Thailand No. 1 in Derbyshire Dales

Excellent ! I've eaten at the one in Nottingham several lunch times, always good and the Matlock one more than lived up to expectations. All very good, can't fault it, definitely recommended.

Amongst all the fish and chip shops a little gem arises! Seems like if you want food in Matlock that’s not fish and chips, pie or Italian - then this is the way to go. Food was great, good prices. Service was even better - shoutout to the person with the black stud earrings and the girl wearing a hijab (sorry didn’t get either of their names), both provided outstanding service!!! Thank you for a lovely dinner

Don’t order takeaway. They use Uber Eats who think it’s okay to deliver to a completely different address 8 miles away from the delivery address on the order and then refuse a refund. The food might be great but we will never know. Hopefully this will make them reconsider who they use for delivery services.

Food was OK but wasn't happy with the pricing a set meal for 2 says £24.95 which looks good but you have read it as it's £24.95 person not so good

We ordered takeaway to our little holiday stay. Excited as the reviews were good and it came recommended. Such a shame the portion sizes were that of a mouse. The dishes lacked authenticity and the depth of flavour expected in Thai food. Expensive and we were left still feeling hungry as could only managed a mere tablespoon of each dish because there was so little of it. I had to reach for the fridge afterwards!

Don’t go unless you are a very fast eater and enjoy being rushed. They accepted our 8.30 reservation for 8 people, then approached our table constantly to remind us the kitchen closed at 10. Had we wanted dessert, we would have been refused. Average, unauthentic Thai food. Terrible attitude towards paying customers. Our bill was almost £300. Made to feel like an unwelcome inconvenience. Will never go back.

Very nice food, very polite and attentive staff and in a lovely restraunt.

We went for lunch one Friday and the guy who greeted was nice and informed us they shut at 230pm (it was just after 1pm). Within 30 seconds another older / taller guy came out and said we had to order starters now as they shut soon. We hadn’t even opened the menu - no joke. 30 seconds later he came back so we ordered the starters. He was very rude indeed. The starters were actually nice - chicken satay and battered prawns. We also had to order mains in seconds after we ordered the starters (all ordered in less than 2 mins of sitting down). They brought the mains out at different times and my friend had to wait 5 minutes whilst mine went cold which is ironic. The mains were really disappointing. Bland special rice, bland pad Thai, low quality beef and ok at best the rest. We wouldn’t recommend these for service or food. The younger guy at the front desk was very nice and polite but the older / taller guy was very rude.

We hadn’t booked on Saturday evening but they found us a table a little later on. The food was amazing and staff were very friendly

These can't cook Thai food. Their rice come in a plastic bag and is gelatenous instead of sticky. The rest of the food is no better but.... That makes sense. If you can't cook rice you list certainly cannot cook a full Thai meal.

Delicious food and lovely staff, would definitely recommend

Had the banquet and wasnt disapointed food was perfect and tasty Staff very polite and friendly looking forward to our next visit.

Given the postive reviews we decided to order a take away, however we wished we hadn't. We frequently eat Thai food in restaurants and take away cook Thai at home and this has to be the most basic poor quality food we have experienced. My guess is that the food may be better in the restaurant and the also operate second tear volume over quality channel for take away, although I we won't take the risk of dinning in.

Very good Thai restaurant. Good food well presented by cheerful staff in a pleasant environment. We ate on a first floor terrace overlooking the bar and downstairs tables which felt more private. Reasonable prices. We booked which was essential for Saturday night. Recommended.

This was great. Service was excellent, staff were pleasant and attentive, food was delicious. We'll definitely be back, but will expect to have to book as it's clearly well liked

A stylish and relaxed setting with great service and even better food. Already looking forward to going back.

Absolutely top notch place to eat. Great and varied menu, our dishes were delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive, the interior is amazing and a great atmosphere. Probably one of the best places we have had a Thai meal in. Highly recommended.

What a beautiful place. We had the set banquet menu for £27pp and it was amazing value! Soup, mixed starters, 3 curry dishes and rice and noodles. The food was amazing! Staff so helpful and friendly, we would definitely come back.

Great food and service We all enjoyed our meal and the service from the young man was great we will be back next time we visit Matlock

Excellent meal and great selection of food. Good service

Impressed with everything that is Thailand No.1 and proud that Thai food and the smiles of the employees are number 1. Thank you for delivering Thainess through the taste of the food.

