Thai Balcony in Bath and North East Somerset

My friends and I went to Thai Balcony, after visiting Bath's Christmas markets. It was an early dinner time at 3pm so very quiet but the previous guests left with high praise. The menu offered a lot of variety in Asian cuisine. For starters, we ordered the Dim Sum, pork skewers and prawn rolls, which were very flavourful with decent portion sizes for the cost. For mains we had the Pad Thai, Massaman (no 41), and the seabass in broth. The Pad Thai was fine but a bit plain and could have had more flavour, although the noodles had good texture. The Massaman (no 41) was our favourite, not too spicy and hit the spot for someone new to Thai cuisine. The seabass was cooked well in a tasty broth; however the menu said it was spicy and it was not very spicy (it had one third of a chilli on it). The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxing, thanks in part to the quiet background music being played. The decorations were beautiful and gave off an elegant and fine dining experience.

Fabulous food. Bursting with authentic Thai flavours. Will define ordering again. Also loved the eco friendly packaging.

Had a very tasty lunch with friends. Not too spicy but very tasty. Excellent service and quality.

I ordered takeaway. It came hot and was very nice. The prawns were great with tails on. Pad Thai very nice. Chicken satay very nice. Panang was nice but beed a little tougher than expected

We've eaten at the Thai Balcony on and off since 2010. It used to be great, especially for pre-theatre suppers. However, it has gone down hill over the last few years. It had problems with its hygiene rating, the dishes became expensive and poor quality. On the plus side, the staff are in the main, friendly and efficient. After an absence of at least a year we were hoping to see an improvement on our latest visit. Not so. One of the dishes we ordered never arrived although it appeared on the bill. The sizzling chicken dish did not sizzle and I doubt it was chicken. So, that's it from us. Never again.

Quite disappointed with the taste of the food. Starting with the glass noodle salad. The taste of the salad is okay, but the squid in the salad has a very fishy smell. Hardly edible (sea fishy smell). Chicken panang tastes very sweet. (Understanding, it may be adapted to the local people here) But personally, even if I eat sweet things, I still feel very sweet. And the amount of food (panang curry) was small and not consistent with the price. Compared to many Thai restaurants in London Next is pork stir-fried with fresh chilies. The food looks and tastes like stir-fried pork with oyster sauce. (The side dish had pork pieces, bell peppers, chili peppers, and other vegetables) which was different from what I expected when ordering the food. Mushroom tom yum tastes acceptable. Delicious pineapple baked rice Crispy pork stir-fried with holy basil Overall, the atmosphere of the shop is beautiful and very well decorated. Panik's service is very good and friendly. (This review is just a personal opinion)

A rather average experience. 3 out of 4 dishes were below par and the egg fried rice and Pad Thai were the worst I've ever been served. An expensive lesson. Also, we were told the window tables were reserved but we could hear later arrivals being offered the tables we were told we couldn't use.

First time visit and the service is the best. The red curry chicken was beautiful and the starters very tasty. Absolutely will be returning again and again.

This restaurant has been here for a very long time. I think this our third visit over a number of years. This time we popped in for a quick meal after being at a screening in nearby Komedia for the Bath Film Festival. It was quite late so we were hoping for fast service and a tasty meal - and we got both! The restaurant is lushly decorated and cosy. The staff are welcoming and very hospitable. Even though this restaurant has a takeaway business, people dining in aren’t aware of it and it doesn’t impact on the speed of service, as it can do in some other restaurants. I can’t comment on the wine list because we weren’t drinking alcohol due to needing to drive home, but our food was delicious and satisfying. I had the fresh vegetable rolls and Drunken Duck. We were in and out within 45 minutes. Perfect for a school night!

First visit to a Thai resturant,we were very impressed the food was amazing,lovely staff good service..we asked in a previous eatery the day before and you were suggested,look forward to returning on the next trip to Bath.

We really were very impressed with this buzzy & deservedly popular restaurant. Great ambiance, charming staff (& they were busy!) & excellent food. Do be sure to pre-book (by phone) & do be sure to visit!!!

