Kwan Thai Restaurant in Ipswich
Description
Privilege
Enjoyable meal although not the cheapest. Only one beer on offer at £4.50 for a 330ml bottle which is a bit steep. Food was lovely tho. Had crispy noodles and weeping tiger.
MoreVery consistently good Thai restaurant. I would happily recommend to anyone.
FANTASTIC! Such a great find as our meal (one of the set ones for 2was absolutely superb. Food quality was top class and the service was very good too. Would recommend to anyone who likes Thai food and good hospitality
More2 out of 4 dishes were not good. Sent the noodke dish back as it was mushy and dark brown really not nice. The scallops is special thai sauce wasnt nice either.The starter was nice and the curry was nice but too hot, but thats just personal taste.Also we felt really rushed..... we were advised when hooking for 6.30 that we had to be out by 8.30pm but we had finished and rushed out by 7.30 not a pleasant relaxed meal. One staff started clearing our plates after we had said we hadnt finished! Such a shame as it was my birthday treat and I was really looking forward to it. Not worth the expensive treat of £67 to feel so disappointed
MoreBest Thai restaurant in town !! Great food and staff 👌
By far my favourite Thai restaurant ever! Love this place, the food is amazing.
MoreA quick meal with friends before a football match. Always enjoy Thai food...and this was fantastic. Great friendly service, wonderful menu, great food and great flavours...all beautifully presented. This was everything I had looked for in a Thai restaurant. When back in Ipswich...this is where I will eat.
MoreDelicious food, quick service and reasonable price. Definitely recommend this place for Thai food in Ipswich center.Green Curry with steamed rice was the standout dish for us, tom yum soup wasnt the best we have had. Kwan Thais recommendation for starter was good.
MoreLovely interior and atmosphere, friendly staff. Beautiful food!Always high standard .
MoreJust amazing food in a really nice old building with fantastic service. Chicken Musman Curry was amazing, and the Weeping Tiger is always fantastic. If youve not been, you really must! Cant recommend it highly enough.
MoreGreat, reasonably-priced Tai food. Delicious!
Awesome food, great hosts, friendly venue.
We had a conference at the hotel. While people were presenting the staff were doing the maintenance of the hotel, a huge sound of bottles were heard a few times. The mattress was far to soft, meaning you sank in on the bed, leading to backache. The place is in a great location. Shame lacks quite a lot of management details.
MoreAlways have a great time, wonderful food and lovely atmosphere. The staff are so kind and sweet! Amazing vegan options also!
MoreThe food is excellent, and all made from quality ingredients. Service was great.
Good customer service but the food was so bland and no flavour. The Goong Jien Nam Mun Hoy just tasted like prawn in gravy
MoreProbably the best Thai in the UK Ive been to.Ive been going to the Kwan Thai for well over a decade when Im in Ipswich. Ive tried many Thais through the years, but I always compare them against this one. The food is superb. They really know what theyre doing and do it to a very high standard. The staff are excellent and very attentive. Ive never had to try and get someones attention even when theyve been full to the rafters. Its a small place, so it has a nice cosy feeling. But, because its small it van feel a little claustrophobic for some. The only downside are the tiny loos, but their restricted by space because theyre in a very old historic building.I will definitely be going back.
MoreExcellent food and service. Highly recommended
We all had a great meal. Will come again.
Second time here and absolutely loved it! Delicious food, very quick and friendly service. Welcoming and clean. We can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Lesley and her lovely team.
MoreGreat food. Always a good dining experience. Staff are friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The house red is good too!
MoreWent with a friend and the owner was very gracious enough to accept us as walk ins for a Friday night dinner service.The food was absolutely exquisite and the servers were very friendly. Their Weeping Tiger steak dish is most definitely their highlight. Would absolutely recommend this place!!!
MoreWe went as a family and had set menu k.Wow best Thai food ever.Great staff we will back
MoreExcellent service and friendly staff.Our meals were outstanding.
Delicious Meal and staff were very nice.Had the set menu and was worth it..
Came here for a birthday meal, really lovely staff and excellent food, Ill definitely come back!
MoreAmazing food and brilliant customer service. They make you feel so welcome and the food is ready so quickly.
MoreLovely restaurant...fitted us in at 7pm on a busy Friday. Great food, great service. V highly recommended.
MoreDelicious food and great friendly service.It was a birthday celebration meal and they decorated around the table with balloons and banners. Lovely restaurant.
MoreWent a few years ago on a work trip and it was incredible. Colleague had sizzling beef fillet & I had Beef Massaman (my favourite Thai dishand both were outstanding. Would love to go back but it’s a long drive from Manchester!