Fantastic food! Really lovely friendly staff that looked after us well and gave us lovely recommendations. Very hot on checking on allergies and dietary requirements which was impressive and personalised. Would definitely go back.

Just had an absolutely delicious meal for two with my husband here. The green curry was excellent, the sweet and sour crispy pork was excellent, the prawn toast was incredible, basically everything was really good. We had the meal for two and swapped out one of the mains for a veggie option because I don't eat much meat. The people serving we're really attentive and although it was busy, service was quite quick (but not annoyingly quick). We had more than enoigh so took the rest home in tubs for tomorrow. Highly recommended for taste, service, availability of vegetarian/vegan options. If you're in the area, you should go there.

Beautiful food and great service, will definitely be returning 😍

Stopped by Thailand No.1 Matlock craving Thai food en route back to London after a day out in the Peak District. Food was absolutely amazing with authentic fresh flavours. Recommend the Tom Yum and Pad Thai's as well as the fried fish. The staff were really friendly and very welcoming. Super helpful on menu recommendations. The summer cocktail that is currently on offer is highly recommended. The pink gin with raspberry was super refreshing. Would definitely come back if passing thru.

We decided to indulge in the Banquet Set B Meal to kick off our Matlock Bath adventure, and it proved to be a delightful choice. The restaurant exuded a majestic atmosphere, with its ornate decorations, elegant cutlery, and enchanting music, setting the stage for a truly grand lunch experience. Every course surpassed our expectations, from the velvety cream soup to the tantalizing appetizers and the four delectable main dishes. The staff members were incredibly attentive and professional, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Without a doubt, we are eagerly anticipating our next visit to savor this exceptional dining experience once again.

Food: we ordered a very nicely-done variety (Set Menu A). We are quite familiar with Thai food, and this was an excellent effort. The chef made the beef "extra spicy" for me and it was exactly right. Best things: prawn toasts very nice, a perfect green curry. The bottle of 2017 Monsoon Valley shiraz was delicious and good value. Staff are friendly, attentive, and efficient. Thailand No.1 is a superb restaurant and is a highlight of our trip to Matlock. (We are Londoners.)

I like to visit this excellent authentic Thai restaurant when in Derbyshire. I live in Hertfordshire. The food is always excellent and so is the service. I normally take my 88 year old parents with me who love the food too but they were not well enough on this trip to go. After preparing many meals for their freezer I didn’t fancy cooking for myself so I decided to book a table and eat alone on Friday 3rd May. The staff made me extremely welcome, the food as always excellent. However it was the additional kindness of the owner and her partner who made the evening so enjoyable for me. Make sure you book as always busy and if you are on your own and want to eat out you will be well looked after.

Fantastic restaurant! The staff were very helpful and attentive and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious, really fresh and was ready in no time. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food and very flexible with our orders ! Very sweet staff making the experience comfortable and friendly

first visit, will definitely come back. great food, great atmosphere. great service! Fantastic date night with the missus. what more could you ask for. just be sure to prebook your table!

Superb food, tasted fantastic. Very quickly cooked. Service was ok, waitress either didn’t know the menu well or couldn’t speak English very well. Tables are very close together, the table/chair at the top of the stairs was a squeeze to get past. Would definitely return. Parking is just past (if on left) on the street free after 6pm. Enjoy - we did.

It's not the most authentic Thai food. Perhaps suited to the local palette, but for me the food lacked the intensity of flavour and heat I normally associate with Thai food. The staff were lovely!

My husband and I had such a lovely meal here. We had vegetarian skewers for starters with an amazing satay sauce. We then both had curries and coconut rice for main (one duck and one king prawn - generous amounts), they were presented in bowls with heated candle underneath which kept it nice and hot. The food was so delicious! The service was also great, everyone was very attentive and helpful.

Absolutely fantastic! If you're looking for somewhere to eat in Matlock, this is the place! It's got everything you could want with the best Thai food we've had since visiting Thailand! authentic flavours and style, stylish environment, good prices and friendly staff. They have a great varied menu, Curries, rice dishes, noodle dishes and authentic saladsl a big selection of vegan and vegetarian options with quite a lot of the menu being able to made gluten free too! I'd 100% recommend booking as well as it was full right until closing when we visited We will definitely be visiting here again! 10/10

Dined at the Matlock Thailand No.1 last night. Service was outstanding and the staff and chef were so professional. They catered for my vegan diet and allergy to plum without making me feel like a nuisance. The food was delicious. Definitely going back there and will also visit the Lincoln one as it's our home city.

