Saphan Thai in Ceredigion

I ordered the Pad Cha seafood for collection. Described as a stir fry, but it was more a thin broth, with no noodles. Which at £12.50 I would have thought there would have been. It wasn't very large either. It had 2 prawns and no mussels which the menue states it should have had. Tasted ok.

We had a delicious takeaway. Everything tasted so fresh and flavoursome. I had penang curry and it was just lovely, fresh crunchy green beans and chicken in a tasty curry sauce. The rice was lovely too and all 4 of us enjoyed our choices. We had a sharing starter and there were several tasty dips. The vegetarian dish was great, the veg was so fresh and tasty. All eaten in an Airbnb overlooking the sea. Fab. The resteraunt is popular so it was a bonus to discover the takeaway service.

What a gem. Stopped here for lunch on Saturday. Service was excellent as was the food. Can highly recommend and we will definitely be returning

We visited on Saturday as a family and we all chose different meals off the menu. Each meal was superbly cooked with very good portions and served by the owner who doubles up as the waiter,barman oh and front of house host!! They get very busy and had to turn a number of people away sadly. So please do book to avoid being disappointed. We look forward to our next visit and thank you all for a great experience.

Me and my husband just went to have a lovely thai meal at Saphan Thai tonight! And we went there for the last 2 night as well! I'm Thai and I've been to many Thai restaurants in the UK before. But I could say this one is one of the best thai restaurant in the UK! With real authentic thai taste! I loved that their menu have different to the others. They have more "Thai street food" that the others Thai restaurant here don't normally have, like, Stew beef noodle, Sukiyaki, Rad Na (gravy noodle) and more! You could try what on their special menu as well you won't disappointed! Great service, reasonable price, big portion. Very highly recommended!

Small friendly and informal. If Thai flavours are what you like you won't be disappointed. No frills just good food and service.

We had takeaway here. Splendid food!!! The portion were generous. It was really great value too. Pleasant staff, and food was ready on time when we were due to collect. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic food. Delicious and generous. The food was fresh and light. Despite being really busy we didn't feel rushed. Friendly chatty staff. Great vibe.

Not worth it. Overpriced. Small portions. Poor service. They use monododium glutamate so it's tasty at the time but you feel ill afterwards if you're sensitive to synthetic flavour enhancers such as msg which many people are without realising it.

Without doubt the best Thai meal I have ever had Ambience excellent as was front of house. Freshly cooked with the freshest ingredients As good as it gets

Amazing food. A lovely place. The food was delicious and the people serving there were delightful. We intend to return time and time again!

We went for a beer and, whilst in the pub, decided to have Thai food. The restaurant was full, but the owner/manager told us ro come back in ten minutes. He might have a table for one hour or so, long enough for us to have a meal. We had the spring rolls, the satay, the Green curry with chicken and the massaman curry with chicken. All were very good and for a good price. We really enjoyed it!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is near to the sea. I would highly recommend this place to people who love eating Thai food.

What a gem. Wonderful staff . Fabulous food. Would have dined there again but sadly fully booked😩

We went to this restaurant tonight and it was fabulous. The food was well prepared and very tasty. Staff were attentive and friendly. The restaurant has a friendly atmosphere with uncluttered layout.

This was such a great find on a chilly December evening. The food was exceptional (had the satay skewers and small sweet/sour sausages for starters with a pork green curry to follow). Service was attentive and fast and although small and relatively basic in its...

We had excellent food here. I’m not an expert in Thai food, so I didn’t know what to expect. I certainly didn’t expect to like the sausage starter so much that I had to immediately order another plate! The green curry with pork was an...

Absolutely fabulous tasty food! My taste buds are still dancing with joy! A massive thank you to the chef for her hard work and flavoursome results. Great for vegetarians also, (which makes a refreshing change) as most dishes are available as veggie options. Great service....

The food and service were great. The beef was so tender it almost melted in your mouth. I would definitely recommend and it will be visiting again soon.

4 of us dined here on a Saturday night. Food was amazing, staff were very friendly, highly recommend this restaurant.

Had the Tod Mun Gai starter and Tom Yum Noodle Soup Special with fish balls with my boyfriend, I recommended he get Pad See Ew since it’s not spicy. Food was sooo good. Better than my mother makes (she’s Thai) but don’t tell her that....

