What a gem of place in the middle of Bath! At first, I thought it was a tourist trap but I was proven wrong. The moment you enter it's a beautiful, authentic Thai restaurant with warm service, lovely decor and cute balconies overlooking the vibrant square. Everything we tried was super delicious & of excellent quality. It's a unmissable spot in Bath - highly recommend Thai Balcony! read more

My love Michael and I were enchanted by the garden like upstairs balcony setting as soon as we arrived, and we were glad to be eating outdoors for Covid safety. The staff were friendly and accommodating of our meal alteration requests and they brought our check quickly upon request. The food was yummy, especially the corn cakes. There were lots of vegetarian options and the menu was clear about allergen inclusions. read more

It was a whim idea for Thai. We were the first ones in the first sitting. No worries, great spot for two. Excellent Chicken curry over rice And the best grilled king prawns I can remember. A little messy with heads , legs and feet. A lot of splitting but they gave me a small finger bowl. Beautiful Thai Decor. Very crowded when we were Fini. I would return. They prefer reservations. We were walk ins. Quite nice read more

Quick, quality service followed by phenomenal food. Especially Pad Thai Recommend big time read more

First time here. The ambience is a work of art, including the vestment of the waitresses. Located on the second floor of a building in Bath, today I was able to walk in without being stopped by a line waiting to enter. Prices seem very reasonable, especially for a centrally located restaurant, and the Pad Tai I ordered was presented beautifully and served rapidly. It is by far the most beautiful thai restaurant I have ever had the opportunity to eat at. Treat yourself to it if you ever have a chance! read more

Omgooodness. The food was beyond exceptional! We loved the food and the service! Everything was exceptional!! We had Penang chicken, Pad Sewew, Tom Kaw soup , sticky rice. .... Everything was too perfection! This place deserves so many current reviews that are top of the line. They have professional chefs from Thailand, cooking here. When I come to bath someday I will definitely come back here! Thank you so much. read more

First of all, the balcony is amazing. It wraps along the outside of the building like a balcony in Paris, with ornate railing and lined with flowers. Sitting out there with my sweetie was impressively romantic. The food was mostly good. I had appetizers only. Corn cakes: first class, crispy on the outside with a delicate flavor. The shrimp in pastry tasted good but the sauce it came with made it taste rotten. I finally ignored the sauce because the pastry itself was fine. The grilled spareribs were just ok, more deep fried than grilled and tasting like stew meat. They also don't know how to make jasmine tea so it's not bitter: the water has to be only about 180 degrees F and you must steep it only about 3 minutes. The service was elegant and efficient. Overall a sweet romantic dining experience. read more

Not everything was perfect but this is still way better than the other Thai restaurants in most of Europe. The worst dish was the spicy Noodle Keemao chicken. All of my family said the dish wasn't good. We loved the Tamarind duck the best. The pad Thai, chicken massaman and pad skew beef were good. The place is decorated really ethnic Thai and the decorator did an excellent job in the restaurant. read more

Good food and amazing service and a nice cool view but the food was a little bland especially when you order Thai you're expecting some kick. read more

Reading the other reviews: we had no problem with service - but we were also the first table sat (perks of living in Europe where everyone eats late!) we were seated right away and our order was taken right away. The inside is really pretty! And lots to look at - nice for a 3 year old! The spring roll appetizer was yummy and pretty presentation! I had the pad Thai - which was good and had a good amount of prawn. My dining partner had Pad See Ew and just thought it was "eh". My Singapore Sling was good! I'd probably check out a different Thai place next time as there are quite a few in town! read more

