Thai Four Two in Thanet

Ordered beef with ginger, the beef was grey and tough, there was no flavour of ginger whatsoever! The onions and peppers tasted boiled and again had no flavour. Informed the waitress as she collected the plates and was offered no apology. We then waited around 20 minutes to get the bill, after asking. Maybe it was a one off but my dish was terrible and the service not great at all

An honest restaurant with pleasant staff. The service was sound and well organized. We would definitely recommend.

Been here a few times before and I must say that the standard has never dropped, the food really is top quality. Service with a smile and such a lovely restaurant. The price is very reasonable and you can take your own drink for £2 corkage. A very relaxed and enjoyable evening.

Had a couple of takeaways whilst on our holiday in Broadstairs. Absolutely delicious food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back. If you are going to eat-in you better book. Thank you.

All good. The service was definitely good and delivered with a pleasant smile. The quality of food was exceptional.

My husband and I have eaten here several times and brought the rest of our family this weekend. The food was great as always we had a sharing plater for 5 of us to start. For main we had a Massaman , jungle, parang,green curry and one stir fry dishes. The food was fresh and tasty as always. In my opinion the best Thai in Thanet.

We had a lovely Saturday evening here in this lovely little restaurant. Very friendly staff and really good food quality. Great ambiance and a good selection of dishes. Not licensed but for a very reasonable corkage fee you can bring your own alcohol which makes the meal extremely good value for money. We will be back.

In my personal view this is the best Thai in Thanet, based upon the food, atmosphere and price. Visited for the first time on a Friday in early October. Busy at 7pm. Loved the jungle curry and my wife had an excellent Duck stir fry. The starter mix was also excellent.

We came to this charming little place after an horrendous 7 hour drive from Devon and we were exhausted, however the ambiance is so laid back and chilled we managed to relax and enjoyed a superb meal if it wasn't for the 7 hour drive i would go for the beef red curry every week loved this place highly recommended.

Lovely restaurant. Very smiley friendly staff. We had a lunch time menu £11.50 2 courses really tasty. Lots of fish in tanks very therapeutic.

Really liked the ambience in this small restaurant. The food was delicious and its always nice to take your own wine for a small corkage charge. Really good value and we thoroughly enjoyed the banana fritters for desert

Excellent customer service. I ordered the tofu starter and didn't like it at all. I must admit I thought it hadn't been cooked properly but that was how they served it. Without hesitation I was offered an alternative and wasn't charged extra. The seafood green curry was excellent, the squid so well cooked I could cut it with my spoon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food, and I couldn't eat another mouthful

I visited this restaurant with a friend during the recent local folk festival - so we were lucky to get a table - given that there are only about 8 of them in this small establishment. Located in a residential street just off the town centre, it is a lovely spot to watch the world go by. The place is independently owned and family run, so has a relaxed friendly feel (note cash only and no alcohol licence, so there's a £2 corkage charge unless ordering soft drinks). The food is lovely and authentic. I ordered the thai fish cakes followed by a green beef curry for a very reasonable £8.90 served with coconut rice which is lovely and creamy. The curry itself was delicious with just the right level of spice. This place is obviously very popular with locals, so we'll book next time!

We were very lucky to get a table as walk-ins, but we arrived early in the evening and the place soon filled with pre-booked guests... the reason why soon became apparent. The 'bring your own booze' policy keeps prices low, but the quality and presentation fo the food was of the highest order and deserved every penny being charged. The mixed starters ofr two was devine, as was the seafood and ginger stir fry, a true delight. Lovely and friendly service.

The food was delicious and great value for money. I will be returning soon and it’s a plus that you can bring your own alcohol with you aswell. Very relaxing atmosphere x

Bring your own drinks. Fine. Cooler night did not feel warm thought. Seating uncomfortable. Starter was good main meal served with cold plates not a fun idea. Meal chicken was fine but little taste. I expected better as friends took me there on recommendation. Not likely to return. Staff were good. They were going away for a month to see family.

