I am sure I have written a review for this place before but think it's worth updating it…read more This is by far one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. And anywhere really. I'll tell you why... Firstly, the food is always outstanding. I typically go chicken or prawn panang. It's gorgeous. And sometimes gaeng massaman. Also gorgeous. I've tried a few of their stir-frys which are equally as lovely and I think once Pad Thai...always yummy. But in a thai restaurant like this I tend to steer clear of Pad Thai as there's so many gorgeous dishes. I like to try a different starter each time I go and I have never been disappointed. Secondly, Everything always tastes fresh and flavourful. I find the portions to be slightly large unless I'm sharing with someone. Between a starter and main you're stuffed. Thirdly, I tend to eat here once a month, sometimes twice because of the above (and I love Thai food) but mainly for the fact that the owner and staff are just absolutely lovely. They always greet us warmly and the ones that recognise us always ask how we are. I have been bringing my son (7 now) here since he was 4 and they are as happy to receive him now as they were then. And they often give him a free kids ice-cream because they are just awesome like that. Not once have I ever been uncomfortable eating there with my son. They never made me feel awkward or badly for when he was messier and louder. They have always been brilliant. Fourthly, to expand on my previous point they so obviously love their local repeat customers. I just recently went for dinner here for my birthday. The owner who had come over to chat with us asked what we were celebrating and when I told him he graciously offered is desserts on the house :) who would mind that?! (Just to point out it there was only 2 of us) Fifthly, I don't love their dessert selection and I LOVE dessert. But I don't care as I'm too full from the amazing starter and mains. However I had the lemon sorbet and that was really nice. Came in a real frozen lemon as well! So that's my love of Phuket Pavillion in 5 crucial points I suppose. I could talk about their prices but let's be realistic...Thai food in Edinburgh is pricey. And there's a few better known places that have the worst service and average food that charge the same or more (chaopraya for one).

This restaurant presents as very sensitive to allergies and dietary requirements, with statements on its menu speaking to the care that is taken in ingredient selection and food preparation. I got the green curry, spicy ("Thai spicy" explained the waiter) and holy moly it was so good. It did not feel at all like I got a white girl version of a Thai spicy dish, it was nice and warm and balanced and delicious. My co-diners got pad Thai and a duck dish, and both were super happy with their meals. I highly recommend this place.

Outstanding food - probably one of the best Thai meals I have had in Edinburgh, hence the 5 stars…read more The restaurant is located in Old Town, in one of the closes just off Cockburn Street. Given the location, it's a bit of a hidden gem but definitely worth the visit if you're after some tasty Thai food. They have a good selection of starters, main courses and chef's specials. Also some fusion type dishes are featured, e.g. Khua Khun Mae Special in the starters section, which is traditional Scottish haggis with Thai style seasoning. Sounds interesting, but I went for the deep fried king prawns with Thai beer batter served with a homemade mango sweet sauce. They were lovely - three large morsels with a tasty dipping sauce which wasn't too sweet. For main course I had a duck stir fry. Again, absolutely delicious - tender and very tasty duck with vegetables. Note that they do ask you how hot you would like your food. The waitress was very friendly and polite.

We stopped here because we were craving some Thai food. Boy, was this place a HUGE letdown. We…read moreordered two orders of Pad See Ew. On the menu, this dish is listed under the vegetarian dishes. We added beef to one dish and chicken to the other. The portions were on the smaller side. The biggest disappointment was there was no flavor! It's like they forgot to add sauce or something. Also, the beef was super tough. At closer examination, it looked like they steamed the beef and just threw it in the dish. There was absolutely no flavor to the beef. The mango and sweet rice was decent. We left this place still hungry and disappointment. I don't understand why this place had such high reviews. Maybe they don't specialize in Pad See Ew? I wouldn't come back here.

Hard one to rate.... I would have LOVED to give 5 stars to this place. Lots of regulars go here…read more Also one of my colleagues highly vouched for it and that is why I went. He goes there weekly with his girlfriend. So, why my doubts, lets start with the bad: - relative small portions for the price, especially from the outside it looks like a cheaper place. starters are 5.95 and mains are 9.95 or 14.95 and then you add 2.95 for rice. - the place was cold, but she tried very hard to heat it up with small hallogen heaters, still was not enough Why do I give 4 anyways and would I have given 5 if not for previous points: - the food is DELICIOUS. I was in Nothern thailand for a while and this is really it. Super flavourful... I had the beef garlic pepper stir fry and there was such a rich diversity in flavour. My colleague recommended me to ask extra sauce which I forgot and i should have, because it mixes perfectly with the coconut rice! - super nice friendly and adorable Thai lady. You see she put her heart in this place and creates a bond with her regulars. - we got a surprise scoop of coconut ice cream in the end! If I ever crave Thai I now know where to go for the real stuff, will keep it as a future special treat.... They also do take away!

We jumped at the idea, as we both love Thai and wanted something that fell into "comfort food." Georgie was SO right...best Thai we've had in a long while and very likely, best in the city. The service was immaculate. Kind faces, took our coats, started serving - with giant smiles - the instant we walked through the door. The food was served quickly and hot and unbelievably good. I had the chicken panang and it was perfect...no notes, the right sweet, the right heat, the right coconut milk...just amazing. I had it with the egg fried rice, which was a great accompaniments. She had the chicken pad Thai and it, too, was just perfect. The noodles were the right consistency and the sauce was so tasty. After a long day of walking, this was the perfect exclamation point to the day.

We had a family photoshoot done while visiting Edinburgh and our photographer suggested this place…read more Chao Phraya is located on the third floor but it's impossible to take the stairs to get to it. It has the vibe of a fancy nightclub. Since we're being COVID cautious we asked the host when we arrived if we could sit outside. We were told we could but only if we were drinking. (When we left we saw several tables out there eating food.) Could we sit in the main dining area away from others? "It'll be packed in ten minutes," we were told. It was 1:30. When we left only two tables were taken. We ended up having a private room with views of Edinburgh Castle, though the view from the main dining room was better. Our server was without any warmth as well. Methinks they have a customer service problem. The apps we ordered came in groups of three for our table of four. When I eat out with a group, my servers often offer to charge a little more so we have the right number to share. Not here. The Mieng Kum with grape leaves filled with toasted coconut and peanut was really good and one of our favorites. We ordered the Weeping Beef Salad and got the non-salad version which costs more. We ended up with the Pepper Steak and it was excellent. Even though it wasn't what we ordered, it was the best dish of the day. The Thai Tacos with chicken were small but good. The Basil Chicken was fine but forgettable.
