Really tasty and diverse selection of Thai cuisine bordering on haute-style presentation with ample portion sizes at reasonable prices for any hungry traveler. Gorgeously decorated interior with open-air feeling. Manager and waiting staff were super friendly and accommodating. Very clean bathrooms.

A quick weekend break to Bristol and Bath....and the first time in this "squid"!! Impressive building and very grand and spacious inside. Just as good as the Bristol one. It's a step up from Pho.....especially the prawn crackers....which are out of this world....( and not like plastic ). As was the Massaman Lamb......wow....so tasty!! Loved it all. Service was super too. Quiet to start off with but soon filled up with friends and families....and lovers ❤

Top marks for ambience, cleanliness, fast service.And it's decent food with nice presentation at a fair price. But am afraid that's all our party could commend of the restaurant.It's to be expected that the Asian cuisine will be somewhat less spicy, less authentic as it's adjusted for local tastes but the food doesn't really taste Thai at all! And we know Thai food having lived in Thailand for ten years. We were v disappointed - we did so want a tomyum and massaman curry for lunch - very basic Thai fare that any Bangkok streetside stall can whip up for 20 Baht really but I guess it's too much to ask.Massaman - ok, salty, not authenticSquid - goodChicken wings - taste good but very dryTomyum - avoid, does not taste like tomyum at allMorning glory stirfry - goodSticky rice - goodSo a good place to eat but not if you want authentic Thai food.

We looked on Google maps for vegan friendly restaurants in Bath which were different to burgers etc. We came across here & popped in. We were given a choice of seating & chose a nice window table. The decor is nice and light. The staff were very friendly. For the starter we had the cubed belly pork which was lovely. The vegan starter was the spicy mushroom larb (served cold, very spicy & very tasty, the flavours were WOW). For the mains we had the Lamb shank in a lovely sauce & coconut rice. The vegan main was the Thai green curry & sticky rice, both excellent & packed with so much flavour. For dessert we had the melting chocolate pudding with dairy ice cream & Irish coffee. A gem of a restaurant in the centre of Bath

Amazing food, I love the giggling squid chain, and a different experience at lunchtime to dinner and I recommend doing both.The main restaurant area is large and open with quirky decor, which makes it a little noisy on a very busy service but it adds to the atmosphere.I had the chicken Satay to start with a sharing plate of pork dumplings.For main I had paneang curry for main with sticky rice with sharing plates including chicken pad Thai, charcoal noodles and sticky chicken which was amazing.Don’t take my word for it, take yourself to one of the chain and you will ditto what I’ve said.PS friends had the squid dishes and they said the battered salted squid was amazing to start.⭐️

Very pleasantly surprised. The vegan menu is decent and when you ask for things to be spicy they bring it spicy. Really nice building and the staff are friendly. Only taking one star off as my partners sticky rice wasn't great. Otherwise a good value for money and had a fun night, will definitely be back.

Authenticity isn't the forte of this establishment - pad thai was way too sweet, Chicken wings were dry and over-salted but the squid is worth trying! The squid was tender and had an amazing crunch. They didn't have a few dishes that we wanted to try (Don't know why - have seen other reviewers also complain about this - maybe it's a supply issue). Overall good service, sub-par food but pretty interior.

Our first visit to this chain. An excellent meal, unfortunately all 3 of the courses I wanted were not available however with so much choice they was plenty more to tempt me. We had prawns and moo ping? to start. Prawns were fresh and spicy the pork was tasty. Had lamb shank for main the curry was delicious husband had pork cheek which was tasty but could have been more tender. The Star of the meal for me was the roti, it was so good I could of eaten several more to mop up the masaman. Desert was black sesame ice cream which was truly delicious. Service was wonderful and we felt well looked after. We will definitely visit again at our local branch.

Friendly and polite staff, The starters were good, we had the chicken satay and mixed platter. For the main course meal we had the egg fried rice, jasmine rice, coconut rice, and for curries we had the green Thai curry. Definitely worth a try!
