thai thai eXpress in Southampton

The delivery was delayed multiple times, so it was an hour and a half late. The restaurant had already cooked the food based on the earlier delivery time, so by the time it arrived it had gone cold and stale. It wasnt enjoyabl. Usually it's very good

Delicious!! Would definitely order again!

Delicious. Flavours were lovely and food arrived hot, will be ordering again in future.

Very tasty food and good portion size.

Not ordered from here before but will definitely be using again! Food was delicious and piping hot!

Was recommended this place from a friend. So I thought give it a try and when I ordered at 7pm my order said would be about 45 mins which was ok But then I got an update to say still trying to locate a driver, your shortly be updated, after waiting over 2 hours for my food to arrive… not only was it stone cold but 2 items missed off order, when I called the restaurant to let them know they told me its wasn’t their issue, even thou I had a receipt and they had clearly marked off 2 items off the receipt but charged me for the 4 items. They said I needed to speak to Ubereats which is an absolute mission to even get a compliant or my point across. I was refunded £8.00 from ubereats but the food was stone cold and not delivered in the time it stated I get that on a Friday night they are busy but to have to wait over 2 hours for food and then not have what we paid for is disgusting customer service poorly organisation I don’t want to eat cold food at 9.45pm at night and to be told it’s not their problem I do not recommend this one of worst online delivery experience I ever had

Sloppy average meal definitely underwhelmed; ParThai and Masamam curry bore no resemblance to the traditional dish, shame

**Amazing Food and Flavors!** Ordered the Pad Thai and Thai Green Curry, and hands down, this was the best Thai food I’ve ever had! The Pad Thai was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of sweetness and spice, while the Green Curry was rich, creamy, and bursting with authentic flavors. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Can’t wait to order again! Highly recommend Thai Thai Express if you’re looking for incredible Thai food.

This is authentic Thai food!!! Cannot believe I’ve never had this before. We had the red curry, larb gai (my favourite!!) but warning, it’s spicy!, sticky rice, spring rolls, garlic chicken wings and crackers. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would recommend. This is the food you would actually get in Thailand. Will definitely be having again.

Speedy, easy hand over, good food

Great food very tasty and good portion sizes

Delicious food and great portions, so plenty for leftovers. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent take away. Thai Chicken Red Curry, Duck Red Curry, Prawn Pad Thai, Steamed Rice. I collected it myself. Very friendly lady took my order, which was ready within about 15 minutes. Piping hot when I got it home and really tasty with plenty of prawns, duck and chicken. Recommended.

I just cant stop thinking about the spring rolls … superb ! The soup had too much lemongrass though it tasted like soap not soup :( but it was lovely and fresh !

Really disappointed by our prawn pad thai which only contained a single prawn! On this basis we’ll not be using this restaurant again.

I have ordered red curry panang curry and pad Thai . All dishes have nice balance of taste nice hot and spicy . Fair portions . Recommend

Very nice beef massaman with cocunut rice. Arrived early.

excellent thank you. delivery driver was very nice.

Excellent food and lovely home cooking . A friendly couple cooking authentic Thai food . Highly recommended . Excellent fresh fish and quality ingredients at very good value for money . Awesome !

Very disappointed with Nuttiya Thai which has been changed over from Thai Thai on deliveroo. I was a regular customer at the previous named Thai Thai but when I ordered yesterday it was very disappointing, I don't know if the ownership has changed hands. One lamb shank massaman replaced with beef, no refund offered just a sorry note stuck on the box. The restaurant didn't contact for an alternative option and my friend didn't eat beef. (We had ordered two of the lamb). My husband ordered the spicy sea bass which is usually filled with fish and a variety of vegetables but this was less than half of the usual portion. It's a shame the flavours are good which is the reason for my 2 star. I believe chef is the same, however, their lack of customer service was appalling and huge reduction in portion size compared to our past orders left us all unhappy and hungry. If I had not called I would be charged for the more expensive order or refunding the difference. I had to call the restaurant and was meant with an abrupt "put it in the bin and get a refund from deliveroo". There was no offer of would you like us to get an alternative out. Sadly I will not be going back as the prices have also increased for a very poor service and cut backs.

Yet another fantastic meal from this place. Certainly the best Thai takeaway in West End delivery catchment.

when you look, 3. something don't look. at raitngs I used to cook in Thai restaurant this is the best food. order specials always happy easter 🐣

Lovely food! Tastes very authentic. Lovely duck curry and very yummy noodles. Will be certainly ordering again!

We actually had a takeaway from here which was really not good. The beef jungle was half full of thai basil and overpowered the dish massively. It wasn’t a curry,was looking more like a soup,very watery…very disappointing and never go back to order from there!