I was brought here with friends who live nearby. I love Thai food but for no reason in particular I have not eaten Thai food for a while and I was very pleased to eat such good food here.Service was good and it seemed everybody was happy which made for a good night out.You bring your own wine here.

Wir waren zum 2ten. Mal hier. Es geht schnell, ist lecker und preiswert. Und Getränke darf man mitnehmen - Bier, Wein, Limo ohne Korkengeld!

Fantastic place as we had the table close to the window! Really nice spot for couples! Moreover really wonderful food, especially the grilled duck! And last but not least, reasonable prices!! I’ll definitely go back!

Over the years we have visited Thai for two on loads of occasions. The food is always amazing and you take your own drink in.The mixed starters are nice, we all enjoy the Thai curries, coconut rice, chicken and cashew nut and a weeping tiger steak ( not all together). Would definitely recommend and we will keep coming .

This really is a great Thai restaurant. The food is of great standard and pack with flavour. It’s great value for money and you can take your own alcohol with you. The duck orange is a must!

lovely food - very small and cosy but good atmosphere, take your own drink as well which is always handy !

As always the food was excellent. No licence so bring your own alcohol. I prefer this option as you get to drink your favorite tipple. Restaurant nicely presented and staff always warm and friendly. We had the table next to the bar which wasn't the best place when people were waiting for take-a-ways. Recommend booking as always busy. We are always to happy to return and look forward to going back soon.

Joined my friends for dinner and really enjoyed my evening.the food was very good and service also good. Restaurant not licensed but you can take your own wine for a small charge.

We`ve lived in Broadstairs for many years and spent many pleasant evenings at Thai Four Two but unfortunately their standards have been dropping over the last few years and do not seem to be on the up nor likely to return to their once excellent rating. The quality of the food is dropping as is the once excellent customer services. The reception and service has actually become quite rude of late which is a great shame.

Never leave this place going hungry and the portion sizes are definitely something I always come back for! Superb service and meal! Thank you :-) I also never realised this was a chain as frequent the Rochester based one regularly!

Great little Thai restaurant where the service great as was the food, and all served in a great atmosphere. Service was wonderful too.

We have family visit from Scotland on a regular basis and they always want a Thai for Two take out! It is consistently good. The food is lovely, always on time, really reasonable and a great deal.

This place we really used to love however a little disappointed. The food was good but we wouldn't say amazing, possibly a little worse than previously. The staff are clearly interested only in serving and not asking if your meal is good. Also when paying they clearly don't wish to give you change. I am happy to tip but do find a £8 tip on £20 meal where we brought our own wine with us was exorbitant; We had to wait for the change while they tried to ignore us and then reluctantly gave to us, it wasn't busy at that time.

Really delightful food and great hospitality. Tried the duck with tamarind sauce today and it was wonderful. Plus the usual green curry, and Thai fish cakes to start. Really reasonable prices and my mum loved it. Would definetly recommend and we will be back!

My wife and I stumbled across this amazing restaurant looking for another restaurant which had no availability.

Second time we've got food here. Always fresh and authentic. Good prices and a satisfactory range. Food ordered was tasty, with enough variety to please a family of four. Some original dishes, including the eponymous 'no name'. Would recommend for takeaway and cosy eating in.

Had a lovely meal in here last night. Came in on off chance with it being such a nice evening so hadn’t booked. It were welcomed in with a smile. It’s BYO so my partner dashed up the road to get some supplies.

Great Thai food and good for vegetarians. You cannot pay by card, which we were not told on entering the restaurant. Worth a visit.

