Thai Corner in South Oxfordshire

Delicious Thai food in a unique setting underground!

Such a lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff the food was lovely definitely filling. I would definitely recommend for an evening meal.

A lovely authentic restaurant that captures Thailand's traditional welcoming atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is 100% cooked from scratch and fresh tastes prevail. This establishment warrants more than a five star review for atmosphere and food. The food is very reasonably priced which just adds to the overall experience. 100 % recommended

High quality Thai in the vaults under the lamb arcade. Prices creeping up but still good value

Really tasty. Plenty of satisfying plant based options (despite menu seeming not offering many options. When you ask, there are lots of options). We had crispy tofu, spring rolls, Thai green curry with vegetables, paid Thai without egg and beer. All really tasty, great quality, Thai green w coconut rice and crispy fried tofu were best vegan options.

Lovely people and fantastic food

We love this place. You get fantastic, authentic Thai food, great service and brilliant value for money all served up in wonderfully bonkers surroundings.

Very delicious and genuine thai food. The staff is very nice and helpful. Will definitely come back again!

Very enjoyable meal, in a quirky cellar restaurant. We will be back.

The waitress was so welcoming and friendly and gave good advice on what to choose as the menu was so varied. We opted for the set meal on her recommendation and everything was delicious. As a party of four we were the only ones eating apart from a couple who only had a main course so there was a risk that there would be no atmosphere but the waitress ensured we had a good evening with her well timed interventions and sense of humour! Highly recommend a visit. We'll certainly be back.

I’ve regularly ordered takeout from here over the last 6 months and it’s consistently delicious! Definitely our go to takeout option for food in Wallingford.

We have just been here. I will not go again. The entrance smells of damp and the whole place clearly has not been cleaned in a while. The carpet is sticky and there is a pile of dead insects and cobwebs in the corner of the toilet. The cutlery and crockery was dirty - maybe rinsed under a tap rather than placed in a dishwasher. Some of the food was good - the red Thai curry, stuffed chicken wings and dim sum were great but the other 3 main courses were very poor - the noodles sticky and rubbery, the sauce poorly balanced and the meat/prawns over cooked. We had driven 45 minutes for this as a special treat and we feel very disappointed.

If you’re looking for somewhere to take your family/friends for a meal this place is perfect! We had family visiting and wanted to try something a bit different. We had walked past this place a few times but always thought it was just a little takeaway - we were wrong! There is a lovely, cosy and quirky dining area and the staff sat us straight away despite us not booking. The menu had lots of and the food was absolutely delicious and very affordable. This is a perfect spot for an evening meal and the staff couldn’t be any more helpful. We will be 100% be visiting this little eatery again soon!

Tasty Thai food for a group of 5 friends in an interesting ambiance down in a cool cellar with friendly, informal service. Surprisingly quiet on a Saturday evening but that meant the food arrived rapidly. I’ve certainly tasted better Thai food and vegan choices are slightly thin but my veggie Tom Yum soup and Green Curry were very good, could have been a bit more spicy but fresh veggies and tasty. Came to £20 per head including starters, main, drinks and tip.

Went out for a dinner for 2. We were seated in a private little alcove for the two of us. We waited a while for service as the restaurant was busy. When we were served the servers were friendly and attentive. The delivery of the food took a while but once the food arrived all was forgiven. The starters were delicious and left you wanting for more, the mains were wonderful too. We didn't have dessert as we were full from the starters and mains but would highly recommend the Thai Corner. We also learned that they do take away too we will be trying that out as well. Thank you Thai Corner for a wonderful meal.

lovely food of the highest quality, not too expensive, staff more than helpful, would highly recommend if you’re in Wallingford and wanting a takeaway - service was very fast too! Think they have tables to eat in but not too sure. Overall a fantastic experience with the Thai corner

Very interesting atmosphere, a little cold but the food is so delicious that you don't notice!

A very nice underground restaurant with unique tables. Staff very friendly and amicable. Food fresh from the kitchen and kids loved it!

Great food, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Good thing they are not close to where I live, otherwise I would not cook ever!

Fantastic food and great service .

Very nice Thai food, freshly cooked and very tasty, lovely friendly staff too. Not the easiest place to find (despite being right in the centre) but worth looking for

Although hidden away at basement level this is, as others have said, a hidden gem. Lovely food, friendly family run service. Keeping to restricted covers in current circumstances, 2021. We are stuffed, should have gone without lunch. My wife's house white and my Thai beer were great. Can recommend set menu for two.

