Thaikhun Oxford 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.

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

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...

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

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.

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!

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

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!!

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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😂

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

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.

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.

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.

The taste is good but service is really so bad

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.

Exceptional food - dropped in on the off chance and we went not disappointed… great atmosphere, service and food

Expensive for being mediocre food, service was good but half the items were missing from both food and drinks menu.

Fantastic Food, Fabulous Staff & Great Decor Loved this place !!

Freindly service but the food nothing like we had in Thailand. The Massaman was watery, not spicy, and the beef- warning!- inchewable, couldn't guess it's beef and not necessary of wood. Drfat beer was OK.

We decided to come here for my 30th before going to the theatre and was left disappointed! We ordered drinks and food, and by the time our starters arrived we didn’t receive our drinks, they were only served when we received our mains. We ordered two more drinks and they never came. So I cancelled them. As I had ordered two for 12£ on cocktails, I ended up paying 11£ for 1 drink instead of the 2 for 12. We asked for coffees and waited another 20min… I found the service very disappointing which was a shame for the amazing food the chefs cooked!

The food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere with unique and interesting decor. Our meals arrived quickly and were reasonably priced, with prices ranging between £10-£20 per dish.

Recommended by others, but disappointed. Food is okay, but extremely overpriced.

The food was OK, but not deserved the price

¡Nang fue fantástico! Muy atento y ella nos dio una buena recomendación. Mat Recomiendo Fideos de pollo y tofu padthai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias

Highly rcm this place!!!!!!! Food was so good that I felt like it was the best dishes I have ever had since I arrived to the UK. Portion is big, we (2 girls) were full with Papaya Salad, Tomyum soup and Pineapple Fried rice, and Red Thai milktea, total £46 for the meal. Student discount applicable (but we forgot to apply 😭) With papaya salad, we requested less spicy and they understood the assignment well!!! Toilets were clean and smelled nicely. I went to many restaurants that eating places were nice but toilets were horrible. I will definitely come back. Happy to know that they have branches in other cities lol Btw, I think u should make a reservation. I went on weekday but there was only a table of 2 left!! Just enough for us 😂

Almuerzo sin fondo reservado para amigos se reúnen. El servicio era pobre 4 bebidas en total no había suficiente personal en no controlado tuvo que seguir pidiendo bebidas. No volverá. La comida era buena, aunque tuve que esperar casi una hora para la comida principal.

A very original and very well decorated Thai, it seems like you are in Thailand. They have many options of dishes, with different degrees of spiciness and for vegetarians. Very friendly and attentive service.

Yes I agree with Alicia Nicola’s review. Nobody should get treated that way and Chiangmai Kitchen would be a better option than Thaikhun. Ridiculous. Take note

Recently dined here for dinner Booked a table for Sunday, felt rushed as we got there and were told they close around 8 so we need to order starters and main together... It was all very hurried, nobody checked if our food was okay. Didn't enjoy my meal (pad thai) I wouldn't visit again.

We got very poor treatment and left very upset and disrespected yesterday. I don't feel like going back because of the demeaning tone the waiter spoke to us. What happened was- it was a Saturday, we made a phone call to Thaikhun to book a table for 3 and the girl on the phone took down my details. But when we got there, they had trouble locating our details. A Thai guy took over and asked for our confirmation number, but we never received one. He then asked us to show our proof on our phone that we made that call in the afternoon, and then said it would be impossible for them to have booked the table because they didn't take bookings anymore on the Saturday within a certain time frame. Our phone call fell a few minutes before that time frame anyway. He proceeded to click on his computer and said Thaikhun's number is different- but we definitely clicked call on the number on google. I got a little frustrated at how he was talking to me with suspicion when I clearly had spoken to someone on the phone that afternoon. He didn't offer an apology or humility and kept on going on all the reasons why I seemingly didn't make that booking. I finally asked- well, do you have a table for me or not? He responded with a very proud no. I'm so embarrassed and feel so small after this incident. Why should I feel this way as a customer? I'm never going back. I have never experienced this kind of customer service in Oxford ever- this was the worst ever Saturday night I took my mum and sister out on. Poorest ever service. Poorest ever representation of the restaurant and culture.

Amazing Atmosphere! Friends birthday and wrote this in the booking box online. Staff came singing Happy Birthday with a slice of cake at end of meal! Made her feel very special! Defo recommend pad thai !

Really delicious Thai food. Will definitely be back here in the near future! Edit: we returned and received just as good food the second time around! The massaman curry is delicious. You can get a 15% student discount, but it should be made clear on the menu that this does not apply to the pinto bowls.

This place is not too bad. The food is reasonable and I particularly like their tamarind chicken and fried banana fritters. The drinks were superb and very creative. The award winning feature is the service with very helpful staff.

It was my 2nd visit, and the food was as delicious as ever. It was quite busy, so we waited 20 minutes to place our order, but once we did, the food arrived quickly. The staff was friendly as well

Very nice thai food here, everything was excellent

We booked in for a family celebration and the staff could have not been more accommodating in making this a most memorable evening! Great, warm welcome, delicious food, the beer tower was genius! And they even helped us plan a surprise birthday song and cake. Could not fault the evening!

Ordering the four dishes for £19 is an absolute bargain - I’d recommend the cashew chicken because it tastes amazing. The portions are generous and the atmosphere in the restaurant is really nice. I’d recommend getting a cocktail too.

I am sorry to give 3 stars, i have 2 experiences, ordering food from thaikun by deliveroo. I ordered 8 items but it only come 7 boxes. Last time i ordered the same thing happened. :(.

Great decorations. Great food. Staffs are friendly.

Even though we had made a reservation, it took a long time before a table was available. We didn't understand the menu and the waiter explained it with great impatience. While eating we saw a mouse walking twice. You immediately have less need for food. Reported to the owner. They have removed the service fee from the bill as a solution for the mouse 🤣

The food tastes good. Impressive service, especially the help of employees in every sector. Thank you very much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Always love it here. The food is excellent. Comes out really quickly and is always hot. Good service too. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.