Yet another great recommendation from the Rick Steves Great Britain travel guidebook, this restaurant is smack in the middle of the touristy section of Bath (full of quick food options). The front door opens to a staircase that takes you upstairs. I've eaten at a lot of Thai places but this one is larger and decorated in a more opulent style than normal. They also keep the place clean--with all the ornate artwork, we didn't see any dust or cobwebs in the tops or corners. We went on a Tuesday evening at 7:30 And we're seated right away. They offered shrimp chips as a free appetizer. I asked for still water and got a liter bottle of Voss (ask for tap water if that's all you want). We ordered their Siamese king prawns, vegetable green curry, and sticky rice (we didn't want to overeat). We were amazed because it didn't take more than 5 minutes to get our order. The food? Simply amazing. The Siamese king prawn were large and still in their shell, but split open to make eating very easy. The fish came with onions, green & red peppers, and came in an absolutely delightful sauce. I can't even begin to guess what the spices were in the sauce, but it was a complex combination that worked really well. Since we had the prawn dish, we chose to go with a vegetarian green curry. It was served in the type of tin serving bowl that looks deceptively small. I've had a lot of Thai green curry, and this one was right there with the best of them. There was a lot of sauce, but also a good amount of vegetables. Everything was sliced or cut up in a reasonable bite size so it made it easy to eat. Not all Thai places offer sticky rice, so we jumped at the opportunity to order this. It's super glutinous... even more so than say Japanese rice. All in all, a wonderful and filling meal. Both flavor and presentation were quite impressive, and I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Unbeknownst to this American traveller, most British pubs close their kitchens on Sunday evenings. Since I needed something more than beer or cider for dinner, and wanted a place to sit down for a little, the hotel concierge recommended Thai Balcony. The entrance is a little hidden off a side street and it's on the second floor. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is quite nicely decorated. The meal starts off with some prawn chips- avoid if you have a shellfish allergy like me. For my entree I decided to try a take on a familiar dish with a new protein- the drunken duck. First, the dish looked beautiful, I really wish I had taken a photo prior to devouring all of it. Just the right heat and seasoning level on everything too. Wonderful hospitality and food overall. read more

This place sits in the heart of the downtown and serves delicious food. The service was bad and they paid no attention to us after they took our order. The food is delicious and this place gets really busy so book a place in advance. We were waiting and try to have an eye contact with any of the Waiters so that we can further order and when I then caught the eye of my waiter, he showed through his hands that I should wait and did not come right away to ask us. It felt like they were just hurrying us worth the orders first and then worth the table. Overall I did not like the service but the food was delicious. read more

Wonderful dinner there recently. The service was excellent and the food superb. We has a lovely balcony seat overlooking the street. The interior is beautiful. read more

Don't waste your money. Looks great but the food is overcooked, the sauces thin and the service mediocre.

This place is good. The food is tasty but it is on the pricey side. The staff is friendly. The ambience is a bit OTT but it's what you would expect from a Thai restaurant. we sat outside on.the small balcony. It was a tight fit! You should reserve a table as it can get busy! I definitely would recommend this place. read more

We wanted to try the place especially for its location. I reserved a table for two, but when we arrived they couldn't locate it. That was surprising as it was a Thursday evening and it was not a busy night. They gave the table away to another couple, so we got accompanied to the table on one side of the room. I immediately noticed the dust on the ornaments hanging from the walls, signed that the place is not clean. The table was fine. The interior is decorated with a real exotic touch and the waiters wear what I believe might be traditional clothes. A bit superfluous for me, but I believe most people would like it. With such an attire and decorations I expected the food to be delicious. Not quite right. Our order comprehended one starter to share, a soup with chicken, three dishes (beef, chicken and prawns) accompanied with sides of rice and noodles. While ordering we asked for a couple of items to be served without coriander. The waiter, visibly confused, said "Okay no coriander for everything." No this is not what I asked... I explained it one more time in the clearest and most concised way possible. We still got all the dishes without coriander. The vegetarian starter was bland, tasty only the plum sauce it came with it. The soup was really flavoured, but the chicken in it tasted funny. I believe it was because the food was previously cooked and then reheated when ordered, this it how chicken get that funny taste. So, keep in mind that NONE of the food is cooked at the moment, but instead is simply reheated. In fact, the same story goes for the chicken in one of our main dishes, again tasting kind of funny. The sweet and sour prawns were simply drown in a sweet sauce and all the 3 dishes were quite oily. Nice taste for the sauces for the beef and the chicken dishes, unfortunately the experience was ruined by the food being reheated. Portions were fine, I wouldn't have eaten more than that anyways. The service is polite and the waiters smily, but unfortunately they seem not able to process simple requests. In total we paid £62.50 with a bottle of sparkling water. I was happy to add to the bill the 10% service charge, but they said they could only accept that in cash. So, they got just a few coins. Overall, food is average, nothing special or that I would call traditional, oily, maybe a bit pricey considering is reheated. Service is polite, but not very skilled. Location is nice if you get a window seat, but the place is visibly dirty. The place tries to distract the customers with a mocking Thai vibes and plenty of useless ornaments from the culinary experience, which must be definitely improved. I wouldn't recommend it. Alternatively, a very tasty Pad-thai can be found near the big Sainsbury's at "Thai Hut". This I strongly recommend but is only for lunches. read more

