About Kai’s Kitchen

On Mount Pleasant Rd in Tunbridge Wells, opposite the train station, Kai's Kitchen serves Thai food across a menu of 129 dishes. Noodles form a large part of the list, spanning vegetable, chicken, beef, pork and prawn versions, alongside the Chiang Mai Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup. The room is small, with limited seating, and serves both sit-in diners and takeaway custom side by side. Orders can be called in ahead for collection and are turned around quickly. At the table, the waitstaff read orders back to confirm them, and prawn crackers come with the meal at no extra charge. It opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Our waitress guided us on what to choose for our meal and we wasn't disappointed, the food was excellent and potion size huge. If you like Thai food in a friendly atmosphere this is definitely the place to eat.”

    “It was my first time trying the food here and I will definitely be returning . I had pad Thai, squid and papaya salad and it all tasted very authentic. It’s the best Thai food I’ve had so far outside of Thailand and Mayfair. Im looking forward to trying more from the menu.”
