eaten here many times and the food is always great. As close to being in Thailand as I’ve got in the UK. Try it!

Booked table for 4 asked if they had room for pram as one guest has newborn, yes no problem, asked for contact number which I gave, we were all so looking forward to our lunch date, however when we arrived the place was locked up with a note on door saying they’d gone away for a short break!!! Well why take my booking ??? If it was an emergency you had my contact details would have been nice to be informed 😡 Four us travelled from way outside the area to come here as a central meet up point, so didn’t want to waste the day, we found another Thai restaurant over the road who could accommodate us at short notice, we had a wonderful time and food and the service was 5star

Very good food on set price lunch menu. My prawn curry excellent. My friend's massaman beef very good too. Only 3 stars for atmosphere as seating outside is on a very noisy road and inside is rather basic

Lovely food, would definitely go back!

Exceptional but casual. Amazing food and service, a must visit.

Lovely food, friendly service - really pleased we found this place! Tiny place so good to have an option to eat outside. We will try the takeaway option next - I imagine it’s very popular. Really liked this place.

Very authentic Thai! The food tasted unbelievably fresh, as Thai often does, but this was next level. The flavours were immaculate. If I was rich enough, I'd probably eat here every day. 🤤

Converted from a little sandwich bar this resturant only has 6 tables and feels more like a Cafe than a resturant, but don't let this put you off because the food is fabulous. Cooked in front of you in an open kitchen the smells sure get the taste buds going. The food tastes so fresh and a great choice too. It has gone straight into my top 5 places to eat in Hitchin.

Such amazing authentic Thai food. The smell of the restaurant when I walked in to collect my food took me straight back to my travels in Asia. Beef massaman was incredible. The place is nicely furnished too so will definitely be booking a table at some point in the near future!

Great authentic Thai flavours. They were happy to discuss vegan options and help us choose what to have.

We used to eat here every week - the food isn’t what it was.

Friendly welcome, beautiful food. Great value Lunch offers.

Such a cute little place and food is always so tasty and fresh - becoming a fave haunt. Thank you!

Food is so good new dish's added must try them all working my way through the menu so good don't know what to have next but happy with whatever I have good service and the price is so good will be going more often well try to! You will enjoy whatever you have .

Great little restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Lunchtime atmosphere is that of your family run local staple. Love it and back frequently

The best food in Hitchin! Will always come back here, Always fresh and the staff are great people. From Lewis

Excellent tasting food, good portions, really friendly staff, I would highly recommend as I go on a regular basis at least twice a week.

Lunch deal is amazing value and absolutely delicious

We popped in for dinner last night, we shared the chicken satay to start, I had the drunken noodles for main and my fiancé had the pad Thai. Not only was it great value, the food was absolutely delicious. Miles ahead of other Thai restaurants in the area. The service was super friendly and attentive. 10/10 would recommend and will be going again

Really good fresh tasting Thai food served by friendly staff. Great little place, will be back

Fantastic food and very friendly staff, I would highly recommend 5 star.

Delicious freshly cooked Thai food, enjoyed a lovely evening here.

was disappointed with food , really bland and basic not what I was expecting- service also not great as they were so busy with take aways

We recently dined in a second time for lunch after our first experience was so good. Cannot fault the food, it's fantastic. Best tom yum soup I've had. Excellent value for money and great service.

We were excited to visit last Wednesday. The lunchtime menu offered great value for 2 courses and a drink and gave us the fabulous reminder of the fresh tastes and aromas of Thailand on a cold winter's day . Highly recommended!

Truly amazing. The weekly set menu is the best deal in Hitchin. Outside of the weekly promo, this is still affordable, great quality, super tasty and a very loyal representation of what you get in Thailand.

Nice little restaurant with great food at a reasonable lunchtime price for the set menu

Fantastic food, really friendly staff and I can't get over how good the food was. Can't wait to go back again!

Booked for a birthday supper. First table was in a very cold corner ( we didn’t want to eat wearing coats) so asked if we could move to one of the other empty tables. We were moved, not knowing that we would then be asked to pay and leave after 1hr 10 mins ! Quickest £120 we’ve spent! Surely they should have said we couldn’t have the table for the usual 1 1/2 - 2hours ? Food okay - but evening spoilt. Doubt if we will be back.

Really good authentic food with lovely service. Thai food as it should be.

The som tum (well, and all the other things we tried tonight) was amazing! Excellent customer service from lovely, friendly people. A gem of a takeaway and family-run restaurant 💖

Food is just amazing here, great service

Delicious lunch. Fresh and beautifully presented and served by a lovely waitress. Thank you for having us today
