Horrible food. Loads of skin in meal and chicken was slimy. Not nice at all so I wouldn’t recommend. Don’t bother to go here.

The food was absolutely beautiful, taste, and presentation, the service was brilliant. The location is fabulous, Durham cathedral within eye shot and situated on the river which provides the perfect photo opportunity.

Sadly disappointing experience. Restaurant in an ideal location and has good opening hours. However, the prices on the menu, didn't reflect the quality of the food, not the portion sizes. Also, as a vegetarian, I found the lack or vartiety in vegetarian dishes underwhelming (they are all tofu dishes). Staff were lovely and friendly, just a little disappointing overall.

Had booked a table as we had eaten here before and the food had been very good and the restaurant really nice with fresh flowers on tables etc. When we arrived last night there was a sign on the door and the bar to say the alcohol licence had expired so soft drinks only or could bring your own. No indication of this at time of booking. We were out to enjoy a meal with a couple of drinks and bottle of wine so we left and went elsewhere.

Reservamos una mesa para nietos de 2o cumpleaños para asegurar espacio para nosotros, 6 adultos y 2 bebés. Llegué para encontrar ninguna mesa preparada para nosotros, tuvimos que mover mesas nosotros mismos para acomodar cochecito. La trona estaba parcialmente rota. Después de 20 minutos tenía que pedir a alguien que tomara bebidas orden que tardó otros 10 minutos en llegar y fueron pillados al final de la mesa. Pedido de comida tomada , todos pedimos entrantes seguidos de platos principales. Después de unos 40 minutos una camarera empezó a sacar nuestros platos principales, explicamos que ni siquiera habíamos tenido entrantes (pudimos ver al camarero original hurgando en los archivos de pedidos) y luego trató de decir que no habíamos pedido ninguno. ¡A estas alturas habíamos estado allí una hora sin comida! Su actitud era terrible, nos sentimos muy inoportunos todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí. Decidimos darnos por vencidos e irnos a otro lugar así que fui a pagar las bebidas, ni siquiera obtuvimos una disculpa adecuada, ¡no importa la oferta de una bebida gratis! Nunca volverás a ir.

Located in Durham beside the river Wear Thai River Durham is run by their Thai owner. Service was really good. And the interior is very nice and cozy. Now onto the food. We ordered: Tom yum seafood udon soup - we wanted Tom yum soup and we wanted to order noodles as well. So we got a mix both. The broth was creamy and flavourful. Portion size was plenty with a good amount of seafood. It had mussels, cuttlefish, prawns, mushrooms. Thai fish cakes - these were the appetisers and went well with the Tom Yum Seafood Udon Soup. I usually like to dip my Thai appetiser in my tom yum soup. So this was a good combination. Duck on fire - this was the star. Stir fried roasted duck with basil, chilli and garlic. It was like a burst of flavours inside my mouth. The duck skin was crispy and the meat itself was tender. Loved the sauce/marination. This went really well with the steamed rice we ordered. This is dish is one of their best sellers according to their menu. I’d highly recommend this restaurant. They accept both cash and card payment. Do give it a try when you visit Durham and want to try Thai food by the river.

Warm Welcome, in a well-presented, clean restaurant. The Staff were lovely, warm and engaging. The food was wonderful; so much that we ate there each night of our stay, breaking our plan to try different restaurants! The service, food and atmosphere was great each time. Teh restaurant is tucked away, overlooking the river, and so is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of a busy Durham on a weekend evening, but still close enough to be back in it, within a minute. Will definitely visit here again, we have to work our way through the menu!

Very disappointing customer care and tasteless food. We are not going back to this restaurant. My friend ordered chicken and it looked like and tasted too dry like mushrooms. My other friend ordered grilled prawns but they were also tasteless and swimming in a lake of tasteless sauce. My Duck in Tamarind sauce was not any better. We left most of the food on our plates. The waitress was very disconnected, non-smiling, almost hostile. We actually thought she was racist because she chose to first serve a white person who was behind us on the queue when we made payment.

