Don’t judge a book by its covers! When I booked a reservation here, my partner wanted to walk straight past because she didn’t feel it looked very good inside. What a good job we went in! Almost everybody in there look like they were from Asian descent. Not only was it an exceptional meal, we went back there the next night as well! I totally recommend if you are anywhere nearby

Amazing restaurant, it doesn’t look much from the outside but inside is homely. The food is excellent That’s why you see so many Thai people eating in there and the service is great and the price is not too bad. :-)

A friend recommended this place to us. We have been in search of a good thai place in Bournemouth. Upon entering we were welcomed by the good ambience of a small fish pond and a nice server. We put in our orders which is a green papaya salad and spring rolls. The spring rolls was okay, but the papaya salad was amazing. It had that heat that I’ve been looking for in asian dishes. My husband who is not fond of fish sauce slurped the sauce of it. And then I ordered Pad Thai for mains and he ordered the drunken noodles. First bite and we were mind blown. It was amazing!!! The flavor profile and the mouth feel was just spot on. And the prices were great too. 2 starters and 2 mains was for less than £40. This is our new favorite place in Bournemouth. This place is so underrated.

We were visiting from London and this was my Mum’s recommendation (who lives locally). We had mixed starters for two, king prawns in red curry sauce, green curry chicken, paneng chicken, morning glory (pak boung) by special request, egg fried rice. I can’t overstate how delicious this was - and we used to live in Thailand and Cambodia so we have experience to draw on. And the service was delightful, humble, polite and not over bearing at all. A Hank you to everyone who served or cooked for us at Thai Smile last night. We will be back next time we are in Bournemouth.

Wow I eat Thai all the time. In fact I’d eat it morning noon and night, everywhere I got I haven’t ever experienced all three dishes packing such a punch. It was so flavoursome they all needed to be individual dishes instead of all together. Hands down best flavour Thai I’ve ever tasted and I’ve been around. So glad I’ve found you! Hot takeaway, delivered way before time and I had pad Thai, parang curry and beef salad.

We went to the Thai Smile for my daughter's birthday 2 weeks ago. The decor is very rough and ready and not very welcoming. We ordered a mix of dishes and made it clear what we wanted. The waitress read the choices back to us to confirm. Half the food came and then we waited 10 minutes for the other dishes to come. When it did come one of the dishes was not what we ordered and another dish was missing, so the waitress had to go back and get us the right meal. So that was another 5 or 10 minute wait while the rest of our food was going cold. I think we were charged extra for the dish that we hadn't ordered that we sent back. When the bill came it was much more expensive than I expected but as there was no itemised bill I could not check. I wanted to query the bill with the manager but as it was my daughter’s birthday my wife said not to query the bill but to just pay up and leave. PS. I was very miffed that my wife actually left a tip!

(llevar pedido) Muy buena comida de calidad, pero revisa dos veces lo que te dan antes de comértela. Dos invitados pidieron un plato suave pero ¡estaba extremadamente caliente! Deben haber puesto el chile en el plato equivocado. Además, las cervezas de jengibre "Fever Tree" (como se hace referencia en la página de pedido) terminaron siendo marcadas como "Old Jamaica". La entrega en sí fue excelente (no rápido, pero dentro del tiempo indicado por el restaurante) y la comida llegó cálida.