What can I say but superb. We were in Aber for a few days and called Wednesday afternoon and were lucky to be able to book a table. The food was superb and the staff fantastic. They helped a gentleman with imaired vision in such...

Interior is quite basic, but the service and food were fine, prices were average. Handy as we were staying on the marina, so quite a short walk.

Fabulous food great portion size. Very popular so recommend booking beforehand. Sharing starter gives a good selection including prawns, chicken satay etc with dips.

This is a small family run Thai restaurant, situation in one of the lesser known streets in Aberystwyth, but the food is simply superb, and also not expensive, great value for money. All the food is cooked fresh by Thai chefs and cones to your...

Yep, nice, fresh, tasty, Thai food with a clean, authentic taste. All served in a quaint bistro setting. What's not to like? A sweet to finish with would have been appreciated.

We tried to book a table but the restaurant was already full, so contact asap. We ordered a takeaway instead and it was delicious. The Chicken Satay skewers for starters and Thai Green Curry where both the best we's eaten. Service was very efficient and...

Delicious Thai food and great friendly service. A bustling atmosphere in a small, informal resteraunt. You need to book in! Everything was delicious and generous in portion size. We will definetly return. The takeaway service looked popular too.

Thai food is always our no 1 , saphan Thai is the best we’ve been to in years , so authentic and fresh , we shall be returning . Would reccomend booking though such a busy place and well deserved x

Superb in every way from the friendliness of the service to the quality of the food. A Wonderful evening with the family.

Came in April for the first time and really enjoyed our food so thought we'd try it again as were in the area. It did not disappoint, we all enjoyed our food which comes in generous puddings. Even our baked bean loving toddler enjoyed his...

A few minutes walk from pier and beach we found this restaurant. Nice little restaurant with friendly staff abd a big menu. We took our 5 year old,unsure what he would eat and he tried his first noodle stur fry and loved it. Tasty, Spicy,...

We popped into Saphan Thai after finding it on my phone during a three hour train journey. So we were hungry and thirsty! The waitress was very welcoming and friendly and provided us with tasty green tea while we looked at the menu. We both...

From booking the table to having our lovely meals everything was perfect. We had spring rolls and satay which were fresh and flavoursome. We then had masaman curry and padthai. The curry was perfect. Kids loved their padthai. Portions are huge and there is a...

Despite being local to this restaurant we have never been, for no reason really! We booked a table for two a couple of days ago and shall certainly be visiting again! The service was incredible and staff were friendly, and the food was amazing too....

We walked into the restaurant with little hope for a table as the place was buzzing . Luckily there was an unreserved table for two. The food was exceptional and the great staff are all helpful. This is a genuine family business and it shows....

The food was tasty and the staff made you feel welcome. Very good menu with lots of choice. Everything we had was well cooked and tasted great. Would definitly go back if we're in the area again.

We have been a few times now as a group of friends. Every time the food is amazing and the staff are friendly and attentive. I cannot stress enough how delicious the food is. Saphan Thai is one of our favourite places to go out...

Stayed in Aber for a few days, looked around for places to eat, found this little gem. Popped in without booking. Couldn't fault it. Food cooked to order, really ace.

Love the food, and it is also wheelchair accessible! We are regulars and really enjoy. I would highly recommend

Went for an evening meal as a family - 2 adults and toddler. Good variety on menu even for fussy eaters. Food was all very tasty and fresh, the young lady who served us was polite and helpful. Prices very reasonable for the location, quantity...

Wonderful tasty meals at Saphan Thai. Staff super helpful and thoughtful. Lovely place to be. Highly recommend

Rufus-Montgomery advices that you must wax the hell out of your hair, trim your stylish mustache-beard combo, get your very best action man sweater on and squeeze yourself into your most dapper pair of short chequered trousers.. You are now ready, my friend, to gather...

Amazing food and really friendly service. The red curry and the House recommendation were great but the Massaman curry was the steal of the night. The sausage starter is also to die for

Fantastic little restaurant run by amiable British guy and his Thai wife who cooks fabulous authentic Thai food. The last time we had Thai food as good as this was in an amazing little back-street restaurant in Bangkok. We were a group of 7 and...

