  “Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with the food. The sticky rice was hard and uneatable, likely frozen and microwaved, and even the replacement wasn't much better. The pad krapow (basil pork) had a strange, sour smell and taste, which staff attributed to "British pork," and the corn fritters looked pre-cooked/frozen, tasting old and overly greasy. As a Thai home cook, I understand ingredient limitations abroad, but serving poor-quality, reheated food at these prices is unacceptable.”

  “Had lunch in this lovely place. The décoration is authentic, and the restaurant is very clean. I had a green curry. The portions of both the rice and curry were generous. However, I felt the rice wasn't as fresh as it could have been- it was still good, but it seemed like it had been prepared some time earlier rather than freshly made. The curry was also a little too liquid for my taste, although it was still enjoyable. The beef was a bit overcooked. My friend's dish was excellent, and the spring rolls we had as starters were delicious. The team was lovely and provided great service throughout our visit.”

  “The team were incredibly accommodating of our large group (12) and once ordered, food came out incredibly quickly! Everything was incredibly tasty and in big servings. We had a birthday to celebrate and Kavya was incredibly kind in offering a cake with a candle for us to celebrate, even at short notice. She and her team then even turned the lights out to sing with us, which I think they did a few times already as it seems to be a popular birthday celebration spot that afternoon! It was a very special day in Oxford indeed, and very glad we spotted the sign from the high street. The restaurant is situated down an alleyway, and it is very much worth the short walk. Thank you Kavya for making our dining experience special! :)”

  “I tried kho soi which much more different than that one I tried in Chiang Mai in Thailand. I can sat it was fancy not simple like the real version. I am looking for that taste around world but it seems I should go to the city again. Anyway, it is good to try the food, it was 7 out of 10.”

  “I had a fantastic experience at Chiang Mai Thai Kitchen, and a big part of that was thanks to Kavya. From the moment we arrived, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, setting the tone for a great evening. Kavya had excellent knowledge of the menu and took the time to explain dishes clearly, offering thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be absolutely spot on. Her service struck the perfect balance—always there when we needed something, yet never intrusive. Even during a busy period, she remained calm, professional, and friendly, making sure everything ran smoothly. It’s rare to come across service that feels both efficient and personal at the same time, but she managed it effortlessly. I’d happily return to this restaurant not just for the delicious food, but for the outstanding hospitality Kavya provided. She truly made the experience memorable.”

  “We ordered several dishes, each one tasting delicious. The sum tum salad, red curry and gai gratiem prik thai were particularly amazing! The presentation of the food was very thoughtful. The service provided to us throughout our meal was also of top quality. Wouldn't hesitate to return again.”

  “A very authentic, cozy thai food restaurant serving starters, mains, and dessert. We went as a group of 6; initially we had to sit separately as they were quite full, but when an available table opened up the waiters immediately moved us. They were also very patient and kindly explained to us what each dish contained and what they recommended according to our cravings. The food was lovely - aromatic, temperate, and all our meals were served around the same time. One table next to us ordered Plaa Nueng Giem Buey (steamed fish) which smelled amazing. The crispy prawns had a lovely crunchy exterior and were soft and tender on the inside. The pineapple fried rice was also warm and juicy - we couldn’t get enough of the pineapple juice! Of note, the prices were on the higher end. Serving sizes were just enough but could be a little more considering the price. The main dishes do not come with a side so rice has to be ordered separately. I’d recommend dining here family style with a few mains so everyone can enjoy a spread of dishes. Overall, it was an enjoyable and memorable dining experience.”

  “Had such a lovely meal at Chiang Mai Kitchen. Felt somewhat authentic and flavourful. The mango sticky rice was very good – sweet, creamy, and so comforting. I tried their scallops for the first time and was pleasantly surprised – they were fresh, tangy, and really refreshing. The seafood curry was great too, really rich and satisfying. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the crispy prawn noodles, they were a bit too sweet for me – but my friend liked them, so it might just be personal taste. Portions were huge; we couldn’t even finish everything. The calamari was another favourite – light, crispy, and super moreish. Would definitely come back. Con: The food was too expensive for what it was and I felt that the price doesn’t actually reflect the quality but nonetheless it was tasty overall.”
