The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Thai food

Felt welcomed as soon as I came in through the door. Great food and service

Return here again and again. The food is incredible and the setting, just by the quay is unlike anywhere else in Southampton.

Great place, been to pour me multiple times. Me and my son popped down for a drink and some food. Food was delicious and the beer is even better

CASH ONLY but a-mazing! Delicious. Fresh made when you order. Pride in their craft is apparent. Great service as well. Get the full meal, you won't regret it! Skip the chips; this is Thai people!

Superb restaurant- staff excellent and food delicious - got food quickly and great portions - we will definitely be returning - thank you

Chilli B at Mackie Mayor served up a full plate of fragrant and delicious Chicken Pad Thai Heaven…. I was blown away by how good this dish was….. will definitely be back for more !

Nusara stands out as a posh haven of Thai cuisine in the area, offering a more refined take than the other Thai restaurants in Poole. The attention to detail is evident across the menu, elevating classic dishes to something a bit more polished without sacrificing authenticity. We sampled the Pad Thai, Green Curry, and Crispy Beef, and each dish delivered on both flavour and presentation. The Pad Thai came with just the right balance of tang and sweetness, the noodles perfectly cooked with a delightful bite. The Green Curry was rich and aromatic, its coconut base carrying a deep warmth that didn’t overwhelm the delicate spices. The Crispy Beef, with its subtle crunch, was a standout, adding a satisfying texture to the meal. While it’s a bit pricier than some of the more casual options nearby, Nusara justifies it with quality ingredients and well-executed dishes. For a more elevated Thai dining experience, it’s a solid choice.

This is such a gem in town. Yesterday I had the beef massaman curry - delicious and rich with a generous amount of melt-in-the-mouth beef - and the spring rolls, which were the tastiest spring rolls I’ve ever had. And because they also do English breakfasts etc, I could have it with a cuppa! This is also great if you have a group with people wanting different things for food - there’s a good varied choice of Thai dishes (curries, noodles etc) and classic breakfast choices. A great spot, lovely folks running it, and it’s super cute dining under the bamboo awning in the market.

By far the best Thai food iv tried and staff are really friendly

Fresh tasty food would defo go again

delicious food, the papaya salad was nice and spicy, chicken basil stir-fry had lots of deep flavours, town dumplings were morish. hpwe will definitely order again.

If you are looking for authentic Thai food or something close, don’t go to the Thai Rack. The food is disappointing, as is the service. Simply too busy to pay attention. Everything is over sauced and heavily laden with sugar and salt. We were told that rather than serve authentic cuisine, they cook for the local palette. That’s understood. They are catering to the market. But to be told that we, as customers, should request authentic Thai food is problematic. Surely the onus is on the restaurant to offer both as does another Thai venue in Royston? This restaurant has clearly found its niche that is to trot out British style Thai dishes for locals. So if that’s not for you, please don’t bother and if you’ve travelled in Asia then stay well away. The sweet and sour chicken was drowning in sauce: more a soup than a stir fry. The chicken was thickly cut; a basic mistake on a good stir fry. When I poured the stir fry liquid onto an empty plate to show how much sauce they had served, then asked if they would eat all that liquid, the response was ‘no’. So why would they expect a customer to stomach this? The dish tasted more Chinese than Thai. Just chicken drowning in too sweet and too salty a sauce. Also the colour was a high red. Perhaps artificial? The vegetables were limp due to too much fluid. The rice was plentiful and moist but lacked any flavour. The crab tasted musty. The pork belly was over cooked, as if reheated. No crisp on the belly fat, where any fat could be found. The fat had more of a stretchy consistency than a crispy one. The pork itself was hard, and dry. Clearly overcooked. Perhaps reheated in a microwave? The colour was off too. The papaya salad rather than fresh and fragrant was also over sauced and limp. The same sauce as used on the soft shell crab starter, but diluted down. Again, super sweet. No bite to the vegetables. No standard citrus, lemon grass or chilli notes, more glutinous sugary and salty soupy sauces. Apparently, made this way for us locals. Customer service was embarrassingly poor. No one asked how our food was once we started to eat. Admittedly, the venue became more busy. But there was no interest there aside from banging out the order and leaving you to it. We asked 12 times for the bill, which they didn’t want to provide. However, the conversation about the whole experience was very much one of excuses, and had a sickly, patronising whiff of ‘you’re trying to run a number on us’. We paid in full, of course. We wanted to pay. We insisted. Having asked over and over for the bill, it was left for us to walk up to the bar and insist to pay again and again. At the bar, we were greeted with more excuses and contradictions as to why the food was so disappointing. It’s not about making payment or not, it’s about the restaurant taking on feedback and treating the customer with respect. It was very much about them; their excuses and ‘guilt’ (as they said) about the food, rather than about truly listening for improvement or to grow the customer base. Please provide a positive, respectable dining experience than tell me you feel guilt. If you love authentic Thai food, you’ll likely know where to go in Cambridge. This experience is for people who like heaps of food on the plate that heavily tastes of sugar and salt. No notes. No flavour. No fragrance. It was essentially a high class ready meal. We ate well less than half of the dishes. Just gave up. This is the third time eating with the Thai Rack in three years as each experience to date has been a farce. We’ve always paid in full and tried to give it a go because we want to support our local venues. But no more to the Thai Rack, and refusing to pay is simply to let them off the hook as they can convince themselves it’s a con rather than genuine customer feedback. They don’t care. That was the sentiment and clear by the response and behaviour. Then again, they have a niche but it’s not for diners who seek authenticity, or at least balanced flavourful cooking. No star rating. Thanks

I really enjoyed my food i would recomend to anyone that likes authentic flavours

This hidden gem cafe is an absolute delight! Best food and drink I’ve eaten in Watford for years. Everything is freshly made, and the menu is varied between hot and cold, small bites to bigger meals. Best hot chocolate ever, actually tasted like chocolate. The staff are friendly, polite and efficient. Basically a wonderful place to eat if you like fresh quality good food, and the cakes are amazing too.

Food is lovely but be careful if you order online. They cancelled my order and said it would be refunded but it wasn't and had to dispute through my bank. 2 months I've been chasing!
