Thai Pantry Cafe in Poole

Fantastic Thai food , quantity ingredients and friendly service.

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my partner and the food was incredible, for a very reasonable price. Would recommend the beef massaman curry!

Had a meal here last night & highly recommend! Great atmosphere and interior. Good choice of dishes, all came out timely and hot. Had the chicken satay, dim sum followed by green curry, chicken cashew nut & pad Thai. All delicious - if lived here would definitely be a regular.

We went for lunch and had a very tasty authentic meal. Great value, good portion size and excellent service. We would definitely go again.

Never abad experience or meal, would eat here daily if I could

Food was off the scale and the service was fantastic. We will be back

One of the best Thai food I ever had🥰🥰🥰

Ordered a delicious, authentic panang curry and pad see ew, as well as the fish cakes and spring rolls to takeaway. All of it was soo good, and they offer 10% off for collection! Thank you!

The Thai Pantry has a great range of food, all of which tasted fresh, with great flavours! As a vegetarian, the range of options is varied, and with a good mix of vegetables in all of the dishes my family and I had - definitely the best Thai Green Curry we have had. Additional to the great food, is the fantastic service, a restaurant myself and my family will definitely be visiting again.

We picked up a takeaway as there were only 2 tables occupied on a Saturday night and not much of an atmosphere to speak of. The jungle curry was a soup consistency and not a curry consistency, which was disappointing. The fried sea bass with Thai pantry sauce had a subtle flavour that worked well. The fishcakes tasted like frozen ones and were not made fresh. Food was reasonably priced. A hit and miss experience overall.

Another wonderful meal from my favourite Thai restaurant in Poole

Food was delicious and service good. We didn't realise the restaurant was not licenced but this did not matter. We did find out you can bring your own drinks. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing food ! I had the massaman curry & hubby the jungle curry, both were so flavourful. The owner Steve is the most friendly guy BYO alcohol with a corkage charge of just £5 great also. A shame we aren't locals 😔

Great fun evening with delicious, freshly made Thai cuisine. BYOB is an added bonus. Speedy, friendly service at this family run restaurant. The massaman curry, crispy chicken, jasmine rice and prawn crackers were fabulous - full of flavour and great value.

Revisited on 1st April, partner ordered exact same dish as previously. Must say somewhat disappointed this time, mixed veg was broccoli and cauliflower and some pak choy. She took a photo of previous visit (weird I know), plenty of the same with carrot and peppers in addition. Maybe because it was the Bank Holiday Monday and stock/ supplies were low.

Absolutely delicious food and so reasonably priced. Can’t wait to return! The best Thai food I’ve eaten outside of Thailand :)

Some of the best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand. Really delicious and great service.

Great place - friendly staff and great food. One of the best Thai meals I've eaten. Reasonable corkage charge for a BYO which gave us the flexibility to drink exactly what we wanted. Will definitely be coming back.

We eat there regular and every meal we have had has been delicious if I could give 10 stars I would.

Waiting time over an hour and the food was cold and dry.

Our first time visiting the Thai Pantry and we have been very impressed by the food we had this lunchtime. I had the standard chicken and cashew nut with rice - this was very tasty, plenty of perfectly cooked chicken, fresh crisp vegetables and a sauce that was delicious , leaving a gentle tingle in the mouth. The best chicken with cashew nuts I have eaten in many years. My wife, who is Thai and is often quite judgemental of Thai food in restaurants, had the Som Tam, was equally happy with her meal! Overall an excellent meal, good value for money and we will definitely return.

Bring your own booze, fab genuine food

Cosy place full of regulars, food delicious, owners friendly, locals enjoying off season ambience

Tasty food and looking good,lovely and friendly staff!We really enjoyed!

Best Thai food I've had in the UK, family run restaurant that I'd come back to every day if I could!

Lovely authentic Thai food. Recommend!

Had a good selection from the menu and everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. Came for lunch and would definitely be back

Small off the beaten path restaurant, food was freshly prepared, order got mixed up so a completely new dish was cooked and no charge.well worth a visit

Great resturant, the best authntic Thai food you can have in the south!

Lovely freshly cooked lunch here today. Good choices and vegetarian options and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Definitely be coming back when we're in Poole.

Excellent food, best pad Thai , dim sum to die for. Took own wine, £5 corkage. Will be returning soon.

Great food but exorbitant prices for some starters and cans of coke

Seats were fifthly, had to move the chairs to get one relatively ok to sit on, makes ne wonder about the hygiene in the kichen, which sounded like the food was being microwaved

Nice family run restaurant, friendly atmosphere & authentic food.

Very nice, good food and a good price. Quite busy on a Sunday evening which is a good sign. Bring your own booze for a small corkage and a licence coming soon. Will be going back 😊

First time here Wow what a great place. Food was amazing 😋 service was excellent went above and beyond service with a smile 😁 Highly recommend anyone looking for a Thai restaurant this is the place to go

Beautiful fresh authentic thai food, really enjoyed our visit

This is a nice restaurant serving good food and with BYO which I like. Unfortunately they still have a problem taking bookings. They only have one mobile telephone number which is never answered. I left a message about 10 am trying to book a table for 7 pm that day. I had no response at all. I decided to go over there anyway and as I was parking about 7.40 pm they called me to say they had no space. I said that I was outside so would come in to speak to her. In fact they had tables in an enclosed but outside area which were fine and so we sa down and had a nice meal. But only because I had decided to go there anyway!