Dived in here on a very wet Tuesday in April. Had a lovely welcome from Alastair and a young lady (sorry didn’t get her name) who took our coats. We had the banquet meal A for two and a glass of house white wine each plus Jasmine tea. The meal was delicious and very filling - we couldn’t quite eat it all. When we got the bill we were delighted to be told that during the week there was a 10% discount on set lunches.

Great location but lacking in atmosphere on a Sunday evening with only 4 tables occupied. We had 3 dishes. One good, one fairly good and one poor. How can you get a pad Thai wrong? Gloopy sticky noodles were poor. Service was good. But I wouldn’t return.

Nice atmosphere and interior which raised our expectations. Ordered the chefs platter starter for £20 which was for two people. Disappointed that it was just a small frozen selection I could have bought from the supermarket. Very expensive for what it was. To finish off they have the cheek to automatically add a 10% tip to the bill of such an overpriced meal.

We dined at this lovely restaurant today, we are visiting from London and after a long tiring day at Heights of Abraham we stumbled across this place while looking for somewhere close by for dinner, we were a group of 5 and I had my 4y and 6y with me. Firstly the food was delicious, my fussy children actually ate everything I gave them and for me that was a win in its self. It came out fresh and hot and there were nice touches like a candle to keep the curry warm etc. My 6y son loved the prawn starters we ordered another one! And my mum who is also hard to impress really enjoyed it and said the chicken tamarind dish melted in her mouth. The service was amazing, the staff were so friendly and it was a refreshing change as normally when I go to a restaurant with young children I always feel the staff want to rush us out and mostly do not engage with the children but here the staff were very nice and polite - they were not over the top friendly but the right amount and it made me feel so comfortable to be eating out in a nice place with the kids. The highlight for me was when we finished all the prawn red curry my daughter wanted more prawns so I asked if I could order more as a side dish which initially the waiter said was not possible (which I had no qualm with and completely understood) but my daughter was quite sad and I think he took pity and went to ask the chefs who were so so kind to bring her out a small portion with no extra charge!! I cannot say as a mother how much I appreciated this kindness. Both kids drew a thank you note which the staff also appreciated and made them feel good about, the kids really bonded with the front waiter and were calling him by first name basis. All in all it was a pleasant surprise to stumble in to this place. Thank you Alastair and all the staff for making our evening and being so accommodating. If we are ever back in town we will be sure to visit 😃😁

Passing through Matlock, I needed a quick meal for 1. I love Thai, so why not. Lovely place, lovely staff. The prawns starter was lovely, tasty and super hot, and a great amount (4). Had chicken Pad Thai for mains, lush amount also, and delicious tasting. Would return if I was ever here again.

We were staying nearby for a few days last weekend and had a takeaway from here on the Saturday night …… The best Thai I’ve ever had in the uk , absolutely delicious

Fantastic food. Would definitely recommend!

With my sister and brother in law thinking where to go for our evening meal we chose Thailand no 1 , we had a great meal 😋 will definitely go again, the service was good ,food was delicious 😋.

An excellent choice of food . Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

What a fabulous building, staff all lovely, tentative and food absolutely stunning.

Nice soup and mixed starters, mains off set menu b were all pretty underwhelming.

Speedy and delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The food is amazing and authentic Thai. Ordered via Uber eats directly to our cabin at a local holiday park. We got set menu 1 and it was a great mix. The starter box is lush

Service was really good, all the staff were very attentive. We opted for the set banquet for 4 however didn’t wasn’t one of the dishes and they were more than happy to swap out for us. Excellent Thai food and nice atmosphere to enjoy your meal in. Slightly on the pricey side but I don’t mind paying when the food is good!

Always an excellent night out. Great food & very attentive staff.

Amazing Thai food! Some of the best I've had, great little spot on Matlock

Really enjoyed the drunken noodles and the Thai holy basil.

We've had reasonable meals at this restaurant before, but our last visit was disappointing. The Green Curry was sickly sweet and had no real flavour. The mussels and squid tasted like they had been in the freezer way too long and were tough. The service was fine but I don't think we'll return because for the price you pay you'd hope to get something that exceeds anything you can get out of a bottle or jar, and the meal this evening fell very short of even that. I really could have cooked something much more tasty and fresh at home.

Thai Red duck curry was the best I've ever had amazing food reasonably price such lovely attentive staff ..

Visited with family for dinner on a quiet Sunday evening. Six of us in the party. Our first visit and we will definitely be returning. The staff are charming and very welcoming, the restaurant is immaculate and the food was delicious.