MoreWent here last night and it was so good I had to leave a review. It was our first time and we had a set meal for two (G). It was wonderful! We tried so many different items cant wait to go back. Would highly recommend
MoreAs always this is a restaurant that is a joy to visit. A warm and friendly welcome, service that is attentive but not intrusive and food that is, quite simply, superb. Factor in the price (very reasonableand you have a winning combination. Only given 5 stars because I cannot give 6.
MoreExcellent meal, great service. Really tasty food. So pleased we chose to come here again after too long a break since the previous visit.
MoreFantastic food, friendly staff and great service.
The starters were very nice and as expected for a good Thai restaurant. Unfortunately for us though the main courses were all very salty to the point where we didnt want to finish what we ordered. We could have really enjoyed our meal here as the atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was very fast. This was our first trip to the Kwan Thai restaurant and we were a bit disappointed after reading all the good reviews. My advice to chef is lay off on the salt a little and let the other flavours come through.
MoreWent for celebration lunch. Shown straight to a prepared table, attentive staff, recommended the best choice for people who dont set to much about Thai food. Food was delicious and served quickly. Would definitely recommend.
MoreFirst appearances not impressive but the food was excellent! Wonderfully spicy without being ridiculously hoy. Rich, fresh authentic flavours. Very nice, attentive, friendly staff.
MoreNice and spicy. Papaya salad (Som Tamis excellent!! Recomended.Tom Yum Kung is good. Just disappointed with meat... smelled a bit.Nice friendly waiter and good service. I definitely come back here again.
MoreExcellent food and a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended!
MoreDelicious food and fantastic service. We always chose Kwan Thai for special dinners, birthdays, anniversaries etc, and they never disappoint. Set menu H is our favourite!
MoreI have eaten here several times and the food, service and atmosphere have always been exceptional. Super tasty, imaginative dishes served with a friendly smile - what more could you want?However, they have gone above and beyond when it comes to their takeaway service. I had ordered an anniversary meal for my sister and brother in law via Just Eat to arrive at 6pm. The driver never arrived at the restaurant despite marking the order as collected. To make amends for Just Eats terrible service, the lovely staff at Kwan Thai arranged to cook a fresh meal and drop it round to my sister personally within the hour.100% recommend!
MoreIve been there yesterday evening on a date night with my partner and we had the most amazing time! The staff is absolutely brilliant and welcoming and friendly and the food is out of this world! I just cant wait to go back there!! We both had an amazing time over there!!I want to thank all the staff for an absolutely amazing dining experience!10 stars for this beautiful and amazing place!!
MoreGreat little place, super friendly waiters and amazing food to top it off! It wasnt super busy when we went but had a a very relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere.
MoreLovely restaurant, beautiful crafted wood. The staff are very friendly and funny. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Very accommodating for vegans and veggies. Didnt wait long for food. Reasonable price and beautifully fresh and fast cooking.Veggie green Thai curry and prawn cashews dish.Rice, Dont be a cheapo like us. Order two rice sides they are not as large as you think they might be.
MoreLoved it. Word of advice for Thai novices, go for the set menus, you get a good mix of starters and mains. The chilli beef is hot!!We got there for 6pm, a party of 6. Any later than 7.30pm and it starts to get busy. Dont worry though, the service is mega quick and friendly too. We ordered set menu G and K which got us starters and 9 mains. More than enough for 6. Worked out (with a few drinksroughly £24 pp. So very reasonable for one of the most popular restaurants in town. Will definitely return.
MoreWonderful restaurant, food has never dissapointed me and the staff are always friendly, polite and dont just grunt at you. I would recommend this to anyone, and if youre not sure what to have the staff will highly recommend something and are knowledgeable about all of the dishes and ones theyve personally tried and like. We even said to the waiter bring us three dishes, doesnt matter what they are. We were not disappointed.
MoreCame tonight and had the set meal for 2 (G). Was really tasty and VERY generous portions, we left stuffed! Friendly staff, authentic atmosphere and great value for money 😁
MoreAbsolutely amazing. Food was spot on and prices very good. We left so full that we went home to chill out. Highly recommended. We had set meal H.
MoreReally nice truly Thai restaurant, you instantly get a feeling of Thailand the moment you step inside. The staff are very welcoming and kind, especially so if you can speak Thai! The food was amazing, in many different ways. The place is small but it feels cosy, not cramped. We were on a small two person table and didnt feel cramped even with Thai style cuisine. Overall lovely experience.
MoreIt was alright but I wouldnt rave about it. The food was ok although I think wed choose somehing else next time.Polite and friendly staff.
