The Thai Forest in New Forest

Authentic Thai food and great service!! I want to say Thanks to Chef for cooking real Thai taste what i asked for super spicy for drunken noodle and papaya salad. By the way Tom Kha is crazy delicious for my hubby and he would like me share food review for this restaurant

Best Thai in the area! After sampling a few of them, This place comes out on top. Although I feel it could have been a little thicker, the Penang curry was the best I’ve had in a long time! Tiger prawns with lemon grass was also incredible. Well done ! 10/10

Reallllly nice currys! Delicious!Great portions, lovely atmosphere and decor. Great service. Really recommend.

Delicious Thai, what a gem this place is! I’ve eaten at millions of Thai restaurants in the U.K., US and Australia. We ordered the squid entree, Penang curry and Pad Kee Mao. The Penang curry was to die for, a 9/10 I’d say. The Pad Kee Mao was very nice but a bit oily and the vegetables were a bit undercooked - so a 7/10. Squid a 7 out of 10. Overall I’m pretty sure this is the best Thai restaurant in the Southampton area. My only complaint is that the serving sizes are very small, not fit for a hungry man. Staff are kind. Will still probably be back.

Superb meal at the Thai Forest. Staff were excellent. Food was lovely - one of the best meal I've had at a restaurant. Clean plates all round!

We didn't book which I think would have been an issue Fri-Sat, but thankfully on Thurs night there was a free table. The service was quick and the food delicious. I've had my fair share of Thai Red currys and this one was exceptional. The rice was also really light and fluffy, not too stodgy. We also had the sweet and sour pork which was so light and fresh, not like the heavy, overly sweet synthetic kind you get from a cheap jar. The pad thai was also good, but it missed the traditional flavours, had too much soy. Would highly recommend!

Outstanding!! Best Thai restaurant we've been to.

Best Thai food I've had in Britain! Wow. We were very pleased. The service was friendly and fast despite being really busy. The atmosphere was cozy and calming. Every dish was great- even the prawn crackers were nice, coming with a little spicy dip. Duck wrap starters: delicious, full of duck flavour, crispy and surprisingly big. Pineapple fried rice was out of this world scrumptious! Red prawn curry was the right level of spiciness and great flavour. Pad see eew noodles had BIG chunks of chicken and tasty sauce, nice noodles cooked just right, as were the veggies. Portions were generous throughout. We left full and delighted. I've had tons of Thai food over the years including throughout Thailand and this is great nicer-class Thai cooking. Bravo!

Absolutely wonderful, a real gem and so close to The New Forest, I would definitely recommend this and return for another delicious meal! :-)Lovely friendly staff, and food was superb, real Thai cuisine. Car park is just around the corner.We enjoyed prawn toasts, salt and pepper squid and Thai crackers to start.Then a wonderful beef dish (I can't remember the proper menu name!) - with oyster sauce, spring onions, mushrooms and broccoli - which was absolutely delicious!Green Thai curry, perfect flavours, with noodles as a side dish.10/10, thoroughly good meal, thank you :)

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food. We tried 6 dishes and all were very good.
