The House, Authentic Thai Cuisine in Cambridge

The restaurant added 10% service charge that was marked as "discretionary gratuity" in our final bill without informing us beforehand (which they admitted when I asked them after) and refused to take it off. I will be living here for years, and my friends and I eat out a lot, so I guess they just lost some repeat customers.

Great Value lunch menu, Pad Thai was excellent & they were happy to substitute Thai Basil for Red Chillies as my digestive tract is a bit sensitive. 😇 Freshly cooked, fresh ingredients & delicious.

The fried crispy beef was not fresh and was in heavy salty soup, my stomach feels bad after eating, and we spent over 30 pounds each person, felt disappointed !

My first time up in Cambridge, came across this place by chance and I’m so glad I did. The food was better than I anticipated, the atmosphere and service created a welcoming environment and the staff were very friendly and prompt.

Fab food, expensive beer. Pay cash for 10%

Great food, authentic Thai cooking.

Great food at reasonable price. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend!

I have gotten takeaway from here a few times. I am partial to the pad Thai although it is a tad too sweet. Apart from that I think it’s beautifully nutty, flavoring and comforting!

Food is good. Taste and texture is all there. Nothing to complain about. If you saw my review, bring cash to dine into this restaurant. There will be a 10% discount.

We ordered 4 dishes but they only gave us two. The service attitude is quite bad.

- Taste overall 8/10 Pad Krapow moo sub(ground pork Thai basil) 9/10 Mango sticky rice 7/10 - Authenticity pad Krapow 7/10 with some time extra ingredient like mushroom and the Thai fried egg is supposed to come with chili-fish sauce(พริกน้ำปลา หรือแมกกี้) Mango sitcky rice 7.5/10 the ice cream on the side is interesting - Service 9/10 Cleanness 10/10 - Portion with the price 5.5/10 Main dish 7.5/10 Dessert 4/10 extra mentioned chili fish sauce for .99£ - Vibe 7.5/10 Thai staff members with good restaurant vibe but not so Thai. The background music, as an example, is not Thai

This place was open. I walked in at 9 PM, and they refused service saying they only did takeout. It seemed nice enough, but I think the workers just had a bad and lazy attitude. Empty on a weekend night!? I guess that says something.

Went in for lunch. Had a excellent pad Thai and my partner had one of the best Panang we have ever tasted! Thai ice tea was delicious. Alcohol very expensive. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely return for more delicious food!!

An apt little spot to have a quick bite in, especially during lunch hours (from around 12 to 15), when prices are reduced on an ample, generously portioned selection of dishes (which end up being from around £9 to £15). The dishes themselves can be a bit hit or miss (to my taste, a lot of the curries are unusually thin and mild, and after having read the glowing reviews, I was disappointed to find I didn't agree that the pineapple rice is all that much more flavourful, either; their take on the pad thai is definitely among the nicer examples of the dish I've had, though, and the pad kee mao and panang are decent picks, too). The ambiance is a little more reminiscent of a bistro than a restaurant (with simple, cosy decor and dinky sets of tables and chairs) and the service fitting (almost always incredibly quick, efficient and relaxed, even during lunch rushes).

Service was bad: - We saw the staff cleaning the table next to us with the used tissues left over from the couple that had dined there. Just with those tissues. - After eating my starter, the waitress grabbed my fork from the plate and put it on the table for me to use for my main as well. (I may have done that anyway, but it was surprising that the waitress just decided that for me.) - Found a hair in my food. Complained about it gently and received a fresh dish. Beware - photos on the menu don't always match the food served. Taste of food was not spectacular.

Probably the best Thai restaurant in cambridge by far, far better than the one I reviewed before this one (It right below this one, way below! => Thaikhun) Everything we ordered was amazing, tastes like authentic Thai food. Highly recommended.

The food is not halal. My friend and I asked at the restaurant, and the receptionist said it was and even offered a student discount. Later, I returned to really double-check, and another lady confirmed it wasn't halal. Don’t fall for their lie!

If I am away from home I usually look up a local non-chain (no Giggling Squid!) Thai restaurant . I have never been disappointed- until now. We walked in & asked for a table for 2. This was 9pm on a Saturday, so not particularly late. As we were seated, we were told to order quickly as they wanted to close the kitchen then close the restaurant. They took our order, then said again that we had to be out by 10. The food arrived and we were told again that they wanted us out by 10. So much for a warm welcome and relaxing meal! When the food came it was average. The garlic and pepper chicken wasn’t unpleasant but was all chicken no veg. The beef in the Weeping Tiger grilled beef was mostly fat and gristle (the very hot dipping sauce was great to be fair). We left most of it and made sure we were out by 10.

Authentic Thai food located at Regent Street, Cambridge. Recommend for family and friends gathering. Pad Thai or golden parcels is perfect match.

