Thai Up At The Quay - Tendring

Some of the best Thai dishes we've enjoyed in the UK. Highly recommended, it's popular, so book if you can.

We had a wonderful time, our server Pat was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious and plentiful. The ambiance was relaxing and just right. My wife had a very memorable evening. Would recommend to anyone.

We booked this restaurant for my daughter “Chloe’s” birthday treat… The restaurant was stunning with a calming ambience, just like the Thai restaurants we visited on our holiday to Thailand a couple of years back. The staff were very friendly welcoming, the food was amazing… we had starters… salt pepper squid, tempura prawns this was my choice my goodness it was tantalisingly good!! Prawn toast chicken satay… most of the mains were red curry’s a doggy bag of left overs for my daughter to take home (which she forgot to pick up as we left) she was gutted when we got home!! Thank you for an amazing celebratory meal we will definitely be returning!!

I don’t think this place needs my support with another review but I will leave one anyway as a thank you. I come from here and so on a local revisit recently I was surprised to hear of a Thai which I’d never known about before. Meant to be notoriously hard to get in but the owner was exceptionally accommodating to fit us in around childcare complications we had which was most appreciated. The decor and environment is very warm and cosy and the staff attentive. It’s wonderful hearing the owner’s banter with the locals which adds to the feeling of a generous and popular enterprise. The food exquisite. All tastes very fresh sweet chilli sauce unlike any I’ve had before and meat quality was delicious. Portions generous plenty of coconut rice to soak up the amazing sauce. A word of advice it packs a punch and is reasonably spicy so be prepared if you are only used to mild curries! Really wonderful meal would encourage all and anyone to try if they can get a table !

Third visit to this lovely restaurant, as always wonderful friendly service, host very welcoming and food exceptional.
