Thaikhun Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

Dasha was very attentive will come back against

I love coming here!! From been greeted by the entrance and the amazing service Dasha provides [ she's is super nice and warm] and the amazing delicious food, it is one of my favourite places to come for lunch! you always feel welcome and appreciated ⭐️🌞🙏

We were served by Emily who went above and beyond!

Excellent food & service again. Sasha answered all our questions and took care of us very well. Will definitely be back.

It’s the best place to eat honestly! It’s my second time coming here and the staff is very friendly. Dasha took my order and she made sure that everything was perfect. It‘s also a very suitable place for people with special needs. Thank you for this experience, will definitely come here more often!

Excellent menu, price and atmosphere

Such a fun spot for Thai food in Union Square! Thaikhun Aberdeen brings bold street-food vibes with vibrant decor and a buzzing atmosphere. We had the Pad Thai, served on a banana leaf-shaped plate — super eye-catching presentation. The noodles were perfectly cooked with a sweet-savory balance, and the side of crushed peanuts added a great crunch. Could’ve used a little more tang or spice, but still really satisfying. The Thaikhun Platter was packed with variety: juicy chicken satay, crispy spring rolls, prawn tempura, fish cakes — perfect for sharing. The peanut sauce stole the show. Friendly service, fast kitchen, and a great vibe. Not fine dining, but it doesn’t try to be — just good, fun Thai food that hits the spot.

Great place, tasty food, quick service

We are returning guests as this place is great. Great food, Great staff and great service.

One of the Best Thai Restaurants in Town. Excellent service. I would definitely recommend.

Amazing service from our server Dasha and amazing food

We are regular visitors for lunch at Thaikhun Aberdeen and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and absolutely delicious, never had a bad meal. The service is fantastic, staff are friendly and always greet us with a smile. Highly recommend a visit!

Great food always, great staff.

First meal at Aberdeen and choose to have my birthday dinner at here again. Taste good! Year of 2023.

Pad thai that tasted predominantly of ginger? Yeah, okay. Also, please invest in some ventilation. The entire restaurant is filled with fumes from the kitchen. I was there for a short time yet still reek like a Vietnamese kitchen porter. My clothes are ruined.

Trae un vegetariano es genial encontrar un restaurante con tanta opción para mí. Estuve un par de veces y se lo recomendé a mis amigos y volver de nuevo la próxima semana. Yum yum

Thaikhun didn’t disappoint. Massaman is a favourite. Great service with Dasha

Had an excellent meal with my wife. Shoyeb our server was amazing. Panang curry is amazing as was the Pad Thai. Proper Thai style cooking of good quality.

Wonderful food and wonderful service. Emily catered for us exceptionally well and was extremely welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Estaba aquí para comer y no decepcionó. La comida estaba recién cocinada y el helado de coco estaba muy bien. Volveré en algún momento.

This place has pretty nice food. The staff are very kind and understanding as well. Normally, when going to these kinds of places, the 'super spicy' food is pretty underwhelming. But I think the amount of spices that is added to their dishes are just enough to be as delicious as they can be whilst still being tolerable for a large amount of people.

food was delicous!! staff was friendly and amazing! big portion, pork belly fried rice was to the roof. will come again!!

This is my first time being there, and to be honest I wasn’t very impressed. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. But one particular server didn’t seem to understand that we were supposed to receive 15% off because of student discount. This server continued to use passive aggressive language towards us and seemed very fed up.

After being a few times before, the experience I had today was not what it has been in previous visits, the food was as good as usual and the atmosphere is always fantastic, but everything was let down by a single server out of the couple we had, she was impolite and spoke towards me and my friend with a very passive aggressive tone when questioned about the bill, even after enquiring and trying to understand the mistake she still continued to speak rudely and not put through the correct amount of discount due for students.

Excellent selection of freshly prepared Thai street food. Friendly attentive staff. Competitively priced.

We had to have quick dinner before a gig, this place really accommodating with speedy service. Lovely yum food and we have both been to Thailand and appreciated the quality here 😀

Wonderful and bright décor, fresh and tasty food.

