Description

The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, with delicious mains like duck salad and fish with three different sauces. The venue can be quite busy, especially on a Saturday night, but the atmosphere is great with a handy wine list. The Betel leaves and pork belly dishes are must-tries, and the desserts, like sticky rice pudding, are very good. While there were some delays in service, the overall experience was enjoyable, making it a place worth returning to. Despite some mixed reviews, many customers have praised the innovative and exciting Thai cuisine, with standout dishes like the Handmade Chicken Curry Puff and Twice Cooked Pork Belly. The restaurant's extensive menu, great service, and lovely ambience make it a standout choice for a night out. Overall, the restaurant seems to have found a balance between creativity, delicious food, and excellent service that keeps customers coming back.

Great to visit for the first time since the change in ownership, and find all of our favourite menu items still delivered at the highest quality. The only issue I had was the fact they closed up very early on a Saturday night and we were sort of moved on from the venue. It was only 9pm and we would have stayed for more drinks and dessert.

Chon Thai was Innovative, exciting and delicious. This was one of the rare moments where you’re legitimately surprised by a meal. Everything was almost perfectly balanced and the service was great. 94 100. Parking: Parking near the pub up the road is your best bet.
