  “A staple for me! I always leave feeling full and accomodated for. I tend to nip in before a film or show- nam tok nua can be great on its own if you fancy something light. Try to make the pre-5pm sun-up menu for a better deal on the bigger dishes- for me usually the yam moo yang which has never let me down. So welcoming and relaxed, even during busier hours and August. The fab wait team and window seats, when available, are always a bonus. Water generally already in jugs at tables, refills at the dispenser just in front of counter or ask! Two accessible toilets past the right hand side of the counter. Walk in through the door furthest up the hill - they have a separate one for deliveries!”

  “This is some Dammmmn good thai food. One of the best. We ordered pad thai, the red and massasam curry was flavorful and delicious. I did not like the ting thai soup. But i still highly recommend this place. Cool atmosphere. Staff was attentive and friendly. So happy we stopped by.”

  “Utterly disappointing from start to finish. We waited more than 40 minutes for our food, only to be told, after we asked where it was, that it would be another 10 minutes because the kitchen was ‘slammed’. Meanwhile, everyone else around us had been served, despite them also having much larger orders, and being seated after, making it obvious that our order had been forgotten. Instead of acknowledging the error or showing any genuine remorse, the staff seemed completely indifferent. We had a flight to catch and couldn't wait any longer, yet there was no apology, no attempt to make things right, and seemingly no concern whatsoever that we had to leave without eating. We love the other location and go frequently, but unfortunately I have no interest in coming back to either location after this experience.”

  “The Pad Thai comes in an unappetizing cardboard box even though we were dining in. It was way too way sweet like most things in this restaurant. The chef needs to tone it down with all the sugar; it’s overpowering. It also had some mysterious black substance that stained my hands. The Mun Tod wasn’t edible. The crispy batter doesn’t do anything to complement the sweet potato. Just makes it taste like an oily mess. The Yam Pak Gaad Dong was the only decent dish and probably the only thing on the menu not swimming in sugar. My wife and I were very hungry so it should have been easy to satisfy us. On a positive note, the waitress was nice and friendly.”

  “Our food was not only beautiful, but it was very well seasoned, had just the right amount of spice, and was by far some of the best Thai food that I have ever had! This low-key, no fuss, unassuming restaurant produced food that rivaled the Michelin star Thai restaurant that we visited in New York City. I’ve already written to the company, begging them to start a new location in my town. We arrived early for dinner, and by the time we left, it was packed. I highly recommend making a reservation.”

  “Popped in for lunch on a weekday as recommended here by a friend. Great Thai food and loved sitting in the window people watching as we ate. I even tried the Thai iced tea for something different and enjoyed it! Would recommend.”

  “I quite like the concept and decor of the restaurant; dishes for one person (instead of usual 'to share') in a hip vibe/decor. Good for either quick meal or catch up with friends. However, the food and service left much to be desired. We ordered pad krapow (pork) with kway tiew nam tok (beef). They are okay at best for Thai food; still Thai food but not very well flavoured. One common thing for both of them are that they're quite sweet. The part I'm most surprised is the staffs were quite unfriendly - they never smile once, not even when I picked a tip option, just a 'thank you', no smile - kind of want to change to no tip option after that but what's the point of arguing. Quite a contrast to the rest of Edinburgh I experienced; people there are friendly and nice.”

  “We had a mid-size group, and all felt like something quick and easy for dinner after a big day touring around Edinburgh. A few of us did a quick search and this led us to Ting Thai. The service was fast and friendly, and the whole process, from booking a table, to ordering our meal to settling up, was easy. They were busy, the food came out fast, was consistently tasty and the flavours were well-balanced. It is clear they’ve got their rhythm down. It was just as we’d hoped. Definitely a reliable and enjoyable spot for a casual dinner, where you aren’t chasing a flashy experience, and just want good service, without the waiters trying to put on a performance or make friends. It is yummy food, a relaxed place for a few beers and to enjoy a chat among yourselves, or like us, to sit quietly, content and happy to be together with loved ones, and grateful that we didn’t have to overthink what to have for dinner.”

  “Superb food and staff. I had belly pork in massaman sauce with potatoes and peanuts and it was beautiful. My wife had pork moo yang (I think!!!) We also had chicken wings, boiled eggs, and sweetcorn fritters, and all of them were very good indeed. We also both had drinks. Staff were also very good, and service could not be faulted. We will definitely be back.”
