Take 5 Restaurant

Came here for 1pm lunch with my friend, was a lovely experience. We liked that it wasn't too loud or busy. The interior design was very stylish and we adored the branding design on the menu brochures! My friend tried the Pad Thai and seemed very satisfied. I tried Pad Kee Mao and my tongue was on fire 🔥 but it really hit the spot for me.

My friends and I were visiting from Manchester, and liked the look of this place for tea. I started with the Golden Money Bags: tightly-packed, little crispy parcels served with a sweet chilli sauce. For my main, I enjoyed a hearty King Prawn Pad Thai. If it weren’t for the distance, I’d go there again!

I’ve been wanting to try giggling squid for awhile now. I went at around 12:20 for lunch. I ordered the new fisherman’s feast, sticky chicken, yummy duck rolls and Roti. To drink I had a delicious strawberry cooler. The staff were all so kind and lovely. However it took around 40 minutes for the food to finally come out which I was a bit disappointed in. I liked the crispy crab bites and sriracha dipping sauce from the fisherman’s feast. The papaya salad was actually nice too. I personally wasn’t a big fan of the squid as I felt they were quite big pieces so more difficult to eat as the batter fell off easy. I loved the sticky chicken, tender meat and really nice sauce. Unfortunately I wasn’t a fan of the duck spring rolls or the roti. Overall I wish the food came out quicker, I don’t think the food is the best I’ve had but it has a lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff! Thank you!

Went in for the lunch because we heard a lot about the lunch deal from a friend.We ordered Hawker and Royal Meal set and shared it between us.I feel like this was perfect because the Royal meal set had more of the starter meals so we had those first.The samui zingy prawn with the lettuce wrap was to die for, it had the perfect amount of seasoning.That was the star for the Royal Set.For the Hawker set everything exceptional but the chicken tom kha soup was chef kiss.Everything that we ordered was 10/10!!I will definitely be coming back because for the price that your paying the meal that you get is splendid.

Really loved dining at Giggling squid. The location is in the bubbling part of the city yet it’s adequately situated to give you a serene dining experience. My friends and I had one of the platters with some side dishes and they paired really well together. The service was great and we loved the attention to details that the servers payed to us. Well done and I’d definitely recommend.

5 star experience all around. Excellent food, excellent atmosphere, and the staff was great. I hadn't been before so I asked my friend what was good and he said "honestly, anything on the menu". He was correct. I have the squid appetizer and a curry for dinner, which were amazing. The spice was just right. I travel to the area once a year so I will certainly be back on my next trip! A+

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Giggling Squid. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options, and the Red Thai Curry I ordered looked very impressive in its generously large bowl. However, I was a bit surprised by the portion size; the inner portion was smaller than expected, closer to a small cereal bowl which did make me a little sad. The lamb shank and curry had a more watery consistency than I'd prefer, but the taste was still delightful. Overall, a good dining experience with room for improvement in portion size and consistency considering the cost of the main dishes are not far from £20 Staff did check we were enjoying our meal a little to frequently, just once is fine it’s the tiniest bit annoying as you always seem to have a mouth full of food when asked if everything’s alright four times through one course. 🤷‍♂️😊 Overall I’d definitely come back, there is still plenty on the menu I haven’t eaten yet and I’m sure my review will certainly evolve.
