Thai Now in Reading

I have been here twice now, and the food is consistently tasty and enjoyable. The only issue is that on my last visit, we were sadly seated upstairs, which was tiny and pokey. There are too many tables too close to one another which made my meal and experience non-enjoyable.

Slight hiccup with one dish ordered being out of stock but offered a wide range of alternatives and profuse apologies. Great value. Substantial portions- we ordered for 2 and there was enough left over for one of us the following day. Everything tasted fresh and clean- good use of spice but subtle and not overpowering Highly recommend it and will certainly return

All OK, in terms of being friendly, helpful, timely. But not the most tasteful, nor the most cost-effective in terms of meals. I'd go back to try other specials, but not as a priority.

As always great Thai food; online ordering is so easy and quick and delivery prompt with food v hot; can only rate as fantastic!

We got takeaway from there, the food was delicious with the Red and green curries being highly recomended. Food cooked fresh and was ready when ordered

Probably tried Thai now about 5 times in the past couple of years. The food is fresh and of good quality..in particular the curries. Only criticism I have, is each time we find the portions on the small side, which means we have to order several dishes. This makes for an expensive takeaway. I'd probably order regularly if the portions were larger for the price paid. Glad to see it hasn't folded during the pandemic and recommend trying at least once.

The food is tasty but the last 2 times I've been the food wasn't ready. So when I went the second time, I actually rang them before I set off to check that the time that is quoted on the website is correct. Yes they said, come down. So again 30 mins waiting (so well over 1 hour in total) at Thai Now I cancelled the order - well just the items that weren't ready, some were. I really wouldn't have minded waiting at home if they were so busy but having been told to come down it was frustrating. I felt sorry for the kids running the place, they were obviously very busy but they didn't have much customer service training.

Can’t rate the food highly enough. Had so much Thai over the years and this is up there as one of our favourites. Just moved to the area and it’s quickly become our local, and all our mates who visit agree. Keep it up and much love to the team

I love thai food & as this is one of the closest takeaways we thought we would give it a try but I was so disappointed. Everything looked lovely but was so bland. The vegetable and duck rolls were lovely and crispy but again tasted of nothing. There was hardly any meat in the duck roll which was mixed in with mushrooms! The dipping sauces were watery but at least added a little taste. The chicken satays are made with real chicken opposed to minced and formed which i liked but again no flavour or fragrance not even in the peanut sauce. Massaman curry watery and again lacking FLAVOUR! The coconut and Jasmine rices were good. Shame everything else wasn't. Sadly won't order again and wouldn't recommend. Such a shame :(

Got a takeaway from Thai Now tonight, the food was amazing. Piping hot, delicious, and good value for money. I was very impressed that even though it was peak time on a Saturday night and the orders were beginning to back up, the kitchen still ensured that every dish was perfectly cooked. Just don't believe the timing given by websites or deliveroo at peak times, have some patience, and you will be very well rewarded with some astounding food. I will definitely be back.

We have ordered from Thai Now many times now both for family takeaways and also for parties too. Food always arrives hot, full of flavour, with generous portions and the service never fails to come with a smile. A friendly and reliable service, very reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Highly recommended.

My family and i order from here regularly. Huge portions and always delicious. Pretty authentic too, but tweeoed just right for the English folk lol. Definitely worth a try

I LOVE Thai food and have tried all the local places. This is by far the tastiest. The vegan options are awesome and the service is excellent, Including the delivery driver, the ladies on the phone are super friendly and can tell you exactly what ingredients are in what. Having had fish sauce end up in a vegan meal from another place in town we will not go anywhere else for Thai food.

Great takeaway with authentic Thai flavours. Can highly recommend without a doubt. Our food was delivered on time and all the dishes we had were delicious. Thank you to the Thai Now team for super service, we will definitely be ordering again.

I love food Thai generally, and Thai Now really produces some of the best I've tasted. The food is so well cooked and fresh, and never bland or greasy. There's a lot of variety on the menu and so many tasty options. I regularly go for the chicken and cashew nut stir fry, and the curries are also very good. Yesterday I ate with a friend of mine who had never tried Thai Now before and he was very impressed, too, and keen to order from here again soon! The recyclable cardboard packaging is another top advantage as I hate all the plastic that usually comes with most takeaways.

