Ting Thai Caravan in Edinburgh, City of

Top. Delicious dishes, fast service and excellent value for money.

Very tasty and lots of choice. Cool atmosphere. Totally ok in terms of price.

The staff was really friendly. Shout out Ashah and Bea!

Brilliant food, amazing service. Really enjoyed it. Great dining experience. Will be back again soon

Excellent address full of people and tasty dishes for a very very affordable price

Typical very Westernized "Thai" food for people who have never had actual Thai in their lives. Mostly just noodles in heaps of salty soy sauce with that cheap bright red sweet chilli sauce slathered over everything. Noodles were pretty terrible, and resembled a cheap British-Chinese takeaway rather than any Thai food I've ever had, although they are presented nicely. The pork belly was ridiculously served. Huge hunks of very hard, fried-to-death pork with no knife to cut it! Like... um. It was allegedly a soup or curry, so you're not supposed to use your hands, but they give you a spoon and fork for large pieces of tough pork? Odd. The eggs were good enough. I mean, they weren't like any son-in-law eggs I've seen, and again, it was that supermarket sweet chilli jam and nothing else. But they were nicely cooked. The server was great. Super friendly and helpful. Too bad the food isn't much and the ambience is like a canteen. It's probably good for British uni students though, which I assume is who they cater to.

Very nice food and people. Cool Thaii location in Edinburgh!

Good, fast service! Busy and good atmosphere.

Thai restaurant in Edinburgh also serving takeaways. The dishes are delicious and the prices are not excessively high for being in Scotland. The restaurant is small and you will have to share a table but it is totally worth it. They have tai beer!!

Very delicious. Large portions for the price. Busy but amazing place to meet up with friends.

We had an excellent yellow curry and a panang curry that was also very good. The massaman curry is the best thing we've tried though, incredibly flavoursome and reasonably priced, especially when ordered before 5!

Saw this place on Youtube…also, as we were craving for Asian food, we had decided to give it a try. Being from Asia and also aware that the (Asian) food, in Europe, is generally on the saltish side, we had asked our waitress if they could go easy on the salt. The answer was a no…saying that the paste, for the tomyam, was “already mixed”. Errrr….how about the rest of the food? Like the beef salad and stir-fried kway teow? If everything was pre-mixed, we might as well buy off the supermarket! The food came…it was salty. I mean, SALTY. We had to add the table water to the tomyam…and also ordered a bowl of white Jasmine rice to go with everything. Apart from the salt situation, I wouldn’t say that this is authentic Thai food. Definitely been “westernized” to suit the local palate. The good review, from the YouTuber, needs to be handled with a pinch of salt.

The taste is so-so, far from European Thai food, let alone Thai local taste. The improved taste is too bland, the homemade one is better than it, pad thai is dry, khao is bland and tasteless😅

Fantastic Thai food to be found here, had the Massaman pork belly twice now, and it's just so tasty and filling for less than £10.

This place was recommended to us but unfortunately we found the food very bland. It is also a very busy location and there were not enough staff on shift, so service took a while. On the whole the staff were great though, and the food was still enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the sweet corn fritters.

great food, descent prices, you get complementary jug of tap water with your meal which is a nice touch (although you can order other drinks if you wish)

What u pay is what u get, accurate pound for food. Not a best buy. Food doesen t have taste, if u never had asian food it might be something for u. But if u are searching for more authenthic, savory, food with some flavor u should find somewhere else. Not great , not terible. Pad thai was flavorless. 7/10

More noodles than veggie but flavorful and quick service

Hipster Thai restaurant. Not a plate in sight. [August 2024] Visited on a Fringe weekend. Queuing outside as normal - but were seated within 5 minutes of presenting ourselves. Menu is largely unchanged, but the prices have had an inflationary bump. Food is superb each and every time we visit. Card is also not accepted, where previously it was cash-only. This is almost a go-to venue for all your thai-related food requirements.

Blown away. I have been recently so disappointed in several Edinburgh eateries, that it was a wonderful surprise to be delighted to find a place that fully deserves its reputation. My one suggestion would be that protein choice could apply to more dishes, as I don't eat meat. It did limit the menu a bit for me. My friend and I were with 2 children, so we kept the dishes mild so greedy mouths could try different things. I had Pad Thai, it was great. My fiend had a unassuming simple dish called Massaman Gai with meat, potatoes, and onions (kid friendly), oh my word the sauce was to die for. I will be back just to have it in my life once again. The Roti's were delicious and came with a fab dipping sauce. All dishes were reasonably priced and generous portions. I can't wait to return, I know what I will be ordering. All for me.