Found this place on Google maps while wandering around Wallingford and feeling hungry. Excellent food, lovely friendly staff and they were even able to satisfy our fussy eater. Lovely, quirky place set in an old wine cellar in the basement of the Lamb Arcade Building, or the old coach house. Will definitely go again in our next trip up the river.

Great Thai food, one of the best we've found in South Oxfordshire 👍

Unusual quaint basement location. Service and staff were great as is the food. Just a pity they weren't open in August so we could get some of Rishi's discount!

I’ve eaten at the Thai Corner countless times and never experienced anything less than exceptional food & service at an astoundingly low price. Staff are always friendly and happy to accommodate dietary requirements etc, and the food is mega. It would be a shame not to eat here if you’re thinking about it

I went a year ago and the moment we stepped in the staff looked at my family and whispered something. One can only imagine he said "oh no a teenager" and said sorry all tables are being used. All the tables were not being used and there was only 1 table reserved...

Had heard about Thai Cornor from friends, so pleased I eventually made the effort to go there. Set the basement of the Lamb Arcade, giving an intresting atmosphere with stone arched areas seatting two and at the rear a small open dinnig area. Service was friendly and quick. The menu has a good choi ce of tradtional thai food, we had agreat meal which was tasty and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit, I will be goin back.

Had a great meal and sat in the vaulted cellar area which was charming. Tempura vegetables are a must - very light batter. We hadn't booked but were squeezed in. I'll remember to book next time as it is very popular. Also does takeaways.

Food was pretty good,service was excellent and I really enjoyed the atmosphere in quite a strange location

Because it was really relaxing and the food was amazing and they had really good service

The worst service I have experienced in a long time along with very rubbish food. The ingredients certainly were not fresh. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere for a place to eat.

This restaurant is in the arcaded basement of the old Lamb Hotel which gives it an interesting atmosphere but also has good interesting Thai food. Alas only open from 5pm and not lunch. Very much worth trying

Great place Great Food & reasonably prices too for the Thai corner in Wallingford.. Over all a good evening Thanks 😊

Lovely food with good and friendly service. This is not a flash restaurant and the prices are very good. The decor is a little Kitsch but in a traditional Thai way. We especially love the low stone arched areas making it quite unique. We have become regular visitors.

Decor could do with an update, and beware if you are tall as very low ceiling but food was excellent and service was great.

We love Thai and chose this as it was outside Oxford. It was a bit tricky to find but we were glad we did. A small restaurant but decor very authentic. We were seated with a choice of tables and offered drinks. We chose the set menu as we generally find these offer a good selection of dishes and good value. Our server was the owner and she was very friendly and chatted about our selection and that it was a good choice. Service was prompt, it not rushed. Even though they were a couple of serving staff down they coped and kept their friendly manner. Our meal was delicious, plentiful and very tasty. When we go back to the area we will go again. A gem, a true gem.

Decent Thai food. Really good customer service. We got takeaway and it was the first time we ordered from somewhere without a website in a very long time. The woman on the phone gave excellent advice about the menu and we had a good meal.

Really nice food - squid and ginger, plus stuffed chicken wings starter. Lovely service too!

Tucked under the Lamb Arcade, a quite unique restaurant in the basement of this building serving good Thai food. Mixture of bigger tables or snug 2 seat tables in alcoves. Choice of food was good, as was service and price. The ceilings are generally low in places, aside from the back larger area. Only negative would be the toilets being out of paper to dry your hands when we visited, but well worth a meal.

Amazing hidden gem underground. The food and service is pure authentic Thai! This is the best Thai cuisine we’ve had in the UK so far ♥️♥️

Superb meal and very friendly service. Would recommend to anyone who loves authentic Thai cuisine, was first class on every front. Thank you.

Amazing food but absolutely Horrible service, very unfriendly staff, made me feel very unwelcome. I do not recommend it if you like a good atmosphere to be, very cold and impersonal.

Very tasty. Friendly staff. Nice and unusual venue.

We eat there regularly and really like the food and service. We always get a warm greeting when we go back.