My wife is Thai and she really enjoyed the food and staff

You can't beat this place food is another level

Visiting from the US! Best Thai food we’ve had out of all us Thai restaurants! Amazing family owed restaurant. Nice people who will serve you some amazing food! Cash or bank transfer only. Or you can order in Deliveroo app

Yes lovely Thai couple run this place and the food is very good authentic Thai food I highly recomend a visit

👍: Grilled pork chop, garlic chicken wings, beef rice noodles, coconut rice, beef salad, spicy pork mince. Thai milk tea is also delicious, but the taste is bland without adding less condensed milk. A friend recommended fish cake. 👎: Steam prawn is very sour and salty. Mushroom soup is very acidic and very low value for money. The roast duck is quite delicious but very sweet at the end.

Order twice from deliveroo, the first is very good; second time is not good, phad Thai noodles only have 4 pieces of prawns and very plain seems forget putting salt, also there is a unknown hair in beef mince dishes

An authentic fanily-run spot that goes the extra mile to make things from scratch, and has Thai dishes you can't get elsewhere. The red curry sea bass is a wonder!

Had takeaway delivered. The prawn toast was the worst, soggy and greasy and horrible taste. The massaman curry tasted okay but definitely not the best. Noodles with bean sprouts was very greasy. Egg fried rice with veg not too bad.

Lots of dishes. The taste seem like you are eating in Thailand. It is very authentic Thai food such as herb smell, seasoning and spicy. You also eat vegan food. I will come back again.

Tasty and authentic Thai food, my only constructive criticism is it was cooked in far too much oil, but otherwise delicious and would happily order again. Thanks

Absolutely lovely. First time for take out here. So tasty & very generous portions. Delicious

yummy, sour and spicy, really taste like Thai, mouth watering.

Ordered dinner for 5, reasonable prices, very fast delivery, met the gluten free requirement for one dish with no issues at all. Delicious, large portions, looking forward to ordering from here again.

Wrong order sent. Rude, couldn’t care less delivery driver. Late.

The food was excellent, and very nice staff with excellent service as well

Hugely disappointed. Thai green curry was greasy- covered by 1cm oil, chicken too salty indicating not fresh. Spring rolls bland. Have cooked a better pad thai at home, serves us right for ordering from here. So many misleading reviews. 3 stars as it was edible.

Excellent takeaway. Generous portions with tender beef, authentic chicken satay (the best I've had in england) with clearly homemade sauces and dips. You can tell that love is put into every dish. HIGHLY recommend. This was on par with Jim Thompsons restaurant, thank you for taking me back to my childhood.

The lady owner and her husband manages this small resto dine in/take away place. We ordered quite few in their menu thinking that it is going to be a similar experience with other Thai places. Well we were surprised when they called us out for our orders as how big the serving was. An order is good for 3-4 people, 2 if you are HUNGRY. It is also affordable and good priced! We got 2 coconut rice, prawn pad thai, sizzling beef, pork red curry, 5 coconut juice and a bottle of water for £40! And the owners (Thai couple) are lovely. Don’t be fooled by their small place! This place is a go to for Thai food!

I'm not usually a massive fan of Thai food but we ordered take out from here because my partner loves Thai. Everything was excellent, especially the pad Thai. Will definitely be ordering again.

Amazing. We are regularly eating there as its the best Thai place that I have tried so far. Lovely food and service.

Best take away above all others, ever

In Arundel for the day and saw this restaurant, popped in for lunch and had a great meal. Service was great, food was fantastic and the premises was warm, clean and very well decorated. Shame I'm not in Arundel more often.

Delicious 😋 I've lived in Thailand and this food is the closest you'll get to it other than flying there

This is hands down the worst takeaway I’ve ever had. Not only did it take over an hour to be delivered after the driver left the restaurant, so it turned up freezing cold but: The prawn crackers were half stale and half soggy. The Thai fish cake could only be described as a piece of cardboard. The curry had more oil than a deep fat fryer The chicken skewers were pink and undercooked The prawn toast was flavourless The other items I could not even identify and was just a complete mess The food bags were soggy and greasy. Will NEVER order again

Really disappointing. Tried this place out as we live just round the corner, we went for a spicy pork and chicken cashew both with rice. The pork was the saltiest thing I have ever eaten, unpalatable and sickly. The chicken was coated in jelly and the meat extremely hard. I wanted to support a local small business but this was honestly one of the worst meals I've had in years. Sadly one to avoid.

Always fresh and very tasty. Never disappoints.

1st time ordering from here amd really impressed. Will order again

Best thai takeaway around , authentic !

