Maekong Thai in Bromsgrove

Fantastic experience, as usual! Very friendly welcome and brilliant food. We love the tom yum soup, and the Thai green curry is the best I've had. Highly recommend

Visited today with a friend. Enjoyed the lunch, no complaints there. We were in rather a hurry to get back to the car park and didn’t realise the amount we paid was higher than expected. I later rang to question why there was a discrepancy between the menu price and the receipt. I was informed that a surcharge had automatically been added (without our consent). A refund was offered but it would mean time wasted returning, cost of petrol and parking so I just informed the woman that we would not be returning in future. I find this practice of sneaking in a surcharge without giving customers an option is highly unprofessional.

Well, I don't know how can you manage to make Thai food bland, but somehow they managed. I'm a vegetarian, so maybe it's because they don't use fish sauce with vegetarian food? I don't know. Just speculating here. It's not like I'd want them to add fish sauce to my meal, but I'm sure you can make nice Thai food and still keeping it vegetarian. I had tofu skewers, which had just one tiny piece of tofu in them, with the rest vegetables. Well, although a bit disappointing, not bad in theory, but it was probably the blandest meal I had literally in years. It came with some tiny side of satay sauce, which again was totally bland. I mean - how?? It's satay sauce - how can you make it bland?? Then I had the vegetarian pad Thai, which was literally so bland, I had to ask for them to bring me seasoning and add things to it just to be able to swallow it. I don't think I'd be able to eat it otherwise. I also had the mock duck with veggies, which was ok, I guess, but definitely not stellar. I mean, I can certainly do better myself at home than that. My friends who were all having meat dishes seemed to be satisfied, but I don't know. I certainly won't be back, that's for sure. Very disappointing. Probably my worst restaurant visit in many a year.

We walked into the restaurant to be greeted by a miserable owner I presume Ordered chicken starter which was dry and overcooked Main meal was Thai green curry that was full of fat and no body to the sauce Over cooked prawns and overcooked beef avoid at all cost Had the bill and tried to charge us a service charge absolutely disgusting food

Ordered for my Grandmas 80th Bday for lots of people. Man who delivered the food was lovely, and service was on time. Food was tasty and everyone enjoyed it. It was well presented for a takeaway. Thank you!

Abousulty love Thai food but it's rare you find a decent one. Having moved from London just a couple of months ago I was hesitant it would be any good. How wrong was I! It far suppassed expectations. Lovely family run business, in the middle of Bromsgrove high street. Now been twice in one week 🙈, cause tbh we can't get enough. Defo 5 stars all around.

The very best restaurant opinion Bromsgrove! Great staff, caring and knowledgable...fresh cooked food...amazing!

We come to Pedmore to visit my sister twice a year and always enjoy visiting Meakong Thai. We can only recommend it and would love to come back!

Met here for a meal with family and friends as part of our holiday. Service was attentive and friendly. Of the nine diners we all enjoyed our meal and would (likely will) return in the future. My only slight criticism is that the dishes seemed to be lacking chilli heat, so I would ask for the dishes to be livened up a bit if you like a bit of a kick. Overall a very pleasant place.

Last minute booking for a Saturday evening, lovely little place and managed to park right outside ! Staff very attentive and served us with drinks and we decided on the banquet for 2 , a selection of starters which we mouth watering , followed by 5 dishes including rice . We asked to upgrade the rice to coconut rice for which there was a very small extra charge which was fine. The ladies that served us were friendly and attentive there was also a lovely atmosphere too. A great little Thai restaurant which I’d highly recommend 💕

Popped out to this tie for a little bit of tea as a last minute thought was able to park right outside the premises. We booked a table for two people at 8 o’clock and swiftly served with drinks, followed by Thai crackers which were plentiful. We then ordered our food we plumped for the set meal for two people at £24,50 per head. I feel is very good value for money. The set mail consisted of four main dishes, a vegetable dish and of course rice which we switched up for coconut rice for about an extra pound so we had beef and ginger Thai mixed vegetables, sweet-and-sour pork, coconut, rice, chicken, Thai curry, coconut rice the food was plentiful and delicious. We only small negative was they add a service charge of 10% onto your bill of which I didn’t pay as you do get the choice all in all a great little Thai restaurant with parking facilities right outside the front door we were in and out within the hour was ideal for a quick bit 50 quid for a couple cheap night out and some lovely food would recommend this to anyone if visiting Bromsgrove give this place ago while worth a visit

Had the lunchtime two course set menu. We have been here many times over the years. It always used to be a tasty, good value restaurant but this meal was really poor. The soup starter was served in a small bowl and was bland. The two Red Thai curries were tasteless, lacking in any flavour. It should have been called a grey Thai curry, it was like dish water. Very disappointing. The last couple of visits have been underwhelming but this was the worst. Then without warning they add a 10% service charge which I refused to pay. The is the last time we will be coming here! Shame, it used to be so good!