I think this is the best take away in Reading. Real food. Everything is always delicious. My only issue is I always want more

I found this place by chance and so glad I did! The gluten free vegetarian Pad Thai was absolutely delicious - I will definitely be trying other dishes in the future and recommending to friends and family!

Excellent range of dishes, friendly service, our number one family take-away choice - including good range for vegetarians.

Really enjoyed our takeaway from Thai Now. Our first time ordering and was so pleasantly surprised by the staff and how quick it was! The food was delicious and will definitely visit again!

This is a fab takeaway on the Oxford Road near Waitrose. The menu is great and the portions are generous. We usually collect but they do local delivery. Can 100% recommend the Chicken & Prawn Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, Chicken Stir fry and coconut rice. Tastes very authentic. Would advise ordering early on a Friday/Saturday night.

Delicious food with good menu selection and excellent service. Looking forward to order again. Well worth five stars!

Me and my mother are both vegetarian and they gave us a meat dish, however the pots were labelled vegetable and tofu so we proceeded to dish up and i took a bite assuming they must be vegetarian to find if just eaten meat for the first time in 12 years thanks to the careless mistake of the takeaway service

Este es un negocio de comida para llevar y entrega a domicilio; no subestime la calidad de la comida debido a esto.La comida aquí es tan buena que viajamos desde Spencers Wood y la recogemos. Las salsas son deliciosas y auténticas, el arroz siempre perfecto y los extras súper deliciosos.La comida está empaquetada en cajas de cartón que a mi abrazador de árboles le gusta mucho.Recomendamos encarecidamente un viaje a Thai Now solo para probarlo porque es muy bueno

Esta comida para llevar ha estado abierta durante todo el cierre y se ha trabajado duro para producir constantemente comida tailandesa de excelente calidad. Todavía tengo que intentarlo mejor. Piense que la clave es el uso de ingredientes frescos y platos con sabor auténtico. Personal amable y precio razonable. Esperamos nuestra próxima visita.

Excelente comida elaborada con ingredientes frescos. Sabor completamente auténtico. No encontrarás mejor comida tailandesa en esta área, ¡especialmente si te gustan las cosas CALIENTES!

Estoy feliz de visitar este gran lugar para tomar un camino, la comida fue fantástica, el personal amable y excelentes precios.

Tenía comida fantástica (como siempre) de Thai Now esta noche. A pesar de ser muy comercial debido a Covid, la entrega se realizó exactamente como predijo su plataforma de pedidos en línea.La comida es un poco más cara que otras comidas para llevar, dado el tamaño de las porciones, aunque siempre tiene un sabor fresco y aprecio el empaque de comida para llevar más ecológico. Mi único comentario es que he pedido la sopa Tom Yum varias veces y cada vez quedan algunos ingredientes en la sopa que no son comestibles, como grandes trozos de lo que creo que es jengibre.

Conseguir esta comida para llevar siempre es un verdadero placer, pero solo una vez cada 3 meses, ya que es bastante caro.Para 4 adultos, normalmente obtenemos arroz frito con 3 huevos, 2 pad mae y 3 curry diferentes. (A veces puede durar para el almuerzo del día siguiente).El penang de verduras es el mejor plato que hacen en mi opinión, no muy picante pero delicioso.Siempre recolecta, los tiempos de entrega son generalmente de unos 60 minutos (¿no crees que tienen muchos repartidores?), Además, cuando bajas a recolectar, puedes decir que todo está hecho en un ambiente fresco y encantador.

Nos encontramos con Thai Now después de una recomendación de amigos. Queríamos probar un par de platos antes de dejar un comentario. Nos encantó el pollo al curry rojo y verde tailandés, lleno de sabores auténticos, la cantidad justa de picante y el tamaño de las porciones fue perfecto.Para pedir una comida para llevar fue muy fácil y se puede hacer en línea, la información adicional en el sitio web es útil si necesita orientación sobre los diferentes platos. Nuestra comida nos fue entregada sin problemas. El empaque es excelente, muy ecológico, lo cual es agradable de ver. ¿Definitivamente se ha convertido en nuestro nuevo favorito?