My girlfriend took me here for my birthday, what a treat! As soon as we entered we noticed the decor and how beautiful it was. The mixed starter was amazing and the mains we ordered were just as good. Up there with some of the best Thai food we have had. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly! Would highly recommend to anybody in and around Bath.

I had high expectations of this based on the cover of the menu but ultimately I found it pretty lacking in flavour though the food came out lightening quick. I’ve had about a thousand pad see ews in my lifetime but never once one which had mushrooms in it, not sure that’s traditional but I am not from Thailand. If it’s Thai food you seek there are many other options in Bath

Well what can I say, perfect in every way, delightful decor, cosy and welcoming. The staff were very polite and attentive to every detail. The food was excellent cannot find any fault. Would recommend highly and we will come again.

Excellent food … excellent service…

Great thai restaurant overlooking kings mead square. Service is super friendly and welcoming. They have an extensive food menu, clearly labelled ingredients in each dish. They have some decent starter options. Prices are a little more than other Thai restaurants in Bath. But it's worth it, I had a pad Thai, was super tasty. The decor is very authentic and well maintained. Definitely worth a visit.

One of the best if not my favourite Thai restaurant in Bath. The food is authentic and all the staff are friendly and attentive. The Thai green curry is to die for, not extremely spicy like most are, but well balanced with a touch of sweetness. We went on a Friday night, was full, and food came super quick! The chicken satay, pad Thai, and crispy duck with pancakes were also very tasty.

Cramp seating, rushed service, food was good just not good enough for a five star.

Magnificent Thai restaurant in Bath! Very special and delicious food, many dishes with many new flavors to discover. Excellent service and beautiful place.

Massaman curry was delicious but very expensive for the portion.

Stunning restaurant in the heart of bath. The food was all delicious, the service friendly and efficient and the ambience was thoroughly enjoyable.

Such a cute place, we actually ordered takeaway as we were short for time but I’d love to return and eat in. It was very busy but service was lovely! I got pad thai which was great.

As walk-ins we were greeted and seated on arrival. Loved the food service and atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere and beautifully/traditionally dressed staff, high standard food served quickly, good range to suit most tastes. Recommended

Nice food with big portions in a nicely decorated environment. Reasonably busy so worth booking ahead.

A very grand restaurant, we ate on the balcony. Great menu and the food quality was excellent. Service was quick. Authentic Thai.

My mom is telling me that it was the best dinner we had in England. Did the fixed price option which provided variety to just 2 eaters. The appetizer tray was delivered on an over-the-top tray. I would need to sprinkle you with sequins to get the correct effect.

Fabulous Thai meal. The best Pad Thai I've had!

Good service, very delicious, excellent chef. The atmosphere is perfect for special occasions.

Good quality but the portions are not worth the money, £92 for 5 items.

Excellent food, and wonderful service served by lovely friendly staff. The Thai balcony is in the centre of bath, where there are many other restaurants and which you are spoiled by choice. However, I chose this restaurant as the balcony of this restaurant is adorned with beautiful flowers, and looks well cared for. To enter the restaurant, you must ascend the stairs, the entrance on the right of the building. The restaurant itself has beautiful Thai decor and a relaxed atmosphere.

Was in bath for a couple of days Excellent food would definitely go back. Friendly staff atmosphere was excellent and fast service.

Easy to locate the restaurant in the centre. Parking after 7pm on Westgate Road a minutes walking distance. Upon arrival you see the balcony and Tai Cusine sign easily and the architecture is beautiful. When you enter via the side door it is by stair but no disabled lift access noted if supported? We were greated with a very friendly hello and smiles and quickly given a table. We were given menus and time to select. The delivery of the food was quick and presented well with a good all round service and checking if all was ok etc... the wine selection was good and average prices for a glass or bottle also the beers, Ciders were all in average prices for the centre of Bath. The food was delicious and very filling. Desert was offered but we were to full. Overall we would definately return to sample more and the bill was very reasonable overall. Clean tidy and well decorated with a good lighting.

