Richmond Thai Kitchen in Richmond upon Thames

The most delicious Thai restaurant! Every dish we have tried is perfect and nothing compares to it. We have been dreaming about eating here again ever since it closed and are constantly checking to see if it has reopened. Do you have an estimate of when this will be?

Please please reopen it. We need you back. I ordered pad thai and it was very good. The same as what I had in Thailand.

Nice ambiance, good food, friendly staff.

Great. I’ve only had one dish here but can affirm its excellent — had the pleasure of sitting outside on their terrace, and really loved it. The food was authentic and rich in flavours — the noodles were marked as very spicy but didn’t come across as such to my taste buds; rather, it had a nice tick of spice but not too hot. Service was great, I’d love to check the items on their lunch menu.

It Was very good. Great service and tasty food. We will return again.

Amazing Thai food with great service

Overpriced starter with unwashed vegetables, and they claimed as decoration no need to be cleaned. The seafood noodles is just poor. NOT proper Thai.

Such a real Thai restaurant. Good amount of food and a reasonable price.

Great food at a lovely welcoming local restaurant 🤤

Our first time to try Thai food restaurant in Richmond. The Thai omelette is not even a Thai omelette instead it’s just a fried eggs, the Thai lady is so depensive arguing with us and keep insisting it’s a Thai omelette. The food is not even tasty. Rude thai staff. I could give zero star on this restaurant. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Food quality and portion size but was good but service was quite slow and the waiter wasn't the most attentive

Burnt fried rice w an egg burnt on bottom, waited 50 minutes because the order was not turned in. Dine in. Fried rice was not edible. The other dish was chicken panaang and it was slightly warm. Flavor ok but not heat hot. The most disappointing restaurant on the hill based on a nine day stay to evaluate Richmond Hill restaurants, and hill atmosphere. Will return to this restaurant for an opportunity to have a better experience. Service poor, food poor. They can do better! Thanks.

I am a bit perplexed by the past reviews. Our mains were 50mins late, we arrived on an empty restaurant, the guys next to us came, ordered, ate, and left and we still had no mains. The portions are ridiculously small - 4 squid rings for one starter item and literally 2 spoons of salad for the other. Mains were bland and greasy, i had beef in mine, which was gamey. Overall the service was confusingly small, taste was bland (raw carrots thrown in the dishes), portions small. I wouldnt recommend it.

Great food. Friendly service. Visited on a Saturday evening - restaurant was busy with a good atmosphere. 5* .

The food was ok, but they do not serve food without MSG which I have a slight allergy to. I think that a good Thai restaurant should be able to create tasty dishes without adding this horrible chemical. They were quite understaffed when we went so the service was quite poor and they forgot one of our dishes. Overall, not great but not terrible.

We had to wait more than one hour for our mains to arrive. The food is not bad, but also nothing special. In my opinion this place is overrated.

Lovely food but as the name suggests, very basic and congested cafe ambience.

This place used to be great. The last two times dining there we’ve sat at the table for more than an hour with no food. Each time settled up early and left. Would avoid and search out one of the many great restaurants nearby

I had heard great things about this place so when my friend visited we decided to order a takeaway from here..so disappointing..really expensive, small portions and no flavour in food.

If you are looking for decent service this is not the place for you. We were patient for a very long time. We ordered some crackers just because we didn’t even receive our soup for 35 minutes. And somehow they managed to forget our main course until we asked about it. The folks who came in ten minutes after us and ordered after us were already half way through their main course. We don’t know what we did or didn’t do to receive such service. But if a restaurant cannot even have decent service, they should just be a takeaway. I don’t recommend this place.

Loved my evening spent in this brilliant independent restaurant. The decor inside is cute, the vibe is chilled and the food tastes great! If you’re after a relaxed experience and you don’t mind waiting (and trust me the food is worth the wait) make sure you check this place out. If you are an entitled Richmonder (and there’s a few) who expects to be treated like you’re at a Michelin star restaurant and your side job is complaining to staff… make a u-turn. My partner and I will be back very soon! Thanks for making our evening great x

Very tasty food in a lovely location

loved this place!!! great vegan drunken noodles and excellent service

The food is as good as when I visited Thailand, will be coming back here no questions asked! Great menu Great service. 6* if I could

This is the best Thai food I've had since being in Thailand Will be returning ALOT

I ordered the pad krapow, it’s extremely delicious, and the price is fair. Would recommend others to visit!

