The staff were super welcoming and accommodating. Visited for lunch and it was quite busy, but the service was pretty fast. The drinks were delicious which also includes a few imported beers. The dishes were freshly made and were very enjoyable. Would recommend the rice dishes if you are unsure what to order. The menu has a bit of everything including dumplings and the open kitchen was a nice addition. Nice view of the beach if you manage to grab a high table by the windows.

Hi TTK, I’d like to thank you for the high quality meal i had with you this evening. The cocktails downstairs were very good, the food was fantastic and generally the serving staff were good. I found it disappointing however, when ordering food to be instructed that there can only be ‘one order per table’. You have an extensive menu of great food. Whilst i’m very comfortable with food being brought to the table when it leaves the kitchen, if you want to have a multistage meal, ordering everything at the start in one go, makes this tricky- to plan next dishes and not least to prevent food from getting cold. Whilst i appreciate you likely value customer throughput, I suggest you review this blanket rule. I would have ordered considerably more if i could have phased the meal in the way i wanted and it regrettably this ‘rule’ sapped the joy out of my otherwise very good meal. I’m not sure i have ever eaten in any other establishment that takes such a restrictive approach to customer experience. I would happily have given five stars if a bit of common sense and discretion had been deployed. I would encourage you to consider the above. Best wishes, Guy

We recently tried a takeaway from Talay Thai Kitchen, and it was absolutely fantastic! We started with the vegetable spring rolls and Thai-style dumplings, both were delicious, but the dumplings were exceptional and full of flavor. For mains, we had the Massaman curry with beef, which was rich and comforting, and the Street-style special egg fried rice with chicken, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Tamarind Duck was another exceptional dish, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The coconut rice was the ideal complement to all the dishes. Overall, everything was fresh, full of authentic Thai flavors, and beautifully prepared.

AVOID !! Unsure how good the food is as we didn’t get that far, door was open at 11am so I thought a great opportunity to book a table for our last night. The lady was mopping I asked excuse me politely. Her reply “ I don’t appreciate you coming in you must leave just get out, I explained I was simply trying to book a table and the door was open apologised profusely, she was aggressive and dismissive and escorted my downstairs, what a shame to work in hospitality with such anger issues” the lady was mid 20’s brown hair clearly has a chip on her shoulder or hates her job. No matter the food or the other staff I would never return

We asked our hotel rep for a recommendation of a place to eat in busy St Ives front and this was the suggestion. You cannot book but we only had to wait half an hour in their lovely downstairs bar. It was worth it as the food was delicious. We all tried something different and everything was equally as good and not too expensive. The service was very good and we had a window table with a great view of the harbour. Food was fresh and as good an experience of Thai cuisine as you’ll get anywhere.

Long wait for a table (1-2hours) Most of the dishes on the menu contain fish sauce so as a vegetarian I could not have the dishes on the menu that had a veggie option like curry/pad thai/… (because they didn’t know that fish is not vegetarian) Very stressful atmosphere, they serve the starters and main courses at the same time and it feels like you have to leave quickly Very disappointed because of all the good reviews

We were only in St. Ives for one day and decided to try this place for dinner as it was by the water with a good view and the reviews were mostly positive. The front of house staff ruined our dining experience. They don't take bookings and we asked for a table for 3 exactly at 6 pm on a Wednesday. They actually weren't super busy yet, but I very specifically asked for a table by the window. We may have gotten a different table right away but I only wanted a table with a nice view. We were told by a lady at the front of house it would be about a 15-20 min wait. We waited downstairs at the lounge. About 20 min later, a different lady, also working front of house, came and got us to bring us to our table. She took us to a table in the corner, nowhere near a window. I told her we had spoken to a different woman about getting a table by the window, which is what we were expecting. She responded by saying we could be waiting an hour for that, completely unconcerned that we had been told something different by the first person we spoke to. She seemed very impatient with us and made us feel like we were crazy for even making such a request, so we just sat the table we were given. Not even 15 min after sitting down, before our food had even arrived, a table by the window opened up, and was given to another party who was on the waiting list after us. There was absolutely no attempt made to ask us if we would now prefer that table. It would have been easy to move us. Or we even could have waited another 15 minutes for that table, but we were told it would be an hour longer. Most people probably don't care where they sit. But for us it's part of the experience. I won't even discuss the food because I was already put off by the service even before the food arrived. I've had better Thai food at other places, but even so, it's the front of house staff that ensured I will never return. Also, they add a 10% discretionary tip to your bill which goes to staff but failed to mention this to us in case we wanted it taken off. I only noticed once I saw the receipt after we paid.