The starter was cheap chicken....possibly processed. The Thai green curry hardly had any vegetables in and felt rushed due to the seating timetable. We also had a waitress who could not speak a word of English. We were not given a bill and had to pay on the way out. The food was expensive for the quality that was supplied. I was gutted as it was for my partners birthday as we were away in Bakewell for the weekend. I had read the reviews before booking and thought it would be alot nicer than it was. We will not be revisiting.

Love this place, so friendly and never been let down. So easy seeing what is gluten free and they make adjustments for the kids.

we booked a slot well in advance for new year’s eve and received a message to say food was being prepared ! My husband and friend went to pick up meal ordered which was luxury seafood meal fir 4 with starters that came to 150 pounds with extra starters ! We sat down to eat and found half the food was missing …. by the time we had rang up to try and sort it out food was luke warm and the excitement of our special meal had flattened !!! Why offer this service if unable to carry out efficiently ! very disappointed and will not return !

Great food, wine, service and atmosphere! We'll be back.

Been coming here for years and it always delicious, highly recommend.

Ate here today with partner and friend. Beautiful venue spotlessly clean and food was served promptly and was delicious ! Highly recommend for gluten free dining too

A wonderful place to eat, a great night out and will visit again. Really good food, plenty of variety, the staff helpful and efficient, very pleasant. Thank you.

One of the worst meals I’ve ever eaten, 3 of the 4 dishes we ordered were inedible. The aromatic veg skewers were literally dry stale carrot, cauliflower, mushroom and abit of tofu - they weren’t even cooked and completely tasteless. The staff never asked how the the food was even when they took the plates away- likely because they knew themselves that the standard of food was embarrassing. To make matters worse there was an ‘optional’ 10% gratuity added to the bill - never ever again Avoid!

Delicious food and lovely staff.

Could write a long, detailed, and lyrical story of how good this place is. But you should just go,. The food is what you go for, the rest is just a bonus.

Delicious food. We had the set menu B and every dish was delicious. Staff were friendly, polite and professional. Highly recommend.

Food very nice atmosphere good however watch out for the unforeseen optional altermatic 10% service charge, that was added to the bill we only noticed when left after payment made should be made clearer

Tasty food, good service, comfy seats.

Three of us ordered padthai and all three left it as it was far too sweet. I had the hot and sour soup for a starter and it wasn't great. Overall all six of us weren't impressed and certainly won't be returning. Such a shame as we chose this restaurant because of its reviews.

The place looks authentic. Service is good. Unfortunately the food did not live up to the promise. There was little flavour in any of the dishes. In fact the most flavourful thing in the entire meal was the mint chocolate we were given with the bill!

We walked in without a booking at about 7:30pm on a Saturday, and they sat us no problem - the food (we had set menu A) was absolutely lovely. Staff were friendly and efficient - we’d definitely recommend this restaurant.

Lovely meal, reasonably priced, great staff and a lovely ambiance. Good night out.

What an amazing place this restaurant is, went as walk ins, which wasn't a problem as we like to eat quite early (6pm) , were shown to a lovely booth ,tables were available,staff were wonderful ,very attentive and smiley, the food was out of this world to say the least plus the decor was eye catching. Would highly recommend this place to anyone

This evening we had a birthday celebration at Thai No 1. The food was excellent and the staff friend,y and efficient and even though they were very busy they still gave us their full attention. A happy evening, we shall return.

For what you get it's very expensive. We have local Thai restaurants near us and the portions a bigger for less money. Probably wouldn't go back there.

The best Thai I've had for 4 years since I was in Thailand last! My only regret is that we aren't staying longer so I can sample everything off the menu!

We booked to go here specifically as the menu has lots of Gluten Free options as I am a Coeliac. We went in the night before to book and check that they could cater for my needs and was assured they could. However when we turned up the following night, ordered drinks and asked what they reccomended for starters for GF they said that it wont be 'completely' GF cos its cooked with other items that arent ! Very misleading and worrying for Coeliacs. Very disappointed, they need to take GF off their menu.

Fabulous food and service! Best meal in a long time! Chose banquet for two and every morsel was delicious! Would definitely recommend!

Excellent food and wonderful service

Fantastic food and first class service from staff. We didn’t book but just turned up on a busy Saturday night and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Really tasty food. My only criticism would be there was too much food per person when ordering the banquets. But if you’ve got a large appetite and want value for money, this is your place!