Pensamos que la comida era muy cara teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de las porciones. Ambos curry tenían muy poca carne, toda salsa. Más de 33 años, para 2 curries, 2 arroces y 1 entrante. La comida era sabrosa pero sin sustancia para los platos. Lamentablemente, no volver a hacer el pedido, ya que también tardó más de una hora en la entrega.

Pedimos una comida para llevar familiar, una mezcla de entrantes, arroz, fideos, curry tailandés y platos vegetarianos para que todos estén contentos. Ciertamente lo hizo! La comida era fresca, auténtica y muy sabrosa. Platos de calidad, la mejor comida para llevar que he probado este año, ¡y hemos probado mucho! Definitivamente lo recomiendo!

Just had another excellent meal from Thai Now, the food is lovely. Good Value, hot fresh and good size portions.

I love this Thai takeaway. Whatever you choose to eat you will not be disappointed. We ordered a Thai Now takeaway as a group of girls for a evening get together. We all were very happy with our choices - the food was as delicious as always. I ordered the Tom Kha soup and Prawn and Cashew Nut stir fry. Both dishes were so yummy and good sized portions too. I only wish this takeaway was a bit closer to me - I would be ordering from there all the time.

My Partner and I have just moved to the area and were recommended to try here whilst we wait for our fridge! Below is just my initial take but we liked it so much I’m sure we will be back! We ordered the egg fried rice, a vegetarian Pad Thai, and the Paang Curry. • food was tasty. You can’t fault that and was up to restaurant quality despite being cooked in a takeaway size kitchen - the Pad Thai could do with a kick but I would ask for that separately • the portions were ok. The PT was more than enough and the curry looked so too. The rice portions are a little small to share if you want the curry to be full, so would recommend just getting two portions if you both want rice. • vegan options available as well as gluten free which should be seen as a plus - most dishes I browsed could be vegetarian!you can’t compare this to your average ‘Asian’ takeaway - a lot of reviews are therefore they seem dissatisfied on size of portions and quality. At the end of the day it’s a specialist takeaway sitting well within your cheap quick takeaway and a restaurant. Having worked in a similar place before the food is normally very good but you are paying for the quality. Also the packaging as far as we could tell could be recycled!The bloke working was friendly and seemed to know his stuff. The owner was cooking our dishes therefore the story online is true enough for first timers. Overall we left having spent all day moving, cleaning, and unpacking very satisfied and happy we tried it over a local Chinese takeaway.

We have been going to this Thai restaurant since it opened & have never been disappointed. The food is excellent and authentic and the staff are friendly and helpful. Efficient delivery service too. Would highly recommend.

Best quality food by any standards for take away and delivery. Very professional and friendly stuff. Me and my family use Thai Now since about 3 years and it only gets better. Keep up good work Thai Now Team.

Lovely Friday dinner from Thai Now.We try it and loved , now we are back . Bon appetit. Nice way to spend Friday

We had a lovely take away this evening from Thai Now. All the meals were delicious, the Weeping Tiger steak was lovely, and the curries were of the same high standard as usual. We highly recommend Thai Now. It’s a healthier take away option, which is great!

I've had this takeaway a handful of times now and everyone of them has hit the spot. Top quality Thai food that is fresh and full of flavour. Love the presentation in cardboard containers, they have a great Gluten-Free range, as well as considering pescatarians, meaning they consider modern-day diners! Also sign up for their mail/texting list, as I get offers through that are sometimes too good to turn down! Keep it up team Thai Now!

We had a party for 18 to cater for and Vivien prepared the most delicious food for us - and everyone loved it. Ordered in advance - worked a treat! Highly recommended for large groups.

We ordered from Thai Now for the first time last night and we were delighted we made that decision. Ordering online was easy and quick, the deliver timer managed our expectations of when the food will turn up - which was slightly early - no complaints there! The food itself was delicious and hot when it arrived, we also liked the fact that there was no plastic in the packaging at all - all paper based.