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere

I had a meal delivered from Deliveroo from this place and it was honestly one of the most disgusting things that I've had to try to consume. The entire dish just tasted of weird/almost gone-off beef, and the entire order was delivered in less than 15 minutes (from button to delivery). There's no possible way you can make food fresh that fast. I'd honestly just recommend avoiding this place altogether. Beef Pad Thai.

Very good food, delicious curry!

Both my friend and I have spent time in Thailand and always seek out Thai food. Thai Balcony did not disappoint! As soon you arrive the decor and staff transport you to Thailand. The service was fantastic. The food and cocktails were presented beautifully and were indeed delicious!

Nothing special or particularly good. Not really traditional Thai Cuisine. Small Dish. Noodles were too hard. Rice was too dry. Only 1 staff serving.

Stopped off for some lunch, and what a nice location . Good views across the square . The starter menu looked great and , if I go again , I’d just order loads of starters ! For £8 each , they were a bargain . I say that because the mains are very small , and twice the price ! See the pictures . So , don’t bother with the mains , go for the starters and make a Thai tapas , you will enjoy it much more !

Such a beautiful restaurant with delicious food. We were away for the weekend and fancied Thai food and it was everything we hoped for!

Lovely little place to eat. Staff accommodating and very friendly. A little slow service in between meals and waited 25 mins for the bill. Food, however, fantastic!! Fresh, flavoursome, traditional authentic food!! Would definitely recommend

After spotting the beautiful balcony (from the Irish pub earlier in the day), we were keen to eat there. Our choice was mainly because we wanted to sit on the balcony which we did but we weren’t prepared for the exceptional food and service we received. The flavours of our dishes were exquisite and the portions and prices were also agreeable. We would definitely go back there again and again. 100% recommend.

Delicious food. Highly recommended.

pineapple fried rice is highly recommended to give a go. You won't be disappointed. Comfy and stunning balcony.

The food was excellent, the staff were attentive and charming, and the decor created a unique Thai atmosphere. We sat on the charming balcony, and although the street below was a little lively, it was the perfect spot.

Food was a bit dry. Duck was really dry and the pad Thai was pretty dry too. Would’ve preferred if it was more juicy or moist you know, it tastes more fresh that way. I’ve had better Thai than this but it was okay still.

Great place, food was amazing, staff very friendly and happy to help with any requests. We sat on the balcony and moved in once it got too cold, which they were more than happy to help with.

Amazing staff- really helpful with what to order. Lovely decor and music - with a lovely breeze into the restaurant. The dim sum is a must have!

Could not fault food was delicious, seated on balcony. Staff and service was excellent wasn't rushed. Definitely coming back for more.

Food was very good and tasty but they didn’t provide cutlery or rice to go with the food and all the reviews said the dishes came with rice so we didn’t order rice!! Portions are also on the smaller side.. For 60£ dinner I thought it could come with one bowl of rice at least or they could have called us to let us know

Great Food! Very authentic! Love the green curry

Absolutely fabulous. The service was quick and friendly by the staff in traditional dress. The food was delicious, we particularly enjoyed the sweet and sour vegetables. Portion sizes were good. There is loads of choice, the menu is huge!

Absolutely beautiful food, service and location!!❤️ Thank you so much!

The environment is good and the Thai food is delicious and quite authentic.

Really good service and the food was amazing. Staff is friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Super tasty, very good seasoning, highly recommended. Service attentive and unobtrusive.

Just went for dinner in Bath. Wonderful staff, very quick and friendly. The restaurant is very pretty and would be good for a date or romantic meal but still good for groups. We had beef pad thai, dim sum, and dragon roll dessert. It's all very tasty and reasonably priced. It's not spicy. The service is family style, so your table can order several dishes and share.

My daughter wanted Thai food one evening that we ordered her a take out, she loved it so we came back the next day for lunch before we left Bath to go home. We ordered and shared a few dishes. It was really lovely lunch.