Stopped in for an evening meal and enjoyed a lovely time. Nice clean restaurant, serving some excellent food at a really good price. A great place, well worth a visit.

Fantastic fresh food and full of flavour we all enjoyed the food but the service was a little to much as they were on you before you could even put your fork down. Felt like you was being watched throughout the meal and all our group agreed that this is what they felt, I'm not being over the top I don't think ? But 💯 for their fantastic food. We have already booked to go back for more fantastic food. (I will let you know about the service 😂🤣

If you like good fresh ingredients & have not eaten in Thailand, then you will like this If you have eaten in Thailand you will be disappointed, I ordered the green curry, could not smell any of the traditional ingredients like lemongrass, Coriander, chilli or others. The sauce was thin lacked any chilli at all, and overall to me was very bland. My partner ordered the stir-fried duck which was also bland My partner ordered the duck stir-fry, & her dish was also bland Serve this in Thailand they would send it back

We ordered a takeaway banquet for 2 people on Wednesday evening priced at £52. The gentleman who took our order was rude, unhelpful and very impatient for us just to quickly order. He asked us to move away from the counter even though it was not busy and no one else was waiting. When asked about items on the menu he offered no assistance or description at all. The restaurant was recommended to us and we were only In Matlock for one evening so we bit our tongue in order to try the food. We wish we hadn’t bothered. There is nothing special about the food here. The only thing that stood out was the rudeness of the staff.

We popped in early evening to order a takeaway which was ready in just a short wait, the restaurant was already starting to fill up and it looks very nice.. Stand out was how they helped a customer who was in a wheelchair and his wife, finding an accessible table and letting him wash hands in the Ladies.. I was impressed as I waited for the food.. The Laarb salad was nice (although could have had a bit more chilli) you taste the flavour layers and the Tom Kha Gai Cooked in a spiced, fragrant coconut milk with lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal & fresh coriander was delicious as was the Green Curry. I really wanted to try the Gai Ho Bai Taei but it was not available that night.. a reason to return :)

Food so bland and tasteless. Massive disappointment considering how busy it was and the reviews. Had padthai and massaman, i dont recall having a worse thai

The food is not bad but not special either. I would say the food has an average taste. I was rather surprised by the relatively high price. One starter, two meals for two people and I paid £80.

Exquisite food, very good value for money... we've been twice! The first time we came we could have put 5 stars, 3 tonight as we waited for a very long time between dishes. They were probably short staffed - hopefully it's just a one-off. Very good experience overall though.

Me and a group of friends had completed a 25km run in the morning and were looking for a nice place to have dinner as we were very hungry. We saw the reviews online for Thai No 1 and were very impressed, so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. Peter (😍) and the rest of the staff were very friendly and accommodated everything we needed, including a round of Tequila with a shot chaser of pineapple juice (The Craig David). The food was amazing! The satay chicken is the best I’ve ever had and the marinated duck in chefs special sauce was fantastic too. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Matlock, or anyone who lives there and somehow hasn’t tried it yet.

We ate at Thailand No1 on the 29/06. From the moment we walked in the atmosphere was amazing. Lovely decor. The food was so tasteful. One of the best Thai restaurants I ever been in. Which is alot. Its a shame we don't live local, I've been there weekly.

อาหารอร่อยมากค่ะ บริการดีมากค่ะ ไว้มีโอกาสจะแวะไปอุตหนุนใหม่นะค่ะ

Food is superb and authentic. Only the furnishings are a little runned down.

Have eaten here many times- always great food and service. went as part of large group and they could not have been more accommodating really helpful and service was really fantastic. because we had the deluxe banquet we had pretty much a bit of everything. - it was all fantastic. The fried fish in particular was brilliant.

Fantastic restaurant l the food is fantastic, fresh, original and mouthwatering. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, reasonable price and big portions

Excellent food and great service. Thoroughly enjoyed the dinner 🍽️

Turned up on spec on a bank holiday Sunday looking for a table for 1. Which took a few minutes as they were waiting for a table to come free. They got me a drink whilst I waited, and when I got seated I was served in double quick time. Food was lovely, staff (only 2) worked like dervishes, looking after all diners whilst simultaneously coping with a never ending stream of delivery drivers and takeaway buyers. Excellent

Tasty, well presented food with quick service, not as busy as on previous visits but still a good atmosphere. Chose separate dishes instead of banquet for a change king prawn Pad Thai was really excellent.
