A delightful experience awaits at "Giggling Squid" in Bishop's Stortford, where the magic of Thai cuisine truly shines. Each dish, redolent with the profound symphony of Thai flavors, is a journey to the land of smiles. Every mouthful was a revelation; the bold flavors simultaneously surprised and delighted. The eatery itself is a comforting enclave, reflecting the warmth and vibrancy of Thailand.
However, the experience had room for improvement. The manageress, while maintaining professionalism, could have showcased more warmth. A smile, a simple curve that sets everything straight, was notably absent from her countenance. It was the Thai waitress, full of genuine friendliness, who provided the saving grace. Her authentic charm enriched our experience, compensating for the managerial frostiness.
In summation, Giggling Squid delivers a deeply satisfying gastronomic experience, beautifully intertwined with the occasional sparks of true Thai hospitality. It’s a definite must-visit for lovers of Thai cuisine. A strong four stars, with potential for perfection!
It’s one of the best Thai food in the area. I’m so glad that I’ve found this place 😄
Delicious food, nice atmosphere and local 👌🏻

We had an amazing dinner for my mum’s birthday, the food, service and atmosphere was perfect. I’d like to especially thank Aoi Aoi for her excellent service and for going above and beyond with setting up and bringing out my mum’s birthday cake. Thank you!
An excellent restaurant in a small but beautiful town. The decoration is really lovely amd most importantly the food is delicious. The service is very friendly with a smile. The other customers seemed as satisfied and happy as we were. Thenk you Giggling Squid
Stopped in when staying at the airport for an early morning flight. The service is attentive and professional. The food is sublime - balanced, fresh and delicious. Absolutely worth every penny
Beautiful meal today, food, service and ambience 5*
We had Lamb Massaman, Chicken Red Thai Curry with Jasmine rice & Mixed platter of starters . Salt & Pepper squid was fresh & crispy ! Best I've ever had and generous portions for 2 persons .
Sancha tea came in a lovely tea pot ( enough for 2)
It is quite pricey but happy to pay as food excellent .
Toasted Rice ice cream to finish was lovely also .
Excellent restaurant, beautifully decorated with a really great ambience.
Service was attentive and food was excellent, I visited at lunchtime and it was quite quiet...I imagine in the evenings this is an even better experience.
Green papaya salad just like delivered from Thailand by magic, purely delicious! Green curry great. Portions perfect to feed hungry belly (starter plus main). But the biggest surprise were ice creams and sorbets. Unusual flavours. Highly recommended!
Thoroughly enjoyed the food - lots of lovely flavours.