After a long day we came to Talay at 6pm and gave our names at the door. They put your name on a list and call you when your table is ready. You can at wait the cocktail lounge downstairs. Our table was ready in about 20 mins. We went there as they had a lot of vegetarian options on the menu. Beware that the curries have fish sauce integrated in them but we decided to turn a blind eye as we really wanted the curry and rice haha. We got the green, red and jungle curry’s with jasmine rice and added tofu. Service was quick and the restaurant itself is really nice. The food was AMAZING. So wholesome , full of veggies and deliciousness!

I had lunch at this Thai restaurant with a nice sea view, and they were out of papaya salad, which I specifically went there for. However, they made a beef dish similar to papaya salad, and it turned out to be delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The salmon with tamarind sauce was soft and flavorful—highly recommended. Additionally, the lady named Chloe provided amazing customer service.

Wanted to love this place given the reviews but the service was very slow at the start of our meal and the waitress had to go back and forth to the kitchen as she wasn’t well versed on the menu. Food overall was quite good though a little bit salty (eg salt and pepper squid) and the pad see ew had tons of veg despite being a beef pad see ew, but not many noodles. You can just put your name / number down and then come back when your table is ready or (as we did) enjoy the associated cocktail bar downstairs. Prices were fair!

Very nice Thai restaurant, and before I forget, you need to try their cold tea, especially the one with milk! Delicious food and very affordable too, although I'd caution on ordering the rice plates, as we thought they were for at least 2-3 people, but they were only for 1, wish those rice servings were bigger as they were filled with lots of toppings. Anyhow, still enjoyed our time here and definitely recommend this place, nice staff and very private atmosphere.

One of the most sought after restaurant in St.Ives is Talay Thai Kitchen. No wonder it is always so jam-packed and a long queue waiting outside. We had to wait 45 mins to get a table for 4. But no complaint.. as the food totally compensated the wait. The best thing about their menu is that all mains can also be ordered in small portions as tapas. We ordered Panang curry with prawn, jungle curry with chicken, fish cakes, grilled pork chop , egg fried rice, and prawn crackers. We paired it with chilli gin. So portions are really comfortable and the price is extremely pocket friendly. I would like to go back there again and again for their parang curry. It was just that good. Thank you team @talaythaikitchen for such a wonderful meal.

The food was incredible, the Thai green curry was one of the best I’ve tasted, the Thai pork basil stir fry was divine and full of flavour, prawn crackers, spring rolls and chicken satay were amazing! Overall I can’t highly recommend this place enough. It was on the more expensive side but definitely worth the money. Just bear in mind all the dishes don’t come with rice/noodles and there extra.

We always dine at Talay when in St Ives. We are regulars to Thailand and in our opinion, the flavours are really authentic and nicely spicy. They sell both Singha and Chang by the bottle which keeps us both happy! We have always found the service to be top notch. We've settled on ordering 3 main courses recently (2 curries, and one noodle dish) and this works perfectly great for us to share. I can recommend their penang. Do yourself a favour and plan your visit. Waits of 1 or 1.5 hours arent unexpected. Pot luck with tables, even better if you're allocated a window seat with those fab views. We always try to aim for midweek and have a drink downstairs as you're less likely to miss your slot. We will be back in September.

We were lucky enough enough to get a table with a harbour view which made the meal a little bit special. The tapas were excellent (chicken satay, dumplings, pork swerers, fish cakes, prawn toast) with the dumplings being our favourite and the pork less interesting. Nice selection of wine by the glass and overall a really lovely relaxed meal with an excellent waitress.

The food was good. However, the restaurant strangely has a policy of forcing diners waiting for a table to buy a drink downstairs by a very rude & abrupt server. Upon arriving we were told a table would be ready within 20 minutes & to wait downstairs in the bar area. While waiting in the bar area a female member of staff came over & asked for our drinks order. We explained we were waiting for a table & told to come downstairs. Her abrupt response was "but this is a bar", thanks for clarifying in your patronising manor I was aware. Any restaurant I've been to in London & elsewhere have a waiting area for diners while a table becomes available & don't expect diners to buy a drink as an obligation. Luckily it was not raining & therefore waited outside, otherwise the restaurant would expect diners to wait in the rain while a table becomes available. It is a very odd policy on the restaurants behalf that I've never come across elsewhere, however, regardless if that is their policy there is no need for the waitress to talk in the rude & patronising manor that she did.

