Sanchans in Broxtowe

Visited with 4 family members when staying nearby - expectations before arrival weren't particularly high but the food and service massively exceeded expectations and we all really enjoyed the excellent meal and couldn't have been more pleased with the service. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and a genuine pleasure to be able to write a wholly positive review

The service and food that is offered here is unparalleled across certainly beston, I have been going here all three years of uni.

First time eating at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. It was fresh and authentic. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. It was probably one of the best Thai meals I have had since my last trip to Thailand. I would without hesitation recommend Sanchans. I only wish it was located in London.

The food was lovely and the service very efficient, couldn't fault it . Would definitely come again

Beautiful restaurant setting. Quiet and intimate met with authentic delicious Thai food. I can't tell you enough how delicious the food is , and how welcoming the staff make you feel. My family and I received a five star hospitality service which made our night. If you are looking for a special restaurant this is the one. Enjoy.

This wasn’t the first time we have visited Sanchans and it certainly won’t be the last. As ever, the service was great and the food amazing - it is fresh, hot and beautifully presented. We love coming here as we can have a superb meal guaranteed. Thank you Sanchans for a smashing experience! See you again soon.

I had an excellent Thai curry. Excellent and very fresh but one problem, too much haha. I've been to Thailand a few times and I can say it is very authentic. I will definitely return soon.

We travel from the east coast to Beeston to visit family quite regularly and always go to Sanchans for lunch. John always provides a warm welcome and Mr. Sanchan cooks beautiful food. We invariably leave the menu choices to John and the food he chooses never disappoints.

Not very noticeable on the outside, but boy! What a find!! Not the plushest, but if you want good tasting Thai food (not just red, yellow green curries) then it's a must visit. Food is original and one feels like the ingredients are the fresh, compared to conveyor belt restaurants. Portions are good too!

Sanchan’s is the best kept secret in Beeston. Have gone twice now and the atmosphere and kind service is unrivalled, and the food is top quality and very generously portioned. Excited to return again soon!!

Great good and very friendly staff. We thought didn't look much from the outside but what a lovely restaurant. From the moment we sat down, chat during meal and when we left the staff could not do enough. The food is fantastic. We can't wait to go back next time we visit our son at Uni

Came across this restaurant when staying in the area with a group of friends. We let the owners choose what to serve. This proved to be a great decision. We got a lovely range of dishes, all of which tasted delicious. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Good job we don't live here not sure my weight management could cope. Wonder if they deliver to Scotland ?!

I have enjoyed eating in the restaurant and also had a takeaway, always five stars from me. If you like Thai food then this is the place to visit

Couldn’t fault this lovely place at all. After coming up to visit my brother at Uni, this was the perfect place for us to meet for a really fresh and delicious meal ! Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans too which was really nice to see - it even got me enjoying tofu!

We visit here as a family as often as we can the food is just the best we’ve had outside of Thailand! The kids love the starters and pad Thai and the curries are just the best! The staff are so lovely and cater to any adjustments on the meals it’s always a fantastic experience eating here

very friendly place, my order was not phoned through, just turned up and 20 mins later, ready to pick up. Big hearted Irish fellah behind the counter, made it all a great experience, and by the way, the food was excellent !!

Absolutely delicious 😋 I can’t think of anything else to add even to make be up to 23 characters! Cccccc

I booked a table for my fiance's birthday dinner. We loved the food and I really appreciated the fact that there were plenty of vegan options. The staff were really nice and welcoming too! Highly recommended!

Went on Tuesday evening for Eat Out to Help Out Offer. We had chicken satay and Thai fish cakes to start which were excellent. In fact the satay chicken was better than my usual restaurant. Then we had chicken pad Thai which was really good. We also had a pork dish that had a sauce that was more a dipping sauce than an actual pour over sauce so we weren’t too keen on this dish and the pork was also quite tough so will avoid in future. Coconut rice was good though. Apart from the pork dish (which was more our fault for ordering as we didn’t find out exactly what it was) it was very good and we’ll definitely go back.

