Hong Thai

This is now my second time coming here, the last time we came we tried more starters. This time round I ordered a pad Thai and yes it was fresh but I don’t feel like it was as nice as other businesses. I think I would only get the ‘chefs special peri peri chicken’ I’ve never tried anything like this and it’s a balanced healthier meal packed with huge amounts of flavour. The prices are so amazing and the service is great too. Whatever that creamy coconut spicy sauce is….. it’s genuinely one of the nicest things I’ve ever tried. I also tried the tri colour Thai tea which was nice but I think we ordered too much food the first time we went and so I didn’t get to enjoy it as much as it was really heavy, there were some kind of lentil in the drink. It was more like a dessert than a drink. This place is halal too which is amazing and gives Muslims a chance to try halal Thai/Hong Kong cuisine. I might try a Hong Kong dish next time as I feel I didn’t try anything from the Hong Kong selections.

The staff were lovely—friendly and attentive. This restaurant is a hot one. However, to be honest, the food didn’t meet my expectations. The curry rice presentation was unappetizing, and the flavour didn’t live up to its reputation. The HK beef brisket and wanton noodles also fell flat, and the HK milk tea could use improvement. Sadly, it’s not worth the 45-minute drive for this visit.

The food was FABULOUS, true home cooked, delicious, Thai food. I felt like I was back in Thailand! Its also a nice price, and I'd say one of the nicest Thai restaurants in the North West. Highly recommended! We don't usually get starters, but the starters were incredible too and I'm so glad we did. They were oozing with taste, everything just tasted amazing. An explosion of taste! Extremely affordable as well for the city, this meal cost HALF the price of most other similar restaurants.
