The Local Thai Restaurant & Take Away in Torbay

Had a really nice meal with family & friends. Good value for money also.

Tasty food and good service! I enjoyed the chicken pad Thai.

The best Thai in the region! We took takeaway, all the dishes were hot and very, very good. In sufficient quantity. The waitress very nice. We will happily return

Nous avons pris à emporter et tout était délicieux ! Portions correctes et servi très chaud . À recommander les yeux fermés . Nous y retournerons

Lovely Thai food at reasonable prices. Service was a little chaotic.

we ordered 1. 2. 18. 19. 55. Cost £52.60 the mixed platter (1) is amazing it’s fair value for money and vary tasty green curry (19)and rice (55) was good 10/10 the sea food salad yum talay (18)was lush 9.5/10 wish it had prawns over then that amazing thank you for not adding tomatoes and lowering the spice slightly do recommend will be coming back for more of dumplings and food vary happy

We hadn’t booked but they had some free tables and we were warmly welcomed and shown to one. We ordered the set vegetarian menu for two. The mixed platter was very nice. The main course was a green curry, a mixed vegetables with cashew nuts, and a pad thai. Very generous portions and all delicious. We unfortunately couldn’t quite finish it all. We will definitely come here again when we’re next in Paignton.

We ate here having travelled to the area for work. The food was excellent and it was great value for money. We shared a mixed starter for 2 and then had the sticky duck and a king prawn dish. All our choices were very good and the portion sizes were ample without being overwhelming. Would definitely return if we were back in the area.

Don’t let the surroundings fool you, this is a great little Thai restaurant serving delicious, authentic dishes, with good portions, value for money and lovely, friendly Thai staff and cooks. Highly recommended 😊👍

Loved our family meat here. Food was really delicious and service was good to. We own gurkhas Diner Nepalese restaurant and on our day off we enjoy coming here for a change

Amazing food and service with the best cocktail in Paignton!!

I'm a bit disappointed with the amount of food n tasted plain, unfortunately

We had been there before and they recognised us and made us feel right at home. Got to practice a little of our Thai. I had the sizzling beef absolutely fantastic. Izzy had the Massaman Chicken Curry. No room for dessert.

Excellent food quality and preparation. With a well-balanced menu, living up to the diversity and versatility of the Thai cuisine. I highly recommend the 'Local Thai set menu for two', which covers highlights of this restaurant.

Highly recommend this place. The food is absolutely delicious. We shared the starter platter to try a mix of items and each one was so tasty. Especially the dumplings!! My seafood main was flavoursome, and spicy. You couldn't have asked for better service. A real treat. Definitely coming back again as I want to try the soup.

Fantastic Thai restaurant, staff so friendly and even had a separate gluten free menu for my needs. Food was amazing quality and tasty.

Lovely meal, very friendly service.

Lovely little restaurant with a pleasant ambience and awesome food. Service was great 👍. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed an evening meal here recently. Excellent food and atmosphere.

Best Thai I’ve eaten outside of Thailand especially the Tom Yum

Best Thai food I’ve had in eons! Everything was very fresh and beautifully seasoned. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Travelling solo I don’t tend to eat in restaurants often but occasionally I make an exception. I ate here a few years ago and really enjoyed it so thought I’d see if it was still as good. It was. After being seated and given food and drink menus I was left for a few minutes in peace. I ordered a green chicken curry with sticky rice and a Diet Coke. All arrived promptly and with a smile. The meal was lovely, just the right amount of “heat” and a good sized portion. Eaten quickly, paid and left with no fuss. For me that’s ideal, highly recommended

Lovely food, really enjoyed it.

Really nice place which looked modern and clean. Food was really nice and the staff were really friendly. Price wise the food was slightly on the high side but what makes it expensive is the price of drinks which is usually the case when there are no draught beers available.

I walked in last night, had a very warm welcome and noticed everything is clean and tidy . The food was equally as good as the welcome, great barbeque ribs followed by stir fried ginger and chicken. It feels like the people running the restaurant care about the customer and the food they are serving. Look forward to going back

It was 3rd time visiting here I decided too start off with duck spring rolls starter followed by stir fried chicken with ginger and egg fried rice it was all fantastic will definitely be returning next time I'm in Paignton

10/10 bruh Amazing Thai restaurant I love this place and i waited a year just to eat this amazing food Atmosphere is great makes me want to learn more about Thailand and Siam The service was top notch The food was amazing especially the singapore noodles and beef oyster sauce (both are great and rich in flavour) I definately reccomend and the travel all the way from Cambridgeshire to Paington was more than worth it :)

Great restaurant. We loved the staff and the food. Highly recommended. Would always choose to eat here for Thai food in Paignton.

