Good cheap Thai food in Putney

Advantages: Cheap, great food, great service
Disadvantages: No alcohol available to buy (but you can BYOB), cash only

...This 'cafe' is a tiny restaurant about two minutes from East Putney tube station in London and is a real little gem, offering fabulously fresh food for very good prices. If you are ever in the area and enjoy Thai food, it really is worth a visit. Location 1 Keswick Broadway Upper Richmond Road London SW15 2RB Tel: 020 8874 5096 As you come out of East Putney tube station, turn right down Upper Richmond Road, walk past the Somerfields, cross the road and there is a small collection of businesses (including a taxi service) which includes the restaurant. The number 37 and 337 buses also pass right outside and can be caught from Clapham Junction. Opening hours These are perhaps not standard, so it is worthwhile checking in advance. It is open every evening from 6pm-10pm. From Monday to Friday, it is open for lunch from...

Thai food in Edinburgh

Advantages: Excellent food and service
Disadvantages: Need to book

...On a recent trip to Edinburgh, I fancied some Thai food for some reason and we were lucky enough to find this place very close to the castle. My experience of Thai food in this country has generally not been all that good, but I'm pleased to say this was an exception. The food was very fresh and tasty and the service was excellent. Location The restaurant can be found just off the top of the Royal Mile on Johnston Terrace, where it apparently moved in 2005 from another location. It is about 2 minutes walk from the castle and is also conveniently close to theatres. Address: 5A Johnston Terrace Edinburgh EH1 2PW Tel: 0131 225 6633 Website: www.thaiorchid.uk/com Decor Having been re-established on this site in 2005, there wasn't really much of an excuse for poor decoration, and it really didn't disappoint. The front...

Review of Thai Orchid Edinburgh

Maybe the best Thai food comes from Malaysians

Advantages: Fantastic food in a pretty little town
Disadvantages: Service can be a bit too quick and it's a bit on the dear side

...I love Thai food but it's not the easiest cuisine to track down outside of the big cities and tends to be ridiculously expensive if it's any good. The nearest good restaurant to us which offers good Thai food is the Thai Garden in Rothwell. My husband and I have been many times and I've also taken business guests there - especially ones from India, Sri Lanka and China who like things a little less 'bland' than your average hotel food. Where is it? ********** Rothwell is a small historic market town in Northamptonshire. You can find it easily - it's just off the A14 about half way between Market Harborough and Kettering. 'At last' you may be thinking 'a possible reason to stop on a mind numbing stretch of the A14'. I don't know the junction numbers (in fact, I think the A14 is a little lax in its numbering) but if you leave at the A6...

Review of Thai Garden Restaurant, Rothwell, Northants

Thai Siam - "Siam the One and Only!"

Advantages: Tasty, fresh tasting food. Superb service.
Disadvantages: Slightly out of the city centre

..., polystyrene-like Chinese takeaway crackers ? they were darker, crisper and actually smelled and tasted of prawn. We made short work of them, while we perused the extensive menu. The choice is absolutely bamboozling ? an excellent selection of seafood and vegetarian dishes, noodles, soups, salads, curries, stir fries and sizzling dishes. It was thirsty work deciding what to eat so we ordered an imported Singha beer each. These were perfectly chilled, brought to our table in the bottles and poured for us. We are not terribly au fait with Thai food, so we decided to order one of the set Banquet meals in order to sample a couple of different dishes. The plate of starters was positively groaning. HUGE Goong Tempura (prawns), delicate Poh Pia Gai (chicken spring rolls), tender spicy chicken wings, tasty Gra Dook...

Review of Thai Siam, Glasgow

An expensive Thai-me

Advantages: Good service, nice surroundings
Disadvantages: Far too expensive for the food

...only in the restaurant for 45 minutes (again, admittedly due to our being late and completely our fault) but again, still! What really annoyed me was that none of the meals came with rice or noodles and you had to order these separately at the cost of £2.50 each. To be honest, the food was nice, but it wasn?t £50 nice. It was standard Thai food and nothing particularly stood out as being better than you would get in a Thai chain. I often go to a really nice Thai restaurant in Bath and it?s a lot cheaper and they serve rice or noodles with the dishes that should come with them as standard (like curry). The restaurant?s toilets were very clean and were generally nice. The service in the restaurant was really good. They were very attentive. The waitress that brought our starter explained what everything was. When a waiter brought...

