Ting Thai Caravan in Edinburgh, City of

I do not recommend their Vegan option for Wok Fried Noodle. I could not even finish cause too much soy sauce in it and it tasted too bitter. I used to have fried noodle there but this time I try vegan option and decided to never eat that again. Overall, the meal was not good at all except for the environment and the service.

Date of Visit: March 25 We recently visited Ting Thai and, unfortunately, our experience was far from satisfactory. While the atmosphere remains vibrant and inviting, the service we received was disappointing. We ordered the vegan Pad Thai and vegan Pad See Ew with tofu and vegetables, along with the chilli sauce vegetables. We were informed that the chilli sauce vegetables were unavailable, which was understandable. However, the issues began when our Pad Thai arrived without tofu. Upon requesting the missing ingredient, the server simply returned from the kitchen and placed four pieces of dry, deep-fried tofu on top of the dish without mixing them in. As a result, instead of properly cooked and integrated tofu, we were left with bland, deep-fried pieces that did not complement the dish at all. To make matters worse, when we received the bill, we noticed that we were charged for the chilli sauce vegetables, which we never received. Additionally, our main dishes were listed with tofu and vegetables, meaning we would have overpaid for items we didn’t actually get had we not carefully checked the receipt. We have visited this location before and had a positive experience, but this visit felt as though the restaurant was being run by inexperienced staff who made multiple careless mistakes. Given our past experience, this was both surprising and disappointing. We hope that management takes these concerns seriously, as such issues can significantly impact customer satisfaction.

While the food is good and I'd probably recommend for that, I've been kept waiting for 40 minutes for takeaway on two occasions and my food was suddenly found both times when I marched in demanding a refund. Food is good, but don't rely on being anywhere within an hour of ordering takeaway apparently.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! The service was great, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that made it fantastic value for money. I couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were given the quality and quantity of the dishes. I’d definitely go back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service!

Favourite Thai restaurant in Edinburgh by far! Best Pad Thai I have ever eaten and that’s coming from someone who’s spent years in Thailand! Casual dining, nice atmosphere and very reasonable pricing! Tip: go before 5pm it’s cheaper! Masaman and green curries used to be 10/10 although the recipe seems to have changed in the last 6 months. Still good although it is quite gutting to be honest the original recipe was much better.

Fantastic food! Brings back memories from when I lived in Thailand. Friendly staff and great price!

Good Thai place, it was jam packed. I tried the Yellow curry and jasmine rice which was quite good. The staff are courteous and friendly and the food is yummy.

Got pad Thai with chicken no chillies best dish ever!!!so fresh and tasty!!

laoice, izzy and pheobe were all amazing!!!

Modern clubby chic and full of energy. They nailed it here. Dont miss out

We liked this Thai restaurant so much that we visited it twice. On the first visit we were more successful with the dishes we ordered. The best, without a doubt, was the Nua Tom Ting Thai soup, with a good spicy kick and an absolutely delicious taste. We also loved the Gaeng Kiew Wan Gai green curry, with an intense flavor and a very well-balanced light spiciness. The king prawn pad thai was very good. On the second visit, what I liked the most was the Massaman curry, less tasty than the green one, but still recommended. The Tom Yam Gai soup, on the other hand, didn't convince me as much. The service is fast and efficient. On weekends the restaurant is very full and they do not accept reservations, so you usually have to wait. However, as they are shared tables, the wait is not too long. Without a doubt, a place to repeat.

Had one waiter very rude she barley spoke to us. The food wasnt very good meat was overcooked and not seasoned if you want ramen just go to pho and pay the same chicken wings weren't spicy and masaman Currys was just the sauce poured over the meal not cooked fresh.

Being regular customer for a long time today I have been disappointed with quality of food. I have asked for egg fried rice and spicy peek gai wings ask for hot it's was sweet . It's was takeaway so I got white steam rice with sprinkles wee eggs which suppose stir fry with drown in color it's totally dry white ride and wings very less in portion price went up it's okay but quality is poor and wings no spicy it was dry wings hairs with no flavour. So, will not back unless they improve quality food. Still service 5 star for service apart downfall in food quality.

Visitamos aquí después de que nos lo recomendaran y en general tuvimos una gran comida. Tenían una gran selección de bebidas, especialmente un ron especiado tailandés muy sabroso que probé. Mi entrante era sabroso, sin embargo el pollo a la parrilla era un poco masticable en textura. Sin embargo, ambos de nuestros principales eran fantásticos. Tenía el curry Panang que era muy sabroso y el pollo cocinado mucho mejor - no estoy seguro de cómo había una diferencia entre el pollo en mi mente de dos platos. Nos pareció un poco extraño que se hubieran molestado en adquirir palitos biodegradables, pero aún así sirvieron todos sus platos pequeños en cajas de cartón. Estoy seguro de que estos se lavan y reciclan, pero aún así parece que la vajilla sería una mejor opción aquí, desde el punto de vista de la experiencia gastronómica también! En general, tuvimos una gran comida y sin duda recomendaría el restaurante. Es un gran lugar de comida casual - el yo - jarras de agua rellenables son una gran idea y necesario para aquellos que no son grandes con especias!