Nice food and real Thai food i ever had in UK (especially som tum and deep fry pork!) guarantee by Thai!😃 thank you for provided me a lovely dinner ขอบคุณมากๆค่ะ แซ่บมาก

Brilliant food. As an international student, it’s difficult to find good Asian food in Southampton. However, Thai Thai Express is one of the few places that offers excellent Thai Food. I highly recommend this restaurant, the owner is also a really pleasant lady which just makes the eating experience even better (pre-COVID). This is hands down the best Thai restaurant in Southampton.

I'm a curry lover and had plenty of them in different places around the city, but this one is just incredibly delicious. First time tried this place (drove half city to get there) and it was definitely worth it! Will definitely try it again. Red thai curry full of flavours, hard to even describe how good it was! 😁 !

Really good authentic food. Highly recommended and have ordered many times! =)

Amazing food, best prices around.

Prawn chili oil and those veg spring rolls are on another level, worth every single penny

Sin duda, la peor comida que he probado en mi vida. Y mucho menos el peor tailandés. Desperdicio insípido. Después de haber comido en otras comidas para llevar y restaurantes tailandeses, nadie se ha acercado a este sentimiento de decepción. Normalmente encuentro algunos aspectos positivos para escribir en cualquier reseña, así que aquí hay uno. El servicio fue rápido y amigable. La comida es horrible. No pude comerlo y si viviera más cerca lo habría devuelto

¡He estado en Tailandia 3 veces y mi esposo 7 veces y esta es auténtica comida tailandesa! ! Conduje una hora para llevar y volveré este fin de semana.

Had delivery from Thai Thai Express on Saturday. Food was great, authentic and very enjoyable. Shall order from here again.

Not very good experience for take away. Ordered a special Thai beef noodle, the picture looks very nice on the website, also confirmed on the phone that noodle comes with home made meat balls as shown in the picture. But turned out no meat balls, and there is no flavour in the noodles at all...

Such amazing food, the starter selection is the best thai starter selection i’ve ever had and an amazing massman curry

Amazing!!! Ordered delivery from them once on a whim and it was so good. Now have ordered 5+ times. Best Thai in Southampton. Pad Thai is soooo good.

Tried this place as a one off and oh my goodness! I have found my go to. Beef holy basil - delicious, not too oily and tender beef. Green curry with chicken - spicy, amazing flavour and moorish. Fried sea bass - amazing flavour, crispy on the outside and fantastically cooked. I cannot recommend this place enough. Will be going back for more if the green curry!

Me and my partner love Thai food, and had never been here before. We had a busy day and fancied a take away, this restaurant was the only place on Deliveroo that delivered to our house so we thought we would give it a go, as most of the Chinese takeaways around Southampton are awful. We were blown away by the food, beautifully cooked, the meat was delicious (unlike some places 🤢) and portion sizes were great! Also such good value for money we were extremely happy and don’t think we will go any where else now! Thankyou Thai Thai express for a yummy bank holiday take away!

Beware, £2.50 of thai rice gives about 1/3 of a small tub. disappointing. Even after a phone call they didn't think any problem with this.

Pad thai is amazing! Best in all of Southampton

The take away meal we had was amazing, it was easily one of the best Thai meals we've ever had. 5 stars!

An authentic Thai restaurant run by Thai couples. Though the place is small but the food is excellent. Can’t imagine I was in Southampton. It’s just the same taste, the same food with the same sauce you have in Bangkok. This is the best Thai food I have here and the best price as well. A lot better than other fancy decorated Thai restaurants that your money goes to the fancy furniture & decoration while the food is rubbish. Thai Thai Express you should deserve more customers. Keep going!

Excellent food. Friendly fast service.

I visited this restaurant with my wife and daugther about a week ago. We were visiting Southampton from London and wanted some Thai food. Frankly, I'm a little jealous of Southampton residents for having this place so close by. Thai food that is this authentic, fresh and reasonably priced cannot be found anywhere in the Capital City. (At least not that I know of.) The restaurant itself appears very modest at first glance, and a family can be seen working in the kitchen from the dining room. Slowly you begin to realise that in the kitchen are masterful practitioners who have perfected their craft over a very long period of time. You can taste 10,000 hours in every bite. My wife is Thai and she was extremely impressed as well. She's the best Thai food cook in the world, of course, but the ThaiThai eXpress chefs come in second.

Really good enjoyed it a lot will go back

Was introduced to this place by a very good friend, I’ve thanked them several times since. This place has the most delicious Thai food which is both authentic and filling. The prices are very reasonable and the taste is what I will come back for time and time again. My family and I are very pleased to have this gem so local.

