About Bo Tree Kitchen

Bo Tree Kitchen is a Thai restaurant on University Ave in Belfast, serving soups, curries and noodle dishes alongside a wine list in a small, airy room. The panang curry is a recurring order, sometimes requested without rice, and the papaya salad comes with crushed peanuts. Mango sticky rice appears as a dessert choice, and a vegetarian fried rice is also on the menu. Reservations are required, and the room fills on Friday and Saturday nights, with a wait common at those times. Water is brought to the table without being asked.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the Penang curry and mango sticky rice as standouts, alongside praise for drunken noodles, papaya salad, and vegetarian fried rice for their fresh, authentic flavors. Several describe generous starters like spring rolls and crispy squid, and value is frequently mentioned, with one reviewer noting a two-person meal with starters, mains, and drinks came to about 27.50 each. Close behind the food, many describe the space as cosy with lively, unpretentious energy, though a few note it gets busy and staff can be run off their feet. One reviewer's lunchtime visit turned sour over slow check-ins and a curry served without rice unless paid for separately, calling the papaya salad overpriced at that visit, while most others found pricing reasonable. Several suggest booking ahead since tables fill quickly on busy nights.

    “Very yummy, confirmed by me, a Thai The dishes were authentic. Papaya salad were fresh, pork skewers were good, sticky rice is great. For papaya salad, it would be better if they also put whole peanuts not just the crush peanuts I was hungry so the bill came to just a little over 20”

    “Exceptional Thai food at a reasonable price. Everything tasted fresh. The spring rolls and tempura to start were generous portions and excellent. Red Curry and Massaman fragrant and well spiced. BYOB or range of soft drinks. For two with starters, mains, rice and two drinks was 27.50 each excluding service which is great value. Highly recommend.”