I visited because it was close to my accommodation, and it opens at 12 o'clock, but it fills up quickly. Tom Yum Cai had hard chicken and a strong smell (chicken smell?), so I only ate the soup, and Pad Kapao Moo Sap was a bit salty, but it was okay. It was nice to be able to eat this much Thai food in Edinburgh. It's a decent restaurant.

El ambiente era animado y nos gustó la amplia gama de auténticos platos de comida tailandesa. Los fideos de huevo fritos estaban deliciosos. El servicio fue excelente y el personal hizo todo lo posible para garantizar que disfrutamos de nuestra cena.

The chair is very uncomfortable to sit on All the dishes are overly sweet, especially the pad thai, which is not delicious. The curry tastes pretty good, but the chicken is made from very thin breast meat and the potatoes are whole and undercooked. Overall, it’s average. The chicken wings were over fried and dry.

Unreal food! Massive portions! Great price! Chai iced tea was 🤌🏼

Brilliant little restaurant with some great authentic tasting Thai food. We visited here on a Tuesday night as a group of 4 and it was ready busy which was a good sign! We had the pad ka-phrao which was amazing and the pad thai, chicken wings and roti were all fab too.

Delicious food. Affordable lunch prices. Fun atmosphere. One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh.

Fantastic food with fair price. The beef noodle can be a bit spicy but the soup tastes great and you got lots of meat in it!! And they even serve chopsticks🥢. I guess I'll stick to the place from now on🤤

Really overstimulating and mediocre food

The food was great, but the chicken and the pork were very dry. Portions were generous but we had to wait 30 minutes

The quality of the dishes is exquisite with reasonable prices for Scotland. Fast and friendly service. You might have to share a table as the restaurant is small, but this is common in the UK.

Enjoyed our time very much: good tasty authentic food, dishes reasonably priced. Service was very good too. Only dish we didn’t like was the Thai beef salad - recipe nerds improving.

Quite a disappointing meal. We ordered a tofu starter, corn fritters, the vegan soup and pad see ew. The tofu was very sweet and a bit weird in texture. The fritters were very greasy but not that bad. The soup was extremely sweet - like after 3 bites I just couldn't. The pad see ew, well, it just wasn't it. So bland, really nothing to it. It's my go-to dish so I know I'm somewhat critical but it just shouldn't be called pad see ew when you use the wrong noodles, there's no sauciness, umami or smokiness from the wok. I really don't like leaving bad reviews but we both left super disappointed. The staff were very kind and attentive though.

We enjoyed authentic Thai cuisine here. The rice and noodles dishes were tasty, delicious and prepared in authentic Thai style. The service was excellent and we had a memorable lunch.

The long table is quite crowded, but the price is not expensive and the food is large.

The service was really not great, one of the waitresses was really not friendly, not commercial at all and the noodles tasted like they were burnt. She cleared my half-filled plate and didn't even ask us any questions! I don't recommend 👎🏼 Go to Wagamama next door instead ✅

Great place for cheap yummy food in Edinburgh! Got the pad Thai and it was a very generous portion and very flavourful, I can’t speak to its authenticity but it was certainly delicious! Chicken was a little bit dry but it was still very yummy. Chicken wings were really good too. Menu is quite big so I’ll definitely be back to try more! Servers were lovely and very fast! Definitely recommend for a cheaper lunch option in Edi

really cute place and really good food! the staff is nice.

Great food with big portions that taste great for not much money. We had a great time.

On a cold November afternoon, this place offered comfort food. You can sit on the bench and watch the world go by. Recommend Pad Se ew, and curry.

The food takes hours to come and unfortunately can‘t really back up the long waiting-time :/, what a pity

Super delicious food and at a very good price.

Well what needs tk be said other than this place if fabuuuuluuuuuusssssss for food atmosphere and service. Thank you 🙏🏽

The food quality has declined compared to a few years ago. I ordered the Tom Yum soup, which was previously my favorite dish here, but it seemed like I was served the last bits from the pot. It was difficult to eat and didn't taste fresh.

The beef salad was quite good, but the Pad ka prao was seriously lacking umami and authentic ingredients. Bit meh. Staff nice and atmosphere buzzy

Always a great, cosy experience sharing tables with strangers while enjoying the best Pad Thai around!

Amazing experience! As someone that used to live in Thailand, I can confirm that the food is authentic and delicious! I highly recommend eating here.

another amazing place to quick delicious food , couldn't decide what I wanted, so, friendly staff recommended a few... need to come back as I want to try more! all!! ;)

Came just after opening and just about managed to get seats - fully seated already and that’s definitely a testament to how good the food is!! Superb food all around, speedy and polite service - best scran in Edinburgh!

Lunch this afternoon, quick service. The team is friendly and the dishes are very good! They serve a Scottish cider that is worth a try. Small downside, music a little too loud so you have to raise your voice to be understood, but it's part of the atmosphere!

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

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

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.

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

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)

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!"

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

Chicken was a bit dry. Flavor was brilliant

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

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

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

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 ,

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

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!

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.
