Khobkhun Thai - Forest Heath

We had a meal out with the four of us and decided on Khobkhun. Excellent choice. The restaurant looks authentic, the service is very friendly and the food is authentic and excellent at the same time. The plate of mixed starters was good, the curries and stir fries as mains were great with the dessert of nun banana and banana fritter also not disappointing. That all washed down with a Singha and a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. An excellent evening out.

Been here a few times recently with friends. There are two Thai restaurants in Newmarket but this one feels more authentic food wise. Always have a great meal here, the food is delicious and the service is great.

Takeaway. This used to be our go to Thai. Never again will I order. Food was absolutely vile. And tiny portions to boot. For the price you would be better ordering from McDonalds. The tempura veg wasn’t tempura. Thick gloopy oil sodden batter to try and bulk out the rather pitiful veg that was hidden. The ribs were full of fat and inedible. Looked boiled then griddled last minute. The prawn toasts were ok. But for over £7. No. All the starters are no longer in containers. Now delivered in foil lined bags. So the starters sweat in their own grease. Nice. Needed 10 minutes in the oven on a rack just to render the grease out. Dipping sauce pots were 1/4 full. The beef stir fry Pad gra pao was also awful. God knows what beef this was as it was completely inedible. Sauce was ok if slightly oily. Panang prawns was ok. Predominant taste was coconut milk. 6 medium size prawns for £13.25? No. Total rip off. We ordered some separate plain noodles. 1/3 of container full. Dry as a bone. £4.70? I’ve no idea what’s happened to this restaurant. It was the best in Newmarket. Obviously under new direction and trying to recoup lost Covid pounds. Such a shame. My advice is avoid at all costs. Don’t waste your hard earned money. 1/10.

I visited this restaurant on my own as I was in town for business. The food was ok nothing wowed me but it was nice. The service was quick. The wine was not nice. I left it!

Ordered take away 12 people picked up meals only half mile away, got meal home one dish short and told them said they would deliver it. Half an hour later phoned to ask how much longer it would be said there would find out after another ten minutes still no news, rang to say we pick it up. Picked it up and ask if they compensate for one of guest missing their meal reluctantly their agreed. Everybody makes mistakes but then try their hardest to make up for it but no here.