Had a takeaway from here this evening and it was delicious!Generous portions and freshly cooked to order.I also thought the service was excellent when I picked up the order. We have eaten in the restaurant a few times too and have always found it a very enjoyable, tasty experience.Highly recommended!

I visit here regularly as I work in Beeston. The food is lovely!! Always piping hot and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend this place!

Not your run of the mill Thai, much more a family run restaurant that really takes care of you. Food is really consistent and authentic and served by very polite and attentive staff. If you’re local, there really can’t be a reason to travel far for some delicious Thai food.

I have eaten here countless times and I can honestly say that the food NEVER disappoints. The tofu massaman curry with coconut rice is my go to! I am yet to find a place that makes a better massaman and coconut rice. A true gem of a restaurant!

Long time no try Thai foods , chose this base on easy parking area nearby at back of the restaurant . Even Thursday evening , shop full house , really running good business with their transitional Thai cooking foods , friendly waitress , highly recommended.

The pad Thai and red curry at san chains is AMAZING!! Great food, can recommend enough. This is now our ‘go to’restaurant

jungle curry jungle curry jungle curry, a must if you want to taste real Thai food. Reminded us of our second home - Thailand. Authentic food but please be sure to ask for it. Will for sure be returning again to satisfy our Thai food cravings

Spur of the moment decision on a Friday night. We hadn’t booked but we were early enough for a table to be free. By the time we left every table was full!We had Tom yum soup and mixed starter. Both were excellent. For main I had panang curry and my husband had Larb. The latter was a new dish to try but my husband really enjoyed it. Food is well prepared great quality with excellent portions. The service is friendly too.

The food is the best for miles around and we’ve eaten in many different Thai restaurants The staff are lovely and accommodate every request including my daughter asking for no Brussel sprouts in her Pad Thai 🤣 10/10 every time 👍

What can we say - My brother & Wife and 2 boys who live in Abu Dhabi me and my husband mum and dad who was celebrating they 60th wedding anniversary and me my 59 birthday on 22nd August we have the most wonderful evening and wonderful meal the starter where to die for the mains great - just like being in Bangkok. Missed John the girls did a great job

Although we have lived in Beeston for a few years, this is the first time we have visited Sanchans. And it won’t be the last. Wow. The food is incredible. We had perhaps the finest Thai green curry we have ever eaten and the mixed Thai starter was just the right size and totally delicious. Our waitress was smashing and the whole experience was great. Not enough superlatives to say how much we enjoyed the food. Thank you chef/s we will return!

The waitress was very polite and welcoming towards us. The menu offered a wide selection of delicious authentic Thai dishes at excellent low cost prices

Called on a Saturday night , no booking, but was made welcome.staff attentive,starters and main courses were freshly prepared and very flavoursome. Generous portions and felt satisfied when we left.great value for money, and looking forward to next visit to try something else from menu.

Called today for an impromptu lunch which was beautifully prepared and very tasty indeed - would be delighted to recommend. Good value as well!

A last minute booking on a Saturday night for an anniversary dinner. My husband and I were accommodated and welcomed warmly.

great foodn great taste good portion size very freindly staff well worth a visit very clean also do take away

The food was superb and we can't wait to go back and try more of the dishes - there is so much to choose from on the menu! The staff were lovely and friendly, and we had a really good night. Great value coming to just under £30 for our two mains and side dishes. Highly recommend.

First time visiting Sanchans and it won't be the last. A nice cosy atmosphere with friendly staff. Started the meal with the mixed starter and the wife had fish cakes, all very nice. Main course was chicken Pad Thai and the Kang Mussamun chicken curry. What great flavours! any generous portions. The presentation was good also. £50 with a bottle of wine, you can't fault it.

Warm welcome and very friendly staff serving tasty food. If you have a good appetite this is the restaurant for you as the portions are filling.

A group of eight of us went out for an evening meal at Sanchans. We each had a plate of mixed starters very tasty and a nice variety. On the hosts suggestion we had a selection of different dishes, chicken, fish, duck, noodles, and rice. The dishes provided a contrast of complementary flavours all excellently cooked and beautifully presented. The food was beautifully spiced, and a treat for our tastebuds, portion sizes were very generous. My personal favourite was the duck dish, and went chatting with my mates afterwards it was clear we all the meal. Great food, great value, and great staff. Highly recommended.

