A delightful surprise in Alton.
I never expected such vibrant, delicious, and unique Thai food in Alton! Having been to many Thai restaurants with the same standard menu of green Thai curry and pad Thai, Thai Boutique was a true delight.
There’s a welcoming seating area as you come in, and a very friendly welcome the moment you arrive. We had a drink here before being seated.
I had the king prawns to start but also tried the chicken satay — both were absolutely delicious.
My main course was something special. An incredible sauce that was both sweet and tangy and satisfied all of the senses, and, a first for me, charcoal prawns on top of a sea bass fillet. The charcoal prawns were absolutely phenomenal — if you were to only have one thing here I’d recommend these!
Aside from the food, the staff went out of their way to make our dinner wonderful. Small things like the jug of water always being full, to the beaming smiles, and explanations of the food and the backstory of the restaurant were all greatly appreciated.
When we are next visiting we will be sure to return to Thai Boutique. It’s a real unexpected gem.
Was an interesting experience. Not the traditional Thai restaurant many will be use to. They are more of an luxury authentic Thai experience not expected in Alton definitely similar to some London restaurants. The food is amazing but does take a while to be served as cooked fresh. For my teens the was menu restricted as they are use to pad Thai, authentic prawn crackers, red curry, massaman, panang etc. with the option of having the dishes with chicken. Menu is great for seafood lovers including myself. For me the restaurant is perfect for a date night or with groups of adults. The price of the dishes is on the higher end, this is expected as using good quality ingredients and really well presented dishes. I did miss the prawn crackers and the option to have flat rice noodles. 4 starters, 4 mains and drinks came to around £120. Two teens and two adults. Definitely will go again. You should try it.
Probably the nicest Thai food I have ever had, everything as superb but the triple cooked beef curry was on another level - so good.
As well as the food the staff are awesome, our waitress made sure we were looked after and the man that brought the food out to us was always so happy and liked a chat, we think he was the manager?
Overall a great experience and we will be back (a lot).