Did not have an enjoyable experience here. We’ve eaten here plenty times before and it’s been great, but tonight was awful. Our order was taken when we sat down. After 30 minutes of sitting we found out that our order had not went through, so it had to be retaken. Bottled drinks hadn’t been brought to our table either. We had a Fringe show to catch so we had no time for delays. Finally got our food and one of our orders were wrong. Hardly got an apology from one of the waitresses. When the bill was brought, it was a full bill. I mentioned that we had waited 40 minutes or more for food and that one of the orders were wrong. The waitress just laughed as she walked away, like what I mentioned was not fair. (Think they had an American/Canadian accent). Don’t think the food/service merited us paying full price and didn’t like the fact I was laughed at. Really disappointed as we have eaten here a lot with no issues.

Thai spot with good & quick service. Tasty dishes, for reasonable prices. Unusual interior, it makes the place look a bit sad, brighter colours would definitely change the vibe.

Pretty good food at pretty good price, and the staff were very friendly if not slightly run off their feet.

I don’t think this is truly a Thai chain. We ordered the Ped Nam Peung and Seabass Maeklong. The Seabass was quite decent and the abundance of herbs and ingredients gave the required fragrance. However, it is quite a westernised version (there’s lettuce beneath the fish, and the sauce isn’t what you expect from a Thai food). The duck was frankly quite bad. It was dry, and while the seasoning had flavour, it did not seep into the duck sufficiently. It is also unfortunate that 1 or 2 pieces were overcooked too. One of the more bizarre aspect is that you are given your own jug and have to fill up from the tap yourselves. Furthermore, our table wasn’t wiped before we were seated, so there were roti flakes on the table. Honestly, if you order the other dishes, it probably should be good. The neighbouring table ordered fried chicken with jasmine rice which actually looks delicious.

Good food , good price, hated the fact some food came in cardboard boxes which made it look unappealing and rather messy looking like it had been chucked in, that's my only negative. 11/08/24 another day with more delicious food and competative prices The food pic where the FiOS is in the cardboard box was the dish that was rather unpleasant to taste Update 6th February 2023 6/2/23 lovely red beef curry today and lovely coconut rice. Order a chicken side dish, hated it but the curry was devine, chicken side dish can't remember the name tasted like you touched perfume with your hand then out your fingers in your mouth, and although I don't have a nut allergy as they asked as they put the food dow, they only asked as they dropped peanuts from my mates dish into mine, told me they had picked it out, well thank f*** I don't have a nut allergy as there was three more peanuts in my curry "Sort the kitchen out!"

Chicken was a bit dry. Flavor was brilliant

Firstly im Thai and I find the food so tasty!! To the point that I wish I could have bought more meals for other days! I had a Chicken Green curry , creamy sweet with little touch of spicy in a generous amount! For an Asian lady like me, it last for 2 meals! The price is reasonable! Highly recommend 10/10

Fantastic Thai street food at a very reasonable price! Quick attentive service with a good atmosphere! A great place for a quick lunch!

We ordered a pad see ew and tofu j. The images are attached below. Sadly both are flavourless. What was worse is that the huge pieces of broccoli in the pad see ew weren't cooked. These took up 1/4 of the box and aren't edible. The quantity for the price is bad, and when the food tastes so poor, makes it worse. Pad see ew is supposed to be spicy and have flavour, this one just tasted oily. Don't be misled by the sweet red chillies in the image. They did nothing to the food :( The tofu j were beancurd which tasted like pockets of oil, with again no seasoning As a vegetarian, with no disrespect, i can help the chef make this food taste much better. Feel bad to have wasted so much money. Service staff was sweet, from the little interaction we had

Very very good Thai food in Edinburgh. I‘ve ordered the pad thai and the tofu was incredible.

