Thaikhun Oxford in Oxford

Been a few times, always enjoyed the experience

We visited Thai Kaun after seeing their set menu advertised at £19.99 per person. The menu said you could choose one item from each of four sections, so we ordered two of these set meals expecting to pay £39.98 in total. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see we were charged £38.98 per person — a total of £77.96. According to the staff, the £19.99 was meant to cover two people, not one, which is extremely misleading. The menu clearly says "per person," so most people would naturally assume that’s the cost for one individual, not something to be split. Even the waiter admitted that many customers have complained about the same issue, and that staff had raised it with management multiple times with no response or correction. At this point, it feels like an intentional pricing trap. To make matters worse, after the service charge was added, the final bill came to nearly £90 — far from the £38.99 we initially expected. If you’re in Oxford, avoid Thai Kaun. Just down the road there are plenty of great street food stalls and shops on Market Street with honest pricing and better value.

Atmosphere was cool. Had the Thai green curry and egg fried rice. Very nice would go back.

Really cool restaurant with exciting decor. Food was delicious and good portion sizes. It took a little while for our drinks to arrive, but food was served promptly.

Quirky and funky place. Decent food with plenty of options for vegans too!! Worth a visit to one of these. It is a chain, but quite small. Like 9 in the UK

Came here for lunch with some friends and had a great time. Nang was our server—so sweet and super attentive.

The food was amazing, and the vibe was chill. Nang made sure everything was perfect.

The food’s always good, and thank you Nang to take care of us.

Love this place! Nang really made the experience stand out.

I tried the Basil Thai Fried Rice this time, it was so great! Nang’s warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable.

This restaurant never disappoints! Nang is always so friendly and welcoming.

We stopped by on a whim and ended up having the best dinner of our trip. Nang was super friendly and helpful with the menu. Definitely coming back!

I ordered the Papaya Salad, and it was fresh, perfectly balanced with spice and sourness. Nang really made the experience memorable.

Nang made our dining experience so pleasant with her friendly and attentive service. I ordered the Chicken Street Noodle, and it was amazing, Nang really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal.

The place is okay, but nice. My rating for the food and drink was poor: 4/10. The fried rice with shrimp was excellent: 8/10. The calamari was excellent, but too salty: 9/10. Not a good choice for Thai food.

Everything is so good, will come again.

We have had several meals and every one has been delicious huge portions I just can't fault anything and would visit more often if I could

Fantastic food and service! Nang was so helpful in recommending dishes and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely return!

I'm so glad I stopped by this place! Nang was friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home

We had a wonderful dinner here last night. Nang was super welcoming and gave great recommendations. I went with the Beef Pad Thai, and it didn’t disappoint.

I attended an excellent Thai Cooking Class 👩‍🍳 🥘 🇹🇭 today @ Thaikhun in Oxford. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the class was very good value too. I got to make Tom Yum Soup and Vegetarian Pad Thai 🍜 ☺️. I was very happy with my dishes! 5***** experience, I would highly recommend it & you get to keep the apron too.☺️

Every things was good, and Nang’s attentive service made it even better!

Wonderful experience! Nang made sure we had everything we needed. Will be back!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! Nang was so friendly and attentive, making sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. I ordered the Chicken Thai Green Curry, and it was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Highly recommend this! Nang provided outstanding service with a warm smile. I tried the Seafood Udon Noodle, it was flavorful. Thanks to Nang for making our dinner extra special!

Loved everything we ordered. Nang took great care of us—super helpful and kind😊💗

Fantastic meal🤩. Nang provided top-notch service and great recommendations!

"The food offers a fairly authentic taste with a Western-inspired twist. The appetizers are especially delicious—highly recommended. The service is excellent; one of the staff members, Nang, was particularly friendly and attentive throughout our meal. Definitely worth a visit if you’re ever in Oxford."

uhhhhhh, food was smashing, but... i got sick, i puked, i pooed like there was no end, and i wasted a weekend feeling like i was about to end it all 🤷‍♂️

This is my favourite restaurant. The prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is great, the staff and kind and helpful, the food is even delivered on these awesome shaped plates. I think last time I went there the food was on a plate that looked like a massive leaf.

