Tom Yum Thai Kitchen in Amber Valley

Quirky place. You can easily get lost finding your way back from the toilets. Felt a bit awkward because we didn't have a reservation midweek, but we had a table after 5 minutes wait. The food was excellent. The prawn crackers and dip starter was massive. The Thai green curry and sticky rice was very nice, as was the stir fry chicken with ginger etc. Service was good. Recommended.

Early evening meal didn't have to book

This was probably some of the best Thai food we have ever had. We had the set menu for 2 and it was all lovely. Would definitely recommend and would 100% go back next time we are in the area.

Been meaning to come here for ages, really wish I had made the effort! Food and service is first class

We went for an "early doors" meal for my birthday on a Saturday in August. It was our first visit...and certainly won't be our last. Excellent friendly service, lovely food and a good location made for a nice early evening...and a nice touch too of the staff to present me with a little cake with a candle in it. Thank you all for making it a nice evening for us. See you again. Geoff and Shirley 😊

Only one lady taking orders and doing drinks so service slow but very friendly and food delicious.

Great place for thai food with lovely, friendly staff and amazing for vegans. Highly recommend this restaurant.

The meal I had was nice , the waitress was pleasant, however determining which dishes are vegan was a bit of a chore it wasn't obvious as to what was vegan or could be made vegan from the menu .the restaurant itself was nicely maintained and we enjoyed the history on the way to the toilets .

Lovely quaint place with great food and service.

Had a gorgeous meal here, starters and main. The meat on the honey soy ribs just fell off the bone and the massaman beef curry was the best I've ever had! Definitely recommend.

Nice food and great service. First time I have been to this area and it’s not the most obvious place to find in the dark, driving in from the A6. Staff very friendly - will definitely go back again.

Good quality food cooked well . Plenty of choice . Interesting location. Parking available.

We had the veggie sharing menu (but veganised it) Very good flavour, good portions, nice staff 😀

beautiful vegan food, lovely staff ♥️

Came here for the first time a couple of weeks ago, unique location with superb service and excellent authentic Thai food...we will be back.

Excellent, as always the go to Thai.

Lovely food and amazing atmosphere 👌 highly recommend

Great food, intimate atmosphere

Authentic Thai food, well presented and amazing flavours, our favourite restaurant

Delicious, authentic Thai food in an unusual location.

Good was really good, we had salmon, pad thai and a beef curry. While the salmon was quite bland, the beef curry (chefs special) was lovley, with so much flavour. Service could have been better, as the staff weren't overly attentive for things like ordering and drinks. Will definitely be going back in the future

Flavours you would expect, wine that suits the food, staff that are very polite, attentive and available. Very unique well worth a visit. If I was local I would go again.

Great food and fantastic service. Very good menu. Just something not quite right about the weird location but others love it. I would agree best Thai in area.

Such a lovely place, in a really interesting building (worth a trip to the toilets to have a mini adventure!) Staff were lovely and the food was great; we went for the wide choice of veggie and vegan options and were not disappointed. I've never eaten rice or cashew nuts on a plate with a fork before but that's my only tiny negative!

Went for the first time this week and had a lovely time. Waitress was polite, efficient and attentive and without that annoying "are you enjoying your meal" question just when you've taken a mouthful. There is no need for that question anyway, it's all delicious, fresh and, well, perfect! The journey to the loo might be tricky if you're unsteady on your feet and the tables aren't too sexy but they don't wobble, so they are forgiven! We had the set menu and every single item was on point. Thanks!! We'll be back.

Great little restaurant with very friendly staff. The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. Not the easiest place to find but well worth it when you do. They have Thai wine which was a first for me.

As an Asian, we can confirm their dishes are very delicious, real thai taste. Specially the tomyum soup there was not taste like a from instant paste - best in town!

Tommys yummy thai restaurant..only Thai in belper and it’s nice. Great service and set within an old mill (nice and cool on a sunny day) 🍛 🇹🇭 😃 🍜 😋 🌶️

Lovely food, service, we always go back to Tom Yum.

Very interesting restaurant in the old mill, the journey to the toilet takes you through a labyrinth of mill corridors and the car park in next to the mill race. The food was good and the portions generous, slightly cheaper rice would be better!

We dropped in on the off chance and the staff asked us to wait a moment and 3 minutes later they had put tables together and proceed to seat us and served a wonderful meal.

Would love to do 4.5 stars but highly recommended, great meal!

We had an amazing family meal here on Saturday night for a 21st birthday celebration. The menu is excellent and the food amazing . Nothing was too much trouble and really organised from start to finish ..I didnt order birthday banners but we had those up and a family pic taken x would recommend to all and will be back thankyou x

One of my favourite restaurant buildings. And the food is scrummy, the staff friendly and polite and the wine is good

Our second time here and we loved it. Food is incredible, staff are lovely and there are so many veggie and vegan options. I also really appreciate how well the menu is laid out with allergen information. We will definitely be back!

