Thaikhun Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was good as it always is."
• "Plenty of delicious choices, even for someone (me) who isn't usually a huge fan of Thai cuisine."
• "Ordered fried rice, pad thai, chicken satay and they were all yummy."
• "The chicken was packed with a refreshing minty flavour and my friend said the noodles were the best she’d ever had."
• "Food was absolutely delicious! I would recommend plant based chicken pad Thai (truly tasted as chicken) and vegan dumplings with tofu and vegetables - soooo tasty!"
• "Red Thai curry extremely tasty and not too hot."
• "The food tasted delicious!"

Cons:

• "The portion size for the mains could be better."
• "For someone who likes less salt on their dish, I found the lack of salt on the starters and main somewhat underwhelming."
• "The pad-thai was slightly too sweet for my taste."
• "All our dishes appeared to be missing at least a few of the ingredients listed on the menu."
• "The food was not hot (why do I need to wait for 2 hours for cold food?), and to be honest pretty tasteless."
• "It was £8 for a salad that turned out to be basically just lettuce and strong red onion."
• "The curry was very watery."

Service

Pros:

• "Aliyah was our server and she was great 👍. Really knowledgeable and helpful."
• "Service was also excellent. Thank you!"
• "Service takes a while but definitely worth it."
• "Staff are friendly too."
• "Staff are also very friendly and chatty!"
• "Very kind patient service, also our leftovers were beautifully boxed with cutlery and extra peanuts and chilly without us even asking!"
• "We received fantastic service and hospitality from Igor!"

Cons:

• "The kitchen took its time to prep meals for us."
• "Service was pretty slow for what seemed like a relatively empty restaurant."
• "Great food and drinks, but super slow service."
• "We booked a cooking masterclass for 10am and are still standing outside the locked doors 30mins later and nobody has come to collect us."
• "They did get my order a bit wrong but soon changed it for me."
• "The exact same thing happened a few weeks ago (the class didn't happen because none of the staff turned up)."
• "We waited for what felt like 45 minutes for our food, our starter was forgotten and not put on the order."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "For 2 starters, 2 mains and a bottle of wine the price was just under £55 which was great value."
• "Tom yam kung was particularly good (although spicy!)."
• "Thaikhun is one of the places we love to go back as the food is amazing and we just love the place it looks very authentic."
• "All in all fresh, fragrant and good value for money."
• "Additionally, the food options were great! The price was OK for the quality."
• "The food is not only delicious but also very good value too."
• "For Cambridge the pricing is also very competitive."

Cons:

• "Wouldn’t recommend it as a cheap meal if you are very hungry and looking to eat until you are full as two drinks, two appetizers, and two mains resulted in a near £50 bill."
• "I spent 40 pounds, and have binned all of it."
• "The price is unbelievable is so high I don't recommend this restaurant to anybody."
• "The food is more bland (salvaged by the fish sauce and chilli by the side!) and they're stingy with non-carbs portions."
• "No one mentioned student discount during ordering, serving or paying."
• "The pricing is really bad. 3 pounds for a small portion of rice is not acceptable."
• "The jasmine rice side order which must be purchased separate from the curry for £4 pounds, was a very small portion."