Probably my favourite Thai restaurant in Oxford. The food is reasonably priced and is well portioned, it comes out quickly, and most importantly - it's delicious! Never had a bad experience here

Love the Thai decor and ambience. It gives the feeling and vibe on walking in a Thai street food market. Our waitress was super friendly and gave good recommendations on what dishes are quite authentic tasting. We followed her recommendations and weren’t disappointed. The basil stir fried rice with pork belly topped with a fried egg was my favorite.

This is a delicious authentic Thai restaurant! We came back here 3 times during our stay in Oxford! We will miss it!

Fantastic food,great service,lovely setting,made to feel really welcome,10/10

Very good food although the portions are on the lighter side unfortunately. Staff is kind but service can seem a bit slow even when the restaurant is not fully booked. Large selection of vegetarian and vegan options considering the menu. Overall, I would recommend for a casual lunch considering the prices. Student discount is also available.

Did the cooking experience on Easter Sunday. Fantastic event. Well worth doing. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

First visit yummy lunch. Can't wait to return next time in your city

Terng era muy amable y nos atendió bien. ¡La hospitalidad fue increíble! La comida estaba bien cocinada y era muy deliciosa. El lugar también emite un ambiente genial.

Went here for lunch today, great food, prompt and pleasant service. Definitely recommend for Thai cuisine in Oxford.

Almost every dish here is delicious—I’m never disappointed. The prices are reasonable and match the quality of the ingredients. One of the staff members named Nang is very polite. She’s a hardworking Thai woman who puts effort into recommending dishes to customers. I really like the drinks here, especially the Virgin Colada—it makes me feel so refreshed. I’ll definitely come back to this restaurant again.

This was booked by my friend who's birthday it was in April 2025.When we arrived had to sit at the bar,table wasn't ready booked for 17-00pm.Sat under the stairs waiter spilled the drinks on the stairs and it went on our table.We changed to another table,had to order our food twice as the waiter said the system had gone down.As we didn't order a starter we were told we had to wait untill those who ordered starter had finished.We made our order and said we wanted our bill on a seperate bill (twice we asked)Food was cold and bland,not enough staff.when we asked for the bill it came on one bill.We left at 20-00pm.I would not recommend to my family or any one else.

Really accommodating even though it was full and we hadn't booked, but so glad they fitted us in! Absolutely delicious food - I had the crispy duck pad krapow from the special menu followed by a delicious Thai tea with spiced rum - vibrant atmosphere, really pleasant staff... will definitely return next time we're in Oxford :)

Food was ok, nothing more nothing less. Mains are reasonably priced for what they are, the starters and drinks however are ridiculously over priced… £4.70 for a coke!? Decor of the restaurant is on point and a vibe, staff really friendly but not the best service. Not disappointed as such, but nothing compelling me to go back.

Un servicio terrible que fue una pena, ya que cuando llegó la comida era bueno... Ok, como muchos este lugar está tratando de ser tanto un restaurante para sentarse en los comensales y una comida para llevar para el Uber come y otros servicios de entrega. ¿Adivina quién pierde? Los comensales sentados. No estábamos solos en nuestros intentos de ser servidos dentro de un plazo razonable. Habíamos reservado para las 745 pm. Estábamos a tiempo y nos sentamos rápidamente. Las bebidas tardaron 30 minutos en llegar y pedimos entonces. Más de una hora para empezar y más para la red. Todo el tiempo pudimos ver la cocina a toda piel creando comidas embolsadas para los repartidores. Sepa en qué se está metiendo si reserva aquí, especialmente para el Teatro Nuevo en la calle. Te irás con hambre o te perderás tu show. Encontré al gerente y le pregunté si era un restaurante o una comida para llevar antes de pagar la cuenta. Se encogió de hombros y continuó con su bebida. Oxford tiene algo mejor que esto...

