The best restaurants serving Asian food in South West

I have eaten in many of Torquays eateries and was so impressed with our meals at this one. Staff vere very friendly,i took my children for lunch here, a teenage vegetarian and a fussy little one. We all chose noodle bowls, thai chicken, tofu and salt and pepper, and everyone enjoyed their choice,and our bowls were scraped clean (no mean feat with my kids!) Gorgeous ground coffee and really reasonably priced. Cannot recommend enough. This is our new favourite venue. Very very nice food! Just wish it was open at night too.

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.

Possibly the best hash I've ever had, lovely staff and place.

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

Great place on the beach, only had a hot drink but great after a long walk, apparently the curry's are fantastic but unfortunately we've missed out as it's its last day of opening. After wait till next year

Lovely evening, well prepared and tasty cuisine. We look forward to going again

We have been going to Mona's for a couple of years now and it is still as fantastic now, if not better than our very first visit. The 2 ladies in charge are fabulous in the way they take care of you. It is a simple menu but the food is absolutely delicious! We say that if you are ever in Weymouth then Mona's must be on your list.

Awesome yummy food, pulled port wrap... really appreciate 🙏

Great food here today. I had a red curry with tofu, and we also ordered tofu jungle curry and rice noodles. Flavours and spiciness were perfect. Thank you for such a flavoursome meal.

Second trip to Bournemouth and I couldn’t wait to come back to The Coconut Tree. The Bottomless food and drink for £45 for two hours was perfect for me. I can devour Sri Lankan food so meant I could get a great variety. Food was perfect, authentic and the cocktails lush too. Thank you to CK, David, Luki and Gowthami for fantastic service and being so welcoming. Hopefully I’ll be back for another visit soon ✌🏼🇱🇰🦁

Really nice place to enjoy a curry. Food is very good and staff are great. Special mention to Taz who made our visit very enjoyable.

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.

Los mejores chinos, y he probado la mayoría. La comida sabe encantadora y lo mejor para mí fue que la carne de chile crujiente era crujiente, la mayoría de los lugares es simplemente masticable. El arroz frito Singapur lleno de carnes y buen chile picante. Nuevos propietarios... por favor, mantengan la buena comida y el servicio, se lo digo a todos. El repartidor es encantador.

Este lugar es joya escondida. Comida increíble y tan acogedor. No puedo esperar a volver. El ambiente es fantástico y la comida es para morirse!
