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!

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!
Really enjoyed our meal at the Giggling Squid. Friendly staff and the food came out really quickly. £75 for four of us including (soft) drinks. Would go again. Recommended.
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!
Lovely place! Waiting staff were friendly, funny and engaging. Food all came out in great time and piping hot and was flavourful and great portion sizes.
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.
Nice food, whenever the door opens a slight gush of wind comes in, so if you don't like the cold try sit further away from the door. Curries are nice and starters are nice too. Nice place to come with family or on a date.
I recently visited Giggling Squid Thai restaurant, and I have to say their food was absolutely delicious, even though it may not be entirely authentic. I highly recommend trying the starter called “Chiang Mai”; it was incredibly tasty! The restaurant itself has a fancy atmosphere with great decorations, and the cocktails are excellent. The staff were very friendly.
Ordered the Salt and Pepper Squid 🐙
Was Tasty, quite a lot of batter though.
Not long waiting at all, then arrived the Drunken Ribs, Very tasty but I will try something else next time. Partner ordered Sticky Chicken, which was quite spicy and probably better than the ribs but was cheaper. Overall was a nice evening and was fairly cheap too.
Staff are nice, food is good. 4 stars because I ordered a mocktail saying very less ice but again they made sure I have extra ice. Had like 7 ice cubes once taken out my drink was so little!
Absolutely delicious restaurant. I went here with a friend, and tried their tapas dishes and a couple of cocktails. I found the staff to be very friendly, and the place has a lovely vibe. It’s relatively reasonably priced, and I didn’t feel like there was too much or too little food. My only criticism is that they add a service charge at the end, which is quite unusual outside of London. Apart from that it was great.
An amazing spot for a date night serving some incredible food. The Giggling Squid in Norwich is now one of my favourite restaurants in Norwich to go to. The food here is amazing and the staff are all so friendly and attentive. There is an excellent menu for mains and they do some great desserts too. I particularly love how the place is also decorated, adding to the atmosphere of the restaurant. I would highly recommend eating here if you’re in Norwich.
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.
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.

Really welcoming and attentive staff, the place looks really cool and the dishes we had were very tasty. My main course was a bit cold but had no problems sending it back and was made a hot replacement with no issues. It was very busy but they still gave good service. Would go back and try everything! They should add a sticky rice pudding to the dessert menu, I think it would be a hit.
This place was lovely. Took my eldest for a dad and daughter date, and it was lovely. Great Thai food and I thought not a bad price. The set meals was really good. We managed to get in on a weekend lunch without booking. Really worth a look.
Went here for Saturday lunch, the food was delicious, the staff were very quick and friendly. The lunch menu looked really good but as we were not eating that evening opted for the full menu. We will be coming back again.