The food quality is so poor from Ting Thai these days...it used to be good 10 years ago but they've increased their prices whilst reducing the quality of the food. Disappointed with my last few orders but gave them the benefit of the doubt so ordered again...last time I'm afraid, not what it used to be! From a very loyal customer who has been eating your food since 2013

Great food - tasty and authentic! cheap prices on food and drink Definitely try if you're a fan of Thai food!

Delicious food and great service

Very very decent.. it got highly recommended and we had to try. Atmosphere is good, aesthetics are nice and was my kinda place. Food was lovely but as with so many places which are above average, this doesn't mean it's outstanding. Portions are great, food tasty but not in the outstanding bracket and I wasn't thinking wow! It's decent standard which should be expected everywhere..

The food, especially the curry, is phenomenal!!

The food was lacking flavour throughout and generally it didn’t feel very authentic. We also found the serving of food in boxes feels very wasteful and unnecessary. Obviously it’s supposed to be creating a ‘vibe’ like it’s street food, but feels like you’re essentially eating a takeaway in a restaurant. Service was good. Overall it was just a pretty average experience, and was hoping for much more having read the reviews. Super busy on a Monday though, which was great to see.

My fav restaurants since 2017!!! Must visit restaurants in Edinburgh!! Nothings failed here.. all good!!!

So I used to work here hesitant of ordering in the first place I did anyway let me tell you when I worked here none of the chefs had training there was a lot of cross contamination that went unnoticed between things that just shouldn’t happen anyway I ordered a massaman curry some coconut rice and a roti for a start the roti tasted as if it was cooked in a pan that hadn’t been washed so it tasted of straight fish then came the rice so overcooked and just straight mush then to top it all off I found a massive black hair in my curry If you have a brain read this and stay away

Went there twice on my trip to Edinburgh, most of our dishes were really good. Nice atmosphere, seems to be popular :)

A small but nice place to eat special dishes.

Good food, but £3 to add rice to a meal that it should accompany...loose the ploy.

Dissapointing taste, soups were extreeeemley sweet and thick, battered prawn wasn’t authentic in slightest, staff great though.

Hands down THE BEST RESTAURANT in Edinburgh!!! I’ve tried Pad Thai from various countries, this is one THE BEST! It’s so good, in fact I’ve eaten here 4 times out of my 1 week travel in Edinburgh. You MUST give it a try!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍

Good food but only high tables with (bar) stools to sit on

A place for those who love sour taste!🙌🏼 The portion of pad Thai was quite big, if you are a small eater definitely share with someone! The beef inside was quite tough and rubbery, but seasoned properly. Egg was a bonus for the dish since the complex smoky flavor coming from the frying heat was very appetizing 👍 Tom kha gai was very sour for ppl who don’t eat sour stuffs in daily life, but just great for me as a big “sourness in savory food” fan. 🍋 the chicken breast slices were again very dry and tough, and there were not a lot of veg. The flavorful soup base was the point between all components. Fried tofu was drizzled with very sweet chili sauce (which is not spicy at all) me personally don’t like sweet chili sauce so I would only give this dish a 2 out of 5. Peanut chunks were sprinkled over the tofu for extra crunchiness which was good. Overall the service was nice and the atmosphere was great. I would order Pad Thai again but not other dishes I’ve got today.

Busy lunch service, large portions, food was too salty and not spicy enough.

A perfect meal. I hadn't eaten any leafy green veg for five meals, couldn't stand it and stormed in. Ordered the Mee Gratiam with beef (extra 1.2 pounds) and Goong Frong Beer, which was served quickly. The Mee Gratiam had loads of beef, pok choi and onions. The fried prawns were very crispy and topped with a Thai sweet and chili sauce. Considering I had an overly expensive Thai meal only two days ago (the fish cakes at that restaurant were RTC food!) ,there's little reason not to give Ting thai five stars.

My name is Vikram I work for deliveroo drive . Tonight ( Saturday evening) I picked up two order from this place , one order was ready and I kept in my bag, another order will take 5 minute that said to me , I was waiting like 15 minutes, after that I waives to waiters( girls) they ignored me , I was watching from glass door my order was ready long time back no one come to me asked to me what is ur order number ,anoter side another order was getting later order was £53 . And customer ask me why u come so late , he blame me to me I think floor staff have lake of hospitality & alertness So I prefer to people don’t do take order from them as they taking so long ,

A fabulous place! My daughter and I were both feeling poorly during a university open day and craving chicken soup. This place was recommended by local friends and didn’t disappoint! We loved our soups - we had a different one each. So tasty! Quick service and a very charming waiter. We will be back!

