Udom Thai Restaurant in Southend-on-Sea

So happy I visited this little gem as been searching for a restaurant that serves Tom Yum like in Thailand and was not disappointed! I am from Thailand myself so finding authentic Thai food is not easy to find. Everything was lovely and we were given an above and beyond customer service allowing us to make a special request, making recommendations etc. Just brilliant! P.S if you’re a tea lover, please try the Thai milk tea. Promise you won’t regret.

A really nice lunch, made a bit extra spicy as requested. Thai beer too. Update: now draught beer as well. Further update, dinner too tonight, excellent!

Great Thai restaurant. Food always delivered piping hot.

I was there last night party of 10 really lovely food, great friendly staff made us feel welcome great evening Thank you

If you’re visiting Southend you simply must.

Lovely restaurant, nice & pleasant waitress’s. Delicious food chosen. Staff going above & beyond. Celebrated with a close friend birthday. Would definitely recommend! x

Authentic Thai restaurant in heart of Southend. Easy to park if going in evening as car park opposite is large and free.

The food was amazing! Super tasty, great service and calming atmosphere. Really recommend!

Delicious, nutritious and great value for money! I’d come again

Udom is exquisite! I am truly blown away by the quality and presentation of the food. I travel a lot for a living and always try Thai food everywhere I go because it's my favourite. This is the best I have had in a long time. Thanks Udom! Ps. Really good veggie options for who doesn't eat meat, too.

Service is incredible:) Never experienced more attentive people which makes Thai experience even more realistic . Amazing food! Singha beer on tap… Thank you

Chicken and cashew nuts with coconut rice. Stunning as always.

First time ordering from this restaurant. The red Thai curry was watery, spring rolls had an unpleasant taste (inedible), steak was overcooked, morning glory was bland. Rice and pad Thai were okay, nothing special. Pot of sauce missing. Most of it went in the bin. Very disappointing especially considering the price. Won’t be trying again unfortunately.

We were told initially an hour wait and that was fine. The app updated to say Enjoy your meal, as though it had been delivered. It hadn't. I called the restaurant 5 mins after the due delivery time. They said it was just being cooked and it would be another 20 mins. 30 mins later I called again and they said it was on its way. 15 mins later it arrived. 2 whole hours after I made the order. I got free prawn crackers and no offer of a partial or refund.

Very lovely experience. Fantastic service. Thank you for making our dining out a pleasure.

I like the music that has been playing in the restaurant. It sounded so good! Their food was so yummy!

Lots of choice on the menu and the food was delicious! It was delivered quickly by the friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely recommend

Rushed food purchased chicken Katsu was nothing like the photo tasted very bland went on anniversary very very disappointing Won't be going back.

Great food. Second time here and just as good if not better than the first time we came

Very friendly, welcoming staff that make you want to come back. Great range of food, all of which we have tried has been delicious.

Driver marked as delivered when it wasn't. I has started the process to claim money back when it arrived. Ordered 16.08, arrived 17.45. One of the dishes was stone cold.

Very nice atmosphere, great service, very friendly staff and lovely food.

Overpriced and underwhelming and also cold

Absolutely lovely spot for lunch or dinner (we stopped for lunch). The set menu was perfect. Staff is lovely and helpful.

Order didn't arrive at all - terrible service

It's really been a long wait... Go in at six o'clock The main meal comes after about seven o'clock Everything has to wait... Also, packing boxes costs money...

Outstanding! I was crying when eating my food .. it was THAT good! ❤️

The server was amazing she was so funny.

Amazing! Such amazing food and beautiful atmosphere. The hostess was hilarious and made our experience so enjoyable. We will definately come back here

I'm a regular customer at the restaurant but it's great that the take away quality is no less! Piping hot and absolutely delicious!!

Why are drivers not bringing the food in the heat protected bags! All apps are allowing drivers to bring cold food to customers and not excepting responsibility and put it on the poor restaurants when they need to control their drivers!

Fantastic menu and the food was genuine Thai flavours. Really really tasty. And to top it all the service was outstanding, especially Siri. Great front of house with just the right level of attention without being overbearing. Fantastic dinner. I enjoyed very much.

Second time we have eaten here. The food is amazing the hospitality is just as good. Will be back next month!!

Had some incredibly delicious and fresh thai food at Udom Thai in Southend. Excellent experience. If you ask, the chef can prepare some authentic thai gluten-free options which are super heavenly in taste. I had lemongrass tea (caffeine-free) followed by Papaya salad, chicken Pad Thai, which was silky smooth thai noodles and unbelievable flavour. For main I shared a rich and creamy fragrant beef Massaman curry, (made with coconut milk), jasmine rice, and super cleansing Stir-Fried Morning Glory with garlic, chilli, and smokey flavour. (without the oyster sauce or soy). Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic Thai flavours. The service was equally fantastic—special thanks to Siri, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everything was gluten-free and perfectly suited to my taste buds! Cosy atmosphere and friendly vibes. Recommended for anyone that loves authentic thai food!