Really tasty, ribs fell off the bone with lots of flavour. Fresh red curry was ace too. Recommended

Stunning flavours !!!!!! Seriously delicious… We chose the vegan tempura with sweet and sour sauce. Panang curry coconut 🥥 rice for both and veg and cashew nut with sweet n sour sauce Couldn’t have been tastier Friendly service !! Would 100% reccomend

Lovely friendly staff and one of the best Thai meals I’ve had, and I’ve had a few. Only small but more authentic than the larger restaurants.

fresh and delicious food. The Pad Thai was one of the best we had ever had. The noodle soup with vegetables was exceptional

Fantastic food. Great veg options. Good service.

Had a really delicious dinner here with my partner. Very friendly and welcoming and the food got a wow from me! We go to Poole quite often and will definitely be stopping in again. Heads up there is no alcohol served on the premises but you can take your own for a small charge.

Looked at reviews and glad we chose to eat here, delightful little place very good service and food very tasty . Family who run it were lovely people too, makes it so much better.

Blown away! Fantastic service from start to finish, 3 of us shared 3 curries, the Thai red curry was so warm and a great amount of chicken, the Panang curry was our favourite it was perfectly spicy and balanced and quick arrival time for how busy it was. The duck spring rolls were delicious with a lovely sauce. Just so blown away by this quaint little building we would usually walk past pack such a punch! Will be returning.

We hadn't been here for a few years and learned that the cafe had changed hands. Decor had been improved as had the "garden" outside. The menu was mor extensive and improved. The service and food did not dissappoint. Three Pad Thais and one green curry were all excellent. Overall, well worth finding for a great meal.

Amazing food with lovely owners. We love thai food and this spot met all our hopes and expectations-100% reccomend. We tried a range of their excellent vegan options and was really impressed. Thanks for a great dining experience

Lovely food from here tonight, highly recommended

Amazing service and delicious food! Plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans

Great find and food was delicious. Lovely to see them looking after the flower beds outside, was great to sit amongst the flowers whilst waiting for our takeaway.

We ordered to takeaway, will definitely be coming back we cannot stop thinking about the Calamari! 100% the best Crispy Squid me and my partner have ever eaten!

Ate here during a visit to Poole and everything was fantastic! It was the best meal we had all week. Every dish was served hot and fresh and everything was so full of flavour. We wanted to go back again before leaving but didn’t have time. I highly recommend stopping here for dinner. So many vegan and vegetarian options so there is something everyone will enjoy! Best Thai food I’ve had in a long time.

A cosy cafeteria style Thai restaurant with amazing food. Unlicensed, but you can take your own drinks.

Found this little gem by completely by chance and what a find .The food was excellent and the welcome warm and friendly. This is one NOT to be passed by .

great atmosphere, perhaps not a lot of seating and space but amazing food. food serves fast and is very appetizing. enthusiastic and friendly staff. highly recommended.

One of the best Thai restaurants I visited in UK. Food was authentic and the service was impeccable. A cozy space for you to enjoy the cuisine.

Fantastic lunch for 3 of us it definitely is it definitely is the taste of Thailand . This lady can cook we will be back Thank you

Thai Pantry, what can I say, the food was delicious and fresh. Service was spot on and great value we will definitely be returning.

very nice and tiny place during summer time and good whether I can certainly recommend to sit outside. Food is excellent

A hidden gem. Food was excellent. The lady who served us was up to speed on dietary restrictions (I'm Coeliac). We only went in for a light bite, but will go back again.

Yummy food and lovely service… affordable prices… it’s a lovely little gem

Probably the best Thai curry I ever had.

I love the food. I came by accident while I was searching for some Asian food. The food taste was excellent. Best price

Awesome, tasty, spicy, genuine thai food on decent prices. Visited many times while our summer stay in Poole.

Food was good but small portions, so a little expensive for what you get But the guy who must own it was on his phone full volume on tictok with a new reel every 2-5 seconds made it less enjoyable

Wow, best Thai restaurant we have been to in the UK. Family run authentic delicious food. Freindly service, good price. We will definitely visit again

Thai green chicken curry ordered through deliveroo It had chopped peppers and one small slice of courgette. 3 small strips of chicken Very runny sauce No authentic ingredients as advertised So dissatisfied Emailed them my feedback and they didn’t even reply to me. I will not be ordering from them again.

Thai Treats in Poole. BYO so drinks from Sainsbury’s across the street. Staff lovely. Food ok, if a bit spicy for me. I would return, but I would not rush back.

Excellent Papaya Salad ..a veggie option. The basil stir fry was well made as well. Really tasty.