I’ve ordered takeaway from here before but this was the first time I had eaten in the restaurant. The decor is a little dated but it just adds to the laid back vibe of the place. Food is very reasonably priced and delicious. The staff are always charming. Pad Thai and beers for two came to £27 and felt like excellent value. Am sure we’ll be back before long!

Loved the food. Really tasty, best Thai I’ve had. Recommend. Everywhere else was booked and we came across this little gem. Traditional Thai. Friendly service. Great price. I would definitely go again.

Recommend by someone to give this place a try, so we did. This place could do with a little refresh but didn’t stop the quality of food coming out the kitchen,very pleasant staff serving us. Portion sizes are excellent. Would recommend

Tried a selection of citrus, fish and spicy Thai salad. All great and best we have had since our trip to Thailand last year! Definitely recommend.

We shared a starter of chicken satay and for main the beef and peanut curry and the duck (no 44 - amazing). With it we had two rice (coconut and egg fried - both very good) and a beer and wine. £40. Incredible value. Very tasty food and friendly, attentive, staff. The duck (no 44!) is delicious.

I live in Beeston and when I want a really good thai dinner I go to Sanchan. I am not joking when I say that after a long tiring day at work, Sanchan with his food and his lovable waitresses makes me smile and let me leave the place happy! =D

We were immensely impressed with the food here. It was so fresh and delicious. Definitely the best food place in beeston. The staff were amazingly polite and friendly, the service was excellent.

We ordered fish cakes and tempura prawns as our starter. Both were excellent.

Was very welcomed when arrived ordered drinks and meals. Starter came was very nice and presented nice. Our mains came my mum ordered a king prawn meal which was £15. She tried prawns and they were very chewey so was obviously over cooked. so she told the women and the women said was because they were king prawns thats why they were chewey? Well we have had king prawns many off times and they are never like that. My mum is not one to moan and send meals back but she was very dissapointed as she loves prawns. She said she can take back 2 the kitchen but if she carrys on eating it she will charge her. So mum gave it her back and she took it never said sorry and my dad was still waiting for his meal for a while the women never brought it out like she had before it was a chef who came out with it. When she arrived out the kitchen she shouted across the restuarnt to a man to take the king prawn off the bill so we would hear her and then she looked at us. Never had any interaction from her since sending the meal back. Never even asked my mum if she would like anything else of the menu, never asked if we was ok, wanted any more drinks. We thought this was very bad and very rude. Our other meals were ok i had a Thai red curry which was nice but my dads and aunties was just average no Thai about it and the rice was just stodgy we couldent even eat it. The women was very rude she Seemed like she was offended because my mum sent her meal back but customer is always right. She never cleared our plates when we was finished. I asked her for the bill and a man brought it us. She blatantly avoided us. Very unprofessional if you can't take criticism then your in the wrong job like i say customers are always right. Will definitely not be returning to this restaurant again been to many better thai restaurants.

Arrived at this restaurant with my great aunt who used to come regularly but hasn’t been in a year, we came through the door and the manager immediately addressed my aunt by name, welcoming her return to the restaurant. We had a lovely table in the corner and the staff we efficient and attentive. Our party of three had mixed starters and the tempura prawns all of which were delicious. We then had chicken Tod Gra-Tiem Prik-Tai and salmon Shu-Shee with Jasmine rice and my aunt had the golden bags as a main course. Again all the food was freshly prepared and delicious. We had a bottle of the Malbec red wine to accompany our meal and it was served at a nice room temperature. Highly recommend this restaurant for its friendly service and lovely food.

On a cold and wet Friday night we chose to visit Sanchans. The service was warm and prompt. The wine was reasonably priced and decent.

Possibly the best tasting food having tried many of the restaurants in Nottingham none of which has compelled me to write a glowing review but the dishes we had on saturday evening were fantastic,fish cakes and chicken satay starters tasted fresh and home made,we then...