Too slow, and food lukewarm. Rice was dried on the outside where it had been sitting too long. Toilets not clean. Staff walking around avoiding eye contact. Why give us warm plates and then make us wait nearly 30 minutes for the food to arrive. They did remove the optional service charge and say they didn't have enough staff on

Delicious Thai food and service with a smile.

Delicious food! Reasonable prices and good service. Easy to find an available table to have a good meal. When in Oxford, worth the visit.

Overall very good. Only comment would be to put more chicken in the chicken curry. Chicken is cheap so please don't hold back on it. Overall well run establishment

We came to ThaiKhun because of its decoration, we instantly thought we were in Thailand. From graffiti-covered walls to traditional decorations, the atmosphere felt authentic and immersive. For our meal, we ordered sweet and sour chicken with sticky rice, served in a traditional Thai basket. The rice was incredibly sticky, and once mixed with the sweet and sour sauce, every bite was packed with creamy, tangy goodness. The chicken had a slight crunch, and the glaze added the perfect finishing touch. We also tried the Pad Thai, which was flavorful and well-balanced, with perfectly cooked noodles that tasted truly authentic. To drink, I had a Lucky Saint—my first time trying an English beer. It was light, crisp, and refreshing, giving the full taste of a real beer despite being low in alcohol content. For dessert, we had fried banana with vanilla ice cream. The combination was so smooth and well-blended that at times, it felt like eating banana-flavored ice cream. Overall, ThaiKhun delivered a fantastic experience. The service was good, though you’ll need a bit of patience. If I ever find myself in Oxford again, I’d definitely return. Highly recommended!

Very good food at typical price point. Can get super busy and packed in the weekend and service becomes super slow. Reservation is a must. Food is tasty but the portion size is small.

Food was really very good taste.

Had a great time at Thaikhun! The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were super welcoming. A great spot for Thai cuisine!

Food is yummy and delicious, but little over priced. Portion is not worth the money charged, be surprised with 10% Optional Service Charge sneakily added to your bill. Its optional so they will have to remove it if you insist.

The interior is nicely resembled Thai street food stall style! The service was fast and attentive. All our dishes were ok but nothing impressive, from flavour to presentation.

Great atmosphere and great food. Had the Pinto Sharing Feast. Really tasty and a good mix of flavours Can definitely recommend

Great food, although a little pricey, particularly the drinks - I had the Chilli and Thai basil pork belly stir fry, which tasted amazing - only criticism would be that the service was quite slow.

Really nice food. On the pricey side but maybe that's just my cheapskate POV. If you want really spicy go for the dishes with 4/4 chilli peppers. Nice AND spicy!!

Fantastic restaurant, delicious food, great service many thanks

We enjoyed a lovely meal here on the weekend. We didn’t reserve a table, and we were happy to order a drink at the bar and wait for 15 minutes. The staff were friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and it was hot. The food quality is good and the pricing is fair. We would visit again!

Amazing food and interior decorations. We had crispy prawn coconut for starters, Pork belly stir fry chilli and basil with egg fried rice. Pork was very crispy and complemented well with egg fried rice. Quantity was decent and good quality food. Drinks -Pineapple and ginger Cocktail was also good and not too sweet. Staff were warm and pleasant.

In my case, I ate street noodles. It's similar to Pad Thai, but has a spicy taste and is so delicious. If you want to find a taste of the East in British life, maybe you should come here. The food the other group ordered was curry with egg noodles, and the soup itself tasted like tom yum kung + curry added. If you like tom yum goong, it’s a taste you can’t dislike. The meat in the middle is eaten as a side, and it tastes like pork ribs. It's really delicious, so I highly recommend it... In fact, just eating this is enough to complete a meal. Lastly, I had a traditional dessert, which included mango + rice + coconut milk. While I was looking at it, I wondered what this was, and while I was eating it, I wondered what this was, but I found myself continuing to eat it. I don't want to recommend it to anyone, but it's a good experience to try at least once.

