Had arrived an hour early for my table booking and they were very accommodating . They were very friendly and found us a table for 2. They promptly took our orders and it arrived without hardly any wait. It was delicious and the atmosphere was just perfect. Will definitely be coming again and would highly recommend this restauran
Excellent Thai Food
First time here and wasn’t disappointed. It was very busy and earliest we could get a table was 9.30pm (Was a Saturday night) so advise to book as early as you can. We had drinks in the bar until table was ready. Food was excellent, very authentic and decent sized portions. See the pics. Service was great, very attentive and friendly staff.
This place is kind of Ok, but bustling with people always. Had been there twice and had to wait. Food was kind of Ok for a veggie, but I understand from my friends that they're really good for a Non-Vegetarian. I would suggest this place if you're going as a group. Nice place to hang out and enjoy Thai.
OK, so the name could use some work but it's a very good Thai restaurant in Manchester. In fact, I've passed this place in Chinatown before and decided not to go in just based on the name. I only went based on a recommendation from a local that have visited and they were right - this place is good! Flavors were authentic and tasted right to me. Unlike the other Thai place I've tried, which I won't name but you can find in my reviews, Try Thai did not shy away from using fish sauce in their dishes. You can't simply add it after the fact... it needs to cook and meld together. Anyways... Try Thai did it right. I've never had a dish there that I didn't like and I've visited many times since that first recommendation. The spice level is quite high too... they're definitely not afraid to turn up the heat when it's appropriate for the dish. Try the green papaya salad... good but very, very spicy! Don't say I didn't warn you.
Miss the Food So Much!
Used to frequent this place when I was living in Manchester as a Student.
Loved the food here!! The spicy Papaya Salad, Corn Cakes and the Red Thai Curry were my go-to dishes to eat there
It is always better to book the table prior especially on the busy nights
Attentive service and well organised. The food was nicely presented and flavoursome. The price tag was reasonable. Lovely warm atmosphere and a very pleasant experience
Enjoyed our lunch set here. Tried the fried pork ribs as appetizer. Tasted quite decent, properly seasoned. The red curry pork stir fry tasted pretty good. Particularly when eating the curry sauce with rice. The dessert was a nice touch at the end to finish the value lunch.
I wanted to try siam smiles since it is listed by guardian as one of the best restaurants in uk. Unfortunately they close at 4:30 on Sunday. The lady recommended us this place instead to try authentic Thai food. We wanted to try everything so went for veg buffet. Quantity of food was a lot and it was good. The only complaint would be that the service was really slow.

Try Thai is one of the popular restaurants in China Town, Manchester. Known for its authentic Thai food, the restaurant spans across two floors, the lower one with a Thai Canopy style bar and the upper one for fine dining.
From the expansive menu, we ordered the following –
Thai King Prawn Cakes: These were king prawns and pork flavoured with lime leaves and lightly fried, served with sweet chilli vegetable peanut dip.
Chicken in Pandan Leaves: The chicken pieces wrapped in Pandan leaves marinated with garlic, curry powder and soy sauce and again lightly deep fried. The Pandan leaves with their sweet aroma and soft taste, is ideal for wrapping savoury items like chicken or even sticky rice.
Thai Crispy Calamari, These are calamari rings dipped batter and deep fried. I love calamari and this dish I found, was too oily for my liking.
Crispy Battered Soft Shell Crab: Deepfried battered soft shell crab served with Thai sweet chilli sauce: Again, a tad oily.
Crispy Coriander Beef: These were tender pieces of beef enhanced with fresh coriander seeds and fried. This was the best among starters and fortunately the frying had not over powered the taste of the beef.
All the starters we ordered, were deep fried and I was wondering whether they would have anything which is deep fried in the menu! Also the garnish with all the dishes were same – orchid flowers and parsley and shreds of cabbage and carrots – and could have been more exciting than these.
For the main course we ordered a King Prawn Garlic and Pepper and Chicken Red Curry and couple of portions of Jasmine Rice to go along with it. The classic red curry with aubergines flavoured with red chillies, lime leaves, sweet basil and shallots was creamy with coconut milk and succulent pieces of chicken in it. A true classic. But the King Prawn Garlic and Pepper was in a sauce similar to an other. I thought the taste of prawns were subdued with sweetness of the sauce instead of the flavours of both garlic and pepper.