Lovely place to eat, great service, great vegetarian options and well presented, definitely eat there again 😋

Excellent in all areas. Highly recommended. The lunch time menu is exceptionally good value.

Just ate here and wasn’t disappointed. Really beautiful food and lovely staff, we will be back x

Visited May 2024 for an evening meal mid-week. We didn’t book but were fine for a table. The food was good and the service friendly. However, the 10% service charge notches up what is already a fairly pricey meal. A set meal for 2, plus 1 beer and 1 soft drink topped £70.00 with the service charge. I do understand that with card being the main method of payment nowadays, the hospitality sector probably gets less tips than they once did when people paid cash. However, I would opt to still leave a cash tip if it warranted and whenever I see a service charge I think it’s unnecessary, especially for a table of 2.

We came here for the first time last night and wasn’t disappointed. The food was amazing, fresh, tasty and arrived at the table piping hot! Friendly atmosphere and clean. Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming back.

Having had an excellent meal three months ago, tonight was disappointing. Cant fault the service but the food was disappointingly average especially given the price.

Our favorite Thai restaurant for miles. Traditional dishes, service with a smile and takeaway if you don't fancy eating in.

Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Car parking less than a minute's walk away too.

Always great food here! Wish they put slightly more prawns in the pad Thai. Will keep coming here

Our first time here for around 10 years and it was a little disappointing. The downstairs is pleasant enough unlike the upstairs which has no atmosphere at all but the food is mediocre at best . The squid starter was very bland and cooked in what appeared to be chip shop batter , the mixed seafood could have come from Farm Foods and all mains were a little too hot to compensate for a lack of flavour. It will be at least another 10 years before we return.

Food always good and the service,but the manager need's to cheer up.

Lovely food, staff always makes you feel special.

Starter and main food no way near Thai food We ordered starter and two main meals Starter was squid with onion rings. Absolutly awfull taste, cooked in very old oil and very oily. I think squid was even fresh, all frozen.My wife tried 2 Sticks and I one and we asked to sent back. I thought we havent complain at all with doors, sometimes it doesnt happen to make it. We waited for mains. We had chef special fish and my Green Curry with sea food. Fish was cooked also in very old oil, like fish and chips style and they add masaman souce. It was ok but nothing special, no way near some other thai restaurants do the same meal. My green curry was horrible and no way near green Currys, you get 100 times better meal form Morrisons . Well , I said sometimes happens, but worse about it, owners came around and we explain how food was awfull and she brought full receipt I gave to pay, we had half starter and i only taste source of Green curry as I dont like it. We have explain for ages how the food is not thai restaurant, I know you can call it. We have plenty other thai restaurants around and we dine there, we even been i Thailand. And we love thai food. I didnt want to pay for Green curry and starter but she still asked us to pay for starter or Green curry as option. I said i will pay fort starter and rest but not Green curry, but you definetly not having us back. Owner very rude My sugestion if you love Thai food dont go there.

Good selection of lunch menu set with reasonable portion and price. You get to choose one starter and one main. Good food and good ambience. Service was good.

Pleasant restaurant. Good service and, value.

The staff don't know what's on the menu or even what's included in your meal. And uf you want a drink, best to look what's in the shelf yourself because the menu is well out if date and staff are under knowledged.

Food is excellent and fresh ingredients. We were seated upstairs which was a very bland area lacking atmosphere.

I was looking forward to my Thai meal with my Thai daughter in law but we left a little disappointed. The older lady that served us seemed grumpy and pushy for us to order .The meal was not as good as the last time we visited .I went to the toilet and on my return my tai daughter in law seemed upset , she said the same lady was pushing her to finish and leave the table . My daughter in law asked if she needed the table but apparently not . We were going to stay for a sweet but we felt we should leave . We didnt understand as the restaurant was not busy . Shame .

Some absolutely beautiful food. I really don’t need to say anymore, it was delicious and made our family celebration for my wife’s birthday perfect.

Just had another good meal here . Can't fault it .

Prompt and friendly service, good range of menu and helpful recommended choices (set options). Two of us chose menu b which contained generous portions of several dishes. Good value and a pleasant atmosphere

Tasty food expensive for what you get beef peanut curry short on beef content service charges added to bill without asking

Great food. Good Value. Great Service. Immaculate inside.