Good food, friendly happy atmosphere

We just had a takeaway for the first time and it was delicious! Best Thai I’ve had for a long time, can’t wait to have it again! 😄

Authentic Thai recipes with a burst of flavour. I highly recommend this place. We visited with a team of 13 people and everyone loved the amazing food.

Authentic Thai food beautifully cooked , staff welcoming , pleasant and friendly,

So lucky to discover Thai Pantry. Fantastic welcoming service and the most amazing food, we loved it so much we came back a second night. Personally I can recommend the Som Tom as amazing and the Red Curry the best I had out of Asia I hope they are there next year on our visit!

Fantastic Thai food, made there on the spot with perfect sizes. Reasonable prices. Cozy atmosphere. What else can you ask for. We ordered 3 dishes: Phad Thai Rice Noodle. Soft noodles in a sweet and sour sauce. I think it would suit anyone. Massaman curry with a bowl of rice. This is a little on the spicier side, and the flavours emerge after it cools down slightly. But definitely worth the wait. Noodle soup. A slightly sweet but savory soup with soft noodles that try to escape each mouthful. You receive a little platter with salt, oyster sauce and lemon. The lemon really brings out the sweet note in the dish.

We saw this cute looking restaurant and decided to give it a try. There were customers on three other tables so we needed to wait until they had all been served their food until we received ours, probably because there was just one server girl receiving people and serving the food. The drinks menu was limited, no juices at all, no Thai tea at all, just soft drinks and a selection or coffee and tea. We ordered a lemonade and a pot of jasmine tea. Unfortunately it was not a nice jasmine tea, very weak and not the normal type of jasmine tea that we expect. When eventually the food arrived, we were disappointed. we had ordered a red curry chicken, a stir fried chicken with cashew nuts, a steamed mixed vegetables, two steamed rice and one egg fried rice. The red chicken curry was the worst as the sauce was very weak and watery. The way to cook it is to use more coconut milk and less water so that the sauce is thicker and have more taste, but this was watery and not much taste. The chicken with cashew nuts was a bit better. The steamed vegetables was just alright. The steamed rice was fine but the egg fried rice was tasteless. For those who are used to eating good authentic Asian food then this was a big disappointment. Watery red curry sauce just doesn't do it for us.

I went here last year and had a nice dinner and was looking forward to another meal. But the web site said that it was not taking table bookings and so I left a message on their mobile number as I did not want to have a wasted trip there. Unfortunately I never had any reply from them and so did not want to have a wasted journey if it was closed.

What an amazing place well worth the visit. Food was great had a great selection to choose from and all very tasty. The staff were so friendly and funny and catered to all our needs. Thanks so much for a great night.

Best Thai food in Dorset. Reasonably priced, authentic flavours, simply delicious. Friendly and relaxed staff. I can’t wait to eat there again.

Amazing food, definitely recommend!

there are now plenty of this options in the UK - but few that offer an authentic experience cooked with love and soul. this certainly one honest, tasty straight up food served in modest surroundings recommend !

Had a Massaman curry. Wonderful flavours. Staff very welcoming. Would definitely go back.

Very friendly staff, fantastic food! this restaurant is not to be missed! Fantastic vegan options!

This is a hidden gem in Poole, a real authentic Thai restaurant with incredibly tasty dishes. Friendly service, take your own alcohol if you want it. Easily the best Thai we've eaten in the UK and very reasonable price. Loads of choice. Would highly recommend if you like great, authentic Thai food.

Beautiful food. Freshly cooked. Charming staff. Sometimes not open when it should be. Highly recommended.

We discovered this little restaurant just off the HIgh Street in Poole. Unlike the chains offering standard fayre and sharing plates Thai Pantry offers authentic Thai dishes perfectly cooked and flavoured to suit all tastes. It does not charge a "corkage" charge for BYOB customers...

Excellent Thai street food with very friendly service

Incredible food, full of flavour. Friendly and welcoming owners, relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely visit again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food and lovely venue. The young lady who served us was very friendly and prices were very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant place to go if you’re after average food in a cosy atmosphere, served by friendly staff at a leisurely pace with a buoyant price!

Surprisingly good quality food. Ever so slightly expensive but just about worth it.

Thoroughly enjoyed Thai pantrys Thai food, the staff are amazing too, fully recommend 😍

First class Thai food. I will certainly call again.

Just had dinner there. Great place, lovely people and excellent Thai food. Would have given 5 stars but was slightly disappointed with the beef red curry. The other 8 dishes we had were excellent.

I had prawns noodle 🍜 and my daughter had veg noodle. The food was delicious and the staff were very pleasant.

Really tasty food and for a great price. The staff were extremely friendly, an absolute hidden treasure. We will be back very soon. Pictures is the chicken and tofu pad Thai.

Increíble place !! Food was delicious and value for money on top of that. Highly recommended !! Thank you

Amazing food and hospitality. Catered to the groups different needs. Couldn’t fault anything. 10/10.

Very nice food, comfortable atmosphere and good service. We both very much enjoyed the food. Desert was OK not nearly as good as the food.