Great atmosphere and amazing food and drink, warm and cosy inside

I enjoyed my pad thai and mango juice it was a lovely lunch. Has a good atmosphere. I would eat here again

The blandest pad Thai ever. Almost like they just threw some noodles and boiled chicken together and forgot any seasoning.

All I can say is yum yum, very welcoming, lovely staff, food fresh and tasty

Had massoman curry and jasmine rice. Absolutely fab!

It is a really good Thai restaurant.

Foods are great, service is good, waitresses are helpful. We had an enjoyable time here.

Excellent service with nice food. The staff is fantastically nice and the atmosphere is amazingly good. Food is great with lots of options and served hot. The mango sticky rice is surprisingly good. Will recommend it to my friends too.

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch whilst in town. We’d never been to Udom before, but the menu in the window looked appealing, so we thought we’d give it a go. We ordered a wonton noodle soup and a fried pork dish, as well as two sweet iced teas. Everything was absolutely incredible! The wonton soup was fresh, vibrant and so delicious. The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, and were more than happy to help with any requests or questions we may have had. We absolutely will be returning here, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Beautiful food, the best Thai I've ever had and can't wait to come back again.

Visited twice this month for lunch fantastic place great service tasty food great prices

Soggy tempura and watery massaman.

Not been here for years, always gave it 5 stars when it first opened, food was great and still is, albeit small portions, service was miserable, no warm welcome, was given the wrong dish and was told it’s the same as the one on the Menu, when it was clearly not inc the Photo !!, so that didn’t go down to well with me, shame as the food was very good No good bye either, not the Thai style of service you would normally get no real urgency to go back, not the way to do it if you want repeat business and survive.

Ok restaurant experience was good, so that prompted us to order in last night. Very disappointed. The portions were very small, making the meal expensive, including having to pay for delivary plus a bag fee, unreal. The meal was so spicy hot we could only eat one of the dishes and I ended up with a major bad stomach all night because I hate wasting food, especially expensive as it was and tried eating it. Unfortunately we will not order again. Such a shame as I love Thai food so very sad. Additionally with most delivered meals the establishment usually throws in a little something extra not on the order, like poppadoms/ prawn crackers as a good will gesture, this place offered no sure thing. It is in the little things.

We find this restaurant randomly from Google map and I'm glad that we entered a good place. I talked to the staff and noted that they're all from Thailand. And their customer service is really good. The 2 person set meal is amazing and the price is reasonable (£45). We can't finish the whole meal and have to finish the rest the day after. If I visit Southend again, I will come again and try other Thai food!

Best Thai food experience ever.. Be it Food.. Service or ambience.. Everything was just perfect.. Would Highly recommend.. there are limited vegetarian options but everything was so delicious.. Our non-vegetarian friends too loved their food. All the ladies managing the place were very welcoming and took care of everything to the point. Would love to go again. ❤️

Very pleasant & really enjoyed this food.

Really disappointed with the meal this evening. Sadly it was stone cold on arrival and the quality and flavour just was not there this evening. Really poor when usually it is brilliant. Did not hit the spot

Food was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful Would definitely go again

Delicious food! After hearing that we had to take the train, they had food ready for us in ten minutes. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience the authentic taste of Thailand

Very authentic Thai food, staffs are friendly as well. Highly recommend!

I had the kuay tiew (beef soup) with a pot of pandan tea, absolutely delicious Thai milk tea for dessert

Excellent meal, fully recommend.

Amazing meal. The food is absolutely wonderful. Service is incredibly friendly and attentive. Even the house wine is delicious. Best restaurant in Southend.

Amazing food especially the spring rolls they are soo delicious somthing to bring you back here every time 😁

We went tonight after reading the reviews on here as we are on holiday and not sure where to eat out. We had a lovely meal, the service was excellent and staff friendly. The restaurant was clean and quite busy.

Generally always good at Udom but the platter is overpriced for what you get.

After searching for a restaurant in Southend came across udom and I must say best choice I ever made. Amazing food, friendly staff ....

I've been to Udom Restaurant more than five times, and they consistently deliver exceptional quality. As an Asian living in the West, I often crave authentic flavors, and Udom perfectly satisfies that longing.

Wonton soup was not at all good.

We had amazing lunch today! Pad Thai was delicious and the surprise was on the Mango Sticky Rice as dessert! Mango was sooo sweet and even we were full and we still being amazed! And the service from Ms. Bow was professional and she was so nice to us! Worth to go!

Excellent food in Southend - mixture of tasty, spicy and good range of options.

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered as just had knee surgery and can't drive. My tom yum with prawns had 4 prawns and a load of mushrooms-that was it. I have lived in Thailand and the taste was anything but authentic-to be honest it was awful. My penang was so just liquid. At first I actually mistook it for my soup. Again the taste was anything but authentic. I requested it extra spicy and I could barely taste the spice. On the phone I was told it was £23.15 including delivery, (I even repeated that back to the lady in Thai), when it was delivered the cost was £25.15. I have to say the worst Thai meal I have ever eaten.

