Thai Restaurant Manchester - reader comments

"Had
a wonderful meal, everyone was happy with
their food. The staff are incredibly polite
and explained things to us. Everything was made freshly and
you could tell by the flavours and smells. For a city centre
restaurant I thought the price was very good
and was excellent value for money. Definitely
one of the best restaurants in Manchester we will
certanly return (hopefully soon)."

asked for the chilli seeds to be taken out of a Thai salad
I had ordered and it arrived full of chilli seeds! The waitress
wasn't happy to have to change it and was quite grumpy
when I pointed out the problem. The rest of the food
was nice but the ribs went cold very quickly on the
table. Maybe if the plate was warm they wouldn't have done
so."

"My
husband and I had a very enjoyable meal.
We had the mixed starter to share that was delicious. I had
the crab dish, Kah Pad Pou that was good. It had crab claws,
which I wasn't expecting, I assumed the crab would be shredded
into the rice. Certainly different, however
the rice dish was very bland, so I would try something else
next time. My husband's however was delicious, he had the
Pad Prik Sod, (Word of warning - try to avoid eating too many
chilli peppers, they are very hot!) We finished off the meal
by sharing some Deep Fried Coconut Ice Cream that was unusual,
tasty and definitely a sharing dish. The restaurant and bar
have a great ambience. You do have to reserve
a table in advance. The staff were very polite and
professional, just lacked a little friendliness.
I would recommend you try this restaurant; there is a huge
choice on the menu, which makes you want to go back again
to try something new."

came to Manchester for our 3rd year wedding anniversary and
wanted a treat. We choose this restaurant after reading Restaurants
Of Manchester and we were not disappointed.
First time we've had Thai and loved it, but
with having 3 children don't normally endulge in such fine
food. Thanks."

| "The
evening we went was that of the Police concert. The bill
presented was something like £78, and should have been
£52. I never look at receipts, but my wife
looked and noticed that they had charged for a Lobster Main
course, the most expensive option on the menu. They did not
apologise, just changed the bill. I would say that I am more
the suspicious of this mischarge, mainly because they took
the error so much in their stride. Just readjusting the bill
to the correct amount. I would have thought that at the very
least they would have not charged for my wife's meal. I don't
know what is normal practice, in this situation, but can't
say I felt they cared about the error."

| "I
visited on Saturday night, we were booked to eat in the downstairs
Bar/Restaurant as I booked the table a little late, but when
we arrived the girl at the door managed to get us a table
upstairs which was very nice as it was for my birthday. The
food was fantasic and the atmosphere was
really nice, this is definitely one of the
best restaurants in Manchester."

| "Our
second visit and just as good as we remembered. Food
is delicious, service is excellent,
atmosphere relaxed and drinks prices
reasonable. On this occasion they went out of their
way to find us a table as we had been badly let down by another
restaurant and it was my birthday. Highly recommended."

| "It
really was brilliant, a last minute dinner
decision and they accommodated our booking at 5.30 pm! I chose
this restaurant because it was No. 1 on your best Manchester
restaurants list and it didn't disappoint! The atmosphere
was great, the food was authentic,
music volume was just right and we thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves. We'll be back again soon."

| "Wonderful
greeting as we walked into the place, and very quickly
our drinks orders were taken. My partner and I decided on
a set menu (£25 a head), and, having read excellent
reviews on here, were expecting great things. We were not
disappointed. The starters were excellent,
a good range, and fantastic flavours.
We had a soup with our meal, and I have never been a fan of
these, but loved every spoonful. My fiance
has lived in the Far East for a while, and so there were high
expectations set from the start. The main courses
were amazing. We were so full that we couldn't finish
the food. We had the Coconut Rice on recommendation from several
reviewers from this website and weren't disappointed. The
Coconut Ice Cream dessert was a fantastic finish to the evening.
A veritable mountain of ice-cream! We shared it between the
two of us. The bill was very reasonable,
and the service was great, very attentive
and helpful staff. Definately recommended and will most definately
be going back there very soon."

| "The
service at the restaurant was very good and
the waiters were very attentive, the only slight problem was
the delay in our plates being taken away. However I think
this was because me and my boyfriend were too full to finish
everything so they weren't sure if we were finished! The restaurant
is very nicely decorated and has a good
atmosphere as does the bar downstairs. I wasn't overly
happy at first with the position of the table we were sat
at but it was nonetheless a good night. I personally wouldn't
choose to go there myself as I'm not a huge fan of Thai food
but my boyfriend is already planning his next visit! If you
do go make sure to try the Coconut Rice it's lovely."

too."

| "Very
pleasant atmosphere and plenty of room. Unusual
tables downstairs make it different. Very
friendly staff and very good food.
We had a banquette and the food just kept on coming. Overall
very good value for money and I'll be back."

| "First
time me and husband have had a Thai meal and the waitress
helped us with ordering and choosing food - she did a very
good job of this and the food was delicious.
We were recommended a rice dish which is wrapped in banana
leaf and this was the best ever. Sure will be returning again
in the very near future."
