We love cooking at The Thai. But hearing what our guests say about us? That’s the real joy. Here’s a snapshot of some of the amazing things people have written about dining with us in Shawlands.
Authentic Flavours, Served with Care
One TripAdvisor reviewer said:
“Authentic Thai in Glasgow! … The taste was authentic, and the service was excellent. The owner chef came out and said hello … we felt very welcomed.”
That sentiment comes up again and again – people notice that we do things properly. We make dishes with care, respecting traditional Thai recipes, and that shows in what diners say.
Another review noted how much they appreciated our staff:
“Excellent dining experience in Shawlands … The kitchen is open, and you can see them preparing everything fresh … The staff are all extremely friendly and made us really welcome.”
It’s always been important for us to make guests feel at home – whether you come for a relaxed weeknight dinner or something a little more special.
Generous Portions & Thoughtful Menus
Here’s something else we hear often: our portion sizes and menu variety hit the right note. One guest reviewed:
“This restaurant has an excellent menu … Portions are generous … Plenty of choice of starters and mains. Food is beautifully presented. Service is prompt and friendly … We would definitely return!”
That kind of feedback means a lot. It tells us that providing a range of well-made dishes isn’t just appreciated – it’s expected.
A Restaurant With Heart & Sustainability
Our approach to sustainable sourcing and quality ingredients is part of what makes The Thai who we are. A food blogger put it nicely:
“They speak of ‘sustainably sourced’ ingredients … allowing you to savour the delicious flavours of Thailand without compromising on your commitment to the environment.”
We try to make every choice matter – from the suppliers we work with to how we run our kitchen.
Food That Stays With You
Some of the best feedback we receive talks about how memorable the food is – not just one dish, but the whole experience.
One guest recently shared that they were “blown away by the balance of flavours” and that every dish felt fresh, vibrant, and cooked with care. They described their meal as “the kind of food you keep thinking about days later.”
Another diner highlighted how much they appreciate being able to tailor their dish, saying they loved choosing their preferred protein and spice level, and that everything arrived “perfectly seasoned, aromatic, and full of depth.” They added that the whole experience made them “eager to come back and try something new next time.”
Relaxed Vibe, Friendly Staff
People often mention how calm and welcoming the vibe is. One reviewer said:
“The atmosphere is calm and airy … spacious restaurant … Patcha, our waitress was very pleasant and efficient … everything was served promptly with a smile.”
Another guest praised the way we encourage guests to make their meal their own:
“The other main dish … was the Pad Kra Paow … packed a spicy punch … Rich Thai basil and peppers … without overshadowing flavour.”
Why People Keep Coming Back
When people come back, it’s not just for one dish – it’s for the whole experience. A TripAdvisor reviewer put it simply:
“Third time I’ve been here … Fabulous authentic Thai flavours … The staff are attentive and friendly and offer great advice on the level of heat in each of their dishes. It’s a really enjoyable dining experience.”
And that’s exactly what we aim for. Great food, thoughtful service, and a place where diners feel seen, heard, and cared for.