Excellent food freshly made by friendly knowlegeable staff. Highly Recommend will definitely return. Get your fix of great authentic thai food

This was my first visit, I have been here before whin it was an Italian.

Just love the flavours and freshness The sizes could be bigger but all great food..The Tastes were just like when I went to Thailand

I was so impressed with Thai Now from the moment I rang to place our rather large order. I have food intolerances and it was a refreshing change to see plenty of gluten free options on the menu. I was also given advice on what I could and couldn’t eat when I rang up and what ingredient they would substitute for me. Brilliant. Gave me loads of confidence.

I have eaten in very good restaurants across Thailand and in London Thai restaurants like the Blue Elephant and the Crazy Bear. I can safely say that the food served at Thai Now in Tilehurst, Reading stands up to the best Thai food I have had. The curries, stir fries and salads are excellent and all in all fantastic food at a very reasonable price.

Authentic dishes but very costly for a takeaway and considering the small portion served. Could get better serving portion from a Thai restaurant for similar price.

This takeaway only place is very friendly with comms -

Great food as always. Can highly recommend the Thai fish cakes and Chicken Massaman Curry which is what I ordered this time. I also tried my friend's Chicken Tom Kha which tasted incredible, better than the one I had in Thailand. Try it if you have not been - you will not be disappointed.

Takeaway with friends. Food was, as always, absolutely delicious. I have ordered from Thai Now on several occasions and am always delighted with the friendly service and high quality dishes. Try starting with the beef salad - it is the best I’ve ever had - followed by the ginger stir fry with some perfectly steamed vegetables. Yummy!

Had an evening in with friends with a lovely selection of food to cater for a mix of diets veggies, gluten-free and dairy free! Thai Now was able to cater for everyone and delivered quickly. Food was great and lovely and warm. I hadn’t ordered Thai in a while and had forgotten how great the food was from here! Will be ordering more often.

Viv and her team give you the best authentic Thai food, All fresh with wonderful flavors def worth giving them a try you wont be disappointed.

We have ordered from Thai now for over two years now. The food is always delicious. It’s our family treat. The staff are always friendly and prompt. We love it keep up the good work guys.

Family visiting and had another great meal which always goes down very well with guests. Penang curry gets better and better and Chicken, garlic and black pepper yummy.

What a gem! Everything we ordered was delicious- even the fussy teenagers agree! The staff were polite and helpful and the service was quick. Love the environmentally friendly packaging! Cannot wait to go back!

Over the past year when delivery has been ordered the level of customer service provided by both the staff and the owner very surprisingly has been poor. There have been incidents which have surrounded receiving dishes such as stir fries with vegetables with no vegetable, stir fry spicy prawn with no prawns, wrong order delivered. On no account when a complaint has been lodged has any response been received or any alternative solution or compensation been offered. In fact when followed up, the owner has claimed her staff are overworked, and too under pressure to get the orders right and has been quite rude and Irresponsible.. It’s a shame as the food isn’t bad, but I certainly shall not be ordering from there again!

Great takeaway - the food is really fresh and tastes like "real" food. Caters very well for vegetarians and non-meat eaters. Staff friendly and service fast. Definitely recommend.

Fancied a good Thai takeaway and this did not disappoint. Freshly cooked and really good value, particularly enjoyed the squid fritters, green curry and their new prawn crackers. Will definitely be back for more.

Best Thai ever had very prompt delivery food lovely and well presented will be using again reasonably priced value for money

We ordered a tub of Thai Green chicken and Thai yellow Chicken curry for a party of 50 people. It was absolutely delicious, amazing service and all our guests raved about it.

I love a takeaway, and quite often get different ones from around the area. All normally good, and do exactly what I require. Thai Now put a menu through our door last week, and tonight decided to give it a try. I can honestly say, thats in the top 3 Currys I've had. It was absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend this place. I rarely put reviews on here but it was so good I felt I had to straight away! Definitely give it a try!

From the very first mail shot all those years ago I was very excited that we finally had a local Thai takeaway, variety at last.

Fab takeaway - food tastes like home made. We had chicken with cashew , Beef Penang and prawn gra pow. All fresh and full of authentic flavour. Loved it!

