   I only meet my circle of friends once or twice a year. We love thai food! And we chose giggling squid for our little christmas lunch/dinner. Reservation is very easy to do online. Great atmosphere, very instagrammable!! We really love the food and great job for the staff (Santa) who gave us an excellent service! She was very polite, friendly and patient. She definitely deserve a reward! I also was surprised of the takeaway bag, it was very nice. I have never seen such a beautiful takeaway bag that doesnt look like one x Thank you for making our experience memorable! Happy Christmas to all the staff!

   What a gift! We had decided to come here, however, we saw the beautiful setting through the window and thought “oh let’s go in here! “ and how wonderful it was the Giggling Squid! The food took me right back to Thailand! Thank you so much! The best birthday ever! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

   I was with a group of 6. Lovely setting and had a good vibe. The food was amazing just a shame that service was so poor by our waitress. The head waiter made up for this though was chatting and attentive, otherwise i would of scored one star and he was only reason we paid service charge.

   Had the best experience at The Giggling Squid in Bath for my husbands birthday. The food was 1st class. So tasty and all staff were very pleasant. Great value for money and the decor was stunning. Will definitely be visiting again.

   Visited for the first time this week while away celebrating wife’s birthday. Main restaurant wasn’t busy but they had a party of 50 downstairs. Despite this it was amazing. From being greeted by friendly guy at the door who I assume was the manager to the different staff who took orders cleared table and brought food and drinks all were exceptional. We couldn’t have had a better experience and the food was amazing. So glad to have one opening in Cardiff soon so we can come more often.

   I gave this restaurant a go today knowing it’s a Thai tapas type of restaurant which I didn’t expect it to be very authentic like a traditional Thai food. And the food indeed felt like a ‘Thai-inspired’ restaurant catered for western palate. The location/place was great, the service was good, the food was alright. Though, the Tom Yum is nothing like an authentic one, very sweet rather than sour. Overall, it was okay but I definitely preferred an authentic/traditional Thai restaurant.

   We looked on Google maps for vegan friendly restaurants in Bath which were different to burgers etc. We came across here & popped in. We were given a choice of seating & chose a nice window table. The decor is nice and light. The staff were very friendly. For the starter we had the cubed belly pork which was lovely. The vegan starter was the spicy mushroom larb (served cold, very spicy & very tasty, the flavours were WOW). For the mains we had the Lamb shank in a lovely sauce & coconut rice. The vegan main was the Thai green curry & sticky rice, both excellent & packed with so much flavour. For dessert we had the melting chocolate pudding with dairy ice cream & Irish coffee. A gem of a restaurant in the centre of Bath

   Amazing food, I love the giggling squid chain, and a different experience at lunchtime to dinner and I recommend doing both. The main restaurant area is large and open with quirky decor, which makes it a little noisy on a very busy service but it adds to the atmosphere. I had the chicken Satay to start with a sharing plate of pork dumplings. For main I had paneang curry for main with sticky rice with sharing plates including chicken pad Thai, charcoal noodles and sticky chicken which was amazing. Don’t take my word for it, take yourself to one of the chain and you will ditto what I’ve said. PS friends had the squid dishes and they said the battered salted squid was amazing to start. ⭐️

   Authenticity isn't the forte of this establishment - pad thai was way too sweet, Chicken wings were dry and over-salted but the squid is worth trying! The squid was tender and had an amazing crunch. They didn't have a few dishes that we wanted to try (Don't know why - have seen other reviewers also complain about this - maybe it's a supply issue). Overall good service, sub-par food but pretty interior.
