Koh Thai

An old favourite of ours, set in an old bank building. Always heaving and always noisy, and the atmosphere is as much a part of the experience as the meal. Upstairs on the balcony is quieter. This Thai restaurant is perhaps more spicy than others - comparing like for like, but for us this is an attraction. They are happy to dial down the spice on request. This restaurant is lightning fast with the service and with easy street parking nearby would be a good option for eating before getting on a ferry.

Food was pretty decent, service was great! Would still recommend if you are keen on thai food

Firstly, we are grateful our table of 12 could be seated at 7pm on Friday night and overall our experience was a positive one. The starters of grilled meat like chicken satay and teriyaki pork were tender and flavourful and the som tam and ribs get an honourable mention however, the Tom yum soup, larb and mains were really quite salty. The service was friendly but inefficient, our waiter took all starter plates and cutlery away but we had to wait for more cutlery to be washed as they'd run out so our salty mains got cold. Portion sizes were small and expensive - it feels like tapas so charge tapas prices not full main prices. We had to go and buy snacks after as we weren't satisfied which is a real shame. Feels like food and service need a bit of tweaking to make this a place you want to return to but as a one off, it was OK.