The food is amazing, authentic Thai street food. It’s also a great place to go with your friends, they are very good at managing bigger tables so the food arrives quite fast. One of the best places to eat in Oxford

I had been here last week. The service was amazing. Friendly and great. Food was amazing. Came again this week. Told to wait at the bar which is fine. Everyone else was seated before then they realised I hadn't been seated. So sat downstairs in the cold, only one down there and needed to keep my jacket on. Was about to leave when someone asked my order. Food came out very quickly (wouldn't normally happen). Worst part was the receipt literally has all the card details on it bar the 3 numbers on the back. BY LAW no one can do that at a restaurant. This is based on FACTA information. Be careful with your receipts.

Amazing food and service at thaikhun Oxford.Our waitress Kwan was polite, friendly and tentative a real credit to the team.

I ordered the tofu red thai curry. It was nice, quite tasty but could've had a bit more tofu and veg in the portion. Egg fried rice was very nice, as were the spring rolls and Banana Colada. We weren't asked about what spice level we'd like so it wasn't really spicy enough for me. Unfortunately I probably won't be going back due to the way I witnessed my friend being treated by the server, which I felt and she described as sadly one of the many microaggressions she has to frequently deal with as a Black British woman. I have contacted the restaurant about this separately as it made the overall experience quite disappointing.

We visited Oxford for the weekend and fancied a Thai place that was quite unique and boy did we find a hidden gem. The portion sizes were super generous, the service was fast and the staff super nice and friendly... Unto the food, big bold flavours full of punch and bite while not over bearing the pallet. We had the shared platters and honestly the best meal I have had dining out in a while. Would definitely go again next time I visit but highly recommend! Thanks to a great evening team and making my birthday visit special!

I had the crispy chicken cashew with egg fried rice. Very flavour meals, this is my 3rd time visiting

I just ordered a green curry from here to get delivered and paid £20 for the curry and rice. The curry arrived barely room temperature and only a Quarter of the curry was in the tub!! The rice pot was only half way full! Overpriced and they do not help you in any way! This is outrageous and a scam!

AVOID at all costs paid £20 for a takeaway curry with rice and they only serve you a fraction of the portion! I counted 3 pieces of chicken!!

Love the atmosphere, service is amazing, the food delicious and the staff truly friendly

Thaikhun mice sighting in 2025 Jan 7th: 1. Last week, We noticed two mice running about in the restaurant, beneath the tables, eating bits of food left on the floor. We reported this to our server, and they left to tell a manager. The server returned and told us the manager had never of this issue before, but would apparently look into it. Since then, I noticed multiple other reviews of the restaurant have mentioned not only seeing mice inside, but also of having brought this issue to the attention of managers previously, who appear to be doing nothing effective about the problem 5 months later. 2. We arrived at 8pm and the restaurant opening time till 10pm, shows in Google Map. However, there is a male manager pushed us to order and kept saying ‘ it’s too late, you cannot order anymore if you take long time to order’. He was very impatient and rude. 3. They added serves fee without telling us, we only found it after leaving. We barely ate the food because of mice problem and they knew this, cannot believe they still doing this while knowing we were unsatisfied with mice and also didn’t eat the food. 4. Food is not good too, the soup is boring and tasted like water with a bit spices only.

Went for a meal there and I saw rats running around the restaurant…. 🤮very poor hygiene, have reported them to the Food safety authority in Oxford city council!

The portions here are very small, and they charge £5 for rice, which other places include with the curry. The food quality isn’t great either. They also added an optional service fee, which I didn’t realize at first. Overall, a disappointing experience, and I won’t be coming back.

The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. The padthai dish is my favorite! I’m really impressed with the dish and service here.

Had a great meal here a few days ago. I loved that pineapple rice which I ordered, tasted really nice. The basil fried rice was excellent as well though it was very, very spicy. I really liked the colourful and cool interior of this restaurant. The chilli squid was pretty good as well.

Have eaten here once before and found it very good. Booked a table for Thursday and when we turned up was told they had no pork or beef. Travelling 40 minutes to come eat here to be told they done have any of the basic stock was very underwhelming. I took my customs elsewhere and doubt I’ll be back again because of the risk of not having ingredients.