Wonderful food and lively atmosphere...

I ordered one portion of seafood curry and one portion of jasmine rice. The rice was delicious, the portions are quite generous so much that we shared between two adults. But the curry was very bland, nothing really special, watery. The seafood is not fresh. And very chewy. Not worth the price I ended up paying £32. Ordered it, through deliveroo.

The spicy seafood noodle arrives with a hint of Barbie pink. The sweetsourness is quite refreshing for the rare summer day, though not spicy enough and a little too sweet toward the end. The seafood and tofu taste good. My friend’s fried pork rice looks nice but ends up a little too oily. The mango sticky rice is also good. Somehow this place has been out of radar. Friendly staff. Lunch menu is particularly of great value. I might come back and try the pad Thai and other dishes.

Excellent restaurant with super friendly staff. Such lovely dishes with an extensive menu catering for all dietary preferences. Well presented dishes and reasonably priced.

Staff are very impolite and rude. They do not care and rush the family with kids. Food was ok but the service was horrible. Not coming back ever again

So much food. We ordered way too much. It was all delicious

I ordered vegetal pad Thai. It was too salty. The waiters were rude to their customer. They asked customers to pay through cash or bank transfer. They add 10% tips without asking. They don’t help with charging low battery phone. Very disappointed and I regretted that I ate there. I would not recommend any body eat there.

This Thai restaurant definitely sold me because of the pictures they had of their Thai drinks and food up on display by the window which was ravishing. First time trying Thai iced tea. It was nice but rather too sweet. Not sure if it’s meant to be that sweet, but either way, it served as a good cold drink to have to cool my tongue down from the spiciness of the food. Ordered the prawn toast and pad kra pao moo sub, a minced pork dish served with jasmine rice and fried egg. Prawn roast was nice and crunchy. The rice dish was insanely spicy for me. Quite flavourful. I got the rice dish as it looked like they had a lunchtime deal where it was £11.95. But when it came to the bill, I had to pay full price which was odd. Good experience overall and the waiter was really welcoming and lovely. Managed to get 10% off my bill if I paid via bank transfer which was generous of them.

We took a chance on this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and it is a gem! We had the “Ayutthaya” set menu and it was excellent. A great contrast in flavours from the Thai red curry, aromatic duck in tamarind sauce, sweet & sour stirfry chicken through to the very fresh green vegetables. Although these sound quite conventional choices, they were extremely well cooked and fully deserved their places on the menu. The service was pleasant, efficient and unobtrusive. I really recommend this restaurant.

I cannot comment on atmosphere as I've only visited tye restaurant on Regent st to collect my customers deliveroo orders and I try most restaurants I've collected from and in my opinion after trying them all I can testify the sauce in the beef, chicken or vegetable green curry is tue best around locally and tops tue same sauce at The Giggling Sqid by far. It's so good I save half the sauce in the fridge overnight, but a sirloin steak and a bag of stir Fry veg from Aldi and cook them all up in House Authentic Thai's Green Curry sauce! Double Yum :)

Pad Thai was ok but small portion for the price and underspiced. Non alcoholic drinks very expensive.

Walked in for a quick lunch, the waitress was courteous and found me a table without any issue. Made my order some 5 mins later: starter of pork ribs in hoisin sauce and mains of “pad with Thai basil & prawns” To surprise, the starter and mains came together within 3-5 mins later, everything was drenched in reheated sauces. 0 cooking involved then again the food bill came to £16! Guess you get what you paid for!

Food was good. But it was a bit pricey . Would return but wouldn't rush back

Nice and helpful staff, though food was lacklustred

Very authentic and delicious!!!

A hidden gem in Cambridge for Thai cuisine! Chicken coconut soup is THE best

Our meal was fine. Not great but ok. I had drunken noodles. My husband had green curry. The green curry chicken was much better than the drunken noodles which were thin and kind of chalky. I’d try it again and order different things

Very good food is excellent, good friendly service, reasonable prices for Cambridge. Everything delicious.

Good authentic Thai cuisine. Closes a bit early and felt rushed out the door at the end but a solid experience overall.

There was no one there when we went there. We were just one table. The price was similar to that in London, and students were exempted from the service fee.

Very disappointing food quality but very nice service

The staff were super friendly and accommodated our last minute large group booking with warmth and efficiency. Great food and extremely generous portions. Thanks!

Very disappointing! The green curry was like liquid and the ‘authentic’ Thai condiments were non existent - save your money and go to the Giggling Squid instead!

Yesterday was my mum birthday, I decided to take her for a birthday meal at the Thai restaurant, she loved it so much and Iwas so satisfied with the service of the food and the waitress. surely I will definitely coming again. thank you that was the best Thai food i have ever had. nice birthday meal ever.