Absolute favorite place to eat, ever!

Fantastic, authentic and delicious Thai food, a warm welcome from friendly, efficient staff, spotlessly clean, a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and very reasonable prices ☆☆☆☆☆

Went out with Liz to this fabulous Thai restaurant. The food was excellent. Great service. We had the sharing Thai starter. For main Liz had seabass in a light batter and I had pork tenderloin, all the food was so taste.

Huge thank you to the staff at Tom Yum Thai Kitchen for providing a very large takeaway order for a group of 18 people, our order was ready on time and everybody loved the food. Fantastic food and friendly staff, I highly recommend.

If I was only allowed one word for this review, it would be OK. Not a lot of personality in the service but it was efficient. The food was tasty but expensive. We were sat on comfortable chairs but looking around, the furniture is mixed and rather dated, some looks like it should be in a cafe and some an office rather than a restaurant. We are not rushing to return, would we eat there again if someone else paid?.....yes.

Absolutely delicious meal in the atmospheric setting of the old belper mill

Best Thai I have had so far in the UK this was my 3rd visit and never disappointed

1st time here, great service and fabulous food, beef massaman was amazing.

Excellent extremely high quality beautiful food with authentic flavours! Delicious great value meal that I would highly recommend!

Had Chicken Pad Thai, good portion and good service.

Fabulous food Fabulous setting Fabulous service

Fitted us in at late notice on a Friday night, great food and friendly service in a fascinating location in the cellars of an old mill/warehouse.

Lovely and lively place with excellent food

Fantastic food with excellent service. Staff was very friendly. Definitely I will go again.

Excellent food, nice atmosphere, lovely staff.

Lovely restaurant excellent food and service.

Fabulous food lovely resturant staff were fantastic. Definitely reccomend

Interesting restaurant situated in the vaults of an old mill. Attractively decorated. The staff are friendly and the food is really tasty. Definitely worth visiting.

I took my girlfriend to Tom Yum for her birthday meal. Really lovely venue, great atmosphere, very attentive service, delicious food and most importantly one happy birthday girl ❤️

Amazing food. Amazing service. Ordered from the vegan selection on several occasions. Perfect everytime. Would highly recommend this restaurant. 10/10. Thank you.

Not the worst meal I've had but not the best, a decent night out, drinks can be expensive. Just good enough for a return visit.

Very good, food delicious, lovely staff, wud recommend!

Firstly the service is great can’t fault that. However this is the worst quality Thai food I’ve ever had. The platter for two vegetarian tempura was full of grease. Other Thai I’ve had tempura is light no grease oil. Spring rolls were heavy greasy hardly any filling. Fried tofu was so oily. My past Thai experience I’ve had a few, has all been good, it’s light healthy freshly cooked, not this heavy oily thick battered greasy stuff. Mains, massaman curry, too much chilli used on mine and my friends, I had vegan tofu he had beef. The flavour was not great. My tofu was so greasy again not pleasant. I couldn’t finish mine at all. If it’s good I can easily finish a dish and want more. I’ve had great massaman in a Thai chain in Spain and that was full of flavour minimal chilli, taste the coconut and cashews, but Tom yum all you got was heat from chilli on both. The roti was just pure fried grease, I couldn’t touch that it didn’t even look nice. Also when we got home my friends stomach wasn’t good and he was sick that night and bad the next day also. It was definitely this meal that caused him to be ill. My stomach hasn’t been great either from the greasy food the following day. So I don’t know where all these great reviews come from as this is the worst Thai food I’ve ever had. The best so far was a Thai place in a village in wales and in a Thai chain in puerto banus Spain, also many years ago a Thai takeaway van at craft show outdoor, her spring rolls were light covered in broccoli flower batter, so light full of vegetables, delicious, no grease from frying at all. You’ve put my friend of trying Thai food now, with him being bad for a night and day. If only the food matched the service. We should of complained more about the grease.

Just been for a lovely meal at Tom Yum Thai Kitchen. As usual it is amazing. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is excellent. Such a beautiful place to be. Its a "feelgood" place and so uplifting. Many thanks to all. See you soon...

Excellent, food, service and attention to detail

Lovely food very nice staff, and very interesting building

Not as good value for money as it used to be.

Exceptional and authentic Thai taste. Efficient and friendly service. An absolute MUST if in this area!!

We enjoyed a lovely meal at this unpretentious restaurant close to the River Garden in Belper. There were very few clients dining in, but several take-away orders being served. Service was friendly and efficient. We chose the set menu and enjoyed the best tasting Thai food (bar none, including in Thailand) we've ever had at a very reasonable price. My only regret is that we don't live in the area so we could visit more often.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service

Absolutely gorgeous food, and lovely little restaurant. Went to a posh Thai in Nottingham a few weeks ago. This was so much better. Please support them cos they really deserve it!

Absolutely superb. We've not visited before but we loved it. Service was excellent and food lovely. Great venue really nicely done out with parking right outside.