Whenever we visit family in Reading, we always order from Thai Now, never disappoints. Food is so well prepared, fresh and nicely packaged. Always popular with the kids.

We had a takeaway from here and it was really tasty. We had the red curry and the massaman chicken. The red curry was pretty spicey and the massaman was savoury and satisfying. We have been to Thailand and the flavours were spot on. We like the way it was cooked and think it is great value. We will definitely be back.

I ordered a takeaway for 24 - great value and good customer service. Would rec and will use again. quality of meat was very good.

Having passed here many times we thought we would give it a go. Portion sizes are not acceptable! Curries ordered were coloured water with a few bits of meat and some onion. This is a soup not a curry! For the price this is ridiculous and there is no way I would go back to be ripped off again!

I gave myself the night off and ordered the most unbelievably delicious Thai take away. All my family adore Thai food which they experienced on a recent family holiday. Thai Now was exceptional, piping hot and full of flavour. I highly recommend

I always go for chicken and prawn Pad thai dish when i visit the restaurant and also ask for the extra satay sauce. It is honestly the best Pad thai- authentic Thai taste. I have tried the Pad thai in many restaurants such as Coconut bar and Kitchen, Wagamama and many other takeaways. Portion is generous and the tamarind sauce used is delicious. Friendly staffs and very knowledgeable about their products. Expensive than most takeaways but the food are made very fresh! :)

Both myself and my partner just ordered

Excellent, great food , great service.

We have used Thai now quite a few times and it is always so nice, good quality food and so tasty, yes the portions are not massive but you are get good quality food Would recommend please try!

Ordered here as recommended by a friend.

Preordered via the app which gave a clear pick up time which was really useful. Pick up was quick and easy and staff were very helpful as I had questions about heating dishes up etc as we live over 20 minutes away.

We ordered 3 mains (red curry, pad Thai & sweet & sour), 2 x 2 starters (veg spring rolls & chicken satay) and coconut rice today.

What can I say. I have had take always from here several times and the food is always consistently brilliant. Authentically spicy, they went over the call of duty to customise a dish for my 9 year old to get it just how he wanted. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

Ordered a takeaway from here last Friday after driving past it hundreds of times and also saying to myself we would try it. Well we did and I have to say the food was exceptional. I would go as far to say as it's the best Thai food I have had since visiting Thailand some years ago. We had the set meal for 2 and everything was spot on. There was a slight mix up by them forgetting to put the Thai green curry in my bag and I only realised when we got home but a quick call to them and they delivered it to my door 10 minutes later with sincere apologies. I was always think that mistakes can some times happen especially in a busy takeaway but it's how you deal with those mistakes that count and they dealt with it quickly and effectively and you can't ask more than that. Would certainly recommend as all food we had was packed full of favour, extremely fresh even somewhat healthy and you didn't regret having a curry after like you can with a greasy Indian. We will definitely be returning!!

Fantastic Thai - fresh ingredients and really tasty. Thai Now don't deliver to Caversham but it is worth the drive for collection. The food was still hot when we got it home. Would highly recommend and look forward to our next take-away.

Great authentic Thai food , been to loads of Thai take always but this particular take away nails it really good value for the quality.

I read the reviews so we gave it a try. It only took 15 minutes for the order to be ready for collection and my daughter's vegan request was made especially for her requirements. I agree that it's more expensive than a Chinese but it was real quality and very tasty, and they take credit cards. Moreover as I'm not a fan of chillies the dishes are rated for spicyness and my choice (prawn pak choi) wasn't hot at all, just really tasty. We'll definitely go back to try other dishes.

Much better than Chinese. We loved it a bit expensive but you always get what you pay for. The vegetables was so crunchy

Amazing food, lovely and spicy - our friends staying with us we're really impressed and wanted a Thai Now near them! Great menu choice too.

What a great place, we have just come back from Thailand and it seemed like we were there again food wise. Weather in the uk no great though. Lovely food well done chefs.

Absolutely fabulous Thai take away. Fresh ingredients, good packaging, delicious menu.