Have been here many many times before the Thai food here is just brilliant and it’s very easy to forgive the tired decor, quirky headroom of some tables etc etc.However the past three times it has become apparent that their service standards are failing Significantly.I will only talk about this visit as have not mentioned it before because decided to ignore it as love the food.Pre booked a table and when we arrived only 4 tables out of 12 in use. Were offered Thai crackers and orders drinks. The drinks took 20 Minutes to arrive!Then we ordered the strayers and main meals, well ...... basically we had to wait an hour - yes really an hour to get our starter!!!!!She sis apologise and give us some more crackers but for how few people were in there an hour was totally unacceptable without proper explanation.Ate our meals and spoke to the server who told us that the owner was very busy doing take away meals so that’s why we did mot get our food. I asked does he prioritise on take seats over people in the restaurant and her reply was ‘of course ‘.There was no apology at a and we distinctly got the impression that people eating In were a hassle for them because they can’t easily answer the phones or deal with the take away Food.This was such a disappointment for us as we love this place / food and have eaten here loads of times but after the past three visits being so shambolic we really don’t want to book ourselves / go back in ever again.

Daughter requested a Thai meal for her birthday and this is the best one in the area. The food didn't disappoint as always. We will be back again soon.

You go down into the basement off the road and the tables are in a little alcove, it is a nice setting. Staff were friendly and the food was very nice.

Lovey tie food the service is surburge not the the cheapest but Lovey well worth a visit nighty recommend

This has a very simple, relaxing family atmosphere and the most exquisite thai food I have ever had.in the UK.

Great food, reasonable price! My favourite Thai restaurant.

Great good ,friendly atmosphere

I regularly eat here and their other restaurant - Eat@East. Both are superb in every way. The friendly welcome, choice off the menu and delicious food, all cooked in 5* hygiene rated kitchens. I eat in the latter every week now and here in Thai Corner fortnightly. Excellent all round. Highly recommend both.

Absolutely delicious food served by friendly and courteous staff. Very good value in a quirky setting.

The best Thai food outside of Thai land! Fact

Great for a group just ask for a Banquett Menu for the number and the excellent food just keeps on coming

Went here on Friday night for my husband's birthday and introduced my son to Thai food. We chose a mixed selection for starters and several different dishes and sides for main courses. All the food was well presented, very tasty and plentiful. The pad thai noodles were lovely, the prawn dish was really good and the whole meal was very nice and fresh tasting. We washed it down with Singa beers and jug of water. The restaurant is underground in wine vaults so if you are tall watch your head! The staff were very friendly and service was quick. Very good value for money, less that £70 for 3 of us.

A real suprise experience! This underground restaurant is quirky and unique, and the food was good. The waitress recommend the set nenu, which was fantastic. Good vegetarian options.

Quite an usual restaurant as you go downstairs the first tables are in individual arched booths. We were seated at the back of the restaurant that opens out. Had an enjoyable meal which didn’t cost the earth. The 3 of us shared the combination starter for 2 which was ample with the complimentary spicy prawn crackers. We then had a main meal each & 2 portions of rice. I had one of the duck dishes which was really nice. Also had a delicious bottle of white Pinot Grigio & the total was £68.

My parents recently took us here for my husband’s birthday and we had an excellent evening. The food was absolutely delicious. There weren’t a huge amount of options for vegetarians, but what there was was so good. The restaurant itself is full of character and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff were so friendly. When we were unsure about what something was they very kindly brought a bit out for us to try before we ordered it. We will definitely be going back again.

(21.04.18) I called in here on Saturday around 7pm, I didn't book. I received a friendly warm welcome and was shown to one one of the alcoves. I've dined here many times and had takeawas.

Haven't been here for a while, but with the lousy weather we decided to give it a try again rather than have to drive. It was pretty full when we arrived, which is why the service may have been a bit slow, but it emptied out quite soon leaving us on our own. The food was very good - we opted for the set menus - there was plenty of it so we didn't go hungry. It's a quirky little place and hard to find if you don't know where it is, but definitely worth a visit. It's down a flight of stairs on Castle Street, hidden underneath the Lamb Arcade. Not wheelchair friendly I'm afraid.

Nice place with good choice of Thia food but do not answer phone that often, does have answer phone but no one takes of the messages, so have to pop in, but is worth a visit.

My son and I had previously tried to have dinner at the unusual establishment but, eventually, we were able to experience this quirky yet delightful restaurant. The service was excellent and likewise, the food was authentic, soulful and delicious.

Finallly managed to book this restaurant and what a find it is. The food was excellent as was the service. (Thanks Joyce) i was unsure what to order and was not disappointed with any of the starter or main. The staff were very engaging and we had a fantastic evening. This resturant will now become a regular for us as it well worth the drive from london. This is a 10 out of 10.

It's cute. The owners are lovely. It's a little dated and old inside. Think the locals don't get out of Wallingford much so think it's better than it is. Happily go again but don't get too excited.

