The best restaurants serving Asian food in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

Visited in July and again at the end of September. Had the curry box and the wife had the Buddha box Both times a really good mix of flavours in each . Will definitely be back next time we are down in Cornwall

Ordered for the first time from Sawai Thai last night and overall was very impressed with the quality, quantity and value of food on offer. We bought 2x Chicken jasmine rice dishes and a portion of chips to share. The order came to £25 including a can of coke and although £2.50 for a can is pretty steep the overall cost of everything I think is reasonable given location and quality. We headed over to Pentire Headland a couple minutes up the road to catch a beautiful sunset and enjoy some lovely food. The fried rice was beautiful and sticky but not stodgy. The chicken was fresh, moist, tasty and plentiful. There was a decent amount of veg and the meal felt healthier than most takeaway. The Chips at £4.50 were okay. Presumably generic frozen chips. Portion size was fair for sharing with another dish. Weren't awful but probably wouldn't order again. Also no vinegar available. Also to note on the picture there is 1 very salty chip.. I put my own salt on this wasn't done by the cooks. The main dishes however were so good yesterday I'm coming back later today to try some other dishes and hopefully catching another stunning sunset over Crantock/Fistral! Also to note staff were nice and friendly. Based on my first experience I'd rate it a solid 8.5/10. Will update this review after I've tried some more food tonight. UPDATED REVIEW... So I did return the day after as it was so good and this time I wanted to try some noodle dishes and also wanted to try some other meats. I ordered Pork Pad Mee Korat which was a spicy rice noodle dish with pork and was absolutely delicious! It was fairly spicy with a decent kick but not overwhelming. The missus ordered Chicken Pad Thai which again was rice noodles and chicken in a more mild sauce which was also fantastic. I also wanted to try the beef so we ordered the same jasmine fried rice dish as the previous day but with beef instead of chicken. Again the rice dish was lovely just as I had already experienced and the beef was super moist and tasty. Having tried the chicken and beef I would suggest the chicken works better in that specific dish. Another minor point as I had with the chips on the previous visit, the spring rolls were not the best. Like the chips they weren't terrible but not value for money. For £6 you get a portion of 4 spring rolls which in fairness taste nice enough but they're not the biggest and not particularly well filled. I'd say they were about 75% batter. TO SUMMARISE My overall experience from 2 back to back visits is some genuinely fantastic Thai cooking. Rice dishes and noodle dishes are equally brilliant and the beef, chicken and pork I've tried were all delicious and generously portioned. A couple of minor points for the chips and spring rolls which are not so great and also on the expensive side but the main dishes are piping hot, rammed with protein and absolutely full of fresh ingredients and flavour offering affordable quality takeout great value for money. Overall I'd give this a 9 out of 10 based on 2 visits and I can see this becoming my regular food spot in Newquay. I'm excited to get creative and try more dishes I've never thought of ordering. Absolutely brilliant place.

Satay Chicken & Peanut sauce was amazing, and the texture too. The Pad Thai noodles were great portions and green curry was delicious. The ladies there were lovely and kind too.

We booked a table at the last minute and were glad we did the food was delicious and authentic and very good value for money. we had a mix of starters, tofu tord, satay chicken and spring rolls then Pad Thai for mains a meat one and a veggie one

A hidden gem. Don't be fooled by the location. We had to double back on our journey from Hayle back to Torpoint, and it was a revelation. Although we only had an early evening pitstop of mixed starters a salad and stir fry. It was all really fresh and tasty. Washed down of course with Singha... We will be back for a more detailed review. Thank you

Not for locals—overpriced, pretentious, and serving tiny portions.

Delivery was good food brilliant as normal

Food exceptional and matched by the service. Few tables so you will need to book well in advance. Ample parking. I enjoyed my visit here more than other meals taken in Rock and Padstow.

Absolutely amazing food and friendly service. Expect a short wait as food is all cooked fresh but definitely worth the wait.

You have to try Talay Thai Kitchen when in St Ives! We have been back every year whilst on holiday and it is always amazing. With fabulous views, lovely staff and great food. The masaman curry takes me back to my travels in Thailand!

Yummy food, we ordered Pad Thai, green curry was yummy. Service was good. Get busy so book table Food was good we would recommend if you like Thai

Food was great as always and the service too. I wish tho that the menu online was the same in the restaurant. I wanted the sweet chilli noodles which was advertised online for lunch but when we got there it wasn’t on the menu. Wobbly tables too but nothing to put me off returning

My sister qnd family have lived nearby for over 20 years. We have had many excellent take aways, when I have been staying with her. This was thr first time for me, to eat in. Phenomenal. The food was as good as ever. Th3n, the table service and welcoming atmosphere took things to the next level. I will be back

Amazing restaurant, great range of dishes and Vegetarian, the staff are super friendly. The food out of this world, average prices, nice atmosphere, well worth a visit. One of my current favourites. The portions are large, you will go home full, fit to burst.

Forgot to add that the £44 meal was for 3 hungry people
