The 30 Best Thai restaurant in Cardiff

“Beautiful flavours. Huge portions. Good quality and priced food. Couldn't ask for more. You can see the chef works hard, she's definitely a fab cook. Fair play, be visiting whenever we can. Nice to have something different in aberdare.”

“There were few people dining early on a Monday evening, so atmosphere was somewhat subdued. That said, we went for the food, rather than the atmosphere, and thoroughly enjoyed what we had.”

“Lovely Thai food and good value for price. Would definitely recommend to try as it is one of the authentic taste for Thai food. Everyone was very friendly there, would definitely return.”

“Delicious vegan Thai food cooked by the wonderful and talented Gena. Food is always guaranteed to be amazing!”

“The food was absolutely amazing. Ordered the Crispy Chicken Pad Thai, Beef Pad See Ew, and the Satay Chicken. Fast service, and fantastic customer service. Highly recommend going.”

“Delighted to have found this little place. Food was delicious and excellent value, 4 of us ate for under £40. You absolutely must try the sticky rice and mango dessert, a delicious treat and no mistake. Decent selection on the menu including plenty of spicy stuff. Will definitely be back!”

“Amazing food. Huge portions on the mains too! I’ve heard service can be a little chaotic but the quality of the food is really worth waiting for. No issues when we were there though. The Som Tam was delicious & it’s so hard to find a good Khao Soi in this country but she’s nailed it here. Lovely mango sticky rice to finish off too. Will defo be back next time I’m there.”

“Excellent food! Portion were good, service was excellent even considering that on Sunday it was quite busy and things took a bit longer to arrive. The staff was very friendly and polite.”

“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!”

“This was my first time here, and won’t be the last! The staff was exceptional, with a warm welcome that made me feel like I was visiting family. The food was deliciously fresh and cooked to order. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Thai cuisine. We had a lovely evening, and I’m grateful for the wonderful dining experience.”

“Had a lovely Thai meal here in what used to be an old pub. Lovely Thai lady cooking who was very friendly and sweet. Food was tasty and not spicy.”

“Nartnapa was a wonderful find! My friend and I were staying the night just next to the restaurant, at Sunny Lyn Holiday Park, while hiking the South West Coast Path. Having walked 20 miles that day, we didn't want to have to walk down (and up again) the big hill into Lynmouth, so we took a chance and popped our heads in at Nartnapa to see if they could fit us in for dinner that night. We were greeted with smiling faces and confirmation that they could seat us. The ambience was happy yet calm, with lots of other satisfied customers already enjoying their food. Our meals were delicious (prawn green curry and pad Thai), and the sticky toffee puddings afterwards really hit the spot. This restaurant is more than just "convenient if staying at Sunny Lyn" - it would be worth a special trip just to enjoy the menu and friendly service.”

“We love it here. I have come to Ty Madeira for years. The Espetadas are the main event, always cooked perfectly. I think over the years I have had the Fish & Prawn, the Fillet of Beef, and the chicken. Always cooked to perfection. The battered cauliflower that comes with the meal is fantastic. Perfectly cooked, not oily, with a lovely flavor. The service is always fantastic, where the servers build a rapport with you and are happy to laugh and joke with you whilst being very attentive and not overbearing. A definite visit if you are visiting Cardiff.”

“I have seen heaven and it is beyond this café's door. The food, excellent. Opened up a flood of hometown memories I thought long lost. The beef pandang was spicy enough to cleanse my palate without being painful. The spring rolls were mahoosive and meaty. The staff, wonderful. The vibes, immaculate. Dear god.”

“Good food, if you don't mind hair in your food, I am bald and clean shaven, so the 20cm hair that I had to remove from my mouth clearly wasn't mine. The staff didn't apologise, didn't offer replacement food, or reduction of the bill, after I spoke they offered to buy us a round of drinks, 2 of our party were drinking water, having decided that we would leave, we did finish the food in front of us, they the let us have the drinks free. First and last time time at Wagamama.”

“Simply stunning! We chose the set menu which is great. We ordered prawns, skewers, beef and chicken. This was accompanied by rice and greens Staff were really friendly and the food tasted superb. We loved the venue too, very different and worth a visit”

“Hope they do well. Lunch time specials was good simple food, done very well. No pretentiousness to the food or price. Look forward to a breakfast / brunch visit. Best of luck to the owners.”

“Great wagas, food took a little longer than usual but tasted great. We sat outside in order not to have to wait or be too crampt. My partners dish was a bit shy on protein but overall lovely meal.”

“Good food. Been meaning to try for a while. There’s quite a few dishes I wanted to try, so I’ll have to go back! I got the “saliva chicken” because I hadn’t seen it on a menu around here for a while. Delicious! Also opted for the cucumber salad and some plain rice. Salad was nice and fresh and the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked. Staff were helpful and friendly. Prices are pretty fair in my opinion, too.”

“The most delicious Thai dish with value price in Cardiff city center. If you craving for authentic Thai dish this restaurant will not disappoint you. The cook and waitress are very nice too.”

“I really enjoyed my meal! I had a take away portion of Pad Thai, it was prepared while I waited in under 15 minutes. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere, located at the top of the stairs, and I hope to return to eat in soon. (I visited on a Thursday at about 8pm.)”

“Lovely meal, well packaged, Delicious”

“Amazing food! Huge portions! Worth the money! Very much recommend it! Vegan options available! (For example, you can get pad thai without eggs.)”

“As an avid lover of Thai cuisine, I stumbled upon a true hidden gem nestled in the heart of Cardiff. This was my second visit and it has become a cherished tradition for me to return whenever I find myself in this vibrant city. They only offering take-away services, there were four stools available but there were more seatings in upstairs. Authentic Thai food by Thai chef continues to impress with its delectable offerings, generous portions and reasonable prices. We had Thai Red curry with Chicken, Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Pad Thai with Prawns, the Thai flavours served here never fail to impress. The Thai Red curry was very hot and delicious. Friendly staff, the entire process from placing order to collecting it was remarkable swift.”

“I’ve been hearing about this place for a while and finally visited for the first time today. It did not disappoint! The staff are so lovely and welcoming. They were very accommodating. There was a great selection of dishes. The food was prepared in good time and served well. The portion sizes were perfect. Everything tasted absolutely delicious! I’ll definitely be going back and would 100% recommend!”

“First time I ordered 2 years ago the food was not overly great . But now I have tried this place again twice in the last 2 weeks and it has to be my favourite Chinese in Weston . Everything I’ve had has been amazing these guys have definitely upped there game . And from 21 minutes of placing my order somehow my food had already arrived . Amazing … well done guys”

“My husband and I have a lovely anniversary meal here. It was amazing food, friendly staff, disabled friendly, and amazing value for money.”

“Delicious, great flavours and delivered lovely and hot despite us being far out. Best takeaway food we've had in years.”