Review of Thai House Restaurant, Cardiff

Top Thai cuisine in downtown Vancouver

Advantages: Excellent food, excellent service, excellent prices
Disadvantages: It's a ten hour flight away

...the staff smiled us on our way, giving a great feeling of wellbeing after being fed and attended to in a first class manner. CONCLUSION An excellent example of the high culinary standards and value for money that we came to expect in Vancouver. Highly recommended for the tasty food, excellent service and convivial ambience. There is certainly a fair variety to the menu too, which should cater for most Asian tastes. The price of just under $35 (about £18) was quite frankly a bargain given the quantity and quality. CONTACT INFORMATION Sala Thai (Burrard), 102-888 Burrard Vancouver, British Columbia. V6Z 1X9.

Review of Sala Thai, Vancouver

Go Thai

Advantages: Good Legroom, Decent Food, Good Service
Disadvantages: Poor choice of entertainment options in Economy

...On my last trip to Bangkok I took a seat upon a British Airways flight, the experience wasn't a good one and I swore I wouldn't use them again for this kind of long haul flight unless it was absolutely necessary. This time around I picked Thai Airways, a brief search on the net came back with some favourable opinions on the airline and the price was comparable considering it was a direct flight. Yes I could have saved a few quid by going non-direct but the money you'd save is not worth the hassle of waiting around. The people of Thailand are a peaceful and courteous bunch that make you wish that we had similar respect for other human beings in this country. This is reflected in their airline. Check in on the flight was smooth and an enquiry about baggage was greeted with an honest reply. 20kg for each passenger but you could get...

Review of Thai Airways International - THA

Excellent vegetarian Thai but avoid the mixed starters

Advantages: Good main courses, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Awful starters, small tables.

...I am a creature of habit and one of those habits says that whenever there's an opportunity for a celebration, it's an excuse for Thai food. My birthday this year was a bit of a sad occasion because my much-loved and very elderly cat had been put to sleep the night before and I wasn't really in the mood for a lot of fuss. But rather than stay home and feel sad, we searched the internet to find a new Thai restaurant to try out. Having a birthday on a Monday was a bit restrictive as many places aren't open so I checked to make sure before we set off to Lac Thai in Crewe. It came highly recommended from all the websites that I'd tried ? perhaps surprisingly so, given that it's not exactly in a town that's dripping with attractions. Crewe is a railway town ? famously sung about in an old Music Hall number (does anyone know, was it...

~~~~~~Thai It Tonight~~~~~~

Advantages: Very Tasty, Free From Artificial Flavours, Colours & Preservatives
Disadvantages: Not Suitable For Those With A Nut Allergy

...Prices of this product added 08/11/07, Being a fan of all things spicy, I was delighted to receive a free sample of Sharwoods Thai Red Curry Paste with my monthly subscription of Fresh Magazine this month. The sample contained 50g of Thai red curry paste, enough it said to make a curry for 2 to 3 people with the addition of a few simple ingredients. Friday night in our house is usually "Curry Night", either homemade or from the local Indian takeaway. This week it was "Make It Ones Self"- I say that like that because it is usually me that does the making !!. The pale green coloured cardboard sleeve that protected the clear plastic sachet of paste, boasts that this Thai Red Curry Paste is made using fresh ingredients such as lemongrass, garlic and chillies, typically Thai I thought. Having a change from our usual Indian...

Review of Sharwoods Thai Red Curry Paste

Have a bite of Thai.

Advantages: Tasty.different.Perfect for many occassions.
Disadvantages: price. Moreish (therefore don't last!)

...All good things come in light and small packages. This is what I've found in these revolutionary snack bites. A few saturdays ago the family and I were invited to lunch with friends. After a delicious pasta followed by fruit and cream,Julie the wife of our host brought out a very interesting alternative to biscuts and cheese to finish off. There,nestling in a plastic 100g tray,were these Thai bites in oriental spice flavour with a platter of assorted cheeses. She had two flavours to choose from;the sea weed and the oriental spice. Both were delicious and we promptly devoured the entire two trays between the 7 of us,despite being full up with the previous courses. So,I vowed next time I was in Tesco's I'd buy them. WHAT ARE THEY? Thai bites-written in black oriental writing they're put simply...