We also ordered Thailand's signature dish, Pad Thai. Made with thin rice noodles, eggs, tofu, red onions, bean sprouts, chives, peanuts and dry baby shrimps stir fried in sweet tamarind sauce, this dish did not disappoint us.
But the Pineapple Fried Rice, which we ordered was pretty good and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and flavour of this dish. This dish had a combination of bite sized pieces of chicken, king prawns and squid garnished with fried cashew nuts served in a hollowed out large pineapple.
The drinks served also were pretty interesting – Bangkok Fizz, Gorilla Guava, Lassi Gone Wild and Apple Mohito. I just stuck to my Belgian brewed Stella Artois.
Service was a tad slow since it was a Saturday night. The interiors, which I thought was little clichéd, did not impress me. But the food did!
Eaten at many Thai restaurants in Manchester and this is by far the best one.
The luscious green curry served with crispy tofu made the whole experience delightful.
Food was served literally in just under 6 minutes after placing the order even though the restaurant was very busy.
Will definitely visit again and would recommend.
I really appreciate the lunch meal deals - something most uk restaurants can learn from. For an appetizer, main, and dessert, I feel like I’m getting a good deal for an inclusive meal. Food is delicious, im satisfied with the National dish, Pad Thai, and famous green Thai curry. My only complaint is the rather small portion. However if you’ve got a small stomach, you’ll be fine. Service was a bit slow to order, but the overall restaurant atmosphere was pleasant. Worth trying out for some nice Thai food.
Had some delicious Thai dishes here today. Pad Thai and yellow curry rice were tasty, but what awed us the most was their mixed seafood tom yum soup. The soup was fantastic, and the seafood within it was fresh and large. The atmosphere was nice, and waiters and waitresses were friendly. But it cost us half pound to pack our leftover with the box they provided.
Been here twice, both times the food and service have been great. The first time, I ordered the crispy chicken fillet with penang curry (shown in the picture), which arrived within 15 minutes - a pretty good time, since I came on a Friday at around 7pm! The second time, I came in for lunch, which had a pretty good lunch set menu of a starter and a main for £13. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is nice - I would definitely recommend this place for reasonably priced food in Chinatown, for lunch or for an evening meal!
Having read a few reviews, I was a bit sceptical about the service we would receive, but I guess you can't please everyone!
After being shown to our seats, we were asked for our drinks orders within minutes, by a happy smiley member of staff. The food order was taken promptly when we were ready, and ordering additional drinks was no problem whatsoever. The food was absolutely delicious, and thoroughly enjoyed by our fussy teenage son. I would recommend the tamarind crispy belly pork starter, as well as the jumbo king prawn chu chi curry.
An excellent evening evening, with fantastic food. I would most certainly visit again.
Service a bit slow but that is fine by me as I hate feeling rushed and want to sit down and enjoy a few drinks when I eat.
Food was the main event, ordered from the lunchtime menu and tried a few things I hadn't had before. Really enjoyed the chilli and holy basil fried rice, the coriander beef to start was great as well.
Good value, will definitely be back
It is my third time visiting this Thai restaurant. Food is good and delicious and atmosphere is always great. They have waiters looking after guests need so everything is speedy and quicky. Their prices is competitive in china town too, will certainly come next time.
Good food, nice staff, decent portion, lunch formula was amazing 😻 green curry satay chicken and pad thai were tasty.
Meal was tasty from starters to mains. Attentive staff and nothing was too much. Location is great as well as right in China town. We had the Try Thai Mango crispy Seabass - this dish is quite spicy so if spicy isn’t for you pick something else. The starter was Try Thai platter which consisted of all the items in the starter menu.
Pretty good food overall, but not exceptional, I've had better Thai food elsewhere. Were able to get a table luckily at a moment's notice.
I have a new favourite spot in Manchester! I can’t wait to go back and try the entire menu! The milk tea was delicious the pineapple fried rice to die for! I stole a few bits of the crispy pork from my boyfriend’s plate and it was so tasty! Such a good deal for weekday lunch as well with started, main and dessert for a really good price.