What can I say? Had a take away from this restaurant last night and it was so good that we had another tonight. We have had many Thai meals from numerous restaurants, both here and abroad, and this is one of the best ones we...

If you are ever visiting Aberystwyth and you're a fan of quality Thai food, this is an amazing little gem. Top quality fresh food cooked to perfection. I'm massive fan of very spicy/hot food, and every dish I ordered was spot on heat wise. I...

Went here two nights ago and it ticked all the boxes. Had the king prawn skewers for starters and Tom yum soup and prawn green curry for the main course. The restaurant is really well run and the speed of service is second to none....

Food was outstanding in fairness, really tasty with plenty of ingredients, catered for our 9 yo too, she loved it. My only gripes really are that we were sat closest to the counter, so people were queuing for take aways literally right over us &...

Had a take away this weekend and everything was delicious, hot, tasted fresh, it really was great. We had the chicken satay which was lovely, and then also had a massaman curry, pad Thai and the pork rice and all were brilliant, I could eat...

We needed to book ahead to go to the Little place and I can now see why. Service was great, really friendly, food was magnificent and they catered for our children really well, encouraging them to try new things and making recommendations. Portions are decent,...

Excellent food, we had a takeaway, will definitely come back and have dinner in the restaurant soon. Best Thai food I’ve had in years.

First visit and won’t be the last , excellent food friendly welcome and well looked after throughout can’t wait to return

Some of the best Thai food we’ve eaten, in or out of Thailand, can’t recommend it enough. It’s a short walk from the pier but well worth it, great food, service and thai beers Prices are more than reasonable too!

Wonderful dinner out, the food was excellent and the staff were fantastic. Very tentative and friendly. A must go to if you are in the area.

Had a memorable night in this cosy authentic Thai restaurant. So may places have resorted to cheap pre-prepared food but you can see the chefs cooking this up from scratch. The difference in quality is obvious. Best meal experience in Aber. A real gem. We...

Just excellent all round. Food was delicious, best we’ve tasted, reasonably priced, excellent service. Would highly recommend

Three of us had a takeaway from Saphan Thai this evening (two Thai red curries with coconut rice, and a vegetarian Pad Thai). It was all delicious and, we thought, very good quality. Ordering by phone was straightforward and the food was ready at the...

After reading other reviews we decided to have our Saturday evening meal at Saphan Thai whilststayingthe night in Aberystwyth, it did not disappoint! We were a party of 4, 2 vegetarians and 2 vegans, there was so much choice on the menu. Each dish was...

Just popped in for a family meal. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was quick and polite. The place is quite small, so you might want to book ahead. Also does takeaway.

My husband & I are just spending a few days in Aberystwyth. We have had a few good meals but this was by far the best. The food was presented well,tasted even better & the owners were very hands on & friendly. We spent a...

This place is underrated. The food was very fresh and tasty and the ambience is great. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

I've just had a meal here and had tod mun gai starter then Thai green curry with jasmine rice. All was excellent, and the Thai green curry really superb

Don’t be fooled by the unprepossessing exterior, this little gem is the real thing for genuine Thai food. We were greeted warmly by the owner. The menu was typical and had all the usual Thai food choices. Well cooked, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Friendly...

We had a lovely meal in this cute little Thai restaurant. Very authentic (and good value) menu and atmosphere, and the service was great. Had Spring rolls and Chicken Satay starters, followed by Yellow curry and Chicken Pad Thai. All tasted delicious, and we're brought...

Looks are deceiving, This little gem doesn’t look much from the outside but the food is amazing with great service. Highly recommend

We enjoyed a really tasty takeaway from Saphan tonight. Delicious food.I can thoroughly recommended it.

Really enjoyed our takeaway from Saphan while visiting Aber. Really fresh veg, authentic cuisine and tonnes of vegan options. Would've loved a vegan crackers options but you can't have everything I guess! Many thanks to the Saphan team

Came highly recommended and we were not disappointed! COVID safe and brilliant food. The menu was varied and the food was excellent - tasty and spicy without pandering to the soft British palette. The sharing platter was good and then we had a variety of...

So glad we came here on Thursday evening. We had a lovely meal, you could taste all the different flavours in the dishes and the bottle of Merlot was pretty good too! Wish we lived nearer because we'd definitely be back.