Wow! This place serves really authentic and excellent Thai food! So good and amazing. Hits all my spots when I'm missing SE Asia food. I'm home. Love every single dish we tried and everything was clean off! Will be a definite regular here even though this is a 40 mins drive for us. Worth the effort! 💯💯

Great local place with fresh Thai food. Their lunch menu is incredible value.

Very good food and very kind people Thank You

Delicious food, fantastic service and great ambiance. Satay chicken and panag curry were delicious! So was the Masaman curry!

Delicious and authentic Thai cuisine! The food is so good and there is plenty of choice on the menu that we have been back here a few times now. The only thing is that they don't do any desserts so if you were hoping for mango sticky rice then you will not find it here. I hope they add this to the menu one day!!

Very tasty authentic food. Food was fresh and served very quickly. Good portion size. Friendly staff. Reasonable price too. Will visit again.

Curries are great, especially the massamun curry with lamb shank was a hearthy dish

Nice food and clean and comfortable environment. Will come back again.

Been coming here for years. Prices have gone up a lot recently although food still the same decent Thai. No after dinner mints anymore, a tragedy.

Small portions, overpriced and no such extra traditional Thai menu as advertised on website.

Best Thai I’ve had. A new favourite in Richmond!

Great service. Excellent food. Recommend

I recommend this place for you!

Despite a deserved price increase, this place is still a treat to visit - the green curry is authentic, with proper pea aubergines etc. Service is very friendly - recommended

Excellent meal in a very busy restaurant. Nice and spicy. Just how I like it. Friendly helpful staff.

Frequent visitor here and always superb food, cooked freshly to order so expect a wait and it's a small kitchen so don't expect to receive orders at the same time for your group. Casual dining.

A lovely little thai cafe on Richmond Hill. The food is so authentic, good portions and reasonably priced (for Richmond!). The staff are frindly and warm. Dont forget if they say it is hot.... it is HOT!

Very friendly service and fantastic food. Had the Mee Gati and loved it very very much. Light, tasty and special. Jasmine tea was also amazing.

Very disappointed! Waiting for food 50min Small portions tom yum soup small container with box of rice 12£ that’s ridiculous, food very average definitely overpriced will not back for sure

Amazing Thai food, panang was great. This place has really well home made style Thai food that is not too heavy like some chains, as if your mother was Thai!

최고!! 이런음식만 있으면 한식이 생각나지 않을듯 해요

The food tasted nice. The service is good.

Best thai restaurant in London. Try the red curry seabass, you won't regret it.

Lovely little cafe, great service and gorgeous food. Will be going back to taste more.

Absolutely delicious meal. Service fantadtic . Definitely worth a visit , we will be returning 😊

Great evening meal with friends. Food was delicious. We got the Green Curry, Fish Gaprow and Red curry. All delicious and great portion sizes for the price. The staff were attentive and our server was very cute which is always a bonus.

The most plain Pad Thai I have ever had. The only plus was that the bit of Broccoli was fresh. Other than this, no utensils provided despite the request, no taste, no option to add tofu or chilli. Shame there was so little taste :-( Disappointed.

Food is great, offer the usual affair, but also trying to do things a bit different and offer some alternative options. It’s cosy, lovely to sit at the bottom of the hill and best of all has such friendly staff and service.

Best Thai food I have ever had outside of Thailand itself. Must try its an absolute gem absolutely delicious.

Really authentic Thai , great hospitality from the staff....everything freshly cooked. Can't ask for more.

I went for the chicken and cashew nut dish, It was absolutely phenomenal!!!! I can’t rate this place highly enough and will be going back very soon. Lovely location, fantastic friendly service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A great, cosy place, just at the bottom of Richmond Hill. The menu has a great selection of different dishes that aren't just the usual. The staff were very friendly.

Good Thai food in nice location

Amazing Massaman curry! Friendly staff and a wonderful family owned business type feel. I have recommended to all my friends and am planning to return to try the pad thai and pad makua too. YUM!

Were lucky to find this very nice place. Kind stuff, good service, delicious food and drinks. Will definitely go again when in Richmond.

Delicious Thai food. Very friendly Staff. I had the Drunken Noodles & Choo chee prawns.

The food is insane and the owners are so lovely and friendly! Everything that I have tried is really delicious, couldn’t recommend more. Please support them if you can during these difficult times, by getting a takeaway!

Ordered through Uber Eats this evening and left a note on the order asking for a can of coke as drinks were not on the menu. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a free can of coke with my order. Thank you very much. The food was delicious, we will definitely be a return customer.