Food was ammaaaaazing! Staff were LOVELY! Very accommodating! Very friendly! Everybody just have smiled on their faces. We had to eat here twice ❤️ just couldn’t get enough of the food. They even sang happy birthday and gave me an ice cream cake for my birthday 🎉🥳🎂 highly recommended!

Very tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere. Good mix of ages dining so something for everyone

This is probably the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to, if not the best restaurant in general. The food is so flavourful, I'm literally salivating just thinking about it. We got the red, massaman, and jungle curries as well as the Pad Khee Mao noodles (I think that was the name), and all of them were sooooooo gooooood! If it seems pricey, then don't worry because the large portions make up for it. I probably wouldn't even bother getting any starters since the food is so filling. The only downside was the sticky rice, which felt like it had been made from a packet, and there wasn't much of it either. The steamed rice is much better since it looks like it is made fresh.

Treated myself to my favourite takeaway tonight lovely food as always and friendly staff highly recommended

Even though we came only at 9:15 and they close 10pm, they welcomed us and offered the full service. Good food, great service. Worth 5 stars.

AMAZING Thai food. Absolutely authentic. I'd recommend the Massama curry, it was the best Thai food I'd ever had. Food took a while to arrive, but it was worth it!

Great find..food was lovely we had the mixed starters,red duck and red chicken curries,penang curry,pad Thai ,sticky rice and egg fried rice..left full and happy

We honestly had one of the best meal, we've had in a long time. The sharing platter dumplings were something else, incredible. Food was Steaming hot, full of flavour, cooked well, loads of condiments that go with the dish. Staff were lovely, polite and the right amount of interaction. Restaurant was clean and lit well. Honestly I can't fault them. Thank for a lovely meal.

The food here is simply delicious. Very friendly and attentive service. Thank you so much! 👍🏻 We were in Paignton for 4 days and visited this restaurant twice.

Lovely little restaurant, staff very friendly and attentive, food was delicious 10/10.

Excellent Thai food with very happy and friendly staff!

Friend welcome and fantastic authentic Thai meals to remind us of our holidays in Thailand. Chatted to staff about our trips to Thailand and tried our Thai on them. Mei bi lie. Great evening and walk back along sea front.

My partner and I came on a 7 day trip to paignton and we wanted some delicious food. We ordered pork dumplings, tempura prawns, beef pad thai, and Chicken Singapore noodles. Everything tasted super fresh and the prawns were to die for! Thanks for the awesome service

This was the highlight of a recent trip to the area. It was so good the first night, we went back the next night. Service was brilliant, super friendly and timely, the food was on a par with food we have eaten on several visits to Thailand. Portion size is really good with very reasonable prices. Just loved it, shame it is so far from us. Highly recommended.

Great food, excellent service lovely staff Very enjoyable would recommend.

The food is excellent, and I couldn't say anymore. It's a must try .

Fantastic menu to choose from and absolutely top quality, gorgeous food served. Brilliant service. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely night.

Expensive and not that good, the best thing on the menu was the Tiger beer. I should have realised that it wasn't that good as there were only two other people in there eating

Beautiful food, and great service!

Outstanding, had a fantastic meal. Great staff. Thank you!!!

Thai curry was like water, chicken was either over cooked or warmed up, when we complained they said we will make more but it’ll be the same

Small portions not surprised no one else was in. Expensive for what you get and nothing special for a restaurant more like a take away with chairs and table but much more expensive.

Delicious Food excellent and so kind service very efficient Thai restaurant With a real Thai tasty

Visited here on Saturday evening with my sons. From the first greeting to the goodbye when you leave, this restaurant is superb. The staff are so friendly, the food is first class, will definitely be visiting again and I highly recommend it to anyone who...

Best Thai food I’ve had in Britain in these years. We will definitely come back if we visit Paignton again x

Excellent Thai restaurant. Fantastic service and friendly service. Food was excellent. We had a vegetarian set menu for two and there was plenty of food for us. Drinks were top quality too. Would definitely return and would probably go some way out of my way to go here again. Soon.

Absolutely delicious! Very friendly and welcoming, lovely tasty food and will definitely go again when we’re next in the area!

Visited for the first time this evening. Had the set menu B. Food was excellent, very tasty, staff friendly. Room was a bit chilly but will visit again

The best Thai in Torbay. Not only is the food fantastic, so is the service.

Cozy, friendly service. Big portions and very tasty.

