Sam Thai in Sefton

Arrived late for lunch but they welcomed us in and said they were more than happy to accommodate us. Service was amazing, polite and courteous. We had one gluten free and one vegan and could accommodate us both. Food was amazing, portions were a good size. Would definitely recommend and will be going back 👌

Was in Southport for one night and fancied Thai food, The food was authentic, delicious and well prepared. The staff were fantastic, friendly and welcoming, an absolute pleasure!!! Highly recommend

Delicious food, excellent value for money and absolutely outstanding customer service. Always an absolute pleasure to dine here - highly recommended 😊

I don’t really like putting bad reviews on public forums, but seeing that the food at this restaurant was so bad, I’m not going to keep quiet. We had a terrible meal, this was the most bland thai food we have ever eaten. One of the most important ingredients in Thai food is fish sauce. You cannot make a thai curry or stir fry without it. Our meals were totally lacking in it. I don’t even think there must be a bottle in the restaurant. Starters were bland, the pork was bland, there was no flavour apart from pork. The satay sauce tasted like it had come out of a supermarket bottle and bernwatered down. My husbands salt and pepper ribs were flavourless. My main meal lacked garlic, fish sauce and must have had a maximum of two basil leaves in. The liquid was pale and watery. My husbands paneng curry lacked garlic, fish sauce, ginger, lime and basil. He ate his meal as he was really hungry, and said it was underwhelming. I taste it and it tasted like sweet coconut with chicken in The serving staff ask how our food was and didn’t comment when they went to clear my full uneaten meal. I had to tell the waitress that I hadn’t eaten it because it was horrible. We asked for the bill, and it was brought to us without question. The owner didn’t come over to find out what was wrong with the food. I went over to her to tell her that it was awful and that I wasn’t paying for my meal and still she didn’t want feed back about what was wrong with it. I deducted £10 and she told me she had new staff. She tried to give me 10% discount on our next meal which i declined as I would obviously never go back. Avoid, avoid avoid.

Today I visited Southport and fancied some Thai food so I put my trust into Sam Thai. My soup arrived in a small bowl, only filled half way raw mushrooms and baby tomatoes floating on top. Other plate on the side had rotten salad leaves from pre-packaged bag. Carrot shreds were old n dried up. When asking the waitress why she has brought me rotten salad pieces she calmly replied that it is for decoration only and I don't need to eat it while walking away despite me wanting it off my table.😐 Not going there again.

First time here as we have our favourites in Southport but thought we would try something different. Love Thai although don't have one locally. We were passing during the day hence called in to take a look and confirm our booking. Nice touch as asked Sam if we could have a table in the window and sure enough that was reserved for us later. Menu was nice and varied with something for all hence shared our starters and mains which were all good. Drinks and wine list is not extensive but fine apart from the draft Singha was no longer available. Worthy of note however were the staff who were all very attentive and helpful and made us feel very welcome with our ten year old. Service was good even though there was a large birthday party upstairs. Could well be that this will become one of our go to places in Southport!

Following trip advisor reviews had to try this restaurant having tried another nearby Thai restaurant that is excellent. Well Sam Thai proved excellent in terms of quality of food, taste, portion size and ambience. Beers ice cold and good service. 6 of us all with different starters and mains. Too full for Desserts but those that did loved it. Well recommended and will return soon.

We hadn't booked, but the friendly waitress was happy to fit us in, unlike Prezzo down the road which was pretty empty, but hey. Their loss and Sam Thai's gain. I had the drunken noodle, which was really tasty. Spicy but not too much. Other meals were tasty too. Reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Went with a family off 4 ! Great little restaurant everyone was really happy with started and main meals quality Thai food and even the tiger. Beers were freezing cold always a bonus will definitely go again highly recommend👍🏻

We have visited in person and not been disappointed. However the takeaway we ordered was poor and small portions. Wouldn't order again.

Got there late after the show, it didn’t matter they still served us, tasty food, both had different meals, both gluten free, well catered for us

Had a mocktail and a Pad Thai with duck… it was the second time here and it was everything I was looking for. Really delicious and tasty. Would totally recommend it!!

We chose the set lunchtime menu @ £15.95. Any two starters from a choice of ten. Between the four of us we had prawn toast, chicken satay, spare ribs, a vegetable pancake with a dipping sauce and a wonderful (very hot/spicy ) chicken soup. Main course had a choice of ten. A lovely hot green curry, a prawn noodle dish, sweet and sour chicken and beef in oyster sauce. Plenty to eat and all perfectly prepared. New owners eight months ago. Extremely friendly. Definitely will visit again

We all chose from the lunchtime set menu and it was wonderful. Very good value, excellent food and a good selection. We had a range of dishes and none of us were disappointed. All four of us are very happy to recommend this restaurant and as the chef and owner are relatively new (took over 5.5 months ago) give it another try if you’ve been a while back. It’s worth it. We’ll be back.

Absolutely outstanding service and food 10/10 highly recommend. Menu was so good I couldn’t decide! Spotlessly clean, amazing fast friendly service and the food was out of this world!

EAT-IN REVIEW: Sam Thai Restaurant, Lord St, Southport town centre (near The Monument). My first visit. I was impressed and reassured by the warm greeting and delightful service at this attractive venue. I had Sam Spicy Fried Rice with beef (£9.95) which was a generous portion and had a fresh chili kick running throughout. This spicy dish was balanced with a creamy and smooth Sam Thai Crispy Noodle Curry with chicken (£9.50) This is Sam's version of the legendary northern Thai dish of Khao Soi (if you know, you know!) Soft noodles at the base, and crispy noodles on top of creamy coconut sauce. Mmmmm. The quality and leaness of the meat on both these dishes was impressive and made me feel I was getting excellent value for money. My dining companion had a King Prawn Massamun Curry (£9.95) and gave it a massive thumbs up. It's always nice to accompany a Thai meal with a pint of draft Singha beer. (£5.95) Highly recommended for a tasty Thai treat when you are in Southport town centre. If only I was staring out onto Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok, rather than Lord Street! Pro tip: Sam came out to speak to us after the meal and explained he could cook almost any Thai dish, so if you don't see what you want on the menu, just ask!

I'd never been to a Thai restaurant before enjoyed my meal it was excellent. The staff were fantastic nothing was too much trouble. My friends and I enjoyed it so much we went back again on the Sunday for lunch highly recommended

Very good service and food and drink. The staff were friendly and kind. I love Thai food and Thai beer. Definitely coming to visit and dine again

Takeaway. The worst food we have ever had from a takeaway. Shoddy lazy 'Thai' food. Tasteless curries, inedible pork, the £17.00 skewer starter was laughable. I bought this as a treat for my family and am £70.00 down. Just Eat are refusing to refund me...
