Lovely setting nice staff ordered my dinner which was noodles and beansprouts etc but when it arrived it was very sweet I asked the waitress if there was sugar added to the food and she said yes I couldn't believe it as it wasn't mentioned in the ingredients as a type 1 diabetic I was mortified as this had. a major impact on my blood sugar levels Martin came over and apologised and we didn't pay for the meal but I did ask them to make changes to the menu so people are aware of hidden ingredients just as they do with nut allergies etc I will be checking there menu to see if they made changes

We were hungry and decided on an early Thai dinner. The restaurant was as quiet to begin with, but the team made us welcome. We had Larb Gai to start, followed by duck red curry, chilli vegetables and plain rice. We started with beer (Singha draught) and a cocktail and then had a bottle of Chardonnay. The food quality and presentation was excellent, and the service was engaging and friendly. We’d highly recommend Thai One.

Excellent food. Not much else to say. It’s not posh, it’s not tacky, somewhere in the middle. But the food is really great so the rest I’m not that bothered with. If you like Thai look no further in Colchester

Really enjoyed our visit to Thai One while passing through Colchester. I eat a lot of Thai food and was really impressed with what we found here. Great vegetarian options too. Staff were really friendly, prompt and we really enjoyed the food and visit. They were also very kind to our kids and dog who were welcome! Would definitely visit again.

I ate in a restaurant last week. I chose Thai Sausage for starters and Chicken Red Curry for my main course, with Fragrant Jasmine rice on the side. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food selection! What surprised me the most was the spicy dipping sauce that came with the Thai sausage. It was very delicious so I asked the staff. One of the staff (Yard) said that he made the dipping sauce with the exact same flavor as his region, which adds to the restaurant's authenticity. I would recommend this restaurant. Even if you are unfamiliar with Thai cuisine, the staff explain the menu well which makes it very easy to choose from the menu.

Had a lovely meal with my brother and his partner here. The majority of the menu is gluten free and of great quality. So nice to go somewhere where all dietary requirements are catered for with plenty of choice. Lovely waiting staff as well who were knowledgeable about the menu, patient , personable, attentive - without being intrusive and able to answer all questions without having to ask someone else. Highly recommend.

Me and my girlfriend had plans during the weekend and we had to get a Thai. It’s simply my way to celebrate songkan (Thai New Year) Walking into Thai 1 I greeted the staff with a traditional ‘Sawadee khap’ and I expected the same treatment in return but I did not. I was very disappointed. However, we were directed to our table, we ordered or drinks and accompanied with a complimentary bowl of prawn crackers. A bowl with a mix of Thai and Chinese prawn crackers. Being in Thai restaurant and being a proud Thai myself I felt disrespected with the presentation of Chinese crackers, (Of course there’s nothing wrong with that) And I totally understand from a business perspective that most people are familiar with Chinese crackers than Thai. This is a Thai restaurant there should not be anything else but Thai. Simple. I would not expect to eat at a Chinese and being presented with something Thai. However, we waited quite a while to order our food but it was worth the wait. My wonderful Girlfriend ordered a Thai classic - Pad Thai and I ordered 2 Mains because It’s Thai new year. Red curry salmon and medium rare sirloin steak with a ‘Traditional’ Thai dip. The dip looked like what I had expected, just how my Mum makes it. But it was too sweet. It was meant to be a sauce that took me back to my Mums kitchen where we are sitting with our noses running while enjoying hot and spicy thai dip. The aesthetic of the restaurant was stunning, I kinda felt like I was home. The glass wall took me back to my home in Thailand. We paid the bill and thanked for having us. Also wishing the staff a very happy Thai new year. I will definitely will be returning.

This was my first time visiting this gem of a restaurant. The food was fabulous and had amazing flavours throughout the dishes, and coupled with fair prices throughout their menu, it was a real treat to dine here. The restaurant itself was beautifully presented with great ambience- and the servers were very friendly providing great service, for example the man who served us, (Yard) recommended items on the menu and politely helped us. Being our first time trying Thai food and cuisine, I am sure in saying that it won’t be the last time.

Amazing. The best Thai food we have ever eaten in ths country. We were staying nearby in the Rose and Crown hotel which does not offer dinner so we tried this restaurant as it is fairly nearby. So glad we did. The staff - especially Martin - were wonderful. Very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant has a nice relaxed atmosphere too. The food was excellent. Husband had the Weeping Tiger, which was perfectly cooked, plus sticky rice. I had a chicken penang curry - thick and creamy sauce, delicate flavours and just the right amount of kick - and coconut rice. Desserts were great too; I can't remember the name of mine but it was one I had not tried before and I loved it. The wine list included a Thai white which we tried because we have never seen it on a Thai menu before. It was fine. Prices were reasonable too We wish we lived nearer; we'd be in here all the time!

