Thai



West Malling, widely considered the gastro-capital of the Maidstone area, offers a wide range of restaurants and Pad Thai is it’s finest South East Asian offering, tempting in diners from across the South East. One of the reasons could be the combination of olde worlde Tudor building and traditionally inviting Thai inspired décor, another could be the warm welcome and excellent service but undoubtedly the main draw would be the unsurpassed food. Created by a team with a history serving the Thai Royal family, the traditional dishes are authentic and delicious, made with excellent, fresh ingredients.

    Amazing food, amazing service, amazing staff and great if you have any allergies. Great for all. I am gluten free (have coeliac disease) and they made sure everything I eat was safe. Best Thai restaurant I have even been to. Food was cooked fresh to order and the atmosphere was great. Small restaurant but huge on everything else.

    The Valentines set menu was STUNNING. It's been a long time since I've eaten Thai food this good since I was last there. A great selection of menus to choose from which allowed me to try some dishes that I perhaps wouldn't have usually. The Pak Faidang (with vegetables actually from Thailand) was sensational. Never quite enjoyed a vegetable side dish as much. The owner even came around to every table and explained every dish, what best to eat with what and offered any changes or substitutions that we wanted (which we didn't). Every dish is made fresh and by hand, even down to the dipping sauces, and you can tell! The service was lovely, everyone friendly and bubbly. Considering this was our first time here I can honestly say I can't wait to go back.

    Not the best Thai we have visited Food quite tasty but not huge portions for the money. Starters and desserts pricey for size. Visited for lunch so only 3 tables filled so not great ambiance and quite chilly.

    The food was very good, service also good but drink far too expensive, 2 glasses of wine £20.00! Spoilt the evening. Was initially seated near the toilets entrance, asked to move and was kindly reseated.

    Early evening meal so it was only us there. The food was freshly prepared and piping hot. The owner explained some of the flavours to us and how they make a lot of the sauces and pastes which was nice to know. We will definitely be back and look forward to it.

    We live in Ashford but come to this restaurant because the food is so delicious. The service is always good and we are treated warmly by the owner and Rachel who normally serves us. We have eaten at other Thai restaurants before but this by far is one of the best. The portions are not huge, they are just right, which is good because you can pretty much eat everything you order and not waste any and you don't feel bloated. What sets Pad Thai apart from other places is all the sauces are freshly made in house. They do not use jarred products. The sauces for the starters such as the peanut sauce and the chili sauce are all home made. Pad Thai never fails to deliver in good quality food and very good service.

    Hi We can after seeing good reviews , The owners were very loud . When they were taking peoples orders over the phone . One young waitress , the poor soul was told off in front of us for pressing the wrong button on the computer. Food was nice but was ruined by the owner telling us in which order to it eat ! Not to mix the flavours . Another couple walked out because they don’t cater for vegans .

    A long wait to order food and forgotten drinks order meant we asked to only pay half the added 10% gratuity. It was not busy at all. The owner became rude and aggressive towards us so we didn’t feel that we could even mention the food wasn’t that great and the portions seemed small for the price. We won’t be going back here ever again. Shocking way to treat customers!
