Lanthong Authentic Thai Restaurant

WOW. I do not usually take the time out of my busy day to write any reviews. On a trip away from home for a while, one night I decided to go into town for something to eat. Upon entry I was greeted by lovely staff members who kindly sat me at my table. I had ordered beef noodle soup which I was looking forward to as I have never had it before. All I can say is that I was blown away by the tender beef and the burst of flavours, made me feel right at home in some way. I will purposely come back to this restaurant, even if it is not a part of my busy schedule. The family that run this authentic Thai Restaurant are amazing and are a real treasure to the area. I would suggest that anyone that can, please try, as you will NOT regret it.

I went there with my wife for her birthday dinner. Notwithstanding she is Punjabi, Thai is her favourite food and thus she is very particular about the quality. Both of us found the welcome very warm and friendly from the family running it. My wife was in an indecisive mood when it came to both food and drinks, and the lovely owner and her daughter were very helpful in selecting the right mixture of dishes and wine. The flavour and quality of the food was absolutely exquisite. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. We plan to go there any time we are in Chelmsford.

Had a wonderful experience at Lanthong last night. We booked in advance as we were uncertain how busy it would be. We were greeted personally which was really lovely and seated, the restaurant was empty save for a group of 4 however the atmosphere was really lovely, because it was calm, intimate and relaxing. And meant the service was pretty quick! We were told that usually during the week there's no need to book but it's usually a good idea to book for a Friday or Saturday evening. We ordered a couple of starters: Thai Dim Sum and Thai Fish Cakes. Both really delicious. Then we ordered a Chicken Thai Green Curry to share, I had the Honey Roast Duck Breast and my fiance had a Hot Beef Red Curry. We had a Jasmine Rice each. There was plenty of food and it was absolutely heavenly. All the food was presented beautifully. We asked to take home what was left of the curries and ordered desserts. I had banana fritter with ice cream which was incredible and my fiance had a pistachio and saffron ice cream. We will definitely be back, I can't believe we haven't been sooner! Looking forward to our next visit.

It's a little hidden gem in the heart of Chelmsford. Hard to find the entrance as it's a small door leading up to the restaurant, but once there, staff is welcoming, professional, friendly and just the ideal place to enjoy some nice Thai cuisine. I've also bought via takeaway (on Deliveroo), the waiting time was exactly as advertised so no bad surprises there either, compared to some other places in Chelmsford! The food itself has been great every time I've used this restaurant, fresh and flavoursome, the portions are of decent size and prices are certainly very reasonable. I love their coconut milk curry, highly recommend (ps: I'm vegetarian but there are options for all types of eaters!). I would recommend highly if you fancy some nice and hearty Thai food :)
