About A taste of Thailand, University of Kent
A Taste of Thailand is an Asian fusion restaurant on the University of Kent campus in Canterbury, near the Virginia Wolfe Building. Diners assemble their own meal and pick a sauce, such as Korean Spicy BBQ or Katsu Curry, with a Thai curry of the day as another option. Set menus run alongside the build-your-own format. Star chicken is a recurring order, and spring rolls and fish cakes are also on the menu, with chicken and rice dishes rounding out the choices. Dogs are welcome. Parking near the campus can be hard to find.

Customer Review Summary
Fried chicken, above all the star chicken, is what reviewers raise most. One says it slaps, and another found it freshly fried and quite tasty. Spring rolls come close behind, with one reviewer ranking them among the best they have eaten, and the fish cakes are called high grade. Chicken and rice are described as filling, and several name this the best food, or best takeaway option, on the Kent campus. Staff are called friendly, and one reviewer says the cost is about the same as ordering elsewhere, if not cheaper. The main complaint comes from a former regular who ate here three to four times a week and still likes the food. They are disappointed that the meat is now sourced exclusively from non-stun slaughter, and they ask management to also offer stun-sourced, non-halal meat. Another reviewer says parking takes some finding. One diner turned to the chicken and a soft drink here for a quick bite when the Coop was closed in May.