We did not enjoy this place, food is tiny portions but high prices , seemed to be full of snotty pompous people, was cramped and not a great experience , was not cosey was cramped , its a shame as the staff are really nice :(

Visiting from Australia Made booking week before turned up at Restaurant with friends only to be told they did not have a table!! The table I requested and confirmed by person taking order was by the window which was empty but a table of four had been made into a table of six, staff could not give a sh1t will be visiting Thanet again this year but would not entertain this Restaurant

My partner and I booked at this restaurant for an evening meal. The staff seemed more interested than sorting out home deliveries rather than seated customers. We were sat near to the kitchen where the smell of burnt oil was overwhelming for us and the people on the next table who began to cough. We couldn’t move as no other free tables. Our starter arrived which was a sharing platter. The plate was stone cold and some of the starter was just warm. What was served was greasy stodgy and bland. After taking a bite of the grey very flat and disgusting fish cake I felt unwell shortly after I developed a stomach ache and we had to leave. We didn’t stay for a main course. The staff didn’t ask if we had enjoyed the food, if they had they would have got an honest answer! Would never return to this restaurant.

What a great place. Only found this restaurant by chance and so glad we did. Had a lovely authentically tasting Thai meal...for two! Highly recommended this place, and I really enjoyed bringing my own drinks along! Check it out if you find yourself in Broadstairs.

Went there on Saturday night for dinner and it was fantastic.

Visited Broadstairs for a romantic day/night away and we were not disappointed with the amazing food, service and value for money. My wife would recommend the Red Thai curry, as would I... mainly because I ate half of hers, my meal was exceptional too, great meal, try to book if you can, we got lucky turning up at 18:30 and getting a seat.

I love this place and have been fiercely loyal over many years, 15 plus. It's always been a fabulous family...

A great place to eat with a good turnover of clients which is always a good sign. Staff very pleasant.

We come here for our monthly thai and always find it very reliable in quality, not cheap but its worth...

This was my second visit having been brought here by friends.

This was always my favourite when I lived in broadstairs .

This is the first time I've ever had bad Thai food, and I have eaten a LOT of Thai food all over the world, including during the time that I lived there.

We visited (and reviewed) this restaurant earlier this year and returned last night. Same excellent food and service. Surprisingly busy for a Monday. We chose a mixed starter, 2 mains and 2 sides having taken our own wine. Bill was less than £40. Enjoy.

Went with family recently only second time having Thai and first time for the mrs, as she does not like spicy food the waitress advised and assisted with choices. Plenty of choices and quality was good although I would echo the sentiment that some of the portion sizes seemed small. Will go again.

Been here a lot over the years and always enjoyed food and good service. Last night we went to early sitting booked for 7.30, we arrived early at 7, ( knew we had to leave table by 9pm) so got seated straight away, food came out in good time, waited half hour at end of our meal for desert menu so ended up asking for it, by time our desert came it was 9pm, not our fault the next couple was waiting for our table, whilst waiting for our bill the couple asked us to leave our table as they wanted it!! So rude! Food was ok but portion sizes have gone down. Won't be going back.

worth a visit, staff are a bit cold - very transactional likefood was good, proportion a bit on the small side - particularly the rice!would probably visit againbyo alcohol, enjoy!

I ate here with a good friend who treated me and it was absolutely amazing food, I am fussy with oriental food, and have to say that this was one of the most genuine thai meals I have ever had outside of Thailand. the service is impeccable. It is clean, beautifully decorated and very reasonable. I will definitely be back!

I like my thai food and have travelled a bit to try various restaurants but i keep returning hereLovely family run business with authentic food, beautiful venue which creates a great vibeNo alcohol licence but this is good as i can bring my own and there is no corkage.

Food is freshly cooked .Bring your own wine so any drinking disappointment is your fault!! Nice cosy atmosphere and friendly helpful service

We were recommended this place by our hosts and came on a Monday evening. It is a small family run place with maybe 25 covers. They have a good sized menu with some more unusual dishes as well as those you expect to see. The quality of all the food is first rate although they do not have access to such a range of Thai ingredients as restaurants in London. The Pad Thai was done with beansprouts which I have not seen before. I would especially recommend the very reasonably priced Thai desserts especially the banana fritter in coconut milk with sesame. Service is friendly and the young waitress (daughter of owner) was delightful. The jasmine tea was bags - a bit disappointing and I saw the coffee was instant so avoided. The restaurant is not cheap for a Thai but that is ok as the quality is high. Portions were a bit small though. Bring your own alcohol - there is a corkage charge I think. Reserve a table though as even on a Monday it was very busy.