Fresh Thai food with great service. Three of us had a really nice meal which was freshly cooked (I could see straight into the kitchen). The mixed starter was freshly cooked and tasty. The Chang beer is essential! The main courses - Massaman Curry, Pad...

Lovely little Thai restaurant x the service was great and the food was fabulous ! It was so fresh probably the best meal I have had out for years ! Will definitely be returning !

Just visited here for tea this evening. We love thai food and have been to Thailand several times. The food we had this evening was exceptional. From Tom Yam soup to their speciality family recipe main course. Loved it. Spicy fragrant and fresh flavours. Well...

Can't wait to get eating here again often when all this is over, amazing Thai food :-) Run and staffed by lovely people.

Not much more to say than the title. Went two weeks in a row and both times was blown away by the flavour and taste. They do not scrimp on portions either. I don't live in the area but will make a point of going...

We've been here a few times and love their food. Staff are always attentive. We tend to have the Pad Thai or Curry and its always very flavourful.

I’m lucky to live 2 minutes away the Thai food is amazing fresh ingredients I come here every week 5 stars

came here on a Saturday night without booking, had to wait twenty minutes for a table for two. The food was excellent, as was the service, even though they were very busy. The food was authentic, very tasty, very reasonably priced, and we will definitely...

Went to Saphan Thai for my birthday with my partner. The food was freshly prepared and service was prompt. Heard some patrons say it tastes just like the food they had in Thailand. Our food was great and I will definitely recommend this little gem...

Great atmosphere, Thai choices of dishes and attentive owner/service. Slightly off the high street, it is definitely a hidden gem and worth a return visit.

Great atmosphere and food. Really simple to order our choices vegan, gave us a choice of tofu with our soups, curry and Pad Thai. Flavours were amazing and will definitely be visiting again.

Great food. Fantastic people. And a great selection for vegans. Super value for money. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

The food is fantastic, lovely authentic Thai, I've now tried about six dishes from the menu and all were yummy. Great value for money too.

Authentic Thai food was faultless. Had the vegetable pad Thai and spring rolls. Great restaurant with friendly service. They even sell Chang beer which was a bonus.

Visited with friends small but nice selection of dishes on menu staff attentitive food arrived promptly freshly cooked. Prices are reasonible I would recommend to anyone who loves or haven't tried Thai cuisine.

Had the lunch time special last week, garlic chicken stir fry and it was nice. I want to go back now and try some traditional Thai dishes. Very busy restaurant so you may need to book in advance

Very authentic thai green curry although the starter looked a frozen item microwaved . Pad thai was ok but a bit sweet and oily. The owner was v attentive and polite always checking on our needs. The staff were courteous and a nice bunch to...

This is one of the best Thai restaurants ever visited. Food was sensational and moderately priced. Lovely family restaurant with a excellent menu that had plenty of choice to suit all tastes. Note that this is a cash only place.

Great food and great service, the owner was friendly and noticed the food was proper spicy as my eyes were watering so he came over and gave me some cucumber! Would recommend it to anyone and is much better than fusion king Pad Thai!! Will...

Having agreed with friends to visit Saphan when they could get an evening off, I decided as I was in Aberystwyth I would visit Saphan as pathfinder. As I sat down the owner explained they had just opened and might have to wait. I ordered...

Our first visit for a take away. Friendly staff,good menu with plenty of choice. All the food was consumed (which is a good sign). Will visit again.

My girlfriend and I walked past Saphan whilst I was visiting her, from the outside it smelled fantastic and looked the part. We decided to go on a date this evening and from the moment we arrived couldn't wait to leave. We were seated at...

Went to Saphan Thai last night after recommendation from a friend. We were not disappointed. The food was gorgeous and very authentic with good portion sizes. Great prices too. The staff were very helpful and service quick. Really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be...

Went for lunch with friends from work. Fast, friendly service and very tasty food. We had to lunch specials -£7.20/7.90 for 2 pieces of starter, rice and curry or stir fry. Excellent value for money.

Excellent food, friendly staff, reasonably priced and great service. Papaya salad was as good as I’ve tasted anywhere. I really hope that this place is well supported and does well.

Tried this little gem for the first time last week, back for more. Food was really tasty with fresh ingredients. This will be a regular eatery, one downside, it only deals in cash, no cards.