Very attentive service and great food in a nice setting within the restaurant. We would return without any doubts, we really enjoyed the meal.

Ordered KSG and sticky mango rice. The food was amazing. After a long time had Singha beer too. Thanks for the amazing takeaway of pad Thai with extra chilli!

My partner and I eat it twice here during our short visit to Aberdeen and have been very surprised by this place which we find by chance. Great place, full of life and colour, with amazing members of staff. We tried the Pad Thai with beef or vegan chicken. As a drink I had the amazing Banana Colada, if you like sweet cocktails. Such a great experience.

We had an amazing dinner as always, service and food was fantastic and we would definitely come back. Anastajia and Dasha were both lovely and looked after us very well.

Love the indoor decor and food was delicious.

I recently visited a Thai restaurant and enjoyed both the food and the ambience. However, the steward who served us was disappointing. He did not say "thank you" or "welcome" and seemed resistant toward us. We noticed that he was friendly and smiling with other guests, which made us feel uncomfortable. When we requested to have ice removed from our glass, his behavior changed, and he started treating us poorly. Such selective hospitality is unacceptable. The management should provide proper training to their staff to ensure equal and courteous service for all guests, regardless of their requests or background.

I booked a table for myself and my partner on Tuesday 21st the visit was incredible. We were greeted promptly by our server, I believe his name was Oliver, and he served us fabulously throughout the evening. The food was fresh, hot and had amazing flavour. One of the best places to eat when in Union Square.

Always happy to eat in this place, very nice service every time, tasty food, excellent cocktails, had a discount card as a regular customer with 40% off 🤩👌🏼🔝

Staff were polite and professional. Garlic & pepper stir fry, egg fried rice, and a pint of Singa beer for £25. The food was lovely, and beer was cold. Perfect venue for a quick mid week meal. Went again tonight. Had calamari and the duck special. Both are really good.

Love the food here, highly recommended. Good service.

Honestly the best place you could ever go to and the staff members are so friendly and nice and take well care of their customers. YOUR AMAZING THAIKUN!

Thaikun is not a very nice place to go. It feels so unclean and looks dirty. The tables are always sticky. The music is far too loud, you can't even hear yourself speak. The staff take forever to server you. I had ordered the Tom Yum, it was so bland, just felt so watery with not much ingredients. Really disappointed overall. I won't be visiting again. The toilets are so messy and look worn down.

Our first visit tonight and certainly not our last! The Pad Thai was the best thing I've eaten in a restaurant for a while!! Staff were friendly and personal and service was quick. Top marks!!

The food was amazing as per. We also had the sweetest waitress called charley I think and she made our experience so much better!! Defo recommend ThaiKhun>>

Love this place, I eat here regularly when passing through Aberdeen for work, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is great and also the staff are genuinely very nice.

Everytime we come here the food is great and the wait times aren’t long. The cocktails are delicious too. On this occasion I had the Sam Lor Smash, which wasn’t too sweet unlike other places. I really enjoyed it. I had the Chicken Street Noodles and my partner had Tofu Pad Thai, then we shared the veggie spring rolls. All of which were great. Our portions were very big and fairly priced, I then took my left overs home in a box.

Fueron visitados Thaikhun restaurante con la familia. Los miembros del personal eran amables y serviciales. Servicio rápido. Comida sabrosa.

Best service, food tastes amazing

Service was very cheerful, but food took a looong time to come. Food was OK, albeit meat was quite chewy. Prices are somewhat questionable. You can pay half elsewhere in town for the same bowl of soup, for example. Overall it's an acceptable option, but standards have declined over the years.

