Not only is this THE best Thai in tunbridge wells. It is by far the best restaurant on tunbridge wells.
There is no doubt about that at all!!! Food is out of this world. Service is second to none. Staff and super attentive friendly and welcoming and restaurant is modern. Bright. Clean.
I cannot fault this place at all. It has to be the best in t wells.
Thank you for a fantastic night!!!!
We were looking for a fantastic place to celebrate our anniversary. Didn't disappoint. Amazing food and service. Staff very welcoming would highly recommend
Amazing food and the service is fantastic! Absolutely love this place and can't recommend it enough.
So lovely to see the guys again. Best Thai food in Tunbridge Wells, best prices and excellent service, as always. Would definitely recommend!!! If you want wine, take a bottle as they don't serve currently, but only charge a corkage fee of £5!! Also, 10% off for takeaway! I have been served by this family run business for around 8 years now, when they were previously located elsewhere, so was the best surprise this evening to find them. Will never go anywhere else. Thank you guys x
Perfect place for scrumptious authentic Thai street food that you don't always get from other Thai restaurants. Great atmosphere with friendly staffs. Absolutely loved it and would recommend to everyone.
We go here all the time and it's the best restaurant in Tunbridge Wells bar none. I've lost count of how many dishes my wife and I have tried but every time the quality of the food is outstanding. Loads of flavour, excellent portion sizes and true and authentic in its taste (without being overly sweet like a lot of Thai restaurants do) The staff are also very friendly and helpful- I still can't fault the place!! 10 out of 10!
Lovely!
Gorgeous food and lovely staff. The food is really authentic, with soooo much choice. It really reminded me of Thailand.
Some really spicy dishes, which I love. We love going there as a family. Really reasonably priced too.
Thanks!
Excellent food every time, the quality and quantity is perfect, staff very friendly and polite. The tables are a little small when you have 4 people at them, but this is because the restaurant isn't very large, but this doesn't take anything away from the food.
Also they do take away, which I will try.
Nestled on the main hill Upto the shopping centre from the train station this little place offers a varied tai menu. We managed to get a table without booking on what clearly was a busy Friday night. Staff were initially attentive and keen to get us seated but did take a little while to take our order. We put this down to being so busy. StFf were friendly and happy to suggest additions to to your menu choices. Food was quickly served, came hot and packed full of flavour. Good portion sizes and lots of options. The only thing was that if sat near the door, there’s a regular flow of delivery drivers opened the door so the chill from outside does make the legs cold. Also we ordered single rums and we’re given doubles, of course we were charged for doubles so worth keeping an eye on. Overall it’s 5 starts purely down to the food. An excellent choice for a night out or a quick bite (or even takeaway)
Very small and cute cafe on the high street right opposite Tunbridge Wells train station.
It was a very busy night, the staff were so busy and understandably it was a Friday night.
The food was ok, not great and not the best Thai food I have had...just ok
The Kai special rice tasted and looked like paella to me 😅 appreciate them ensuring no eggs was added. Pudding wasn't great either, the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream hhmmnnn I would give a 6/10
Overall it you are looking for a quick grab and bite, then I would recommend 👍🏼
There was only one prawn in the entire dish. Very large portion though. The starter was superb freshly made chicken gyoza...so yummy 🤤
Not sure I saw parking around except the train station drop offs...buses on route.
Due to a change in my work schedule, I haven’t had the opportunity to go to Kai’s Kitchen as frequently as I used to.
A recent visit, after their protracted summer closure, made me wonder if there has been a change of ownership…
The daughter of the owners, an omnipresent staff member, wasn’t there for the first time in decades. The papaya salad dressing was muted, completely different from the vibrant lime & savoury flavours of the previous version and the Penang curry lacked the lime leaf/ fish sauce highs that used to be such familiar flavours.
We booked a table for four for my birthday. We tried for 19:30 but were advised they book in two sittings and the only time we could be accommodated was 20:30. We found the table very small for four people and were worried where all the dishes would go when they arrived. Fortunately, some other customers finished their meals and left and the staff asked us whether we would like another table joined to ours to create more space which we accepted and this really assisted when the dishes arrived.
I enjoyed the Pork Thai Sausage for starters. I ate the chili which came with it and got the hiccups! There were a lot of Thai starter dishes I have not seen on a Thai restaurant menu before including this dish. It was delicious and certainly something I would choose again. For my main course I choose Chili and Basil stir fry with fish. This wasn’t what I expected but I ate it all. I had sides of Mint and Chili rice which was nice and Pad Thai Noodles with Prawn. I couldn’t eat all my food but I enjoyed it very much. I would be very pleased to return again and try some other dishes!
Found this place online a few weeks ago and had lunch there today. If you like beautiful, tasty, authentic Thai food, you must try this place if you haven't already. Highly recommended and delicious!
Great little hidden gem of Tunbridge Wells! The food is fantastic and decently priced. Lots of flavour and aromatics, but be aware, the food can be spicy! If you can't tolerate spice, let the staff know and they should be able to sort you out.
I had the Jungle Curry and that thing was HOT, but delicious!
Price wise? About £25 per head.
Also, be sure to call and book. There's only room for about 30-odd covers and it's popular on most nights.
Great food and service, regular retuning customer, have always had a fantastic time there. Menu is varied but not bloated and the quality is always excellent.
We had a lovely panang curry here, and the bbq ribs were delicious as well! Will be back.
First time to Kai’s, and it won’t be the last. Took a chance and just turned up at 8pm on a Saturday, table found swiftly without fuss. Food was excellent, good sized portions and felt like good value. Large drinks selection to go with it. In fact it was so nice, we forgot to take any photos! Maybe next time!
Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Really worth a visit!
This place is absolutely amazing. The food here is delicious. Heartily recommend.
Loved it!! Really has the authentic smell and tastes of our Thailand adventures. Chiang Mai was well represented with the signature sausages and even Khao Soi!! 😋😋😋
Oh lordy! What can I say? This place was perfection! We were stumbling around Tunbridge Wells trying to find somewhere to eat, when we walked passed Kai's and noticed how busy it was. Thankfully they had a table spare. Everything was top notch! From a veggie perspective, I've never tasted better cooked and seasoned tofu and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. The service also gets a massive A*! Totally loved everything about it and can't wait to come back.
relaxed vibe, good comfort thai food. ordered a pad thai, and pink seafood noodle soup. Happy with the choices and portion size was generous 👍 fried squid was amazinggggg, would have had dessert too but we were too full and in a rush, but they looked really rich and tempting
Flavours were nice, not the most groundbreaking thai I've ever had but definitely hits the spot - probably catered to the more english palette of tunbridge wells(!)
service was very friendly too, you have to go down some curved stairs for the loos though - keep in mind for accessibility
Good :
- Quick service with a personal touch.
- Courteous and professional staff. - Good tasting Thai and Shanghai food
- kitchen is clean, organised and well maintained.
Improvements :
- hard to think about! Well done
One of the best Thai meals I’ve ever in this country. Brilliant service, reasonably priced and awesome menu - highly recommended The lamb massaman is next level