Visited Thai River over bank holiday weekend and unfortunately won't be going back. We usually opt for Nadon Thai or Zen but fancied somewhere different. We decided on satay chicken for starter and this came nicely presented but the chicken was dry as sticks. We then chose beef panang curry and the duck on fire dish. Panang curry was average, iv had better. This was served with boiled rice. The duck on fire dish was like a spicy and sour dish, edible but not sure why it's called 'on fire' as it wasn't really spicy. This again was average, we weren't wowed at the taste. We are yet to see a waiter come to the table to ask if everything was OK. Small bottles of tiger £6. Average food for over average prices in comparison to other Thai restaurants in the area. Not a patch on Zen.

Unfortunately, the service I received was far from the hospitable and respectful environment I had anticipated. From the moment I entered, the host's demeanor cast a shadow over the experience. Their pretentious attitude and lack of basic hospitality left me feeling unwelcome and undervalued. The expectation of a friendly greeting was replaced by a sense of being an inconvenience, which is contrary to the essence of Thai hospitality. The host's 'primadonna' behavior suggested that their personal needs were more important than the guests'. This not only resulted in inefficient service but also an uncomfortable atmosphere for me as a patron. What was most disconcerting, however, was the apparent discriminatory treatment. It seemed as though respect and courtesy were selectively given, which is not only inappropriate but also deeply troubling. Equality is a fundamental right, and in a setting that should celebrate diversity and inclusivity, such behavior is especially out of place.

Normally come here and it’s absolutely fab however we came recently and it was not the same. The food was ok and the attitude of one staff member was horrendous. After ages of waiting with dirty plates on the table and being the only table in the restaurant we got the bill and there was a service charge on the receipt. We asked them to take the service change off the bill as we were wanting to leave a tip in cash. However we were told it is “compulsory” service charge. She finally took the service charge off the bill after arguing and snatching the receipt off my family member then storming off. Absolutely terrible service!

I eat a lot of Thai food in the UK and in Thailand where I travel regularly. There are a few great places in the north east who have passion for their craft. This is truly awful Thai food. It reminded me of someone at home cooking Thai food for the first time. There was no balance of flavours. I ordered penang curry and it didn’t come with one of the main toppings and it was really salty. Also asked for a hot Thai tea but they can’t be bothered to make it so had to have an iced one that batch make and chill. My girlfriend ordered pad kra pao which was edible but her egg was raw inside. £1.40 for one egg that we wouldn’t eat. The person who served us had a terrible attitude and was very abrupt. I would never go back.

This is my second visit and although I enjoyed it last time, this was definitely not the case when we visited tonight. There was only one other table in tonight when we arrived and we waited what seemed like a lifetime for drinks. Which the waiter managed to get wrong. I ordered one still mineral water and he brought a soda water and two glasses of lukewarm tap water which tasted odd. The starters were good. I ordered the wonton soup and my friend ordered the chicken on toast. Unfortunately, this is where the positives ended. I order a seafood mixed platter for main course. When it arrive I was impressed with the quantity of seafood but there was a very peculiar smell. As I had a bite of the first prawn I noticed that it had two separate temperatures. It was hot and the outside and slimy and cold on the inside and the taste was rancid! I investigated the other prawns by pulling them apart and discovered that they were all raw and the peculiar smell from earlier was in fact coming from the prawns. This immediately made me feel ill. The water returned with our second round of drinks and I told him about the undercooked prawns. He said he would change it right away. No apology. After that I ran straight to the toilet as I felt physically sick. There was no way I would attempted to eat anything else. I was on the verge of vomiting and have been all night at the thought of smelly, slimy, half cooked prawn I ate. Upon paying I tried to get the attention of our waiter but he avoided eye contact. The woman who was taking payment didn’t seem to speak much English. They had taken off my main meal but the entire experience was ruined by the raw prawns. My friend also left her full main meal as she didn’t have much of an appetite after I chucked up my wonton soup in the toilets. I understand that accidents happen but our meal was totally ruined by something that was completely the chefs fault. He should be probing all food for internal temperatures and recording them for their hygiene records. I paid £65 for food that we didn’t eat or was eaten but thrown up in the gents toilets. I will never go back and if I’m ill over the next few days I will be seeking legal action!

