A decent Thai meal, prepared by very friendly staff, that unfortunately has a tendency to be a bit on the greasy/oily side (the food, not the staff!). Personally, I'd go to Thai Pan, just a few doors towards the railway arches, for a tastier Thai treat.

Quick, authentic and delicious! I often find that the places with no frills serve the best food and…read morethis is no exception. It's very reasonably priced too. They do a deal at lunchtime where they cook up a few dishes and you can have whichever of them for £2 and add rice or noodles for £2. I had a chicken masaman curry and rice the other day for £4! You can barely get a McDonalds for £4! What's on offer varies for the lunch deal but they do tend to stick to popular dishes. They do proper yummy thai prawn crackers too (the orange ones that are slightly spicy) with sweet chilli sauce and play Thai music and the staff are lovely. If it was 30 degrees outside you'd feel like you were in Thailand! Decor is basic, long benches for seating and toilets aren't the best! They've got some pictures of the food on the wall, along with the specials boards and menu. I love it when there's pics of the food because I like to try new things and this helps with what to expect. There's also lots of interesting traditional Thai decor; old photos in frames and some offerings for buddha and pictures of the king. Don't go here for a night out kind of meal because it's quite quick to arrive and there is only a small bar, but definitely go if you want a fresh and delicious, cheap meal. It's the best in town for thai in my opinion.

Super casual and super tasty, just how Thai food should be…read more Thai Pan has been renamed 'Street Food'. I think this was to reflect their new day/lunch menu that, during the summer, they sell through their open windows. I've eaten here so many times that I now have 2 dishes that I rarely stray from. The Gosereng Malaysian Noodles and Chicken in Chilli Oil with Pineapple Rice. Both are absolutely delicious! The noodles are spicy with lots of veg and flavour. The chicken in chilli oil is saucier than you would imagine, it's not just flooded in oil. The pineapple rice is so good, not overly sweet and with a nice flavour of its own. Think wagamamas style noodles benches, chilli pots on the table and an all Thai cast.

I was so excited at the prospect of Thai tapas. I love Thai and I love tapas and this was the new…read moredining experience I was hankering for. Or so I thought! Bit of a con to call a starter menu tapas! And I was expecting to order something I'd never heard of, but it was tempura prawns, dim sum, pork kebabs, chicken satay and other standard starters! When I went to Thailand recently, there was something always on the menu called 'morning glory'...I love ordering things I've got no idea about (even if it does turn out to be a plate of veg!!) but there was nothing exciting about the menu. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious so maybe my expectations were just all wrong but I was thinking it would be out of the ordinary. The decor is lovely, a real feeling of Thailand and there's a lovely hidden garden out the back. Service was great, the people were really friendly and helped with how spicy things might be. Our waitress told us the chef's are Thai (which helps to make the food delicious) but when they say spicy they mean spicy! It was a lovely evening and setting but not the new fave eatery I was expecting!

Pretty disappointing, I must say!…read more With tapas in the title, I was expecting Thai style tapas - but not here! They had 2 pages of typical Thai/Asian starters: chicken skewers, spring rolls, prawn toasts and a few other dishes that you could order as a small plate, but nothing different. I was really expecting something I hadn't seen before. Maybe I was thinking too leftfield, but I was very unenthused by the menu. When the food arrived it was OK. We shared some pork dim sum which came in crazy amounts of chilli. That was OK for me but not for my girlfriend. The mains were fine, but for around £9 I'd expect more. It tasted like something I could whip up myself from buying ingredient from one if various Asian supermarkets. I actually think I've cooked better! Decor wise it was very nice. They have done an incredible job from what it was when it was Zizi's and I bet that on the right summers day it would be lovely to sit in the garden. This would be a good place to go for a alternative family meal as the place does have some wow factor. But if you want to go for a really good Thai meal, there's definitely better places to go in Bristol!

Although I like the fact that many people havent discovered this place. It's great to know there are still places, even in a popular city like Bristol, that can happily churn out a successful business without many of the general public being aware of it's existance. I like noodle, I like eastern food, I like Orchid.

I have only had the one takeaway from here and I'm more of a curry man, but I would definitely come back here. My satay chicken could have been a bit saucier (with more sauce, not wearing high heels and doing a burlesque dance), but my crispy aromatic duck pancakes were perfect; I was served a good size (large) portion and the hoisin sauce was really thick and full of flavour. The staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming, and I would go back just to be treated like that. I have to be honest about the restaurant itself, it is very 'modern' with wooden benches, white walls, lime green and yellow lights and some people might find this quite a cold environment to spend an evening in, possibly better for lunchtime. But I am told there is a slightly more intimate, dimly lit, 'date' section in the back; just in case they don't look like their photo.

Believe the hype…read more Kino is my favourite cafe in the UK. Trips from London to Bristol have been scheduled in the past for no other reason than a Kino Visit and will be scheduled in the future for no other reason for a Kino Visit. I do have friends in Bristol, but it's very much Kino first, friends second. And I say that only semi-jokingly. They have a space downstairs where they put on arts stuff. I once saw a play there called Whiskey Tango. The food and drink is all vegan, and is all great. I am a vegetarian, not a vegan, but it never feels like you're just eating a bunch of lentils here. The food has a substantial feel to eat, which they sort of engender by having vegan bacon in their sandwiches, etc. I usually go for a milkshake and the vegan breakfast. I feel an immense satisfaction after having consumed these items. There's so much variety on the menu that I should really try something new each time I come, although I usually end up sticking to the old favourites. There are so many cakes, biscuits, teas, sandwiches etc available that there really is something for everyone. Even the most hardened carnivore would struggle not to like this place. There's something about the space, too, that I like. You feel very free inside. It has a nice community feel to it. The staff have always been great. Give this place a go. But be careful. You might never leave.

Such a lovely place to sit and enjoy Bristol. The staff are so lovely and good vibes all around…read more Would recommend if you want somewhere to brighten up your day. So cute I'm obsessed!

Despite the delicious cuisine Thailand and other South East Asian countries have to offer, they seem to be somewhat underrepresented on Bristol's restaurant scene. I have no doubt that Thai Classic passes under the radar of many,i which is a mistake indeed. The restaurant has a tranquil atmosphere unusual for the road on which it is situated, I can't exactly imagine it being overrun by stag and hen dos at the weekend. All the staff are Thai and it is clearly authentic down to the very last detail. The food is perhaps not the greatest I've ever tried, but the recipes were tasty and well-executed. Thai Classic certainly isn't new or modern, if anything it reminds me of restaurants how they used to be when I was a little kid being shepherded round oriental eateries by my parents. What it is, however, is good quality, tasty food at very respectable prices with excellent service.

Inside is a very cosy little Asian eatery, specialising in Malaysian and Thai cuisine. There is an extensive menu for both, and also, set meals for each nationality of cuisine. I was particularly impressed by Thai set meal B, especially the garlicky pork dish. (to be honest I'm quite impressed by anything garlicky). Anyhow, I also found the service to be extremely smooth and friendly, making for an overall enjoyable eating experience.