Food is very good, but the service is quite bad. In fact it is tragic

I deeply regret not checking TripAdvisor reviews beforehand, as it seems this isn't their first offense. I also regret not enduring the long queue at the neighboring restaurant, as it was packed, which led me to this less crowded Thai eatery. Patience, as it turns out, is a virtue. I was initially drawn to this restaurant by a poster advertising £15.95→£11.95 (Lunch Deal). However, when it came time to settle the bill, the waitress claimed she knew nothing about this discount. The restaurant manager then said, "Actually, we have two versions of the same dish, the cheaper one has a smaller portion. Next time, you need to specify that you want the cheaper one." But the poster did not indicate this, clearly promoting the same dish at a discount during lunch hours. Furthermore, when I entered the restaurant, I told the young waitress that I wanted the one on the poster, but she pretended not to understand, ignoring the poster I showed her on my phone, and instead said, "Please state the dish number!" This was a blatant act of dishonesty. Terrible advertising practices, luring customers in only to deceive them afterward. Neither the service nor the food itself justifies a 10% tip, especially since the food was overly spicy. There won't be a next time for me. Never.

Really nice Thai food, good service, pleasant place. We had Pad Thai Chicken and Pad Thai Tofu and both were really good.

Initially when we walked in we just had the staff laughing at us. Probably because we were caught in the rain. I'm glad seeing a pregnant woman in that state was funny to them. We ordered crispy calamari and it was soggy and barely cooked . Not crispy. I had jumbo prawns pad Thai ... I had 2 prawns and small amount of noodles and it tasted sour . It was not pad Thai that I have had in many other places and I'm unsure why that was £18 for that small dish that didn't taste of anything. Ended on dessert which was okay

Pad Thai with chicken is definitely worth checking out!

The food was at best mediocre left most of both dishes ,was horrible the starter was not nice at all ,did not enjoy at all .

Thai tea here is really disgusting, it is pre made, so not fresh. It has very weird taste not authentic at all. Even no lid provided ( they said running of out lid ) Not recommend!

I had an incredible dining experience at The House Thai Restaurant! The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was quite good also. The menu offered a delightful array of authentic Thai dishes bursting with flavor organised by numbers in the menu so you can have an easier selection of the dishes. The Pad Thai was a green curry, perfectly balanced and delicious, the menu had reflected the quantity of spicy that they add so is easier to choose if you prefer spicy food. The location, just a short ten-minute walk from the station, is convenient and makes it an ideal spot for a meal. I highly recommend The House Thai Restaurant for anyone craving exceptional Thai cuisine in Cambridge. I definitely go again if I visit the city again !! Thanks for the delicious food!!

Super restaurant le service est très attentif et les plats délicieux !

Food was very good, portion was a bit small

エビのパッタイ、唐辛子入りサラダ、春巻、カラマリ(イカフライ)を食べました。パッタイは決して不味くないのですが味がボケていて、調味料はついてこず、値段の割には量も少なめででした。サービスは良く、笑顔でテキパキと給仕してくれます。

I had the pad kra Pao moo sub it was sublime! The egg on top of the rice was soft and tasty. The mince was slightly chilly. I really enjoyed the meal!

CAUTION- I dined here on 29th June 2023- we ordered Pad Thai, stir fried beef on a skillet, rice, a few starters and Panang Curry. I started having diarrhea on the morning of 30th June and it still has not stopped till the present. I have been feeling nauseated for the past few days. For the sake of your health, be wary if you decide to eat here. We didn't order a lot while the table next to us ordered many dishes. The interesting thing is that the table next door had much more attention and better service.

Almost have missed this restaurant but glad to have found and tried it.

The staff was friendly, the place is clean. The food was good.

Hey have the wrong opening hours on their door and in Google maps as well.

This was a takeaway and it was the worst red Thai curry I've ever had. Completely watered down and sub standard ingredients. Really disappointed.

Cheap and (sort of) cheerful place. More fast (sort of) food. Bit of a shame - we were looking forward to somewhere that made more effort.

Excellent pad thaï et service charmant malgré l’horaire tardif. Nous vous le conseillons si vois aimez la cuisine Thaï

Good food , although price seems to be abit steep

Dishes were really overpowering and sweet. Feel it’s was overpriced for the quality.

What s lovely restaurant! - really tasty food, friendly staff Beautifully decorated and great atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable and the beef main course was super tasty Warmly recommended

Real thai food, freshly cooked. Draught singa. Not the cheapest place to eat but good quality.

Very delicious food and friendly owner and staff. We ordered pineapple fried rice, prawn pad thai, and minced pork omelette. All are really tasty! So much so that we forgot to take photos and now the plates are all empty.

Always the best restaurant in Cambridge and brilliant food one of the greatest thai restaurant awesome ladies

Disgustingly rude staff. Horrible food. Nasty. Shouldn't be in Cambridge. 0 stars.