I tried this last night on recommendations from friends and it was delicious. The food was flavoursome and the staff v friendly. As good as my friends said it would be. Will be back - thank you.

Have ordered from Thai Now on numerous occasions and I have always thought it was worth over £30 for a dinner for 2. (That's no starter, just main and side of prawn crackers), my husband has been less satisfied with the portion size in relation to cost. However our last order was less than impressive. The chicken penang had very little chicken. 85% sauce. The other dishes were tasty but small portions. Unfortunately because it's so pricey (£16 per person for just 3 dishes) we will not be ordering again.

Had previously had a below par visit here not long ago and against my better judgment decided to give it a second chance as i was in the area. No one can dispute it is a busy take away, but for me it just isn't tasty enough. Spicy squid starter had a tasty side dip but too much batter and too little squid didn't thrill. Chicken Massaman curry likewise became very boring after the third mouthfull. No intriguing flavours that Thai food can produce at it's best. The pad Thai was dry despite a request to the contrary and no hint of the usual fish sauce or tamarind that usually accompany it. The Thai mei was plain noodles with egg & peas so nothing to ruin there. So i'm afraid that's where i will leave it. There are just far too many options available to waste my hard earned cash here for a third time.

We ordered the set menu for 2, plus a special rice to feed 2 adults and 2 children. Delivery was prompt and within time specified (30 minutes). Everyone loved the food (spicy beef curry for daddy only!) Was a real treat and will definitely order again. Thank you!

Tried Thai Now for the first time on Friday night (10th). Really excellent thai food, lots of veg, great flavours. It is good value because of the quality - you get what you pay for! Will definately go again.

This takeaway is brilliant. Really friendly staff who know all about what they're serving you. Quick service and the food was really tasty. My favourite is the sweet and sour. Would definitely recommend! Eco Friendly packaging is a bonus too.

After great reviews of this restaurant i decided to give this place a try. However, what came was a mixed bag and a little heavy on the price for the quality. Four meals, one of which was coconut rice for £31. The rice itself was ok but could have benefited from more coconut taste. The pad thai gai could likewise have been improved by more sauce being added. The star dish was the Panang chicken curry that was nicely spiced and really tasty. The shocker dish was the special of duck in tamarind sauce. When i got home i was amazed to see several slices of dry overcooked & chewy duck lying on a bed of three overripe slices of tomato, three slices of cucumber and two tablespoons of cabbage that hadn't been helped by lying underneath the cooked duck. The tamarind sauce was pleasant, but the duck dish looked nothing like the picture on Facebook. Quite honestly this dish would have ended up back in the kitchen had this been a sit down restaurant. Hopefully this was a one off, however the juries out on whether it is worth giving them another go for the price especially when there is so much competition and there are cheaper good sit down restaurants locally.

Excellent, delicious Thai food. The flavours in the dishes are amazing and seems a much healthier alternative to the greasy takeaways you typically get. The whole families no. 1 choice!

Excellent food, tasty and great quality - the family love it! Restaurant quality food from a takeaway - so glad you are close by so that we can visit often!

Tried this tonight, and it was really nice!

We order from Thai Now on a reasonably regular basis and have not been disappointed yet. The food is well spiced, very flavoursome, fresh and as good as most other Thai restaurants I have experienced. The staff are very friendly and efficient, the food is reasonably priced and I am ecstatic that we can get excellent Thai food delivered to our door!

Great menu , fresh authentic Thai food . Thai beef salad was beautiful the beef was cooked perfectly , green curry and chicken satay also lovely. Very friendly staff also asked how spicy you wanted each item will definitely be using Thai now again .

We ordered chicken Penang and chicken pad Thai, all came super quick, hot and tasted lovely! Definitely recommend

The menu options were explained to us and recommendations made based on our preference for milder dishes. The food was excellent: tasty and freshly prepared with quality ingredients. We'll be back!

Another great take away from Thai Now. This visit we enjoyed a scrummy chicken Phad Thai, a tender beef panang, tasty chicken with cashews and heavenly Thai green chicken curry.

Thai Now now deliver, but sadly not free delivery and I think because of this more people won't sample their great food.
