Customer Review Summary
Pad kra pow and other basil stir-fries draw the most mentions. One reviewer picks the chicken or pork basil stir-fry, and another calls the pad kra pow fragrant and tasty. Close behind are Panang curry with beef, ginger stir-fry with chicken, chicken satay and Thai milk tea with boba. Others praise the squid starter and the mango sticky rice, with its rich coconut flavour and fresh, sweet mango. Reviewers repeatedly describe fresh ingredients, generous portions, hot food arriving quickly and friendly staff. A few say the online and table ordering ran smoothly. The complaints are specific. One diner who asked for the pad kra pow at 3X spicy found it had no heat at all. Another calls the food only okay and says prices have climbed over the years, which feels opportunistic for a place that never seems short of customers. Several like choosing one, two or three chillies, and one reviewer learned from a waitress that hotter levels exist beyond three.

“This restaurant's food will bring you to tears, genuinely. As a local, I think ifood is one of the best, if not, the best restaurant in town. If you want authentic Thai food, look no further. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the staff are extremely helpful. Food is sometimes at the table in under 10 minutes. My top menu picks: Stir-fry Basil Leaves w/ Chicken or Pork, Stir-fry Ginger w/ Chicken, Panang Curry w/ Beef, Chicken Satay 4pc, and Thai Milk Tea w/ boba. Would 100% recommend if visiting.”

“Great place for great food.... I live not far from this place and its my number one place for eating out... you can eat in or out and the wait is not usually very long except at very busy times where you can wait 25 mins but worth the wait... recommended.”

“Asked for a 3X spicy pad kra pow, amazing although it had no heat which was very disappointing as a spice 🔥 lover, excellent service otherwise and all the staff were awesome and chilled out, felt very relaxed in this place. Pad kra pow was amazing too so fragrant and tasty just no spice at all which was very disappointing :( wouldv’e been 5⭐️ otherwise if it wasn’t for the mishap, still i would reccomend this place for thai lovers some really awesome food they can serve up and fast too we were served within 4 minutes of ordering which was awesome fab service⭐️ i would recommend a visit to this place if you like thai it’s efficient not too expensive and the menu is pretty large. I loved it 4.5/5”

“I recently visited Ifood Thai restaurant and tried their mango sticky rice. Honestly, it was amazing! The sticky rice was soft and perfectly cooked, with rich coconut flavor, and the mango was super fresh and sweet. The portion was generous and everything tasted very authentic. Definitely a must-try if you love Thai desserts!”
Highlights
“Modest takeaway with seating serving Thai classics, including tom yum, rice dishes & curries.”