Lovely food. Amazing friendly and efficient staff. Warm welcome. Will be back again and again. The Local Thai are spot on. Well done and thanks. Highly recommended.

Lovely Thai food, had as a takeaway for nye dinner, staff lovley only thing that let it down was chewy squid! Everything else was delicious, both the curries we're delicious as were the dumplings.

This ranks right up there with the best, incredible flavours, lovely presentation, and the cocktails are good too! Lovely service too.

Stopped here on a Saturday night looking for somewhere to eat. We were very lucky as they only had one table free as the previous dinners had just left. The place was full which made for a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and...

Love love love the food every time!!!!

Excellent meal, service was spot on, and good value. Nice atmosphere, good sized portions (one rice between the two of us was plenty).

This is my favourite place 😍 at the moment its pricey but really nice as a treat .. they do a set menu photo above set menu A

Absolutely yummy! Prawn tempura as starter and sizzling seafood for main. I will definitely return when nearby in future. The waitress was fab also. I wish this was in my home town to take all my friends to!

Went here for a Sunday evening meal as this was one of the only Thai restaurants in the area that did dine in on a Sunday evening but I'm so glad we ended up here. This was the best Thai I've had since Thailand. We had the mixed starter platter and I couldn't tell you what the best item on the board was because it was all good and then I had a chicken Penang and my wife had the prawn green curry both of which were full of flavour and punch, exactly what you want from a Thai. On top of the food the service was friendly, attentive and very happy. We will be back as soon as possible. Yum yum!

First time we’ve tried Local Thai after recommendation. We we not disappointed! Some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had with amazing service! Will definitely be back 😎

First time i had tried Thai food & it was exceptional. Lovely flavours, great friendly staff. Would highly reccomend. Would visit again.

Lovely little restaurant, food is so tasty, staff can't do enough for you and reasonable prices. If I lived local would defo use on a regular basis but just on hols and have been twice in a week

Excellent food and very good service...

Beautiful visit, beautiful food. Well worth an evening out.

We visited to celebrate the last evening of our holiday. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service excellent in every way - so friendly and welcoming. Best tempura prawns ever, excellent Tom Ka soup. The ice cream dessert was modesty described on the menu...

Beautiful restaurant and the food is amazing, the staff were great too

Beautiful food, very friendly lovely staff, good price, a must if you ever find yourself in Paignton

All I can say is wow. The food here is absolutely amazing and the staff are so polite and helpful.

Always a five star experience - from the service of the staff, convivial environment, to the food itself. We had the mixed platter as a starter: vegetable spring rolls, satay chicken, pork dumplings, crispy fried chilli squid with sweet chilli, peanut, and sweet sriracha dips. Perfect appetisers all. Main courses were lamb shank massaman, and vegetable massaman, both accompanied by sticky coconut rice. Along with the starter and our ordered prawn crackers we were pretty stuffed and content when it was time to pay the bill. Add in the 4x330ml Singha beers, one Pina Colada cocktail and one iced coffee, and the bill came to a very reasonable £77.

We were very lucky to get a table for two at around 7pm on a Bank Holiday Sunday. The food was excellent and the service friendly and cheerful. We will definitely be back.

The chicken satay starter was the best chicken satay sticks I've ever had. The Pad Thai noodles (with chicken) was amazing. The food presentation was beautiful. The staff are all lovely and very accommodating. We were even able to book in despite them being very busy. I recommend the Thai ice tea.

The best Thai food I've ever had and the staff go above and beyond every single time! With huge portions and cheap dining, its just lovely. Try the thai iced tea its my favourite!!

Was going well until I had a small problem with my order and the staff became very hostile. Great place otherwise.

After over 20 years since I've been to Paignton I found this absolutely fantastic restaurant I started off with tempura prawns starter following by main course of sea bass green curry and egg fried rice absolutely amazing food quick service and friendly staff will definitely return

I do not live in Paignton or in Devon at that matter I live more near Cambridge and the drive to Devon was worth it for this place It had great food, it was clean, the staff were very smily as well as welcoming and it makes me interested into Thai culture as a whole. This is how you do a restaurant especially a Thai one It was a shame that we saw a couple dining and dashing

We came here last minute on a Saturday evening and we managed to get a table, The staff were so friendly and full of smiles. We had the mixed starter to share which was a delicious and I asked for my curry to be extra...

We had a wonderful selection of starters to share. We were very lucky that the staff happily squeezed us in as we hadn’t pre-booked. The food was delicious and the staff were really friendly. We were kindly pre-warned that there would be a long wait...