Nice atmosphere. The food is overpriced at least by 30% and I wouldn’t rate the taste of the food as exceptional to justify the price. I have had better take aways at a cheaper price. I wouldn’t recommend anyone going unless you are ready to spend a fortune there.

Nice friendly restaurant set in the mill at belper. Good selection of food and wines. Jungle curry was very nice with sticky rice!

All made be a bit sad. Super tender beef and duck, genuinely friendly staff, nice setting... And I live too far to eat hear regularly 😔. Pure luck that we were passing through and found this place and it's some of the best Thai I've tasted in a good while. Shame it's 3 hours from home or I'd be eating here regularly

Excellent food and service. Will definitely return when we are in the area again.

Superb place yo go and eat, You are in the museum when you walk through to the bathroom, Amazing, Would recommend and also go again

This place is great; the food was lovely last night, the service friendly, relaxed and practiced, the decor managing to generate a feeling of intimacy despite them having an almost full house. The menu is clearly marked for food allergies and preferences, and a separate full vegetarian menu is provided. The house white is tasty too. Internet booking straight forward and the Covid measures fine. If you like Thai I'd give it a go.

Beautiful food. Always a warm welcome. Very attentive staff. My favourite place to eat out.

Delicious food, great service in fantastic atmospheric setting

Lovely staff, delicious high quality food and a very interesting location. We loved it and would highly recommend!

Wonderful service, a little pricey but a great experience..

Amazing food and friendly experience! Decore is perfect and a lovely environment

Although we visited this place 3 years ago my wife and I think this place deserves a special mention. On arrival we were greeted by ladies dressed in pretty traditional garb who were extremely courteous and charming. For starters we had filou pastry parcels with diced chicken and tempura tiger prawns with delicious dips. For the main course we both had braised beef massaman curry accompanied by coconut rice and jasmine rice. It was only the third time we had experienced Thai food and again found it delicious and beautifully fragranced. We commend the food, attentive service and ambience and would not hesitate in returning there were we to holiday again in Derbyshire.

Saw all the reviews and thought we would try this place out. Nice setting and nice decor although furniture and table linens a bit cheap for a restaurant with this decor. But that didn’t bother us as we were looking forward to the food, and what a disappointment. The poorest quality of meat I have ever tasted, had a weird taste like it was off. I’m no chef but this meat was either boiled and just added to dishes just to get customers in and out of the restaurant quickly. The prices are also really expensive for the quality of food which personally I have had better from a local Chinese takeaway and ate at home...wasn’t expecting that standard from a restaurant. I asked the waitress nicely as to why the meat tasted as it did and the reply was we’ve been doing the same thing for 5 years and had no complaints. Overall bad experience and was charged way over the odds for a sub standard meal. A very unhappy family.

Love this place, the food is fantastic and the staff are always very welcoming and helpful.

Brilliant food every time we love it!

What a hidden gem, had a beautiful authentic Thai meal here, stunning restaurant, lovely atmosphere and great service. Would recommend

Had a great night with great food and fantastic service It's a pleasure to dine out at Tom Yum, you are guaranteed a very warm welcome from all the staff and nothing is to much trouble for them to give you a pleasant experience .Would highly recommend to friends and family.

This little gem of a Thai restaurant was put of the world, and the decor was fab

Friendly staff and big portions of lovely food

Wonderful food, relaxing atmosphere, brilliant service and beautiful decor.

Amazing food. So good for people with alleges or dietary requirements. Stunning building too.

Unreal. The best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand.

Exquisite meal in lovely surroundings with very friendly staff

A very nice thai restaurant hidden within the mill buildings. Lovely food and service.

Lovely cosy Thai restaurant with excellent food. Lots of vegan options. Always a pleasure to dine here.

The waitresses are so friendly and the food is excellent. There is now a new menu.

Fantastic food, service was brilliant and made a great start to a night out

Absolutely amazing great service and incredible food!!

A group of friends tried out this place before one friend brought her mum for a 70th birthday meal. Just wonderful. Friendly welcoming staff, excellent service, superb cuisine, lovely setting and reasonably priced. Definitely want to return.

Fantastic place, really attentive staff. Food was top notch

Lovely Thai place. Fantastic service and fantastic food

While it is very unfortunate for owners and staff at the restaurant that the place has been so seriously flooded I fully understand it is completely out of their control, but couldn't anyone have found the time to inform people that had pre booked? I booked back on october 9th for November 8th you had my phone number and email address and you knew it was for a birthday meal. We drove all the way from Hatton near Burton on Trent on friday night to find the place under about four feet of water. A simple phone call or email and we could have booked somewhere else. However, I do wish the owners all the best in renovating and repairing the restaurant and getting their staff back to work as soon as possible, and I will book again and hopefully reveiw the wonderful food I have heard so much about. But for now, this was poor communication on the restaurants part.

Authentic and original Thai food, great service with friendly staff and a really atmospheric location. Highly recommend!
