Jintana Thai Restaurant, Ambleside in South Lakeland

I ordered a spicy salad. It came out flavourless - they had not put any spices on. I returned it and it came back with just a handful of raw chilli's dumped on top. Worst Thai salad I have ever eaten. I ordered a pint of beer that appeared to have lime cordial or sprite in when it arrived?? My partner ordered a gaeng for her main -she got a Penang. The Penang looked identical to the red curry I had ordered I think the red was just a Penang with the coconut milk watered down?? The Penang was ok to be fair, the red was again rubbish. The staff were polite and the restaurant is nice but the menu and reality do not match up. The menu is misleading it is so extensive yet they don't have the basics nailed down. A waste of £65 IMHO

Delicious!! Enjoyed a steamed Mince prawn starter between us followed by seabass, salmon in red curry with rice & noodles. The flavours were superb.

A-grade fod. Friendly, attentive staff - they even overlooked the fact me Mrs took it upon herself to lob half her (delicious) chicken massaman curry all over the table. Would recommend. Managed to blag an extra chocco mint at the end for me mam. Top drawer.

If You would like to taste the real, authentic Thai cuisine that's the place to be. Very friendly staff who's happy to help U choose the right food. Very good vibe with relaxing oriental music. Lot of thai decorations (even tuk-tuk the metropolitan way of transport haha) Tropical and oriental dishes - I highly recommend the soups even if there are bit small portioned but it's real spicy taste. Easy to find - central part of Ambleside. From drinks menu - wines, drinks and beers (also draughts) 👌

Delicious food. Good portions. Friendly service. Best Thai food I have ever eaten. Amazing flavours. Hope to visit again if in the area.

Not a great experience, not very good food and definitely overpriced for what we did receive. I dont particularly want to leave a negative review but hopefully the owners will sort this out. Without going into too much detail the benchmark for our dinner experience was the mussel starter (Hoi Op) which sounded delicious but when it came out it consisted of 4 mussels (yes four) in a small bowl of thai soup... £8.50. Ths restaurant was definitely under staffed which is understandable but maybe it's time to reduce the menu size and focus on quality over quantity.

By far the most authentic Thai restaurant I have visited in the UK. From the prawn Tom yum soup to the crackers, fish cakes, red Thai curry and gaeng ba moo it was incredible. Also, they never turned anyone away even after their closing time which is a lifesaver when many places were shut.

The food tasted absolutely amazing! There was a bit of a wait for food (we booked an 8:30pm table on a Sunday), but when the food arrived it was hot and super flavourful! Their Tom Kha Gui was particularly yummy as it was spicy and tasted more lemon-grassy than I’m used to (avid Thai food lover over here). Wishing they had a location closer to London. Highly recommend their Jintana starter dish too!

Excellent atmosphere very friendly staff. All staff wear masks. I had chicken skewers and my wife had crab cakes for starters. For mains we had mussaman lamb curry and sweet and sour stirfried prawns. The food was very good. Will be going back in the future

We had the early bird special deal which was great value for money. This place gets busy so booking is advised. The main food was a bit bland, we are used to it having a bit more of a kick to the spice but it just didn't have it. Starters were lovely though. We skipped desert but had some nice options on the menu.
