Wow! We were so excited after not eating all day, got off the train and ordered almost everything off the menu 🤣 the pork larb is incredible! I highly recommend trying this fresh and flavorsome dish. We ordered too much food and have taken the leftovers home. Yum!

Really exceptional food at an amazing price. Absolutely fantastic quality, authentic Thia food, I can't recommend highly enough!

(Street food next to the park inn pub) the food was amazing, atmosphere was lovely, table for one as a walk in straight from the train station, was perfectly catered for in such a small space.

Lots of good food, very tasty. The decor is not fancy but the food is excellent.

Best Thai Red curry I've ever had. The moo ping is a must. Superb.

Lovely food - good customer service

Wasted journey. Booked online to find restaurant closed. The pub offered us food but obviously they hadn't received the online order re:allergies and couldn't offer a single main dish.

Left messages to book this place and didn’t even receive a call back so no idea what the foods like. Shame

Amazing service and food for our date night! The waitress was friendly and even offered to pack up the curries that we couldn’t finish. Thai Red Curry was really tasty - will definitely return on our next trip to Folkestone

Amazing aromatic flavours, so delicious and lovely people

Had my Birthday bash here. Was absolutely fantastic and girls were amazing and so was the food. Had the best night ever. Itching to go back.

So was hubbys birthday and he wanted a Thai and had heard good things about this restaurant and they also delivered. We pre ordered for delivery at 7pm and when it arrived you was instantly hit with the amazing aromas from the food. Hubby had the Tamarind Stir Fry - Duck and he absolutely loved it. The sauce was so flavoursome and he loved it. Everything we ordered from Chicken Satay Slewers to Chicken Panang was amazing. The food was hot and cooked well. This is definitely a little gem and we will be returning. Thanks

Food is authentic Thai! Spicy and flavourful. Photo is of halfway through them! 😂 Tom yum soup is made of a lot of different veggies. You hardly get that anywhere. Love it!

Super tasty, fast and pleasant service!

Order cancelled without explanation. Wouldn't be so bad if it was instantly but to do so after 30 minutes of waiting is out of order.

Really nice food, papaya salad was amazing

Brilliant Thai food and a great service and staff to go with.. enjoyed every bit.

We crashed our friend's table booking, and they were able to accommodate an extra three of us at short notice, which was great! The decor is strange but good. It feels a bit like a tourist trap from another country, but it's kind of endearing in a way and makes you forget you're in Folkestone for a brief moment. Service is great, some slight slip ups with drinks and a couple of dishes were a little slow to get to the table; but there were a bunch of us and I believe the cocktails menu was a work in progress (and were awesome!) The food was delicious and well portioned. I'm not that well acquinted with Thai food in general but what I had was very flavourful with a decent spicy kick!

Best Thai food in years. Perfect. Great atmosphere and staff are lovely.

Wonderful food and great service. Loved the juke box!

We had a great evening at this lovely restaurant. The food was so delicious. Great atmosphere and lovely friendly staff. We will most definitely be going back!

Amazing place, super friendly staff and manager (Terri). Love it and would highly recommend you do not miss eating here in Folkestone.

Always a relaxing enjoyable evening. Chilled atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food.

Well I’m not quite sure what to say because I was very exited to try the food…. The experience was mixed with friendliness but a failure to impress with food and undersized portions that felt a little cheeky for the price. Not the best experience.

Absolutely tasty, massive portions for price would recommend.

Food was so fresh!! 👌Really tasty, friendly staff, didn't wait too long. Really enjoyed it.

Very good food, the prawn dim sum are phenomenal.

We weren't sure what to expect since some past reviews were pretty negative. Fortunately during our visit everything went perfectly. The service was very nice, the food arrived quickly and was very good and we had nothing to complain. On the contrary: The quality of everything was comparable to other Thai Restaurants we visited in different countries. We can definitely recommend this restaurant.

Brilliant place with tasty food and good prices

Squeezed us in on a Saturday night, food was brilliant, really tasty. Had eyes too big for our stomachs so had to take some of it away. Warm & friendly service.

Waited over an hour for two dishes. Small plastic container with a few bits of chicken. Lots of nuts and onions for over £10 with cold pork skewers. Value for money is zero. £20 for a few mouthfuls which I didn’t even eat as tasted of nothing

Worst ever , ordered around 7 , after couple hours they tell me that the delivery man is stuck in traffic ..even worse, when I said that I'll pick up, food isn't ready and been told that kitchen is closed

just been there, should have listened it was rubbish

Food was pretty good. Service was awful. The waitress was so rude. Seemed like she didn’t want our custom. Even took my food away when I was still eating it

As first time customers, we recently had a very bad takeaway experience at your Dover branch which was never dealt with by the restaurant and in response to my review on Tripadvisor I was fobbed off as being after a free takeaway order (Thong Dees Thai Dover, see my review) and since then we have lost all confidence with dining at any of your establishments (now and in the future) as the management is quite simply rubbish and that's putting it politely. You can get better food and much better Customer Service elsewhere, we would certainly not recommend you to our family and friends.