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I can not recommend it more highly. Arrived at 7.15pm on a Tuesday evening, it is a lovely place to eat chat and relax. Authentic Thai food.

Yet again a lunchtime walk in table for 2 was no problem. Service was as always excellent. The lunchtime menu is extensive enough to cater for most tastes. Superb value for money!

We had jungle curry,it was awful the chicken was tasteless think it had just been thrown in,it was no better having a oxo cube with a few chillies in,I asked for a beer they gave me the most expensive one on the list £7.00..it was so noisy in there you couldn't hear what anyone was saying on our table. Needless to say we won't be going back & why put something so awful on the menu It was money for old rope & to top it off 10 per cent service charge it wasn't worth.

A friend and I were recommended to come here. The food is delicious and the lady who served us was lovely. The prices are reasonable and the portions are just right.

Absolutely fantastic food and setting, brilliant staff. 4 of us ate three course meals, everyone enjoyed and left feeling full and happy.

Having eaten here many times in the last 8 years, and will continue to do so, we still really enjoy the food here. We find that every time we have eaten here, the food has been hot and full of flavour, and usually great portion sizes. However, since our last visit, we have noticed a (guesstimate) 25/30% reduction in portion sizes. The serving bowl and plate sizes have been reduced, and there seems to be 60/70% veg in the dishes. We fully understand that most likely the portion sizes have been reduced to keep the prices stable, but I felt it needed to be mentioned. We have never had a bad meal here, even when it has been full and customers have been attending for takeaways. We have also never experienced bad service. Would recommend.

I was pleased to see variety for vegetarians but ordered tonight and it was a huge disappointment. Tofu satay skewers only had one piece of tofu each and unflavoured veg with a tiny pot of satay sauce that was the blandest I've tried. Also had a tofu pad thai with barely any tofu and zero flavour. So much so, I had to add flavours in order to eat it.

Brilliant service awesome food … and I had great company

We have eaten here many times over the years, both at lunchtime service and evenings , the food has always been fantastic quality and extremely tasty, we have eaten at many Thai restaurants all over the country and this family owned one easily holds it own alongside the more well known ones, top quality food , great service, we will always go back, which we are in July 👍🏻

Having been to Thailand many times, I feel I know my way around a menu and the authenticity of authentic Thai taste. When the menu is so poorly presented you have to google what the food is, it’s a pretty bleak start. It can only improve? Wrong. The food was served, it was small in portion size, lacking in taste and overly expensive for what it was. Couple that in with waiters who must have asked a dozen times if we were finished while still eating, and wanting to take plates away left an overall experience that will not be repeated. 4 small beers, 4 starters and 4 mains, (no prawns or extra cost items) with one ‘urn’ of boiled rice - £128 . We ended up having supper when we got home.

Food spicy but not unpleasantly hot. Excellent value for money. Staff very pleasant. They don't try to push you to order more alcohol every time they pass your table as some restaurants do. All in all a nice pleasant restaurant. Will be making return visit soon.

After looking at trip advisors review we tried this restaurant out ( not knowing Bromsgrove) genuine Thai owner and staff - Pleasant staff but food a bit disappointing . Chicken was very dry in the dish we had - just couldn't eat it all.

Best place to eat in Bromsgrove by far. Authentic food. Beautiful plants throughout restaurant. Friendly service.

Brilliant great food friendly staff

Best Thai restaurant by far and lovely staff too the food is amazing

as a party of 11 we were very well looked after, the food was incredible. Authentic Thai dishes superbly cooked. Will definitely be returning very soon.

Fantastic Meal , Service very good .

Cold meals returned then lukewarm meals returned and no apologies. Charged full amount. Certainly won’t be returning here 👎

Excellent restaurant reminded me of when I lived in Thialand, food cooked and served by Thia's, which made it really authentic, superb 👌

Food not that good , compared to other thai restaurants i have been too . drinks also very dear . Would not go again .

Excellent food - always delivers service and Thai food of the highest standard. Really friendly. Great for occasions. Love it!

What a fantastic restaurant-the food is absolutely amazing. Can’t fault a single thing here from service to quality and location. Will definitely be coming back here. Lots of seating as well! Well worth the visit with some friends today.

Loved the quality of food. Great attention to flavour and presentation. Want to go back again soon!

Have been coming here for 20 years or more, since it opened. Never disappointed, I have always had great food and excellent service. So glad it is still busy and doing well.

Went there for dinner with a couple of friends, the food is really good, the service is great and very quick I recommend this place

Delicious food at great prices. We had the set menu for 2 people, and there was a huge amount of food, great value. Lovely staff, great service. Highly recommend.