It's really delicious, especially the rice menu! The staff is also very friendly.

One of my favourite Thai places in Edinburgh

Food pretty good but be careful to check your bill carefully. We were billed for the wrong table and sure I should have checked before paying but we ended up paying for 4 meals rather than two. Basics like billing the correct group should be got right.

Good food and affordable price. A little bit crowded during lunchtime tho.

Food abysmal. Atmosphere bizarre. What’s with the boxes??? Tiny bowls. You have to fill your own water. Unpleasant eating experience and food that bordered on inedible — too sweet, not spicy, nothing fresh.

Ordered the pad Thai and pad see ew for delivery for dinner. Portions are big and delivery was on time. However, both dishes were way too sweet and we couldn’t have more than a couple of mouthfuls before deciding to throw it out. The chicken pieces inside the dishes were also pretty much inedible - hard and dry and tasted like cardboard. Overall a really disappointing dinner :(

Food was amazing but everything arrives as its ready and the portions are generous. So be aware when ordering starters :-)

Food was not authentic thai. It was mostly (very) salty from soy sauce; lacking flavours that was supposed to come from fish sauce/ lemongrass/ lime etc. If you have an Asian tastebud like me, I'd say skip this restaurant. Otherwise, portions were generous for the price we paid.

Food was so good! A bit hectic but you could say it’s hip. Not for a comfortable dinner but it is perfect for what it is.

Really good pad Thai and curry so good

Brilliant food for very decent money, which is definitely hard to find in Edinburgh. We had to wait a while for a table, but it was worth it 😁 amazing! I'd love to visit again!

It's small and if you don't mind sitting cramped then it's one of the best meals at an affordable price you will find in Edinburgh. A personal favourite.

Amazing flavours and an even better price here! If you want Thai food, come here! The place gets very busy so expect a wait. Delicious food is served very quickly with nice, attentive service. Meals here are cheap but extremely high quality. Highly recommended

Amazing food! Friendly staff! I always come when I visit Edinburgh. Though in the evening it can be a bit loud and not the most comfortable chair. But definitely worth trying and it satisfies our desire for carb!

One of the best food we had in Edinburgh. Had the pork belly and it was amazing, never had so good asian flavoured pork belly before.

Lovely place and love the food but it felt like we were being rushed. Went there with a friend at around 5pm who I haven’t seen in years. Every 10-15 mins the blonde lady would rudely interrupt us, ask if we were finished, and if we wanted the bill. Was planning to order more food but felt rushed so just left. Received better service at the ting thai at Lothian road without being made to feel rushed and expected the same service here. This place should really improve their customer service and never rush a customer especially when they’re still eating.

Max is a delightful young man who catered to our every need. Personable and handsome.

Excellent food and great prices.

I asked for pad thai vegan. Which is stated on the menu as a dish they can do vegan. Unfortunately, what I was served contained egg in it, and before realising, I consumed some (im guessing it also contained fish sauce). They did apologise and provided a replacement that was vegan, but I was still extremely disappointed and upset. I realise mistakes happen, but I'm afraid I wouldn't recommend if you are vegan or have allergies.

Adorable waitress and we had a great time, excellent Thai, at an affordable price, which is not insignificant in Edinburgh. All our dishes were excellent

Amazing food! Highly recommend it.

The best massaman curry I have had. The atmosphere could be better, but the food is prepared very quickly and the prices are reasonable

We ordered the soup noodles and chicken wing, both salty, and the bills were wrong, checking the bills is important before pay.

Poor customer service. After we order, directly asked us to wait outside of the store three times. However, it is extremely cold outside this time, it is unacceptable in this case. And the waiter said “ if you do not mind…”, we do mind to wait outside considering the poor weather.

Great food, nice guy serving us, what's not to like

Buzzing and busy place we ended up here because of the rain. Service was fast and friendly. I got a pork belly and my friend the pad Thai. The pork belly was nice and soft, while my friend said the pad Thai was tasty but it was too oily.

not lying when I say it’s the best green curry I’ve had since actually being in Thailand. Ting Thai is a must-try in Edinburgh in my opinion. affordable too, but it can get super busy!