Freshly prepared food, very tasty and great service! I've been coming here for about 5 years and never had a bad meal. Favourite restaurant in Southend, hands down!

The restaurant has a nice vibe and staff are very friendly. I had the beef salad, it was really nice, only downside is its incredibly spicy. I can handle spice but this would blow your socks off 🙈😂 please put a warning on the menu 🙏🏽 otherwise really enjoyable

Had a really lovely meal here yesterday, arrived early, so it wasn't busy. We shared the starter platter for 2 which was delicious and accompanied with 3 dipping sauces. the main courses were equally as good. I had the stir fried prawn with chilli and thia basil, which had plenty of prawns, was well balanced with a bit of a punch. My companion had the prawn green curry with Jasmine rice, which he said was extremely good. Staff were very pleasant and attentive. This place was a great little find, will definitely be returning.

Went here today and was very satisfied with everything you would expect from a great thai restaurant 10/10. Thank you

very poor food, soggy tempura and the curry sauce was just oil and fat, had to throw it away 🙁

Great authentic Thai experience! Staff is very friendly and food is delicious

A lovely nerving as always. Staff are amazing. Food is TOO good!! Can’t fault anything!!

Amazing service and the tastiest Thai food in Southend

Probably one of the best Thai restaurants I had in the UK, very authentic and food cooked to perfection. Do keep in mind most of their meat dishes are quite spicy. Highly recommend the Thai milk tea, refreshing and not overly sweet. Also very friendly and caring service. Approved. Food ordered: Pad See Ew with beef Tom Yam soup with chicken (mushrooms come by default) Thai milk tea (this is goated)

Had to wait 40 minutes for food and icl i get hungry

Great Thai place probably the best in Southend. The food was so tasty and the service and friendliness was top class. Highly recommend this place the food was absolutely delicious!! We had pad Thai, red duck curry, soft shell crab and black bean chicken.

Wonderful Resturant. Superb food came today with family. We always use to order online. This is our regular eat out from now.

First time writing a review ever because I loved the food sooo much. I had spicy yum talay and it was hands down the best! The freshness of the spices and seafood is just perfect. Would totally recommend to people who love seafood and can take spice. Service was fast and friendly:)

Amazing food and lovely service, would recommend to everyone!

Chicken Pad Thai was awful. No taste to it. Like each ingredient had been pre cooked and then thrown together. To describe as bland would be a compliment. Red curry and rice was nice.

Lovely restaurant, good customer service. Thank you for our meal

A pleasant admosphere with calm asian songs playing in background. Value for money and delicious food 😊 Polite staffs

Lovely tasty food for our lunchtime meal. Great service too

Good Food ,ordered Tom yum soup 🍲 and Noodles,Service is good and staff is very polite

Delicious food, very authentic Thai taste. Papaya salad with crab and fermented fish The basil and beef noodles are very delicious. I recommend it for people who miss authentic Thai food. The price is not too expensive. The best original Thai food. I recommend fried basil, beef noodle and somtum. It’s not expensive but good quality and delicious. If you find some original Thai food, I recommend this restaurant.

Honestly, this thai restaurant is wayyy better than the one in westcliff. You can taste the difference. Excellent service and the food is amazing!

We booked last minute on a Saturday night for 3 people. Restaurant had been recommended by our Thai friends. We arrived and were greeted and seated quickly and menus left. We were checked on and staff let us decide when we were ready for ordering and receiving food, they were very attentive, despite the restaurant being very busy. It had a lovely atmosphere. The food was amazing, having recently returned from Thailand, we were expecting authentic! We had the mixed starter for 2 plus salt and pepper prawns which were cooked to perfection. For mains, we had duck in tamarind sauce (very tender) , chicken and prawn green currues, vegetable pad thai , sticky rice and a papaya salad. We will definitely go again, it’s the best we’ve tried locally, thank you, lovely unexpected gem in the town.

Been eating here for years, amazing food and staff couldn’t be friendlier!

Best Thai food, great service ❤️

Really nice Thai food. So many thai alternatives. I definitely back again.

Been coming here for quite some time. Good variety of food to choose from (vegetarian and non vegetarian). I ordered way more than what's for one person. Friendly helpful staff. they helped me to pack away the leftovers to take home

My favourite restaurant when visiting Southend. So much variety and always made fresh!

Excellent food with set meal planned and blended to give a combination of diverse flavours and textures which went together so well. Quantities just right to give a feeling of satiety. Staff welcoming and service both friendly and efficient.

Was such a let down ribs had no taste portions were tiny and drink was out of date very poor

Didn’t enjoy my expensive take away. The Pad Thai was too greasy and the prawns were tasteless. The Paneng Curry was too oily and watery. Fish cakes were tasteless and greasy and the sticky rice was hard, yellowing and too sticky.

Wonderful. We traveled from London and ended up here for lunch; although we didn't have a booing, they were kind enough to accommodate us. We had a big lunch for 2, and it was perfect. Every dish was done carefully and tasted like being in Thailand. Will be back

Always superb. Best Thai in town!