Best Thai I've had in a long time, so glad we stumbled upon this place. Had the chicken satay, veg spring rolls, sausage, chicken green curry and beef stir fry. Yummy stuff!

I've lived in Richmond for 3 years now and I'm ashamed to say that I've only just discovered this fantastic restaurant. Food is top notch and owners incredibly friendly. This is definitely the best Thai food I've experienced outside of Thailand and I cant wait to try more dishes in the future. Thank you Thai Kitchen

Love the food, lovely and clearing staff, fresh food. Been there couple of times and quality of the food was always the same and good at the same time. Will be back for sure 👌 Thanks everyone who works in this place 🥰

Not great. Currys are a little tasteless and stir-fry also nothing special.

Very nice staff and excellent food. Not expensive.

Really poor. Took over an hour to even start making our starters. The woman who came in at the same time had finished her dinner and was leaving before they even started cooking on our starter. I asked the waiter if one of the traditional dishes comes with a soup and he just said look at the menu. Asked when our food is coming, the waiter just said, "yes, yes, yes I know". After an hour of waiting we just left. Spoilt our evening and wasn't really fair on my disabled daughter.

Great food. Despite living 5 mins walk to this Wonder Thai Kitchen, it was our first time. We were impressed with the hospitality and welcoming (despite needing to kept us outside for distancing, whilst waiting for the table, we were given nibbles, most hospitable). The menu is extensive. We tried starters and main courses and each one delivered an authentic Thai flavor, washed down with a Shang beer. Keep in mind the place is small and I truly recommend booking ahead. 2 tables outside for that lunch time special. Recommended

Very nice Thai food! Everything was delicious and on time! Recommended

Great tasting food, great price, lovely staff, great location.

Great food, good quality and reasonably priced wonderful local Thai cafe with lovely staff good

Went a few Sundays ago and the service and food were very good.

Authentic. Having travelled to Thailand scores of times over the past 25 years the food at Richmond Cafe on Richmond hill is on a par with some of the best there. I seek this place out whenever I'm in the Richmond area. Beware, closed Mondays! Reasonable prices reflect the slightly shabby (but clean) décor. Highly recommended.

Great delicious authentic Thai food served with friendly service.

Love the lunch menu here. Green curries, pad thai or stir fry options all for under £10

This is my best accidental find in Richmond. The good is very very tasty and it makes me smile every time . Service with a smile too . Thank you Richmond Cafe From Sarah & Colin x

Excellent food and great service

Delicious Thai food. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Thai food and really friendly service

Super friendly service and gorgeous food at very fair prices. There re reasons why this charming cafe / restaurant in a brilliant location has been in Richmond so long. A treat!

Really simple yet fresh and delicious food with seating outside. Lovely staff.

Lovely food served in fairly basic environment. Prices are very reasonable

Always lovely, traditional Thai food.

Brilliant Thai food, very affordable. After an excellent Thai lunch, walk up the hill to see the spectacular view. An affordable gem in Richmond.

Good quality, tasty food but restaurant a bit cold.

Basic but brill. No frills Thai dining. Honestly this is the best Thai in Richmond borough. I can’t overstate how much I like it.

Food is amazing although the restaurant itself is a little cold in winter.

Good value lunchtime menu, nice food, but the lunchtime vegetarian dishes do not include tofu despite being priced almost the same as chicken. Evening menu is better for vegetarians.

A little THAI cafe, a little way up on the slope of the hill. Outside seating. Worth a try.

Really delicious authentic Thai food and lovely staff. Feels like a secret spot on the hill that not everyone knows about! Best to sit outside or request a table by the window.

Wonderful and well priced food, absolutely lovely staff, couldn't have had a more lovely evening out! Highly recommend!

A little gem! Absolutely stunning authentic Thai food in cute cosy cafe. Highly recommend it for some great Thai food!!

There is a Thai menu at this restaurant and the food we tried was tasty and the portion just right. The staff is very polite and friendly.

A cozy place close to the Richmond Bridge. Serves a decent selection of Thai food. Portions are not too big but the quality of food is very good. Nicely seasoned and also can be adjusted to individual tastes. For example I don't like too spicy food so they made their red curry in a milder version just for me. Atentive and friendly staff. Note that this place is rather small, so booking in advance, especially for larger groups is highly recommended.

A regular place to visit when in Richmond. Really good value for money. Great food. Friendly staff.

One of the best place in Richmond to eat an autentic Thai. The food is delicius and light. Quality - price excellent! You must to try.

Staff are very friendly and the curry was great!!