Get this party started with the chicken pad tai - so far the best i had on planet earth. Prices are more than fair and in general nice ambience 🍜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌍

Right here is where it’s at. Best ting Thai in Scotland!

I sincerely did not enjoy the Pad Thai, which is a bad sign for a Thai restaurant. The taste was very sweet and not spicy at all. The flavours were totally unbalanced. The other dishes might be better but I would recommend that you avoid the Pad Thai.

Delicious massaman and garlic noodles. Place is much nicer than I’d realised from photos online. Minimalist chic

Tasty food, a little annoying that they serve the noodle dishes in takeaway boxes when you’re eating in. The deep fried eggs were delicious! The restaurant was very loud as it was busy and there was loud music playing

Oh Ting Thai what happened?! We used to LOVE this place. The food was always super fresh, really authentic and delivered a proper punch of Thai flavours. Our food tonight was the opposite. Totally flat, badly executed and bland. Why the sad accompaniment of limp salad on everything? Everything seemed to lack its usual zing! Service was ok but they forgot a Tom Yam soup and drinks orders were slow. Seemed that Deliveroo orders were taking precedent over serving people in the restaurant. I hate that. Hopefully an off night and not a terminal decline but we won’t be rushing back sadly.

We enjoyed it so much here and found the prices so fair that we decided to eat here three out of five evenings in Edinburgh. Yes, it's usually full, but the staff is always friendly, the crowd is always youthful and relaxed - the atmosphere is always pleasant. It's worth waiting a few minutes in front of the door. Keep on!! :-))

Went there three times, tried three different dishes, and it’s just really really bad. The meat is overcooked way too much (yes I tried beef, pork and chicken dishes, they are all extremely overcooked). The meat isn’t cleaned and prepared properly, as in there is still a strong animal smell if you know what I mean. Had one of the soup noodles, the broth is bad, at least I didn’t like how it taste, very sour, does not pair well with the dish entirely. The service was okay, I can tell the staff are doing their best, but front of house is understaffed.

Arrived as a party of four, seated almost immediately as we got through the door. The drinks order was taken and delivered promptly by smiling attentive staff. It was our first time visiting this establishment and it did not disappoint! Our order was cooked to perfection and again, delivered without delay. No fault could be found but the biggest shock was the bill - all four main meals, with various accompaniments and drinks came in at less than £70. Phenomenal! If ever you’re in Edinburgh, craving Asian/Thai food, DO NOT pass up the opportunity of visiting this restaurant.

Noodle soup is delicious and perfect spice! Very reasonable prices and great music!

Went for a quick lunch after class. Quick service and delicious food. I got one of the small boxes and a cup of coconut rice and it was the perfect size.

Tasty and good portion sizes. It's stools not chairs being the only downside.

pad thai is delicious and not expensive

The best Thai Food in Edinburgh! Always a treat

Really weird “thai” food….Noodle dishes are all served in take-away containers when dining in for some reason

Visited many times and never been disappointed. Fast paced, street food style dining, that’s reasonably priced and flavours that bang! If you’re after particularly attentive service and higher end dining, then no it’s not the place, but it doesn’t pretend to be. Great option in fringe time when you you want to eat and move on to shows. Pad Thai always good, as are the curries and it’s a menu I want one of everything from each time we visit :)

Really great atmosphere, nice staff and the food is outstanding!

Good atmosphere, good value for price. The marinated pork with rice is nice, spicy, sour, the very Thai taste.

Espectacular, todas las comidas buenísimas y la sopa de gambas brutal, lo mejor de todo. Y genial de precio. Muy recomendable y esencial si vienes a Edimburgo y no quieres hacer reservas. Repetiré

Really cool option for some affordable Asian. Menu is quite diverse and the service is excellent. Good value for money, especially the small boxes.

Surprisingly good food.. The curry is depth in flavour, pad thai is spot on. The ambience of the establishment is also very. Cozy.

Lovely cheery helpful staff and food was just fantastic Thank you 👍

The atmosphere was nice the music was a bit loud it was also a bit cold . The food was nice although the vegan pad see Ew could be improved . Wasn't the biggest fan of the dishes being served in cardboard boxes .

Place was very loud (music wise) but the food made up for it!
