Amazing and authentic Thai restaurant. The food was up there with the best I've had in Thailand. So happy to have stumbled across this little gem!! Can't wait to come back.
Based on the centre of Norwich, this Thai restaurant was having a very busy night and the restaurant was understaffed. That said, server was really lovely and worked really hard to get food out. Had starters and mains, both very tasty and worth the wait.
Absolutely delicious food. Outstanding Thai food that tastes authentic. I had the Gang Daeng curry with tofu, and ordered sticky rice. It tasted amazing - pretty spicy, but I like that, and the tofu was the best I have had outside of Thailand. Thank you to the chefs!
Only downside was the slow service. The staff were very friendly and working hard because it was busy, but we were disappointed because we arrived at 6pm and did not get our food till 7:15pm. We had phoned earlier that day to order our food in advance and explained that we would need to leave at 7:15pm for a concert. We asked if we could eat at 6pm, and they had said yes. As you can imagine, we were therefore very hungry by the time the food arrived 😅
Sadly our meal was very rushed, but it was very delicious because the food is all cooked fresh. I recommend giving yourself plenty of time (at least two hours) to eat here. If you are in a rush, this restaraunt might not be the best option.
They were happy to accommodate for me being vegetarian and coeliac (gluten free). One of us cannot eat garlic, onion, or spring onions, and they were able to cook pad thaj without these ingredients! She said it tasted delicious. We were very grateful for their adaptability.
I will definitely return here in future, but when I have no commitments and don't mind waiting.
Amazing 👏 Wish I could give it six stars!
Atmosphere was relaxing, staff were friendly and attentive. Food was fresh, authentic and reasonably priced! I can't recommend this place enough.
This is a lovely Thai restaurant you should not miss in Norwich. The lady boss is very friendly and chatty. 😁
Although the wait time for the food may be a bit longer during peak hours, I assure you that the wait is definitely worthy! The dishes with one chili pepper are already quite hot to me, so if you prefer less spiciness, don't hesitate to request it, especially for the dishes with three chili peppers (some of the lovely fish dishes).
To cool down the heat, I highly recommend getting a refreshing Thai ice milk tea, which perfectly complements the bold flavors of the dishes.
Totally blown away with the awesome flavours, took my taste buds back to Thailand 🇹🇭 cannot fault any part of our meal or service will definitely be back
Some of the best Thai food I’ve had thus far! I love Mom and Pop restaurants and this one is saved on my lists to visit whenever we come back to Norwich.
Ventured here on an overnight work trip to get out of the hotel; so glad I did! Possibly the best Tom yum soup ever (not made to English taste and bland like many other places) and very generous with the king prawns. I could hear other diners commenting on how delicious their food was too. Lovely service. I’d highly recommend a visit here 😊
It has the best thai food i ate in such a long time. Good for vegetarians too. It’s favour full and spicy if you like it. The host is very friendly and warm. I will totally recommend this place. It’s a local restaurant not a chain of restaurants.
Best Thai food in Norwich in a lovely family-run restaurant. Service is absolutely amazing and good for vegetarians and vegans too (even with vegan prawn crackers on the house which was such a nice touch)!
Best Thai food I've had in the UK by a long way
Great food, even though it was a quieter night. Lovely elegant feel with genuine spice and aromas. Also well matched drinks menu.
Went for dinner Tuesday with a girlfriend and just love the food here. Menu had plenty of choice. Can’t fault anything with this little gem of a place. Charm was lovely so welcoming and even remembered me when I came in January. Definitely will go back soon. Best thai in Norwich.
We first visited Chamthai when we were on holiday in Norwich. Now we live here and we have Chamthai as our 'local'. Thai The food is tasty, fresh and the portions are good. The owner, La Or, is the friendliest lady on earth! We have lost count of how many times we have been there and I am sure we will keep on going there for many years to come! We love Chamthai!
Authentic thai food in a great family run restaurant. Incredibly friendly service Last night was our first visit but we will definitely be back soon.
This is my go to restaurant in norwich and I'm never disappointed. The food is amazing as are the lovely staff. I would recommend 100% if you haven't been then you are missing out on a little gem .

Genuine Thai food and exceptionally friendly service!
We've been to Thailand many times and love the food so were keen to try this place. The owners, a husband and wife team from Kanchanaburi, were warm and welcoming.
My wife mentioned her favourite Thai dish which is never on any menus in England, and the owner asked her husband if he could make it - he said yes, even though he needed to improvise some of the ingredients.
The result was perfect (see photo) and my wife was overjoyed. We also had a red curry and fishcakes, all were excellent.
Highly recommend for friendly service and excellent food, we will be back soon.
Lovely restaurant with a real family feel. Food was delicious and we were made to feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend!