I have eaten a lot of Thai food over the years from various restaurants and this has to be the worst I have ever had. Usually Thai food is reliable. This was tough chicken, tasteless dishes, not the right number of sauces presented with starters, watery sauces, horrible. A total waste of money. I really was horrible food!

THE best food in Bromsgrove bar none. Wish I could eat here every day. 5 years on still absolutely superb. I'd eat here every day if I could

Really good Thai food, very friendly and warm atmosphere. Very much enjoyed our meal. Tip: park at the waitrose nearby as no street parking most of the time.

This is our favourite family restaurant. We have been coming here since it opened and have never had a bad dining experience. The staff are always friendly and efficient. As for the food- always perfect. There is plenty of choice on the menu and it is well cooked and well presented.

fast service. Hot tasty fresh food . Very pleasant staff would highly recommend. Restaurant was full which is always a good sign. Would definitely return .

Relaxed atmosphere, standard Thai menu served efficiently

Great meal, large group of us went there, great staff. Great food. Drinks were a little bit much

Expensive but wow, fabulous food and fabulous service. Would definitely return here as a special treat

Nice ,but everything had chilli

Excellent food and excellent service. Highly recommend

Best food for miles. An excellent dining experience

I was looking forward to eating here but the food just wasn’t up to scratch. Mixed starters were mainly deep fried and not tasty. Red curry and Massaman Curry were hard to differentiate between, both of which were very average. Overall I would describe the food as bland and lacking freshness.

We did not enjoy our take away experience from this restaurant. It wasn’t cheap at over £60 for 3 people. The fish cake starter had an odd texture and taste we couldn’t eat them. The print rolls were soggy and lacked favour. My sweet & sour prawns sadly had not been separated out into sauce and prawns. As they come in a light batter obviously being in the sauce they had gone very soggy they were unpleasant. Every other Thai we’ve been to separates them out. Two people has chicken dishes and described the chicken as rubber. We wont go there again. Maybe its better if you eat ion and everything is served fresh. Very disappointed.

Fantastic food with great service

Excellent service great all round food was delicious

Food was wonderful. All tasted fresh and portion size good. We had the sharing starter and set menu which was perfect for 2 people

Had takeaway and the food was very tasty also the staff are very lovely and catered to all needs would recommend :)

We waren met z'n vijfen en ook vijf verschillende gerechten. We hebben gedeeld, alle gerechten waren over heerlijk. Op zoek naar heerlijk Thais eten dan is deze locatie super goed. Een echte aanrader.

Chance find. Excellent food and atmosphere

Lovely dishes and friendly service.

It was our first time here and we will be going back again the service was really good and the food was superb i had the sizzling duck and it was lovely .

We love this restaurant, all the food is fantastic, we had the shared meal for 4 persons. Starter and main was very good, the staff are great. We'll worthwhile

Friendly, authentic, great value and portion size for Thai food. We loved it! Will definitely be going back soon. Recommend the chicken and prawn toast parcels - their fried stuff is all so light and crispy and the pad thai had a delicious sauce with crunchy fresh vegetables

Top notch food reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Every time we come to this restaurant we always have a great meal. the staff are so friendly and welcoming and the food is Fab, This time as there was 7 of us we have the set menu D which had a bit of everything...

Excellent service and food, would highly recommend green Thai curry, was authentic and fresh, will be coming again for sure!

The food is pretty great, the service also pretty great.

Absolutely the best Thai food I've ever had in the UK. Great ambiance friendly staff. Can. It fault this establishment

I went with friends for my birthday. We had a lovely meal , with carved vegetables. The staff were super and very professional.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, We chose the food including the platter starter which cost £8.25 each so for 2 was £16.50. This was deffinately well over priced. So be warned this is an EXPENSIVE restaurant to go to. The mains were reasonably priced...

First time here. Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff. The Ladies could not do enough to make our evening special. We are pretty new to Thai food so after discussion with the staff, we opted for meal for 2 people (B), Wow! Tastes were brilliant,...

Superb food at an excellent price. The satay and rice dishes were particularly incredible. Service was excellent and extremely polite - would thoroughly recommend!

Gorgeous food and fabulous service

I really love this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is always fresh and perfectly cooked. I have always had beautiful food here.

Amazing staff, beautiful food. Will eat here again. Highly recommended.

I love the food and the service here, have been going there for years, I've always enjoyed the visit and the staff are lovely. My only gripe is it could be updated a little to make it more cosy, the chairs need better cushioning.

I recommend the fried fish. I like this restaurant which one of few sit-in far eastern restaurants in the area. My one suggestion scale back the garnish (cabbage and carrot) with each dish. Much of this must go in the bin.
