Amazing family run restaurant. The food is cooked with care and love. Good portion size and so tasty. We had the mixed starter served with 4 dipping sauces (the plum one was particularly delicious), a Chicken Penang and Coconut Curry with Chicken. Everything was beautifully cooked and tasted wonderful. Do leave space for the ice cream or sorbet. The sticky coconut rice with mango sorbet and a shot of mango rum was a real treat. Reasonably priced and great service. Well worth a visit.

We spent our quick anniversary dinner celebration in Taste of Thai. We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was remarkable—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Beyond the amazing cuisine, the owner truly made the evening special with warm, engaging entertainment that added such a personal touch. What meant the most to us was how they went the extra mile to help celebrate our anniversary, making us feel genuinely valued and cared for. It turned a great meal into an unforgettable memory. Highly recommended!

Great little place and will definitely be visiting again. If you like Thai food you will enjoy here. The mixed platter starter is a popular dish and all our mains were really tasty.

Delightful place for good Thai food, particularly if you're craving for some spiciness. We had the pad kra pau, red curry prawn, papaya salad thai style and garlic chicken wings. Spice levels were ramped up at our request. All dishes were delicious. The friendly owners added to the pleasant experience.

Great food and great service. We had the mixed shared starter which came out perfectly cooked and tasted beautiful with the individual dipping sauces. Penang curry and jasmine rice and pad Thai noodles were amazing. Also the cheapest wine by the glass we have had in Seaton. Very recommended.

Following a very warm and inviting welcome by the friendly staff, who were always happy to elaborate on any of the meals, we got to have a veritable feast of excellent variety and quality. Paired with a great selection of wines and beers, the evening finished with Gelato Labs ice cream. Can't recommend this family run business more. Thank you and anytime again.

What a great restaurant the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. I asked if the chef could make a really spicy prawn dish and I was not disappointed, I’m not sure what it was. We also had veggie spring rolls to start and a vegetable coconut curry and jasmine rice as our other main dish. I can really recommend this delightful Thai restaurant. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and keep up the good work.