Went early on a Saturday evening and it soon got busy. Service was excellent and the ladies that work there are so attentive and very friendly. Food was so tasty and piping hot and very reasonably priced. Definitely would return.

Had a meal here and there were 11 of us in the party and although the food was very good the service was very slow maybe if the groups smaller they could of handled it better.

A small restaurant with very friendly staff, the food was very tasty with some different dishes, service was very good especially as there were two large groups seated before us. Best to book as there are not too many tables. Prices were reasonable and a good varied menu, I would definitely eat here again.

Visited on saturday evening at 6.30 and the place was already busy. It was warm and cosy on a very...

We were two families with toodler children, so we tried different dishes, and all of them were tasty and delicious:...

I went here a couple of times while training for work and returned during the evening last week with some...

Just popped in to pick up a couple of Pad Thai for takeaway! They were ready in minutes, piping hot...

Comida degustación, excelentes precios y grandes porciones. Estado aquí tres veces en los últimos tres meses - no puedo conseguir suficiente. El Larb es para morirse! A mi familia le encantó todos sus platos que iban desde curries para ensaladas. No puedo esperar a volver!

Siempre dejar este lugar encantado, después de algo de comida fabulosa. Que probar algo diferente cada vez y nunca me ha decepcionado cuando sentado en. No tan entusiasta en el tiempo para llevar de regreso después de tiempo, pero hasta el restaurante. Las porciones son generosas y no es caro.

A menudo visita Sanchans ya que es el mejor! No se puede conseguir un sabor más auténtico de la comida tailandesa en cualquier lugar en Nottingham. Merece una visita y te seguiré volviendo por más. Personal amable y cada plato sabe increíble. El pato asado es muy recomendable y la ensalada de pollo! No puedo esperar para mi próxima visita allí

Beeston has so many brilliant restaurants, sadly this is not one of them. I love Thai food my favourite is Ga Prow at Thailand No 1.For a Thai restaurant I was amazed how bland the food tasted. Thai is usually so flavorsome but my meal was at best boring, also I found the service impersonal almost to the point of disinterested and rude. Generally a disappointing experience.

It's a very nice place with great service and authentic Thai food (my friend and I have stayed in Thailand for a couple of months before). It's very good value for the price, with gigantic portions as well. Just be careful, if they say spicy, it is spicy! Had a great time and will be back!

Really enjoy Sanchans for Thai food . Takeaway is good also . Restaurant itself could perhaps move to a more salubrious setting and be more successful. The staff are always excellent and very polite . I enjoy the spicy salads most . Tremendous

Excellent service and super tasty food. Have been many times, and as a vegan it's easy for me to pick food that I can eat as well. Would definitely recommend!

Came here for a family birthday with a group of 12 on Friday night. The service was amazing. Right from when we called to make the reservation, the guy who we spoke to was very friendly and very helpful. The staff were amazing. Very attentive and very friendly. Food was amazing. Had a beef massaman, the best Thai food outside of Thailand. Really. And the food portions were huge. I had trouble finishing. Very good portion size. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Gostei muito da comida embora deva salientar que não foi unânime. Foi a primeira vez que fui a um restaurante Thai e como tal não tenho ponto de comparação. Neste momento apenas posso dizer que gostei e que vale a pena. Assim que possível irei a outro Thai e se necessário comentarei de novo.

My husband and I stopped for lunch before returning to Cornwall . We had the 2 course lunch and there was more than enough to choose from . We all agreed it was delicious and good value . Don't be put off by the purple exterior and unusual decor inside . It's worth a visit

We visited here on Saturday night with a friend this time and were very pleased with food. Drinks are a little on the pricier side and the service was very slow even though there was only another one or two tables of people in at the time, but food was very nice, so it wouldn't stop us from visiting again.

First class food, with lots of choice even for the vegetarians, very friendly staff unrushed, very popular, would definitely go again

Best Thai restaurant in Nottingham with no doubt! Everything in the menu is delicious apart from the Fish cake that is a bit too strong and tastes like eucalyptus (?).