Enjoyed an evening here with friends who frequently use this restaurant, as they love it. The food was superb and it's great that you can take your own wine. Menu is great value for money too. Would recommend the chicken with cashew nuts and the coconut rice. It was a very busy night - fully booked and service was super speedy, maybe a little too rushed though. Would definitely return for the fantastic food.

Our first time here at Thai for two such a lovely place look like small restaurant but the food still yummy and taste nice. Would like to recommended if you want to go out on Monday night maybe here it's one of your choices to choose.

What a lovely little restaurant. It had been recommended and I wasn't disappointed , great food and service. As they are not licensed you can take your own wine and/or beer which means it is even better value for money. Lovely atmosphere and by the time we left it was full. Book early to avoid disappointment!

Visited this restaurant because it was local to where we were staying and can only report good things. Fabulous food and service. Very reasonably priced especially as you take your own alcohol and they don't charge corkage. Highly recommend.

An excellent Thai restaurant, the food is top quality, the service great, they do not have an alcohol licence, so bring your own. Reservation recommended.

Asked for no peppers & it came smothered in them. No attention to details . Won't go there again. Shame looking forward to it.

Been a family favourite for decades. Go there for nice people and good food or get a takeaway and then you don't have to rush. Seating is a bit uncomfortable and crarmped in places so I always take extra cushions, but the atmosphere is good and bringing your own drinks keeps the cost down and saves quarrelling about what wine to buy.

my first visit whilst staying with relatives locally. Good service, great food and priced really reasonably. bring your own drinks you will be charged corkage but great value. a must visit on our return

Starters were superb. Crispy and flavourful. Fish cakes were good but the spring rolls were better.Main courses absolutely superb. Phad Poa and Cashew Chicken highly recommended. The Phad Thai is a great side dish. The restaurant itself is small and with sizzling plate dishes does get a little warm. Finally bring your own alcohol is a massive advantage. Starters and mains for two forty quid. We shall return.......soon!

I have been using the restaurant for many years and in my opinion they serve up the best Thai food in the UK. It's always consistently fabulous food. It's BYO too so you can always drink exactly what you like. It's always packed so make sure you book.

Awesome food and excellent service. We come here often and everything is always fresh and well cooked and flavoursome.

This is a charming little restaurant in the back streets.Not much in the way of a view or parking but not difficult to park a few minutes away.The decor is very typical Thai and the service was very good.I love the delicate flavours in Thai cooking but unfortunately found the Duck Green Curry I had was under flavoured and lacking any spice. The sticky rice was in no way sticky. The option to bring your own drinks keeps costs down but I feel this restaurant would be more suited to someone who wanted the Thai feel of a meal without anything too exciting!

We have been using ThaiFourTwo regularly for 18 years. The food is always good and consistent. The owners are always friendly and welcoming. Excellent value - we will be back.

What a hidden treasure. Beautifully presented, tastes divine and a cosy atmosphere. We took our own wine and saved a fortune. Cannot wait to go back.

Clearly the locals know this place doesn't have a licence and doesn't take cards but those of us visiting don't and need informing of this before we sit at a table and eat. Had to leave the place twice during the meal to go and buy wine and then again when the owner informed us on presentation of a card in payment that it was cash only. No signage anywhere in the place to convey these two key pieces of information! Told the guy it would be useful to tell his customers this. He looked blankly. Clearly doesn't want new custom. Average 'British' Thai food and not authentic Thai. Anyone who has been to Thailand knows that Thai curries have a thin sauce, not thick like this and carrots and peas are never used. Not a mushroom in sight. You will also never find 'ribs' on a Thai menu. Wouldn't return.

I have now moved into the area and the first meal I went out for was here. Turned up without drinks and the adjacent table offered us a glass of wine - so the customers are very friendly as well. Certainly as good as I remember years ago. Will be having takeaways regularly too now as they are within walking distance. Keep up the good work as I am relying on you for my takeaways now.

