Thai Garden - Bristol, City of

This is a lovely place, it's not super smart but the food is great and the staff lovely. They only take cash but there is a Tesco directly opposite with a cash point. Also BYO

We LOVE this place and have been coming for years. We have a takeout from here once a week. It’s not a fancy place but has good authentic Thai food that’s always reliably tasty.

My boyfriend and I booked a table for 7:30pm on Saturday evening and were seated in the window surrounded by an alcove of lovely indoor plants. We were glad we booked as we overheard people being turned away without a reservation as we were ordering, and the tiny restaurant was full of people. I ordered the pork and prawn dumplings to start, followed by the pad thai noodles which were both absolutely gorgeous. My boyfriend was really pleased with his meal too. A great bonus is that the restaurant is BYOB meaning we saved a fortune on our usual overall bill when eating out. We popped to the Tesco Express opposite to get cash out (as it's cash only here! and picked up a bottle of wine to have with our meal. Our two starters and two main courses came to just over £30, which is incredible value in Bristol at the moment. We really love our Asian food, particularly Thai food, and having dined out at various chain and independent places, we both commented how delicious it was, and how much we'd like to return. Staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, and even gave me two pairs of chopsticks to take home with me! Thanks for having us Thai Garden!

My partner and I recently moved near here and we’ve been scoping out some fun new local spots the past few weeks..This place seemed to always be packed so we assumed something good was happening inside and decided to check it out for ourselves—and I’m so glad we did! Without a booking we managed to get a table on a Friday evening, which we weren’t completely expecting. Once sat our waitress Sai offered some amazing suggestions for starters; the spicy Thai beef salad (steak was seasoned incredibly well and the dressing is both delicious and truly spicy and the minced prawn/pork dumplings which were so good—will be reordering both. For entrees we had the BBQ duck with sticky rice and a prawn pad Thai which were delicious. If you go, we’ve also heard great things (and Sai confirmed this that the drunken noodle is very good and I’ll be looking to update this review as soon as I can confirm ; Overall our experience at Thai Garden was a fabulous one. Everyone inside was lovely, the staff and also the other customers…which is a weird thing to comment on I realize but you get a real sense being here that most people who come in are regulars and it makes the whole experience just a bit more warm. Can’t wait to go back

Service was prompt and friendly, the food was very tasty with generous portion sizes. There are lots of veggie options and because it's BYOB it works out very reasonably priced. The lemongrass steamed mussels were especially delicious. Only drawback is that it's cash only, but there is an ATM 1 minute away.
