   Expected better. Nice enough but average Thai food. No heat to any of our dishes and sauces very sweet. Staff were good and efficient. Front door takes an age to close and with so many ubereats and deliveroo drivers in and out of was drafty and cold which kind of ruined the vibe. Overall an average dinner but at least it was cheap.

   Visited jeans bistro with a lot of high hopes of some authentic and real Thai food, and it’s safe to say it did not disappoint. Real “cafe” vibe about the place, a very small but homely restaurant and certainly nothing fancy about the venue itself. But don’t let stir you away from eating here. We ordered a some starters and mains to give everything a little taste. Starters - duck spring roll, chicken satay, spicy crispy fish and vegetable gyoza. Favourite here had be satay followed by crispy fish. But all starters were nice and balanced, satays were juicy and nutty not covered in sauce and marinated well. Crispy fish dressed with a nice hot chillie oil and spring onion dressing, full fish with light batter, real fresh and spicy. Note to the gyoza and spring rolls both were lovely and hit the spot. Mains - beef massaman curry, crispy fried chicken with cashews, prawn pad Thai and beef with oyster and mushroom. This where jeans bistro really scored high, that beef massaman curry was unreal, felt slow cooked, tender melting beef shin, real depth from the curry and balance of heat but creamy coconut vibe it was incredible, certainly the best dish I tried and best massaman curry I’ve had. But following that, the pad Thai was lovely, almost sweet and acidic with hints of nuts and soy, very balanced and nice to break through the flavours of the the beef with oyster and chicken with cashews. Both beef with oyster and chicken cashew were great too, nice flavour profile very moreish. To be honest could dressed the rice with those sauces over n over and just ate rice with the sauce from each dish that’s how much flavour was behind these dishes. Overall I would put jeans at solid 8/10 for some proper authentic food with good flavour, for being in Bristol! One thing I would mention, is portion sizes are on the per 1 size at max. And if you’re planning to share and eat more… order more. But then this will get pricey. Will return for sure!

   Came here with a couple friends visiting Bristol, I've been before 4 years ago so was nice to come back again. Unfortunately they didn't have the Thai milk tea which I was really looking forward to, but tried the green milk tea instead. It was OK, but still dissapointed I couldn't have my Thai milk tea fix. Nonetheless, the food was really good and my friends really enjoyed it too! Ordered the BBQ pork belly, seafood & pineapple fried rice, prawn pad Thai and a fried chicken in basil sauce. Unfortunately we weren't notified that the kitchen was closing for last orders so we couldn't order the mango sticky rice. Would have been nice to be notified.

   This is, without a doubt, my favourite Thai restaurant in Bristol. I have probably ordered from here or dined in around five times, and they have never once disappointed me. My favourites are the Laos-style papaya salad and the tom yum soup. On this visit, I tried the beef, which was delicious and generous for the price. The sticky mango rice was as lovely as always, although the portion seemed a little smaller than on my previous visit. The owner is also friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant—it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves Thai food.

   An absolute gem! The owner is super lovely and the interior has a calm and inviting environment. The food is fabulous with authentic flavour - feels very much like home cooked food prepared by a mother. I would definitely return!

   The food is extremely good and the tomyam is the most authentic I have in uk. The food is made by Thai people so it is super local thai taste. The restaurant owner is so kind and lovely, i will definitely paid a second visit!

   Food is fabulous and we went for less adventurous choices. Other tables had amazing dishes. Our beef with chilli and slow cooked lamb curry were excellent. One suggestion would be to ensure all dishes are served together because food served on cold plates chill quickly. But overall it was great.

   The best taste of Thai food in Bristol. Food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. All dishes came out one by one and was sizzling hot. The taste is just like being back in Thailand. The pork neck and papaya salad was on point full of flavours. All the dishes were delicious but those were my favourite. I would recommend order extra dishes in case as the kitchen gets very busy and orders will take longer. Which the staff kindly told us that it will be a long wait if we ordered more food. Would highly recommend. Our favourite place in Bristol

   We absolutely love thai food and this one was excellent! Doesn't look like much from the outside but definitely worth a visit. Also BYO with a corkage fee of £1.50 per person is a welcome addition.