We booked by phone, were welcomed with a traditional Thai bow and shown to our table. We ordered drinks almost immediately, food was ordered soon after we had studied the menu, it turned up pretty quickly and was very good, one pad thai and one thai green curry. The bill was very reasonable and I would not hesitate to go back.

First visit and certainly won't be our last. At 7:30pm on a Friday, we called around a few places for dinner. The guy who answered was really friendly and helpful and when quizzed about suitability for coeliacs (gluten) he could recite all the gluten free dishes off the menu, which was actually most of them. Very helpful and very welcoming. Food was just as good as other Thai places we've been. Reasonable price.

The food is nice. It takes a long time to cook but it's worth the wait. The service is ok and the staff polite but it's all quite simple. It feels a little dated and the prices high for the type of venue but I say it again the food is good. We went on a quiet night and so the wait and service aside you might expect warmed up food or yesterday's reheats but it was all fresh and tasty and portions were a good size.Not the best I've ever had but would revisit and certainly not bad for the location

Great meal and great service. I'm not much of an expert on Thai food, but one of the people I was with rated it higher than the Thai restaurants in town including Thailand No.1.

As many have said, the service was excellent but the food was more chinese than thai and largely disappointing. Only the pad thai is worth recommending.

We were made welcome on arrival, the staff were pleasant and the food very tasty with good sized portions. We were surprised how busy the restaurant was early on a Sunday evening - but not once we'd had the meal! A real little gem, well worth a visit. And reasonably priced. I'd certainly go back again.

Excellent Thai restaurant with very friendly staff and good advisers! You can find for chili spicy lovers or without any chili.The green curry is excellent and coconut rice amazing!

We are new to the area and wanted a takeaway last night and this came up on Google. Collection only and it was only 5 mins from us, staff was fine however food was pretty poor. Sticky rice was microwaved and the rendang curry was not thick enough (seemed more like a massaman to me) and it tasted a bit Chinesey with poor quality meat. Needless to say, we won't be back :(

We went to this restaurant for a family meal and it was lovely. The staff are friendly and attentive and the service was relaxed and very well timed. Everybody was impressed with their meals and all plates were cleared. The wine was good quality and very reasonably priced, the only criticism I could have is that we had to ask for water, but when we did a large jug of iced water was brought immediately.I would recommend this restaurant for anyone wishing to enjoy good Thai food in nice relaxed surroundings.

Cycling to meet my wife for lunch in Beeston I spied the outside benches on a sunny Friday afternoon. I was tempted by the menu specials. Great choice friendly service. Recommend the Pad gra-prao. Awesome authentic Thai. Good heat (chilli ) to it too. Thoroughly recommend. Will be back.

A Thai chef and an Irishman behind the bar make for a winning combination. The food is served at a sensible pace, tastes great, and sometimes we manage starters as well. If you like spicy food, this is the best place in Beeston.

Great authentic Thai food with chilly hot dishes and tasty no chilly plates also. Attentive staff and swift service.Great for take away also.

Nice portion sizes for main course. Tasty noodle dishes. Starters OK. Service great. Mains took a while to arrive but worth the wait.

Staff are nice, the food is very reasonably priced, but (sorry - despite all the glowing reviews here) for me never more than OK. Curries the best.

A friend recommended Sanchans a couple of years ago and I am so glad they did! We have had several meals here and have consistently had excellent food and service, thank you.

Positives - The food in itself was fine, slightly slow service but not too bad, also rather good value.One huge negative - After finishing our meals, noticed on the salad the underside of the decorative carrot was covered in black furry mould, complained to both the waitress and the chap at the door, both of which apologised but neither seemed at all interested. Won't be returning.

4 of us ate here on Sat night, wow! We're eaten in many Thais restaurants and can say we enjoyed every dish here. Crispy duck, crispy lemon chicken, pad thai, massaman are but a few dishes we tried. The malbec wine £6.65 per large glass was fantastic too.Service was helpful and friendly. All in all a great thai meal and we'll definitely be back.Total including 6 alcoholic drinks, starters and main came to approx £90

flavoursome pad thai with generous portion of noodles and meat. Staff was friendly. Will come again!