If there were six stars it would be more fitting. The Panang curry and coconut rice which is what I always get delivered by deliveroo or collect, is the best I have ever tasted in this country for sure. Infact it’s the best quality takeaway by far of all the cuisines. The family who run this place are lovely and the food is to die for. Nothing compares to it. Thank you and please stay in the UK cause my weekend evenings in have taken on a new meaning with this kind of food 😍

This is the most authentic Thai food in Southampton. The test of food is as good as Thai food you can get in Thailand. There are a vast variety of Thai food you can find in this restaurant with an acceptable price. The owner is very nice. I normally go to this restaurant when I miss Thailand.

Tasty and spicy with large portions. Excellent and genuine restaurant with just a few tables, and also takeout.

Really great food. Restaurant is simple but giving that street food experience. Absolutely top taste, wide choice and probably one of the better Thai around. And beyond. Must visit.

Waited for 2 hours, couldn't get through on the phone, had to contact just eat in the end to get our money back. Not impressed!

Best Thai place I’ve tried in Europe. I could go on about it but it’s that simply. So good, such good price, and owner very kind!

Amazing massaman curry..so much depth of flavour that lasts long after the meal is finished, very full, very happy, cant say anymore than go here or order you won't be disappointed 😋

As a family, we have visited on several occasions. This is a fabulous example of authentic Thai cooking at its best! Sauces made from scratch - you can see the spices being ground as you wait - seafood cooked to perfection, meat tender and packed with flavours. It’s a veritable feast for any Thai-loving taste buds. Go! Take a table there; you’ll feel like your back in Bangkok...it’s casual, so casual but great. More than great, it’s brilliant!!

Very nice food cooked in an open kitchen where you can see the whole proces from start to finish, reasonably priced they will deliver or there is a small facility where you can eat in

Excellent service and food out of this world

As other reviews have mentioned (which is why i tried it) the menu has a good range. Portions are decent and the taste is great. Our family of 4 loved every dish and enjoyed left overs the next day too. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food, from a tiny litte restaurant. A must go to. Will be back.

Delicious food - must try the sticky rice mango dessert!

So yummy and authentic. The portions are bigger than usual! Highly recommended...

Top notch grub. Simple, spicy, scrumptious. Friendly staff, cute little shop. Bring your own booze is a nice touch too

Good food with good price and good portion. I'll soon return again. First time I see a fully picture food menu, that's very useful! Picture speak a thousand words.

Had a great Panang Prawn Curry the other night, and the sticky rice was just right.

This is the third time we've been here and it was a five star experience. They have a wide range of dishes, many of which are more obscure ones that you won't find in Thai restaurants elsewhere in the city. The dishes have generous portions and are very reasonably priced too. Most importantly they're delicious so if you're a lover of Thai food then you should definitely check this place out.

I got take away, the Chicken Massaman was amazing, the beef salad was good (maybe a little too rubbery) but quite potent!!! The restaurant is very small and I probably wouldn't have a meal there!!!

Lovely food. Not too spicy as some other reviews mention, just perfect for my taste. Will definately order here again. 5*

Amazing flavours and big portions! Tofu was lovely and flavoursome, will definitely order from there again thanks!

First time visit with friends and so glad i went -- food was plentiful, excellent and piping hot and take away drivers in and out so clearly popular definitely worth a try

We are foodies and Thai is our favourite. We always get the green curry. Be warned...this green curry is the spiciest one we have ever tasted. It will blow your head off. We took it home and added coconut cream...still overly spicy but it is definitely the best you will find in terms of meat veges proper Thai herbs and flavour so it's worth buying it. If they added less chillies, it would be almost perfect for us...and mind you..we like hot food and are very used to spicy food. They are definitely traditional and are very nice. The lady always talks to us. The massaman is not bad either. Overall...we are very happy and we go back all the time now.

I live close by and had been wanting to try here for a while. Really gutted it wasn't fantastic like the other reviews. I ordered the dim sum, chicken and cashew nuts and from the special menu the deep fried pork belly. I was apprehensive that it wouldn't be enough but it was £22 so didn't want another dish to push it to £30, especially as my wife wasn't going to eat much. Only 4 dim sum which were tasty enough but didn't touch the sides and the pork belly was advertised to come with rice but it didn't. I had to put on a microwavable rice pouch from home to make it a satisfying meal. The lady front of house was nice and I loved seeing the chef work. I've no doubt this is a quality place but I think I perhaps ordered the wrong dishes and will have to splash the cash and order more next time.

Yet again another fantastic meal at Thai Thai Express!

Seriously, without a doubt, the best Thai food I've ever eaten. All the reviews are spot on. Eat here, you will not be disappointed. Going back tomorrow for more. I had Pad Thai and Massaman Curry with the mixed appetisers. Fresh, clean and absolutely FU**ING banging. If you're a foodie, you'll be in heaven.