Starters : satay and dumplings - see pics, were an unhealthy temperature: tepid, more cool than cold, and definitely not hot. Rice - egg fried - was hot and delicious as was the red curry. Thai man - presumably the owner - was making a noisy racket at a table very near us. Looked like they were watching snooker on his phone. Very rude. Place was empty. No atmosphere. Girl serving us was lovely though. Wouldn't go back.

Worst Thai food in my life. please don’t eat here if you know what Thai food is. My gf and I ordered the Thai Ocean grill and Tom Yum soup which were unacceptably bad. The grilled sea food was totally cold, fishy, stinky and in such a small portion compared to its price of £30. Furthermore, they didn’t even clean the dirt from the back of the prawn (see pic below). The Tomyum soup is salty doesn’t taste like Tom Yum at all.

Please read this 🥲 (first time putting bad review) We ordered Prawn Tomyum, Seafood Grill and Pineapple fried rice in a total of 60 pounds. None of them are good🤦🏼♀️ 1. Prawn tomyum: clear sour and super salty soup without any tomyum taste 😫 2. Seafood grill: unfresh and chewy squid, unclean prawn and mussels served. Seafood was not fully grilled and it’s cold when served. Such a small portion that obviously didn’t worth 30 quid 😫 3. Pineapple fried rice: Very blend just like white rice with yellow colouring 😫 *not just the food is bad but importantly unhygienic🥹. I had a bad stomach kick after having the seafood 🥹

Food was delicious but the Just Eat drivers hadn't even turned up an hour after placing the order. I ended up collecting it myself. I'll be going direct next time.

Just Eat was unable to give a driver so a member of the Thai river team drove out to give my order. He was a lovely and kind man and I appreciate his dedication and kindness to bring my order to me :) thank you so much, it is incredibly appreciated and I can’t thank the man enough!

If you order a set, you must asked for your drink. They won’t serve you the drink written on your set menu if you did not ask for it. This is very different from other restaurants. Usually when your set include drinks, the waiter or waitress would serve you without you asking for it. Wouldn’t recommend, if you forget to ask for your drink in the set and pay , they won’t remind you, and they think it is your own problem not getting your drink.

Me and my wife went here for our anniversary. Got to say we went in there blind not knowing what our choices were and made a lucky guess. Got to say we guessed perfect I had crispy squid for starter with salad and chilli sauce was amazing with a generous starter portion. And if you like a bit spice but not too much then definitely go for the Duck Curry (as written on the menu) best meal out for a long time excellent service and nice pint of Stella. Reasonable prices also.

I will start off by saying we normally LOVE this restaurant. Tonight we sat for 25mins with no drinks or no menus. After an hour when our food came it wasn’t edible. I normally love the Panang from here but there was so much salt in my partner and I couldn’t physically eat it. I hate complaining but I had to say something. Our plates were full we had a couple of mouthfuls each. The staff said they would give me a discount. They discounted 10% (£5). We paid £42 for a bottle of water and a bottle of Singha. So disappointed as this was our favourite Thai.

I ordered Pad kha phauw which it came with rice, taste was good , only rice seemed to be left over and warm with microwave as It's quite dry.

The food was amazing with quite big portions me and my daughter couldn't finish it all so staff popped it in take away containers for us to take home. Staff were lovely, polite and helpful. Nice atmosphere. We finished off with an amazing special green tea. Thoroughly recommend this Thai restaurant.

Fabulous meal in a calm and beautiful setting. Suzy served us and was so helpful and lovely. The food was authentic, delicious and very good value for money. We will definitely be going again, next time we are in Durham 💜💜

Terrible food . This is the second time I’ve been to this place for food and both times have left me Ill. The most recent time I’ve gone I ordered the chicken satay and was given the most poor quality “chicken “ I have ever eaten . Parts of it were not white and actually a dark colour . It was crunchy and chewy . The sauce actually was nice once you ate more of it . The worst part was I got a few tiny bits of this chicken for £7.50

Very lovely experience at Chang Thai, the staff were amazing and very accommodating to all little details and needs. Cater for coeliacs/gluten free, though I found the restaurant menu a little confusing compared to the one I saw online. The food was absolutely delicious! My friend said it was the best Pad Thai she’s ever had! Would recommend!

Went in on November 5th, before going to a fireworks display. The staff was very helpful and made the perfect whisky and lemonade. Lovely evening chatting with friends.