Tomó mucho tiempo para que nuestro pedido fuera tomado, pero pedimos entrantes principales y bebidas. Nuestros entrantes llegaron antes de nuestras bebidas junto con la comida de mi hija. Luego, a mitad de camino, salió la comida de mi esposa. Casi habíamos terminado así que pensé que estaba bien. Sin embargo, mi comida no estaba siguiendo. En ese momento salieron nuestras bebidas -mi esposa había pedido una coca y le sirvieron Coca- destacamos esto y la camarera dijo “cómo se nota la diferencia” Pedimos que se cambiara y nos dijeron que “llevaría algún tiempo ya que el bar estaba ocupado.” Cuando finalmente salió la bebida de mi esposa, la mezcla de postes se había agotado, así que fui directamente al bar y el tipo la arregló bastante rápido. En este punto, la camarera me preguntó si no había recibido mi comida (claramente no lo había hecho) y pude verlos tener una conversación acalorada con el chef. Ella volvió a nosotros y dijo “la comida de su esposa salió demasiado pronto por lo que se perdió su comida”. Como mi esposa había estado esperando su comida ahora estaba fría - dijeron que lo calentarían para ella (quizás hacerlo fresco hubiera sido una buena oferta) Mientras esperábamos por nuestra comida vino un cóctel al azar a nuestra mesa que enviamos lejos como no habíamos pedido. Cuando llegó la comida pedí un segundo trago y un poco de agua de la mesa. A mitad de nuestra comida tuve que ir a pedir agua otra vez (mi comida era bastante picante! ) Mi segunda bebida llegó después de que terminamos de comer, así que envié esto a Le pedí la factura y me dijeron que las cajas estaban bajas y que teníamos que esperar para pagar. Luego pidió la cuenta ~ la bebida incorrecta y el sombrero de cóctel al azar había aparecido estaban en la cuenta! Después de todo su caótico servicio no hubo disculpas, ni ofrecimiento de una bebida gratis. Es casi como si esto fuera normal para ellos. No estaría tan mal si fuera barato, pero nuestra factura era de más de £ 70 al final. Servicio absolutamente impactante

The mango sticky rice is DIVINE!

Excelente servicio y gran elección sin gluten 👍 han estado antes con amigos de la familia sin duda volveremos

Ordered takeaway. They sent me BURNT chicken spring roll, not just slightly but super black! Unacceptable, will never order again.

Food was good but portions were small

Had a lovely meal,excellent service,friendly,ordered too much,but enjoyed what we ate!

Fantastic food, great ambiance plus wonderful staffs. It’s our family’s favourite go to whenever in Aberdeen

Great service and excellent meal at Thaikhun in Aberdeen. Food was prepared very quickly and was really good. also an excellent service from the waiters.

5 star to the service, do the usuals quickly attended for a table, order were promptly taken. They my regular place for dinner when visit Aberdeen for business. Ordered Tom Yum chicken with rice and Thai Ice Milk Tea. Taste of Tom Yum was completely off compared to a year ago. Feedback was given when asked, was noted missing ingredient, £5 was taken off the bill. The Tom Yum was edible, but doesn’t taste like Tom Yum. Staffs were very polite.

Great authentic style food that is freshly prepared. The service is first class and the range of drinks is excellent.

Great value, delicious food, lovely staff, 😍

First visit and will be back. Nice friendly atmosphere, staff were very welcoming and offered great advice. Food was of good quality, delicous and hot. Great selection of beverages. Friends & Family discount available which helps with cost.

Hated the fact they had a lot of statues positioned virtually everywhere in the restaurant, very creepy.

How was lovely! I been to ThaiKhun every time I visited my family in Aberdeen! Never disappointed! Staff always helping with smiling 🥰. Food out standing every time. If anyone looking for authentic food 🇹🇭. I recommend ThaiKhun 🙏🏼

Although the customer service was no problem, I had to say it was the worst food experience for eating out in Aberdeen. My husband and I finally have a date but this really spoiled the night. I ordered Tom Yum soup noodle which I've been craving for, but it didn't taste authentic at all, instead it was so sweet that I didn't even finish. I also don't know what chemical flavour enhancer they have added, I've been feeling the reaction overnight. The worst was what my husband ordered, hainanese chicken. We couldn't believe it came 3 piece of cucumbers and a little bit scrap of chicken with lots of hairy skin. We just couldn't believe this standard of food was in a restaurant in union square.

Me and my partners first time eating here and the food was absolutely delicious. There is plenty of vegetarian options available and the staff were incredibly friendly giving recommendations on what food paired well together.

excellent food and service from a place we visit regularly

Love this place. Tom Yam soup is my favourite.