I am a regular diner here, why? Because it is extremely tasty and satisfying, leaving me with a full belly every time! Fantastic selection of food, great prices and good service. I would recommend the chicken Pad Thai.

Sanchans is always utterly delicious. Fresh food with subtle flavours . Reasonably priced & friendly staff. My favourites are the fish cakes and any of the curries!

Staff very friendly and helpfull, the food is excellent, chicken satay for starters was amazing. I had duck in tamarind which was huge and mt partner had spicy minced pork which was also huge but very tasty. Highly recommended and next time where in town we'll definitely call in again.

Me and my husband visited for a date night recently, and really enjoyed our evening. Service was good, and the food was lovely. My husband had fried duck, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I had a tofu dish which was nice, but the tofu was a little dry and bland. The food came quickly and our drinks were replenished when we wanted them. All in all, we had a very nice evening and would return.

Our first visit with friends who had previously been twice and were raving about it...so we had to try it...we were not disappointed. Tempura veg starters were tasty but the main courses surpassed expectations. Had the best green thai curry in a long time..it was fresh and delicious with coconut rice and the Jungle curry was spicy but very flavoursome. Having eaten at a city centre Thai place just a couple of weeks ago, which was great but pricey, Sanchans is far and away the best value for simply delicious food. We'll definitely be going back.

Service was good, however, the starter that we ordered came out AFTER the main course and so had to be eaten with it which put me off it as I was getting quite full. The meal that I chose was Thai Green Curry with Chicken and it was very very nice. As this was a lunch hour treat I was in a bit of a hurry anyway so I wasn't too concerned that the starter came after the main course but I would not have been happy had it been in an evening or I had more time. I would recommend Sanchans as the food is very nice and very fresh.

I had the spring rolls to start with Thai green as a main. Absolutely fantastic. The best thai food I've eaten, I really can't recommend them more. My partner had the satay starter and red curry - also mind blowingly good and my friend had a lovely pork dish. The venue is small but nicely decorated, with Asian ornaments and nicely dressed tables. We were the first ones there for lunch so got a window table. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable, knowing all the different spice levelsof the dish and recommending meals to suit individual taste. The restaurant was impressively cheap, with a 2 course lunch costing just £9.50. The drinks were £2 for a large soft drink. It came to just £34.50 for three of us to have two courses each. Finally, the restaurant is situated in a very convenient area of Beeston high street, we parked at Tesco and it was around a 5 minute walk.I would highly recommend this fantastic little restaurant.

Great restaurant - I have been here many times and have never had anything but exceptionally good food.

Probably the nicest Thai food I have had. Portions were large but the staff were happy to 'doggy-bag' it for you. The staff were very pleasant and attentive.

Obwohl England nicht für seine Küche bekannt ist, bieten versteckte Perlen wie das Sanchans immer koloniale Köstlichkeiten auf!Das Lokal wurde uns von einem englischen Kollegen empfohlen, und kann dies nur weiter geben. Sehr gutes Essen, bei dem scharf wirklich wörtlich zu nehmen ist. Die freundliche Bedienung ist dabei jedoch bemüht dies auch offensichtlichen Ausländern charmant verständlich zu machen und fragt zur Sicherheit mehrmals nach.In Beeston ab jetzt immer einen Besuch wert.

We we went over lunch at work for a colleagues birthday and it was lovely.We chose to have 2 courses from the £9.50 lunch menu so really reasonable too!I had the mixed starter which had prawn toast, chicken satay and a spring roll, it was nice to have the options to sample and was very tasty.I had Thai red curry for main, I am used the the sauce being thinner but was a lovely rich sauce with fresh ingredients.Will be returning for an evening meal when time allows ... If only I lived locally! Mmm.Defo a place to try if you like Thai food..don't be put off by the size of the place either (quite small inside) it makes for a cosy experience could do with some music in the background if I'm going to be picky but I understand it's hard to meet everyone's taste.
