If you’re looking for an authentic dining experience with food that speaks for itself, Brother Thai is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again. The atmosphere was relaxed yet full of life, with the gentle buzz of happy diners adding to the charm.
Food was tasty but I do feel it’s slightly over hyped. I had the beef roti and wontons. The beef was a tiny bit on the chewy side and quite greasy but flavours were good overall.
My favourite restaurant in Cardiff! I’ve been multiple times and I love it more every time. The Satay chicken rice bowl is incredible, the chicken is so juicy and full of flavour. Staff are great and the general atmosphere is nice too. Little garden out the back in the summer. And it’s SO affordable!
Delicious, authentic Thai food. They were quite busy (Sunday lunchtime) and couldn’t seat me right away but they called me back about 20 min later when a walk-in table become available. And I’m so glad they did because I enjoyed the meal and friendly service.
Firstly, let’s start with the greeting & cleanliness. The bloke who greeted us was polite and courteous, the restaurant was clean and tidy. This is where the positivity ends, I’m afraid. Within a minute or so of entering the restaurant and sitting at our table with the menu, we were ready to order and our order was promptly taken. Our drinks were brought to the table fairly quickly after ordering. After roughly 20 mins of waiting, the waiter came to us and told us that there was a technical issue with the rice cooker and our order would be another 15-20 mins, which was disappointing but ok, it is what it is. After 25 mins, no food has arrived, many more people had arrived at the restaurant by this time. We called the waiter and asked how much longer and he replied “about 5-10 minutes”. My wife was chomping at the bit to abort and leave at this point. 10 mins later, I am also getting impatient and thinking about paying for the drinks and cancelling the food. The waiter than came and apologised for the delay and gave us a free spicy waterfall salad for the inconvenience. Another 10 minutes later, our food started to arrive at the table, starting with the beef roti and then a few minutes later, the Khua Kling. The portions were very small for the high price tag, although it did taste ok and was freshly cooked. Although it was a little spicy, it wasn’t really as spicy as we like it, but didn’t want to ask for any changes and suffer further delays. This is a personal preference so not really the restaurants fault, spice levels are very subjective. Therefore, we just sucked it up and ate it as it came. I did find the spicy beef roti pretty tasty and the roti itself was nice and crispy. All in all, a pretty disappointing visit to Brother Thai, so this will be our first & last visit here unfortunately. If you’re looking for an authentic Thai meal at great prices, visit Apple’s Kitchen in Abercynon. Their Khua Kling is amazing and they have many other tasty Thai dishes to choose from. It is absolutely worth the trip, you certainly won’t be disappointed.
Great place for some 'proper' Thai flavours. Really enjoyed the food. Service was on point, just right. My son decided this was the best Thai food he had ever had! We will be back again.
Loved this place! Such incredible food, didn't want it to end. Our waitress was really lovely, kept checking on how we were and making sure we always had drinks. The vegan dishes were the best vegan Thai dishes I've ever had, so we will definitely be back!
Unfortunately for some but extremely lucky for my girlfriend and I, there was a cancellation at this place which meant we were able to get in. The pictures do not do this place justice at all, everything and everyone involved in this restaurant clearly have the same drive to keep an amazing standard at all times. From exceptional food to the right mix of beverages to complement the dishes, this place ticks every box. Be prepared to do a little food dance after your first bite, you can taste every ingredient used, it's out of this world. Book now, you will not be disappointed.