We ordered the sharing meal and it was fanatic. Didn’t look too much at first, but it filled 3 grown men nicely. Staff were friendly and attentive and it was very good value for money. Will definitely go again next time I’m in Aberdeen.

Nice theme inside restaurant the staff are very friendly. We ordered a sharing platter the Food was good but when it came to the mains we were disappointed. The hainese chicken rice was tasteless the rice was a little hard not enough water when cooking it the portion of chicken was a speck to my eye very little. This is not how hainese chicken is served nor the taste. The legendary ksg was horrible the chicken was tasteless. The Pad Thai was the same the meat didn't taste good. I wouldn't say this was authentic.

We had a shared platter delicious 👍 we had finished and waited an hour ?? No one checked our table not to busy! Eventually we paid for what we had very disappointed as we use it frequently and never experienced such poor service?

First but by no means last visit! Food was absolutely delicious; Pork belly starter & beef street noodles for myself and coconut prawns starter & prawn singapore noodles for the Mrs. Staff were lovely & smiley. Highly recommended. Only one food pic, as it didn’t last long and we were too busy stuffing our faces! 😂

visited the restaurant, pre movie, for the first time and it definitely won’t be the last. fantastic food and service. staff will look after you well. try the pork belly starter it is out of this world good

Absolutely love the food and cocktails here, the staff are lovely and Oliver looked after us well. We will definitely be back!

Should be ashamed to call itself a thai place. Not one Thai chef in sight and the flavour of the food reflected that. Not an Authentic food experience. Won't return, wasted money, just spent 60quid and looking for another Thai place 30mins after 😖

Delicious food and extremely fast service. Very friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere. The vegan chicken Thai red curry is delicious. Coconut rice was fragrant and lovely. Vegetable gyozas were crispy and flavourful. Mango sticky rice was delightful. I’ve also had the sweetcorn fritters and the massaman curry in the past, which were incredible. They also offer vegan prawn crackers.

Had dinner here this evening. Absolutely fantastic food. Friendly and helpful staff. £105.00 for a sharing platter for 3, main courses for 3, 4 drinks, a dessert and a coffee. Thoroughly recommend.

First time dining at Thaikhun Aberdeen and I’ll definitely be back. Arrived on a busy Saturday night with no booking, but we were warmly greeted and a table was quickly cleared and set for us. Server was cheerful and friendly and in under 20mins we were tucking in to a well priced, hot and delicious meal. Great atmosphere in a quirky premises. Highly recommend

Great place for something to eat. We had a sharing platter (thaikhun) with jasmine rice and shared 2 desserts (Banana Fritters & Mango Sticky Rice). Food was tasty and service was quick and friendly.

A chain of Asian restaurants with an emphasis on Thai-ish food, the decor is impressive but the food is on the weak end of things. I very much enjoyed my Thai basil and crispy aubergine stir fry, despite the heat definitely being on the chain brand "spicy if you don't know what spice is" side. Needs some rice with it. My friend was quite disappointed in their street noodles though, it wasn't tasteless per say, just very light on them. Staff were endlessly patient and helped out a ton.

This place is brilliant food was delicious & came really quick puddings too, staff all friendly place is quirky great atmosphere would definitely recommend

Delicious food and good service. It was very crowded on Friday evening. Nevertheless, the food and drinks came very quickly. We liked it because there were a few unusual things on the menu.

This place is awesome, It was our first time here and first time trying Thai food and we would definitely go back. Really nice light airy space to sit. Staff were upbeat, friendly and helpful. Food was delicious fresh and had lots of flavour. We had Crispy chicken or boiled chicken, rice, cucumber and a dipping sauce, my husband got extra spice which was a little dish of chopped chillies. We also shared the 5 spice fries. Clean toilets.

The attending staff are really friendly!