I stumbled upon this place whilst staying at Best Western Rose & Crown down the road as they have no restaurant, so just went out for a walk in search of dinner. My staple food is usually Indian or Chinese so at 58 years old I can honestly say that I had never been in a Thai restaurant before. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu and didn’t have a clue what to order, what came with each dish or what to have as a side order. So just took pot luck. Can’t remember the restaurant names for the stuff I ordered but it was spare ribs for starters, chicken with ginger and spring onions (deffo number 18 on the menu) and a side order of sticky rice (S10)! Wow…… just WOW!!!! This just has to go down as some of the tastiest food I’ve ever eaten!! Very chilled out atmos in the place with nice decor, proper cloth napkins, cozy but spacious. The staff were awesome too. Definitely a place that will be on my “must visit again” list if I ever get back to Colchester 👍🏼

We were out for a family meal, the waitresses were very welcoming, informative, polite and attentive. The food was very fresh and amazing, it could not have been any better. It was a very relaxed restaurant to eat in and nothing was too much trouble. If you like Thai food and have not yet tried this restaurant you will not be disappointed. We will most definitely go there again.

Why do people accept bookings when they know they are going to be extremely busy. Greed! Been here many times and it’s always been exceptional. I have given great reviews. This time the place was full and the consequence was we had to wait 30 mins for our order to be taken and another 30 mins for food. The food was awful and done in a rush. Fish cakes dripping in oil, duck covered in greasy batter and overcooked rice. Sadly that’s £80.00 wasted and we won’t be back.

It had been many years since we last ate here and although not terrible there were a few things that fell below what I had expected. Firstly my beer had a strong taste of chemicals and had to take it back and get it replaced. The portion sizes were small and a number of the battered deep fried starters tasted mushy inside like they were frozen previously. The staff were attentive and friendly but for me the food fell below my expectations this particular time.

For a Friday this restaurant was surprisingly quiet and upon further into the meal I can understand why. The prawn tempura was very greasy and needed a lighter batter and maybe a different type of prawn. The beef dish (no 27) was ok but needed fresher ingredients and the fried rice with chicken (no 56) lacked any real flavour. Service was slow and confusing as they had 2 servers at our table, I'd recommend keep a server to a section and overlap on busy days. The floral touch to the decor was nice but it needs a fresh coat and maybe have a smell of ginger and lemongrass wafting in the air and it might help give some ambience. Some light music is needed and maybe a rehaul of the menu, as didn't see anything past 2 chillies but I could be wrong. Spice is life, please don't steer away from it.

I popped in here by chance after checking in at the Greyfriars hotel on a Thursday night at 2030hrs in October. The restaurant was closed! Thankfully, this lovely little place was open and more than happy to serve me. I ordered Pak, Choi, sticky rice, red jungle curry and laab (duck), plus 2 beers for £50. The food was delicious. The music could’ve been a little bit louder to help break quite a quiet atmosphere, but the waitress was super friendly and polite and the food was incredible. I would definitely go again.

We spent two nights on a mini break in Colchester. We came across Thai 1 on the first night and were so impressed. From the young man who greeted us on arrival, the waitress who served us, to the absolutely amazing food, we were so impressed. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced and we had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. It was so good, it was such an obvious choice to go back on our second evening. We chose different meals and once again were not disappointed. The staff were so friendly and remembered us from the previous evening. It is obviously a family run business who really care about their business and making sure they look after their customers. We are now thinking about coming back to Colchester in the future and we will definitely come back to Thai 1.

We found this restaurant by searching Tripadvisor, having never been to Colchester before. We were not disappointed. It was quiet when we arrived (6.30pm) but soon filled with a majority of regulars but some other tourists too. We knew it must be good as it was only a Monday night. The welcome from the waiter and also the female owner were second to none. The atmosphere was great, and I do like a restaurant that still has good quality linen tablecloths and napkins. The food was excellent; the presentation of the food was excellent. Absolutely nothing to fault!

As an Asian who has been to Thailand many times, I have to say that the food is rather disappointing. You are paying the price of a 3 star hotel but the food potion is tiny. Even my 8 year old kid was not full spending £15 for their dish. They staff is polite but we need to repeat ourselves a few times to get the communication across. It may be suitable for locals who have no real Thai food experience but it will definitely be a no-no to me.

Brilliant service. Brilliant food. Vegan menu is the best I've seen in the region bar going into Central or Greater London. Other Thai restaurants nearby like Naka Thai and Na Ree Thai are good too but Thai One takes it up a notch, at least when it comes to offering an innovative vegan-targeted menu. I'm in the top 10% of restaurant reviewers on Google, and all I can say is much respect to the owner and her family; they've made me a very happy vegan reviewer this evening.