Authentic pad Thai and crispy duck rolls.

Nice Thai food, especially starter to share. Portions are very generous. Service was quite quick and easy, even the place was very busy on Saturday night.

Hot and spicy, reasonably priced and also great taste!

The food is on another level, amazing food and portion sizes are perfect. Whilst the decor and style of the restaurant is more of a cafe, the service and the food were amazing. Starters of prawn toast and duck spring rolls demolished in minutes, very nice. The Penang curry was so full of flavour with a nice amount of spice, with nicely cooked great beans and peppers accompanied with a good portion of egg fried rice. My partner had the Phad Thai, which she described as the best she'd ever had, and she's had a few! Well worth a visit and reasonably priced.

Went as a group of 4 and the meal was incredible. Quick service, good ambience and top food. Basically, get the drunken duck.

泰國食品正宗，味道不錯，Pad Thai 及 Green curry 很好。

Sadly, this was not the best Thai I’ve had. It was overcooked and lacked the freshness and flavor Thai food is known for.

The dishes were so big and tasty, take care with the spicy

21 Spicy 'n' Sour Soup 冬荫功汤点的大份，但量很少 22 Chicken Coconut Soup椰奶鸡汤不是我的菜，妹妹挺喜欢的 32 Grilled Beef Salad (N) 凉拌烤牛肉是用韩式甜辣酱拌的，味道就还行吧 102 Pad Thai (N)泰国炒米粉这个炒米粉不正宗，没有小米辣，没有柠檬，没有花生碎，甜口的，有点腻 103 Drunken Noodles辣米粉牛肉的挺咸的，酱很多，刚端上来闻起来臭臭的，吃起来没有 106 Duck Noodle 烧鸭面条 这个还挺好吃的，烧鸭量很多，面条也挺Q弹

I visit Cambridge maybe once or twice a year and as soon as I know I am going, I start looking forward to going to The House. This small(ish) authentic restaurant does not pretend to be anything it isn't and that's why I love it. It is a family owned Thai restaurant with such friendly staff. The food is EXCELLENT - fresh, tasty and plentiful.

Had the tamarind duck - duck was tasty but the noodles were half way between crispy and boiled which was weird and hard to eat. My friend had the baked king prawns which were nice but it was far too small for a main and she was still hungry. Each main came to £17-18 so it wasn't the best value for money, but the flavours were nice.

I have been hunting for an authentic Thai restaurant in the Cambridge area for years.. I really truly recommend this place. Aroy Maak! Khrap kun Kap

Lovely food and place, will be back again 👌

The attitude of the waiter is very cold, impolite, it takes a long time to order. I ordered prawns at their house, and the amount of dishes was pitiful. There were only four prawns and cost me 18 pounds, and then one of the four prawns was rotten. When I called the waiter, the attitude was very bad and she just said “what do you want us to do!” The canteen need to solve this problem not just asking what do I want. I won’t recommend anyone go there for Thai food unless you want to try rotten food with cold service attitude.

Easy walk to this location. Food was ok but not impressed. The crying tiger steak was not very tasty. Also had pineapple fried rice and pad thai but was just ok. Was looking for more authentic flavor.

Delicious food, good quality and good price! Flavoursome food and all fresh!

Amazing food, eaten here many times and never fails.

delightful, start to finish, the main was spectacular and the starters were fantastic

Very nice service from young thai lady

A great find. The food in here is yum and the pricing is very reasonable. Good service. Easily located. Make sure u book in the weekend as it is very busy. We went in just at the right time as we did not book and they manage to accomodating us before the busy time.

Food just didn't have much flavour and the quality was very low. Do yourself a favour if you want Thai food, go to cricketers or wrestlers but definitely not here!

What states vegetarian on their menu.. actually isn't! All of their curries contain shrimp paste which they don't inform you of unless you ask specifically so definitely avoid if you don't eat fish or are vegan!!

It was ok authentic Thai food, flavoursome traditional dishes done well

I ate at 2 Thai places in town. This one was amazing, food was on point and came fast!!!

Very nice Thai food. Reasonably priced. Great for a lunch stop.

Very big portion and the good quality of food. Service to be improved.

Came to this restaurant spontaneously as we walked past and ended up having a very surprisingly memorable meal, lots of authentic Thai options cooked incredibly well and reasonably priced too. Service was good and food was fast! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting interesting Thai food beyond green curry or pad Thai.

Wonderful food but awful service Had dinner alone in the restaurant. There was only one waitress and she wasn’t helpful at all. I waited for 10 minutes for her to take my order and had to help myself for a glass of water because she never brought it to me. She was so impatient and rude and didn’t seem to care about her customers. In the end they charged me a 10% service fee for the service which I never had the honour to experience lol. Luckily the food was wonderful, best Thai curry I had in the UK. I would recommend others to order on deliveroo. ;)