The staff it's incredibly friendly, so professional food Absolutely delicious and always with fresh and high quality ingredients, the gentleman that served me went above and Beyond made sure everything it's perfect, will definitely be back

Heard a lot of good comments about this place, my experience was definitely on the lower side of average. Had chicken satay, Thai fishcakes and a Khao soi curry. The fishcakes were so rubbery, tasteless and only brought to life by a little sweet chilli sauce, chicken satay was so overcooked it was dry, there was an inadequate amount of peanut sauce and when I asked for a little more sauce a £2 charge was added. The Khao soi curry was the best part of the meal, spoilt only by the chicken again being a long way overcooked. On the service, it was polite, efficient but at no time were we if the meal was ok or not.

I love Thaikhun and I’m used to their restaurants. This one is as good as the other ones. The service was quick and friendly. Food was great. Had the prawn pad thai which is my favorite. The decor is beautiful. Never disappointed by their restaurants!

Fantastic Thai food experience in the most unexpected place! Situated on the upper level of Aberdeen’s Union Square, amongst chain restaurants galore, Thaikhun is a special one. Rustic setup inside, this place is popular. You can often walk in, but if more than two of you, I’d say book. Staff very welcoming with large open kitchen to the right. Menu has small plate options (order three or four) and also larger options. So much choice. An abundance. Ordered three small plates to share as a starter - beautiful fishcakes, with hot and tasty prawn & chicken toasts. Satay completing the trifecta. Better combination than any set platter. Prawn toast worthy of the version they used to serve at the late Thai Modern, of Milton Keynes fame. Katsu was my main. Surprisingly not pad kra pao this time; but we all need variety on occasion. Lovely and fresh sauce. You like to see it. No dessert today, but the beer was Singha. As it was and as it should be - Singha for the people. Definitely coming back here again. Won’t leave it five years next time. Highly recommended. Two paws up.

Delicious food and amazing service!

Authentic thai street food , absolute rubbish any thai person would avoid this overpriced sham of a restaurant, dont go here , awful food badly prepared and hugely expensive, avoid at all costs

Had the grilled pork collar strips. Very tasty if you like pork, which I do. Service is very friendly. Sticky rice is super sticky, almost like the same rice texture you use for mango sticky rice desserts I'm used to. It was interesting. Different than what I'm use to but very good still. Recommended.

delicious food, fast service, friendly nice waitress staff, best food in aberdeen

Amazing decor, food wasn't super warm but amazing in taste and clearly cooked. Definitely recommend for anyone that is a fan of Thai food.

Been a few times but can’t not have the papaya salad ! Quick service, attentive servers, and authentic Thai food ! Pad Thai is comparable to that in Thailand ! Reasonable cost, good service and great food make for a good lunch date !!

Dropped in for lunch without first making a reservation. Drinks order was taken, followed shortly after by the food order. I chose the Tom Yum soup which I thought would be a starter size portion, but it was a main course size portion. Very tasty. Main course was sweet and sour crispy chicken and that too was very tasty. Overall, a great lunch experience which I hope to repeat soon.

It’s a really nice place with a good cultural vibe. The food was lovely and the portion sizes were deceptively decent. The service was spot on as well!

Brilliant restaurant. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Quickly got a table for 5 with no booking despite them being packed out. Served quickly and really well looked after. We had vegan curries and noodles which were absolutely amazing. Also had seafood noodles and chicken which my son's said were fantastic. Brilliant restaurant, we love going!

Really enjoy coming to Thaikhun - the food is good and the service is quick and friendly. They do deals for the local cinema too, so handy to have.

Really lovely friendly staff when we visited at lunchtime today (Sunday 18th Feb) and the food was excellent and arrived quickly. I had Tofu Phad Thai and husband had Tofu Singapore Noodles. They were both really good. Prices were reasonable too. Will come back again soon. Favourite place to eat in Union Square.

The staff were super accommodating, and friendly. The drinks were so delicious and refreshing and the food was amazing, really filling, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Would 100% recommend this place and their other branches assuming their staffs are as amazing as this ones. Caitlin was our server and she was so sweet.

Had lunch with friends on Friday. Lovely meal and friendly staff. The occasion was spoiled by the fact that the restaurant was very cold.

The whole experience was fantastic from being taken to our table almost the minute we walked in to being given the menu. Our food arrived piping hot and well presented. I would definitely recommend to other friends

Reliable Thai if a little formulaic. Very good service