I'm encouraged to write this because I googled to double-check the hours, despite being a regular, and saw it was here on TA. But then saw the negative review. Shocked. So here to report that we have never had a bad meal at Thai Corner. We ADORE this place!

Went here for a bite to eat on a Saturday night.

My partner and I often visit the Thai Corner in Wallingford as it is one of our locals. Absolutely love the decor, service and food is one of the best Thai 's we've ever had. You won't be disappointed, also we find it's very decently priced for your portions and quality of dishes.

Quirky little underground restaurant with great food and fantastic, friendly service.

Having read the reviews online we were prepared for the restaurant to be in the cellars but were still surprised...

Visited recently charming cellar type Thai restaurant food was amazing as was service. Could not fault would highly recommend and...

Great food and service, was impressed with the taste and staff. The food was excellent and very tasty

Quirky little place, down some stairs to an open bar, plus booths for private dining and a beautifully decorated larger space. Cosy, colourful, friendly, and looks good. Happy to say that food's good too - not expensive, not knock-you-off-your-seat fabulous - but really good for hungry, tasty eating. Staff honestly friendly and helpful. Try the veg stir fry and green curry...

I came here with a friend who has not had Thai food before! He had the stuffed chicken wings whilst I had battered prawns. Both were very flavoursome. My friend then had a spicy minced chicken dish served with Jasmine rice whilst I had a mild fish dish. He was very impressed with the food and enjoyed it tremendously. I always enjoy the food here.

Do not be put off by having to go down a flight of stairs into this old wine cellar for your meal because believe you me the food is second to none as far as Thai is concerned. Excellent choice, the chef will cook your meal and adjust the level of spiciness according to taste, just tell the waittress how you want your food and it is done. Service is excellent, very friendly owners, just wish we lived closer.

Just delicious. And the staff are a delight

I've lived around here for nearly 30 years and have never been to Thai Corner. I'd always heard good things about it, but it was never the first place to spring to mind, as it's a bit hidden away.We picked up a meal for two(£18): spring rolls, green chicken curry, sweet and sour chicken and jasmine rice. We also got a bag of prawn crackers which my 1 year old took a fancy to. Ready in 15 minutes. All delicious and I mean really good. The meat was quality, the veg fresh and crisp. The flavour explosive. I'm going to have to return. You should too!If you struggle to find it, it's opposite The Keep bar. Get a G&T in there while you wait if you are taking away.

I came here on 27-07-17 with a friend who had not been here before. I had booked a table for 7pm. There were already a few occupied tables which added to the ambiance. We sat in one of the alcoves and perused the menu. I ordered the prawns in breadcrumbs with two dips, whilst my friend - tofu in batter, again with two dips. We both enjoyed very much. My prawns were succulent and flavoursome.Mains: I had the salmon with vegetables in a Thai creamy sauce (mild), my friend had vegetables in a Thai green curry sauce (mild). We both had the Jasmine steamed rice - very aromatic. Again, we both enjoyed our food, accompanied with a bottle of Chilean Chardonnay.To finish: filter coffee and mint tea.My friend enjoyed the food so much that she intends to take her partner here!!!The service was good and the alcoves make an ideal setting for couples/friends and solo diners. There is a room with more tables suitable for families and small groups.The kitchen has 5* rating for hygiene!This is one of my favourite restaurants and for takeaway food.

I found this on here and reading a few reviews I decided that I would take my wife here for a birthday dinner. Now her words were "the boy did well".What a restaurant. Small, quirky and in a basement. We were sat along the corridor and enjoyed the most incredible Thai food that we have had in a long time. Also they are very reasonable. Starters are to die for. The mains are hot but full of flavour. If you have never been there try it out. You won't be disappointed

This is the only place I have ever been where I can go in and ask for "the usual". Their pad Thai is second to none, I have brought my whole family here regardless of the occasion.

Really interesting looking place. I have never eaten in but their takeaways are fantastic. Will definitely go again soon.

The food here is absolutely gorgeous and we just love it here. However, we planned on getting a take away and tried ringing 18 times with 20 minutes or so and not 1 person answered the phone. It was a Friday night so understandably they were probably busy but the phone just kept ringing through to voicemail! Very disappointing as we love it here. We will however, still try and go here as you really can't beat the food.

