Quick info
About Bahn Mai Thai
Bahn Mai Thai is a Thai restaurant on Station Rd in Llanelli, where the owner cooks each dish to order and also serves guests from the dining room. The menu covers a wide selection of Thai classics, including pad Thai and red chicken curry, with vegetarian options alongside meat dishes, and laab prepared on request. Chang beer is among the drinks available. The room is dressed with Thai decor and plays calm background music, with fans overhead, and seating can feel tight for larger parties. Reservations are required to dine here. The restaurant is family-run, with a single person handling both the kitchen and front of house, which keeps service and cooking in one pair of hands from order to table.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers single out the Pad Thai and red chicken curry as standout dishes, with the owner-cooked Laab prepared on request also drawing praise.

“One of my wife's favourite restaurants, this is where I bring people when I want to show them a hidden gem in Llanelli. I've always had amazing food in here.”

“Really lovely little spot with tasty food. Enjoyed my red chicken curry! It’s a family run place with food cooked fresh! Lots of vegetarian options too.”

“Without a doubt, one of the best Thai meals I've ever had, and that's saying something because I've eaten my way around Thailand. From the moment you walk in, the decor and atmosphere transport you straight to Thailand. With fans overhead, authentic Thai beers like Chang, and a warm welcome that makes you feel like a guest rather than a customer. The real highlight though is the food. Everything's cooked fresh by the owner who also serves you, making the whole experience feel personal and genuinely authentic. I asked if she could make me Laab, a dish I loved in Thailand, and she kindly prepared it specially. It tasted almost exactly as I remembered. The Pad Thai was equally outstanding. Fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients was exceptional and the prices really reasonable. You can tell every dish is made with care and passion. If you're looking for genuine Thai food, incredible flavors, and a welcoming atmosphere, Bahn Mai Thai is an absolute hidden gem. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.”

“Good atmosphere. Service is standard, not good nor really bad. However, the pad Thai (despite other reviews) are bland. I used to live in Bangkok for years. I can tell you this is one of the blandest pad Thai in my life.”
- Anthony Poole
“Lovely little restaurant with a wide menu selection. Food was good. Drink options were limited. Was a busy evening and the sole person running both front of house and the kitchen managed well. Little bit cramped but perhaps not used to large parties. Would definitely go again.”