Somewhat disappointed in the quality of the main dish, chicken pad ka prao. Small serving size and lots of vegetables to stretch the amount of meat. Also, I didn't care much for the veggies used for the dish. Because of the small serving, I was still hungry, so I also had a dessert and a sherry for afters. The amount of sherry served was not very generous.

Amazing thai food. Also has a couple of bottled Thai beers. Staff was great, polite. The dining room is clean and the furniture looked pretty fancy

It’s okay Thai food. Service is alright . Inside the restaurant is beautiful with decorations. I had a green Thai rice , that was awful, one of the worst green curry rice dish I have ever had. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Hadn't per-booked but were provided with an excellent table without any fuss in a very busy restaurant on a Friday night in Bath. The menu was quite extensive and the staff were very helpful in guiding my wife through what was available to accommodate her GF and DF intolerances. The food was very well cooked and presented and the whole evening was a real delight.

I booked for my anniversary celebration there .! Ambience was good when we enter we enter we feels it’s nice , staff was not trained about food menu’s women in purple costume came to take our order, when I asked her can u tell chef not to add egg in my any food bcz I am vegetarian she said everything contains egg and already cooked so not sure about eggs , starter was good , but I ordered curry for main and they gave me pad thai noodles instead, I asked one of the staff that this is not what I ordered , he said we don’t do curry even though it was in menu , then lady was in pink costume was so welcoming and helpful , she said she will change order for me and send curry instead.! Meanwhile my 12 months old daughter started crying so i asked lady in red costume to get me bill and pack my curry and rice for takeaway.! She get me bill with wrong order and cancelled my curry without asking me .!I had to leave without any conversation bcz my daughter was crying , now without having dinner wasted my special day .! bad customer service, food was good .but I feel they are resist too.! Not recommended to anyone

The food here is always excellent and very authentic. All staff in traditional clothes. Very clean and well presented. Have been here numerous times.

Just brilliant, everything is 5 stars, Can't recommend enough

Incredible. Get a seat on the balcony and live your best life.

Really nice Thai restaurant in Bath!! Their special pad Thai is tasty!

Wonderful Thai restaurants with a wide ranging menu in a pretty venue which makes you feel like you are transported to a rich uncles house in Thailand. We tried the drunken noodles, som tam and basil spicy chicken stir fry with some wonderful ginger tea. The food was very authentic, especially the salad. However, I feel the flavours (apart from the salad) could have been stronger and the peppers in the noodles and stir fry, felt a bit out of place. The tea was amazing and I’m not sure I’ve ever tried anything like it. Great Thai flavours and a punchy ginger kick - I would highly recommend (if you like ginger that is). The service is very fast! I’m not sure if the vast menu means they have a base for the dishes ready (hence the flavours not be very strong in the dishes) and add the few ingredients which distinguish the dishes as a quick top up at the end. Overall, I think it is a great place to eat and seems very popular so suggest booking!

Asked for no egg as am vegan, but they did not. Have completed this request in the past.

Beautiful restaurant, good atmosphere, friendly staff and very tasty food! A bit pricy though! Portions are big too. We ordered a set menu for 3 people plus an extra dish and we could not finish it even though we were 4 people.

This is an above decent place. Staff very friendly, food just perfect!

quite possibly the beat Thai I've had in the UK! Bit expensive, but worth it

Genuinely the best Thai I've ever had in the UK and I've done more than my fair share... The soup was on another level. The curry was perfection. Seriously very very good. I'll be back sooner than planned for this place 👍👍👍

Excellent food which tasted very fresh. Served in a friendly atmosphere. It was lovely to see authentic Thai clothes being worn by the servers. Would definitely recommend it to others & Will return next time we are in Bath.

Nothing special - food bland and overpriced. Good service and lovely atmosphere. Cannot buy a draught lager pint, which is a pity.