First time at the Thai Corner and absolutely loved it. Having not been before I wasn't quite sure what to expect. However was pleasantly surprised. The location is a little odd, however once you get your head around your in a cellar. It's actually just like any corner in a restaurant without a window! However key part is the food was epic, I especially liked the thai curry, full of flavour. Two of us shared the mixed starter which again was amazing! Will give the takeaway a go next but will definitely go back!

food was good, staff very friendly and helpful - English not brilliant, but in some ways adds to the authenticity of the Thai experience.I'm not normally a fan of cellar restaurants, but this was fun. The alcove tables for 2 have a lot of charm.Staff were helpful in recommending a few less well known dishes and helping to balance the heat and flavours.

The best Thai food I ever had. Amazing home made prawns crackers. Very welcoming people capable to recommend the best combination of dishes in a surprising environment.I would definitely recommend it to Thai food lovers.

We were seated in what seemed to be a corridor... the staff were not that friendly and left us feeling uncomfortable and bemused for our visit. The food, however, was delicious!

Nice atmosphere. Lovely staff. Great food.

Had a lovely meal here, the sharing starter deserves a special mention

An unusual and interesting restaurant. We sat in the cellar under an arch. Very friendly service and food was amazing.

The Thai Corner is an excellent restaurant set in the original cellar of a historic building in Wallingford.The food and service is brilliant, I've always had an excellent mean here and great value for money.

December 2016. Popped in for the Early Bird Menu. As usual, the food was cooked fresh to order and the service was impeccable! I Highly Recommend this restaurant. If you don't like spicy food, they will cook it accordingly, to your requirements.

First visit and we're pleasantly surprised. Between 1730 and 1900 Mon-Thu there is a great 3 course meal deal for £11.95. Tried the pudddings which we'd never normally do. Generous portions. The ladies toilet was missing hand drying facilities and took a while to find the light pull, which was a shame.

Very close to the George Hotel, very reasonable prices, food fresh and plenty to choose from and eat. If I stay in Wallingford again I would eat here again. Restaurant is in the cellers

Lovely place - unique subterranean setting (in the cellars of the next door hotel !) which gives a cosy feel. Ignore the comments about being claustrophobic unless you are super sensitive. Staff are great and the food is excellent - one of the best Thai's I've tried in the UK. Prices are very reasonable as well. Nothing to dislike.

Lovely food well cooked and full of flavour. Friendly staff. Really liked the setting, restaurant hidden away in what I think were the old castle escape tunnels. Alcoves great for couples dining. Great overall experience and recommend - we will be going again soon.

Fantastic friendly staff, food is excellent and plentiful, surroundings unique, use to be part of a wine cellar. Worth a visit

I've been away on holiday and came back craving for Thai food! I popped into this restaurant for a sit down meal. The new member of staff gave me a warm welcome. I was shown to a table in one of the alcoves. Ordered my wine, starter and main course from the Early Bird Menu - 3 courses for £11.95 plus drinks. There are newspapers to read too. My meal was lush, juicy prawn starter and a prawn mains with noodles. They also provide a dish with extra ground dry chilli's and garlic, so that you add extra heat if required. This is a great new addition. My dish didn't need spicing up!I cannot fault this place. The food is cooked fresh to order in a 5* hygiene rated kitchen. Absolutely brilliant. I'll be back soon.

Sometimes when you are dining alone because you are staying away from home for work, it is not the best experience - but the Thai Corner was lovely. They really looked after me - and I know that they were busy!

I was concerned by the reviewers who described this as "claustrophobic" but the reviews which raved about the food won me over. As we crossed the road outside we could smell delicious Thai food which was a great omen for the evening. You enter the restaurant down a set of stairs and as you do you travel back in time by about 20 years (in a good way!).The decor is definitely quirky and we were rather disappointed that our group was too large to be seated at one of the lovely troglodyte tables. Our host was very welcoming and helpful, offering to adjust the spiciness of dishes if we required. The kids were delighted by the Shirley Temple cocktails, which really did need a cocktail umbrella to set them off properly.The food was delicious and the portions of a good size. We had a range of starters which came with carved carrots and spicy dips - all delicious, but particularly the light and crispy tempura veg and prawns (2 dishes). For mains we had an assortment of noodle dishes, curry and rice. The "three chilli" rating could be a little hotter but I am sure they would make it hotter on request.The bill came out at about the same price as a family takeaway plus the cost of drinks, so great value. I'd like to give it four and a half stars really. Its low cost but you get more than you pay for!The restaurant is clean and makes such a change to chain restaurants that you have to give it a try. The only drawback is the fact it is in a basement. This means you go downstairs to access it and need to go upstairs at the back to reach the wc. Not ideal for mobility impaired or those not confident on stairs.