Food was good nothing amazing, however I got my rice in a plastic bag in a bowl which I thought was pretty awful tbh, like it had been cooked in that bag and the chef couldn't be bothered to take it out the packet, was also very mushy. The service was dreadful, had to call waiters over everytime to order food or drinks after patiently waiting for 10-15mins to get someone to take our drinks order making eye contact with waiters we had to call them. Atmosphere was nice as the decoration was lovely but was all overpriced as well. Will not be going back.

Feel like home, authentic. Would order the sets again. Would like non-spicy salad options.

Food was delicious!!. Interior decor beautiful!! Only down side was when we found it difficult to understand our waitress’s explanation.

Went here with a party of 3 and got the Sharing Feast. It was perfect since we all wanted a different dish, and also was able to share a bit with one another.

Staff unfriendly, unhelpfull, food not quality

Nothing to say. Because no any one friendly

Order the Bangkok Street platter and papaya salad. Very delicious.

Have been to Thai Kun many times and have always savoured the delicious and authentic Thai food they serve. The service can be a bit slow during busy times but the food never fail to impress. I would highly recommend this restaurant for families.

Disappointing! I've been to Thaikun before and the food and service is always variable, but this time we had to wait ages and ask to order and the quality of the food when it came was really poor. Won't be returning

Great place for dinner, lovely food and friendly staff. Decor you could look at for hours!

The restaurant is well decorated and has a great atmosphere. The food tastes okay, not amazing, but the portions are huge. Three dishes + a cup of Thai milk tea each, two girls can’t finish it😂

This was the first Thaikun I've been to but my colleagues recommended it for a work meal. I was worried I wouldn't like anything on the menu or struggle with spice, but I was totally wrong. The menu was great, I went with the crispy chicken and cashew and egg fried rice, it was insanely good, honestly some of the best tasting food I have EVER had. Staff were so lovely and accommodating and the place is decorated in a really cool way.

The taste is good but service is really so bad

I think this place is overpriced based on its value. The chilli squid we ordered was barely warm when it’s served. The green curry was watery not thick at all. Overall, quite disappointed.

Had to ask for our drinks order to be taken. Had to ask to order our food. The chicken in the curry was dry and had an after taste. The curry tasted of vinegar. The rice was crunchy. The cocktail was mainly ice. Underwhelming.

Delicious thai fried rice! Staff can be a little attentive but overall great food experience.

Step into a world of bold flavors and warm hospitality at Thaikhun! this gem offers authentic Thai dishes bursting with aromatic spices and warm colors. We went for the stir fry chicken as main and the iconic mango sticky rice as dessert. Perfect for foodies and spice lovers alike. Totally recommended 🤙

Pineapple fried rice and pad thai were okay, legendary ksj and basil fry were delicious.

We walked in and waited in the restaurant whilst waiting for a table. Staff was very prompt. Kindly showed us options for halal food (including ones risk of contamination). I’ve attached the menu with ones circled as halal. We had green curry chicken, papaya salad and thai basil fried rice. Great service and food was good.

Walked in of the street didn't book, told us about a 20 min wait but was seated at a table within 10 min. Staff super friendly and helpful. Food was amazing would highly recommend.

Pad Thai was really tasty Unfortunately, chili powder was hardly spicy Prices are rather high but yes

Salimos a cenar con amigos, y la experiencia fue excepcional! Pomme, nuestro servidor, era increíblemente entusiasta y bien informado en el menú. Su recomendación del Pato Grapow fue absolutamente deliciosa. La comida llegó rápidamente, y la calidad era fantástica. Definitivamente volveré pronto!

We were here for dinner and it was soooo so delicious. The stuff is also very kind and friendly. We will have dinner here again :)

Really authentic atmosphere and food. We were six and ordered the pinto sharing feast and everything we had was super tasty. Note that the portions are huge! So feel free to order less than you think. The biggest con was, that it was very busy so the service kept overlooking our table.