Fabulous food, popular with locals and works our very good value as you take your own wine. We would definitely go back here again.

Went for a birthday meal with partner. Food was fantastic, lovely flavours. Service was prompt, very attentive without being over the top. Restaurant is very small but has a cosy intimate feel. The restaurant has no licence so bring your own drinks, they provide glasses but do not charge corkage. It was great not to pay over the top restaurant drink prices and you could bring your favourite wine while enjoying great food. Portion sizes not huge, ordered a shared starter for two plus ribs and then 3 main courses plus rice and noodles and felt comfortably full, all for £60 which I felt was very reasonable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

I was there last week for the first time for a while and the standard was as high as ever.The selection is great , the service was good and you can take your own drinks and there is no corkage charge..

We have eaten here on many many occasions, it is an absolute favourite. The food is delicious and staff are very friendly. My husband and I are huge fans of Thai food, we have tried quite a few different restaurants and we find Thai for Two very hard to beat. Will be visiting again very soon

Hear about this place from friends and gave it a try, phoned up on Thursday afternoon and booked that night for 7pm. Nice atmosphere food great no problems for me or my date. Don't forget to take your own drinks as no licence for alcohol and can take your own soft drinks also

Had yet another great meal and this super little Thai, it's even BYO wine! Portions were a bit small but that may of been us as we had not eaten since brekkie! If you love Thai then definitely worth a visit. Great food, friendly staff. See you again soon.

This was a return visit and we were not disappointed. The food was even better than before! We started with a type of dim sum and crispy wonton. Then we both had sizzling dishes. I had king prawn with tamarind sauce which was amazing and my partner had a seafood sizzler. Teamed with coconut rice was delightful. The decor is quirky and although they do serve soft drinks, you do have to bring your own alcohol. This really brings down costs. Also remember that it's a cash only restaurant. Booking is essential as it's a very small restaurant and necessary to book quite a bit in advance during the holiday season.

We have been coming here for date night for three years and it is always amazing. Service always with a smile. However tonight raised the bar from an already high height. The food is fresh and the flavours are amazing. I look forward to this place every time it is mentioned in our home. Recommend highly and my husband is fussy. Love love love.

We always visit Thai Four Two when we visit Broadstairs! The food is good, the restaurant cozy and the staff friendly.

This little restaurant always delivers food that is big on flavour. My wife and I have coming here for years now. The food is always excellent and the atmosphere always friendly. We are both vegetarian and are spoilt for choice here, although we do have our menu favourites, but today's dishes were exceptional. The prices are very reasonable and assisted even more by the bring your own booze rule.

We booked our table just a few hours before service was excellent and our starter was spot on our main was fantastic and as they are not licensed we took our own wine ( glasses provided) I had king prawns and they were lush. .highly recommend this small establishment but advise booking unlimited seeting and it closes early at 2100hours in week

This is a local Thai restaurant that serves delicious Thai Food. It is a small restaurant and therefore you must book in advance. It is BYO so don't forget to take your own alcohol. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Being newcomers to the area, we had been recommend to this restaurant when I booked on Thursday it was already full for Saturday night but decided to eat early at 6pm when they opened as long as we were out by 7.30pm. It is BYO and cash only so be prepared. The menu was clear and not too extensive. We chose the sharing starter for £10 followed by jasmine rice, noodles, sizzling duck and a chicken dish, total bill £43.00. The amount of food was perfect for us and was cooked to an excellent standard, fresh & hot. Service quick & pleasant. By the time we left the restaurant at 7.30 it was full and buzzing. It almost feels like you are having dinner at home, great atmosphere. We will certainly return

Had a great meal with partner.Restaurant busy on a cold Monday night.Booking TBA I would suggest. Lively atmosphere- interesting interior and a good value menu.The restaurant does not have a licence but that provides good opportunities for buying quality wine and not paying excessively for the pleasure. We bought ours from a small corner shop 50 metres away which does a good trade with customers of this restaurant. Cost £6 approx but would easily have cost £15-20 in a licensed restaurant.Had a great selection of thai starters and two good main dishes with rice and noodles. Food full of flavour and good size portions.A very good value night with excellent authentic thai food.Remember to book as we were lucky.

