"Thai Kitchen is a fantastic place for authentic Thai food and heartfelt service. The staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and highly skilled, always taking great care of individual needs and preferences. You can really feel the experience and passion behind every dish. The food is absolutely delicious, full of flavour, and prepared with real care and love. Even though it’s an open space close to the street, we had a genuinely warm and satisfying dining experience that made us want to come back. Thanks a lot."

"This is the best Thai food we tried out during our stay here, I finished eating and was lost what to do next. The cook (and I think the owner) does everything herself, and the whole service personal is super nice. They arrange the food perfectly. It is also in a good reachable location. Sometimes, they run out of a dish, but then we picked another. We had the red curry and the cashew with chicken. I also got a Mango shake that tasted very fruity."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible! This is hands-down one of the most authentic Thai restaurants I’ve ever visited. Every dish tasted like it came straight from a Thai home kitchen—fresh ingredients, bold flavours, and that perfect balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. The staff were warm, welcoming, and so attentive, making the whole experience feel personal and genuine. The atmosphere was cosy and vibrant, and the food came out quickly despite the restaurant being busy. The pad kra pao and tom yum were standouts—packed with flavour and cooked to absolute perfection. If you’re craving real Thai food and a memorable dining experience, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"A real hidden gem. The owner cooks everything herself, fresh and full of flavor. You can taste right away that this is authentic Thai food, not mass-produced. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, almost like being a guest in someone’s home. If you’re looking for honest, freshly cooked Thai food, this is the place to go."

"Pro tip: come early. This place operates on a first come, first served basis, with a limited number of tables, so arriving ahead of time really makes a difference. We did end up waiting about an hour for our food, and a few items we originally wanted to order were already sold out. The waiter kindly came over to explain the situation and helped us choose alternatives, which we appreciated. Despite the wait, the experience was absolutely worth it. The cashew chicken was outstanding—rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked—and the duck was equally delicious, tender with great depth of flavor. Overall, aside from the timing and limited availability, everything was excellent. I’d happily come back, just a bit earlier next time"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional experience! We had dinner at Thai Kitchen in Lamai and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The dishes were delicious, authentic, and perfectly prepared, with incredible flavors. But beyond the food, it was the three lovely ladies running the restaurant who made the moment truly special — incredibly kind, welcoming, attentive and full of warmth. You feel genuinely cared for, which is rare and precious. A huge thank you for this wonderful experience — we will definitely be back!"

"Came here twice in two days and would’ve come every day if I didn’t want to try other restaurants. The chef and staff here are all very nice and very attentive, they will really go out of their way to make you feel welcome and if you’re not into spicy they will adjust! The food is super super super fresh, the ingredients are literally available for you to look at and they are amazing. Every bite had us looking at each other saying “OMG”. Really recommend this spot and I promise if you come once you’ll be asking yourself when you can come again."