This place is pure kino. Like it's the only place that with actually good Thai food in all of the parts of the UK I've visited. Don't recommend the appetizer platter unless you've never had any kind of Thai appetizer before. The menu here is extensive and I would trust them to produce anything on it. The extensively list all uncommon-common food allergens in their dishes. The decor here is absolutely lovely. Like a nice place to take your date. There's balcony access if you beg for it, or if they need more space. The food comes in lovely, kind of over the top plating. The workers here are traditionally dressed. The Thai hot is like 1/12 of a Thai-eyed chili pepper. They have no massaman :(

We came there for early dinner without a reservation. Service was pleasant, food arrived promptly and was well presented. It was fresh, light and not greasy. I wouldn’t mind returning.

Good grub. Decent service. Some of the nest thai food I have had. Some reviews say the staff are racist. This is untrue. My thai Mrs was treated like one of the family.

Walking into this restaurant, you are transported to Thailand. The decor is beautiful and the staff are amazing. The food is absolutely fantastic and the presentation is second to none. Please, if you’re in Bath this restaurant is a must!!

In short, exceptional. Food and service was first rate. The food and service were of the highest level and we will definitely be back.

very expensive for the amount of food

The food presentation was some of the best in town. Then the flavor rose to the challenge! Delicious and a visual treat.

This restaurant is absolutely lovely. The staff, the service and atmosphere is superb. The food is absolutely wonderful. I have been a couple of times and it is consistently brilliant.

Great food, attentive and friendly staff in an intimate and authentic themed setting.

Endroit magnifique tres bien décoré. Le personnel est très souriant et accueillant. Je recommande vivement vraiment super

No food delivered. No attempt to remedy the situation when I called, they just said I should call Just Eat for a refund.

Excellent choice for Thai food in Bath! Great service & ambience.

Lovely place with a lovely staff and great food! Highly recommended!

Food was horrible, staff racist and discriminatory. Notice the demograph who gives good reviews.I was appalled and my Sister didn't know what to do. Even the couple beside us wanted to leave because they identified what was happening. Left a MASSIVE STAIN on my Birthday. Would give a 0 if I could. I guess we need a White person to be treated with fairness, respect & dignity. Oh not to mention they tried to overcharge us. I would've left but by Sister maaannnn. NOT BLACK FRIENDLY. YOU WERE WARNED.

Really tasty authentic Thai with lots of dishes to choose from a friendly staff, recommend for a great well priced family meal.

Found this amazing restaurant last minute with my family visiting Bath , We couldn’t have found a better place to eat, staff were beautifully presented and professional and attentive in every way possible. We ordered a verity of starters and mains , all came out hot , beautifully prepared and presented, we all eat everything on our plates and was delicious. Freshly cooked and tasty. Not at all expensive as expected. A great find . Would recommend . Thank you 🤩

Too expensive, £600/- for 10 people...won't recommend to anyone

One of the best Thai meals we’ve ever had. Staff are so friendly and accommodating, restaurant is beautifully done, and the food was spectacular. And they even brought out some ice cream with candles for me when my boyfriend told the waiter it was my birthday. A must-go in Bath!

Very expensive not at all worthy and quality food, very disappointed me and my friends during our visit in January at the leaving party of one of our managers

Excellent food service was very good lovely atmosphere. Love this place ❤

A restaurant with a beautiful interior and friendly service. Similar prices for most dishes (£14-16), portions not too large, but beautifully presented. Unfortunately too salty and too sweet. 10% service fee added to the bill.

Amazing food. Especially red Thai curry to die for. It wasn't different than i had in Thailand

It was ok, we had the Beef Pad Kraphrao and lamb massaman curry, I was a little disappointed because they didnt offer the crispy egg option on top; but not only that I find it wasn't that great flavour-wise. However, the decor of the restaurant was quite nice, the service was great but the food, not so great.

Still one of our go-to places in Bath. Treated like royalty, staff good fun and food always on point. We will keep coming back. Not expensive, meal for two, wine included, £75, excellent value.

The food was amazing but the service and warmth of the staff was exceptional. Thank you for making my mum's birthday so special