Food was late, wrong item supplied, cold & no spice at all despite ordering items sold as spicy on the menu. Rang to complain and was offered a full refund on the basis that the driver would return to collect the food; this never happened despite me calling to chase them. No refund or consideration given so would not recommend the use of this establishment to anyone; very disappointed.....

Excellent food and service. I had the "Steak and Noodles" which was superbly cooked. Spring rolls also went down nicely.

We visited this restaurant for the first time and found food amazing, authentic, fragrant and delicious. We appreciated the owner not only serving us but interested in us enough to help us decide on what to have and follow up for feedback. Excellent food. Will be back. Many thanks.

This Thai street food style restaurant is such a fantastic addition to the growing Folkestone food culture and one to try for sure if you haven't already. The dishes are packed full of flavour, seasoned and spiced and cooked lovely and fresh. Very authentic and can't wait to go again in the near future. The restaurant is oddly shaped around a staircase to the taxi rank on the floor above however as its a street food style restaurant it makes it quite quirky and unique. We enjoyed a mixed starter option and then a Thai curry and a stir fry, the options are great.

Just ordered from here and it took 2 half hour for 3 things and it not even Thai food it was so dry I put it in the bin

Chaotic/rude service. Massaman curry consisted of meat and unpeeled boiled potatoes swimming in a jar of overconcentrated sauce. Nasty

Second time here, first time was several months ago just after they had opened. This place continues to get better. The food is still excellent. Fresh, flavourful and good value. They've expanded the menu ;great choice of dishes, well presented and decent portion sizes. I have to say that their Massaman Curry is the best I've tasted. Absolutely fantastic. We first visited just after they had opened, and they've used the time well to decorate it further by our second visit. Pleasant, light and airy atmosphere now. They've got extra staff, and again they're really pleasant & helpful. All in all, this is the best Thai in the area, and amazing value. It is now my go to restaurant. As an aside, I don't normally take pictures of my food, but my seafood dish was so good, that I took a picture to make a friend jealous. I've attached it, because.. well, why not? 😁

Had a lovely evening, great decors, great staff, highly recommended

Called and ordered a vegetable pad Thai and a tofu stir fry. They said it would be ready in 20 mins. We got to the restaurant and waited an hour. When we finally got the order they had made the wrong dishes and put tofu in both.

Freshly cooked beautiful food, friendly staff, a must try if you love Thai food

Proper real Thai food. The pork skewers were next level. Cool music and decor. Definitely going back.

Great food, service & cocktails! I would recommend the massaman

The food here is amazing! I would go as far as to say that it's the best Thai food I have ever eaten!

My first time eating here and came In with a friend. We came In early to pre-book a table which on a Saturday evening is probably best seeing as it's not a big restaurant so better to be safe than sorry. The service was good with polite and friendly staff. We ordered the sharing platter for two people and that was a good sized plate for two people for a starter complete with 3 dips. The Massaman beef curry was well cooked with very tender beef and Jasmine rice and the Pad nam prig pow was well cooked too. Overall good food in a nice relaxing environment.

Could have a nicer meal for the same money

I always have the best time here. Really good Thai food. Lovely and fun staff. Tremendous music. Good pints. It’s a joy.

Amazing food, friendly hosts and staff. Spot on. Looking forward to going back again.

Great food cooked to order, friendly and helpful. Wish we had a restaurant this good locally

Great fresh food, friendly staff and nostalgic soundtrack.

A great tasty menu. We ate an excellent massaman curry with an off menu beef laab dish which was one of the best I've ever had. Pork and chicken satay was amazing and I could have eaten 20 of them. Was very busy and booking is advised.

Really good Thai food, would go again. Only complaint would be they need more extractors. The fumes coming from the kitchen were overpowering at times. Definitely would return

True taste of authentic Thailand! What a find. The food is just stunning

Accidentally found this absolute gem. This isn’t one of those fancy Thai restaurants. However, if you want to sample some of the best Thai food you have ever tasted … THIS IS THE PLACE. Great vibe also! Good work guys

Amazing thai food! Best we had in the uk by far! fully recommend! Lovely people too!

If you are after authentic Thai food, pay a visit to this restaurant, you wont be disappointed. The best Thai food for miles around, and served by genuinely friendly people Thank you

Had the sharing platter and a massaman curry between two of us & it was amazing food like in Thailand

Incredible authentic Thai food from Thai chefs! Absolutely delicious and great service!!

Amazing food!!! And they have Chang! 😁 Massaman was AWESOME 😉

Great food and good value for money.very fresh and really testy. Chicken red curry and Crispy Duck Tamarind..100%back again☺

Very delicious and original Thai test

First time visitor and we will be back. The food is phenomenal, and as big Thai fans, we can say confidently one of the best we've had. We can't wait to go back!

Lovely food! Service took a while however, but they are quite new.