This is a great local eatery which serves an excellent range of food, particularly good for vegetarians. BYO wine keeps the cost down, too.

We spend a couple of months in Thailand each year visiting family and are always cautious about finding authentic Thai food in the UK. There are several pluses about this restaurant. We managed to get the last available table on a walk in basis on a Saturday. It's cosy and not huge. The guy and woman seemingly running it were extremely efficient and welcoming. There's a fair few Chinese interloping dishes on the menu, I guess to keep the punters who maybe less au fait with real Thai food happy. Thai food can and should stand alone frankly it's interesting and tasty enough. You bring your own wine here and frankly I like that arrangement a lot! Just be aware before you go and also they don't do card payments just cash, again go prepared and minus the cost of restaurant priced wine it'll be very affordable. The red curry was spicy, the jasmine rice excellent. The tom yam soup was fairly good. All in all it's certainly better than Da's Thai in Broadstairs which we thought was disappointing, though clearly others don't think so. There's one more to try and then we'll decide if we are going to eat Thai in Broadstairs which one we'll return to.

Thai four two never fails to deliver. Always excellent, polite & friendly service a six or eight times a year treat... Very reasonably priced and top notch food... I recommend the phad kraprao with meat... For those who like their spices to dance on their tongues... Oh and I love my wife.. X

I was really disappointed, maybe I ordered the wrong dish, which was one with duck. Will not be returning soon. It was dry and tasteless.Some good friends took us, who love it.

Every time we stay in Broadstairs, we have Thai take-out from Thai Four Two. Each and every time the food is fresh, nicely packed for take-out, and reasonably priced. I am always greeted with a smile when I walk in to place my order. I highly recommend Thai Four Two and can't wait to return to Broadstairs and enjoy a night or 2 (or 3) of take-out once again.

We visited this resturant for the first time a month ago and we were very impressed. The food was beautiful cooked and delicious and the service was great too. We are looking forward to our next visit and must remember to take our own booze next time as BYO.

We love this restaurant! Authentic Thai food, always fresh. First class quality dishes, always cooked to perfection. Never disappoints. Great service, ambience. No other Thai restaurant can compare!

I came with friends who have visited regularly for many years. The food is very good indeed. This is a small restaurant and does not look particularly inviting although it is absolutely fine inside. However, the food is well cooked and tasty. It is no good eating in a restaurant that looks spectacular if the food lets you down. I was very happy with this restaurant and would come again.The staff enquire as to your taste and cook to order

Came for my second visit and it did not disappoint. The most amazing flavours combined with a good atmosphere. Favourite dish must be the sizzling tiger. Everything was cooked to perfection.

Simply the best Thai restaurant that I've visited. Food is authentic. The atmosphere is intimate and the staff are very attentive. The best thing is its BYOB which make the overall meal exceptionally good value at around £20-25 per head

We went to this restaurant this weekend and had a lovely meal. We had mixed starters followed by the sizzling prawns which were very good. I love the fact that you can bring your own wine as it keeps the cost down and you can bring something really nice. The service is ok and the food was served within an acceptable time. An authentic and cosy environment. There are two other Thai restaurants in Broadstairs but this is definitely my favourite.

Book a table at this restaurant which was very busy. They don't have a licence so it's bring your own drink. Staff were friendly and the food was very good.

A relatively well priced Thai restaurant. Ordered takeaway which was of 'ok' standard with some of the meats better than others (beef was rather chewy where as chicken was rather nice). when picking up our order the food served in the restaurant itself all looked very nice and probably a bit better quality that our take out. Cash only but they did advise us that when we called the order through.

Our family have been to Thai for two on loads of occasions . On every occasion the food has been out of this world. Our favourites are the Thai curries, chicken and cashew nut and the many starters.The price is reasonable and kept down further as you take your own drink.It is a small place and you can't always get in as a result but is because it is so good !
