This place is one of the best to eat in all of Manchester - really great food, sweet and unpretentious. There's a lot of love gone into the food here and I'm really glad to see they're back in a new location
I read many positive reviews about this place on food review pages so I decided to try it and first Thai food experience and I completely loved it. Great food , friendly staff and nice place
I am Thai. This place serves authentic taste Thai food cooked by Thais. I could see food contains a lot original ingredients like vegetables they used.
Not only food that tastes so good the people i talked to are all thai nice both front, back staff.
Something to be aware of is the portion may look a bit small in the price range but compare to taste and ingredients it makes sense. Also I think they fresh cook portion by portion so food takes longer time. But we know we have quality and authentic taste thai food in the end.

BEST THAI RESTAURANT IN MANCHESTER
I said it and i will say it again!!!
This is as close as you can get for authentic thai food in Manchester. I have tried a few Thai restaurants and nothing has ever come close!
I LOVE their Tom Yum, it is perfectly sour and with a great kick to it. Other restaurants do it too thick, too salty, not sour and spicy enough. But this is the real deal! Their noodles are chewy and goes well with the broth.
We also ordered the pork blood broth noodles, which I forgot the Thai name. If you have never had it the idea might be scary, but you will not taste the blood at all, just deep and rich broth that will make you want to finish it.
I expected the grilled pork and deep fried tofu to be a bigger portion to be honest, shocked me a bit when I saw it coming. But they did the sides good as well, well seasoned pork with spicy tangy sauce, tofu with rich soy taste.
Their pineapple juice is amazing as well, taste like fresh pineapple, no extra seasoning, no chemical taste. Just refreshing summer drink like what I will get in Thailand!
I just wish the portions were bigger, even the noodles are not enough to fill me, a not so big eater. The sides have much smaller portions compared to the photos on the menu. I would expect bigger plates with such price!
I have been this restaurant several times, I am thai I would tell that thai food here is the most authentic which i have not tasted in the UK for 2 years!!
They cook all the food with all the ingredients followed authentic thai recipes, Most importantly, the taste is soooooooo yummmmmmmmmmm
I would recommend, Panang Curry, Papaya salad, Tomyum Noodle, they are incredible!!
For starters, Sai krok E-san and summer rolls are the best!!
Writing review makes me want to go there and eat again 🤤
I want to give 100000000000 stars if I could!!!
Each dish here really packs a punch! This is the freshest & best Thai food I have ever had in the UK. Every dish is fantastic and we can't wait to return for more
We are currently still sat in the restaurant while writing this. It’s one of my favourite places. From the atmosphere to the food! It’s so intimate and lovely!
I wanted to take photos of each dish we had but I only managed to take one photo as we got carried away so you can see the stack of plates! Absolutely delicious.
1000% recommend
This extremely authentic family owned Thai restaurant offers the best Thai food I’ve ever had. Chef May was so welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere was so cosy that I felt I was in her home being served fresh homemade food. I asked her to change the spiciness level to suit what I can handle and she made it exactly how I love it. I can’t recommend enough! The portions were reasonably sized and the prices were a bargain!
Lovely authentic Thai place, the food was so yummy! Would definitely recommend 😊
I’ve been to Siam smile when it was in china town years ago and was amazed with the authenticity of the food. Now I’ve tried this location and the taste is still so delicious.
Best Tom yum in Manchester for sure! 💕

I brought my Thai mum here and I am so glad I did! I could tell it was going to be good just from looking at the menu and photos, but wow, if you want delicious, authentic Thai food, this is the place. There are so many incredible dishes on the menu that you just can’t get in a lot of other Thai restaurants, I can’t wait to come back and try more already!
We came pretty early, about 4 o clock, and we were there till 7 because we loved it so much and were chatting away with Chef May. It did start getting pretty busy after 6 though (even on a Wednesday), so I would definitely recommend booking ahead!
I find it a bit ridiculous that people are complaining about the issue of the toilet being round the corner, it’s really not far and I noticed that other restaurants and businesses in Deansgate Mews also have their own toilets in the same block. It’s hardly a sacrifice to eat delicious Thai food in a cute, casual setting in my opinion, unless you have mobility issues, but hey, each to their own. I also disagree with the complaints I’ve seen about pricing, considering chef May’s prices are in line with every other Thai restaurant I’ve been to (and I’ve been to many), plus her food is tasty, excellent quality, and are generous portions too. Myself and my mum both got one of our favourite noodle dishes - Kuai Tiew Moo Nam Tok, and the portion was huge! I also highly recommend the tod maan pla (thai fishcakes).
Thank you chef May for a lovely visit and for chatting with us, we will be back soon!
Chef May is a legend. The food and service is top notch. I had the chicken pad Thai and an iced tea. A must try!