The restaurant is very popular and it is always a good idea to make a reservation. We arrived without a reservation and put our name on the list and went to walk around the city, when we returned the table was still not available, but we were served drinks in the bar located on the ground floor. Soon after, we were seated at a table with a view of the sea, which was worth the wait. We opted for the Thai Dumplings, Wepping Tiger (with steak) and Massaman (with Jasmine rice). The dishes were very tasty. It is a restaurant with good value for money. Excellent service in a pleasant environment. I recommend!

We managed to get in without a wait, I ordered the Thai steak and was very impressed with it. Cocktails were also very nice

We waited like others in a queue and after three lots of couples in front of us turned and walked away one advising not to bother as they were rude we shouldn't have wasted our time. Once we were in front of the female waitress at the door I could see by her face we were just an inconvenience. We were not in a hurry and after a relaxing day we were happy to wait. The waitress altered the waiting time increasing it twice but when we were not discouraged she told us to drink elsewhere whilst we waited. I understand that these types of venues are busy at this time of year but what she needs to remember is every customer is different and their dining experience matters. Very disappointed and needless to say we will not be returning. There are a number of fantastic venues within this area that appreciate your custom and serve fantastic food. My advice, go elsewhere.

Top spot on the harbor at St Ives. Delicious Thai food. The restaurant has a first come first served method. It is very popular so it may take a while before you get a table, which means a lot of times up and down the boulevard, but it is definitely worth it 😋

Friendly service, great drinks, great food and a decent atmosphere. I have the feeling any negative reviews are more of a reflection of the individual, rather than this restaurant 😁

This is one of the worst seaside restaurants I have been, to start I entered the restaurant in the first floor to be told abruptly to stand outside till someone caters to you, since we were tired after a long day and seeing the reviews thought the staff may be having a bad day, I just ignored it, I was then invited and told the server about my experience, she said it was not her, we ordered four dishes and surprisingly all came within 5 min, which we happy about, however the padthai was sweet, Thai curry was salty. I know that most seaside restaurants really do not take quality and service seriously as 95% customers are first timers, I strongly will not recommend them, not sure if the reviews are genuine too

Yesterday I was ordered take a way for my feelings miss Thai food after I had been eating a lot of English food and junk foods for a few days between my holidays trip in Cornwall, So restaurants vibe was wonderful with beautiful sea views and nice location. But some menu of your food such as ( fish cakes) is not really tested like authentic Thai food , so including you put sauce come with them it more salty. Pad See eaw a bit sweet but not too bad. I hopefully some owners who read this review can you check and getting better please. Honestly reviewing ka

isited for my birthday after hearing great reviews! Definitely didn’t fail to live up to them. The tamarind duck was the ⭐️ of the show, absolutely delicious. Menu has great variety and for the location/view it is super reasonable! The girl serving us was super helpful and guided us on how much to order. She also recommended some mocktails which were delicious! Didn’t catch her her name but she had black curly hair, super friendly 👍🏻 We will definitely be back and I would make a trip to go…only downer was the service charge added! Which we would’ve done anyway but this was the only off putting thing 😊

03/05/24 We visit each year we come to St Ives, and it never fails, cashew nut stir fry perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Tempura vegetables magically crispy. Many vegan options. Milly who served us was so cheery, service from her and her manager whose name I didn't get, couldn't be faulted. Love this place.

We went here for dinner, there was a wait for a table but the service and food was outstanding, the drinks are slightly expensive, but the food was reasonably priced, the staff provided extra plates without having to ask, so we could share the food we ordered. If I am ever in the area again, I will be ensuring that I go back.

I visited this restaurant with some of my family for a birthday meal. The prices were reasonable, we received good service, the place was spotlessly clean, and the food was lovely. I would quite happily return.

A hidden gem. Don't be fooled by the location. We had to double back on our journey from Hayle back to Torpoint, and it was a revelation. Although we only had an early evening pitstop of mixed starters a salad and stir fry. It was all really fresh and tasty. Washed down of course with Singha... We will be back for a more detailed review. Thank you
