I'd be understating it to say I had an enjoyable meal here as it was the best red vegetarian Thai…read morecurry I've had in far too long time. The balance of heat to great flavour and full taste was spot on; I could eat this meal every day. The tofu was silky soft, light and delicate and a real treat. My wife also enjoyed an equally beautifully balanced sweet & sour chicken (no batter). We both opted for coconut rice on the side, again there's a sticky sweetness to it and it has a lovely mouth feel. We chose chicken satay kebabs and vegetarian spring rolls on the side. The satay sauce too was punchy, deep flavoured and just the right amount of nam pla. Again the sweet chilli dip that accompanied the crispy hot spring rolls was ace so another great balance of heat/sweet here too. Two starters, two mains with rice and a Diet Coke between two came to £25.10. Our host patiently waited for me to fish out 10p from my pockets - it took a minute digging into the corners of coat and trouser pockets. I found 20p allowing me to wait equally patiently for my 10p change. This place is about a 5 to 10 minute walk from the main city centre with some parking outside. It's a takeaway with some street cafe style seating. We sat on a bench style table with no refinement whatsoever and it didn't matter a jot. It was comfortable and the food was exquisite for what it is - darn good Thai food adapted to meet the palate of westerners.

Welcome to the authentic thai restaurant in belfast. All the food here reminds me of the thai food…read morei have had when i visited Thailand. The golden elephant is truly amazing for keeping up the taste in western countries and even the minced pork was super spicy definitely not white level of spicyness. The coconut rice is very sweet in my opinion so i guess it used a lot of coconut milk instead of oil but not my kind of favourite for coconut milk. The monk fish and the charcoal beef are defiitely something you should get so dont miss them. The pad thai was okay kinda bland would probably need more flavour for asian taste. The coconut soup woahh get this dont miss it please. This is healthy soup and if youre sick you should definitely order this. The crispy duck is my favourite food for the dinner. The crispyness was just super tender in my mouth. Until now i cant move on from the cryspy duck!!! This is very recommended and i would come back again in the future. Cheers!

Vegetable Massaman Curry and Tofu in Hot Sweet Chilli Sauce were delicious, as were the Vegetable Spring Rolls with Plum Sauce. You will need to ensure you ask for food to be cooked without fish sauce if you are vegetarian. Great for a casual dinner. As restaurant was very brightly lit and had a couple of noisy family birthday groups when we visited - wouldn't be good for a quiet, chilled, relaxed meal due to noise levels and glaring brightness - but still is a nice spot.

I'll tell you what, the food here is superb. It's been some time since I ordered from here but I am…read moreso fed up with poor quality, lousy tasting, overpriced Chinese takeaway food I returned here and I was not disappointed. I got a vegetarian red curry here and a portion of Thai crackers. The curry portion was generous and the vegetables, including red pepper, peas and carrots were fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoy the tofu and potato. The Thai crackers (£1.5) are far better than Chinese crackers too even though Chinese takeaway tend to provide free crackers with main meal orders. I've also enjoyed hot spicy curries for years, and maybe it's an age thing, but I find their vegetarian curry to be very hot, maybe it's just me and an age thing but I now add a teaspoon of sugar to their curry to help balance the spice - it works up to a point. They have a notice up advising no variation to dishes - perhaps this is to keep their food authentic or maybe to prevent cheaper ingredients being substituted for more expensive ones. The coconut rice too (£2.5) is really flavoursome. In an earlier review of this place I'd noted that the additional food cost of this takeaway tested against main dishes from local Chinese takeaways might harm business. The fact is that while this remains the case, Chinese takeaway prices have since increased, but poor quality, poor tasting Chinese food is still endemic here and the quality and fresh taste of this Thai food is very far ahead by any measure and worth the extra cost and I'll stick with them.

The food here is amazing, very authentic. We love Thailand and thai food, we visited lastweek and…read moreit was so good we drove the 20 miles from our home to have our sunday dinner here. The place is advertised as thai street food and it is geared towards being a takeaway, it has some seats inside but the food is still served in takeaway style containers, this is not a bad thing though, we both ordered a starter and mains but the portions were so large i skipped the started and just had the main and took the started home withe me. I had the coconut and chicken soup starter and the thai green curry, both were very good and we will definitely be back. My wish would be that they open a restaurant, its a bit of a journey for us and it would be nice to sit in a more relaxed environment. My only negative point is that the female at the counter did not know the menu and could not give advice, the male was much more friendly though.

And…read moreI'm not the only one who thinks so, there were no reservations available, and the line for standby was out the door and around the block. Fortunately, they let you take food to go so you can order and enjoy it somewhere else. Amazing spice levels, fresh food, and a great staff. The restaurant itself is a little bit crowded, it's not very big, but there is a huge demand, and I feel like the table are a little bit close together, but if that means more people get to enjoy a meal here, I understand why they have tables the way they are and obviously people still want to eat here. Plan in advance if you want to eat in and make a reservation. Take out is a GREAT option too so you can enjoy the food.

Well there's usually a story and so it is here. As I'm not very familiar with Chinese takeaways…read morearound Lisburn I texted an old friend for his view. I had tried the Man Lee once and was really underwhelmed and overcharged. My old friend said try the Emperor as his go to place. So we took his advice. Well we got three meals there and one meal from this Thai place. I didn't know it existed and just spotted it as we drove by it and the car radio played Excerpt from a Teenage Opera. Grocer Jack by the wonderful Keith West. We went into the Thai to order one meal and crossed the street to make the remaining food order in the Emperor Chinese. It was a lousy damp, miserable night too and I stood with my mind going 'count the days into years, 82 brings many fears' then I realised the girl on the counter at the Chinese had short changed me and I remedied that. Oh well another day dream shattered with dull reality. So I took the Thai meal - a good portion of tasty Thai prawn crackers - far better than any Chinese prawn crackers. And the Thai crackers came with a tiny pot of punchy sweet chilli sauce. A king prawn red Thai curry and coconut rice - one out of three boiled rice choices, the other two being jasmine and sticky (£6:50). It was a tough choice for a piggy like me. The rice was topped with that really adult delicious salted fried shallots. The liquid red curry portion was generous, it was very tasty but it was runny thin like a soup. The spice heat was just how I like it though. Hot enough to know you are eating it but not so hot as to make it unpleasant. I was delighted to find in it fresh cubed aubergines, butternut squash, carrots and courgettes. How refreshing but the aubergine and squash were near to disintegration by the time we got back to eat it but again I'm not too precious about this. There were six poached king prawns in the dish. So it gets a three star on the strength of this one main dish. I will be back soon enough as I really want to try the fishcakes. Oh nearly forgot there is seating inside. Benches rather than chairs - no expense spent - so a bit like a cheap and cheerful small cantina. One major disappointment for me though: no minced pork dishes available on the menu, yet a good Thai holy basil & dry red chilli pork stir fry is a fabulous dish. How awful it's like a Mc Donald's without any choice of burgers.