Now this, is a bloody good restaurant. For some reason, I never really think about going for Thai. Not sure why. But now I will. The manageress had bravely taken the reservation for 15 lads on a stag do - little did she know we wouldn't have had an alcoholic drink at this point! Well, I had of course, but the stag was staying firmly sober in the afternoon, just as well Thai Balcony do a Mai Tai for 4.50 then. The fisherman's soup came next, which I can unreservedly say is the best soup I've ever ordered. Intensely hot and spicy, and crammed with crab claws, mussels, clams and what have you, I was very impressed. The main was a decent green curry, and the wine was very drinkable too. All in all, if you're around in Bath anytime, you should definitely come here. read more

Thai iced tea was great, roast duck was absolutely delicious, side of egg fried rice had generous portions, and the chicken red curry was on point (a bit on the spicy side, just be warned)! The espresso + vanilla ice cream for dessert was perfect. Five stars! read more

If you're on the lookout for Thai food in Bath, you're in luck. Recommended by Rick Steves in his "Best of Europe", Thai Balcony happens to be located near the centre of town. One thing about restaurants in Bath (or perhaps England in general) that I learned the hard way is that they close in between lunch and dinner until around 6 pm when most of the restaurants start opening for customers. Unfortunately for hungry Americans like me who are used to eating dinner earlier, most of the stores close at 5 pm during the weekends so there's a 1 hour gap between 5 to 6 where I ended up just sitting around, starving and waiting for restaurants to open. After a long day of touring, my friend and I headed over to Thai Balcony for dinner. The decor was nice, and we were seated near a window with a great view that overlooked the street. At 6 pm, we were the only customers there and found the service to be attentive. The menu offers sets where you can get a starter and an entree, but we were both dying to try the pad thai with prawns, egg, crushed peanut, and bean sprouts. While the dish wasn't exactly authentic, I still found it delicious. In fact, I have to say it was comparable to the pad thai at Madam Mam's in Austin, TX. However for £9.25 a dish, I was expecting a whole lot more and was surprised to find that I was still hungry after finishing the whole plate. Overall, great location & service but still kinda pricey. read more

4 1/2 stars. The Decor is beautiful and clean. The food is Fantastic! If I wasn't visiting I would return multiple times.

The best Thai Restaurant I've been to. Every table taken, and service / food both brilliant! As recommended on here I tried the Fishermans soup. It is indeed incredibly delicious! Couldn't fault it in any way. Will definitely go again read more

Excellent Thai food! A bit spicy for my sister, but the rest of us still greatly enjoyed it! Lovely atmosphere.

this place is great, the atmosphere has that classic slightly tacky tai feel to it (especially now as its been refurbished!) but that just tells u its authentic right? the food is top notch and the service is very pleasant..my own recommendations are the excellent green tai curry and the pad-tai is also one of the best iv had. in my books Bath's best tai. read more

Not quite sure how this place has such a high rating. I'll chalk it up to a small sample size. The Green Curry barely had any veggies and I've had quite a bit better at various pubs throughout London. read more

Great food and great ambiance. The service was quick and courteous and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

Food is good but the service stinks a bit: come on people, try to be nicer, smile sometime and please don't bulshit the customers! We had a reservation on Saturday night at 9.30. A bit late but it didn't seem to be a problem when we booked! We sat and the waitress came to get our orders. I was with italian guests not really use to thai food so we weren't ready as we were still going through the menu. I asked for an extra 2 minutes and the waitress was clearly not really happy about that! Anyway,we ordered and then the waitress mentioned that they would have served our appetizers with the main courses. I was disappointed as I like to eat appetizer before the main gets cold (Am I the only one?) but I also understood when she mentioned that the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes. Ok, fare enough! Not too fare when another couple arrived at 10 pm and they ordered and they got their food (wasn't the kitchen closed already??) and actually another couple arrived at 10.30 pm and they ordered ant they got served (obviously not! They just wanted to rush us out of the place?Tell me that when I book please!) Food is good but I think the service need to be improved! read more

Very good. Expensive, but good value with tasty and generous dishes, served quickly and with lovely service. Also, once your enthusiasm for Thai cuisine has been whiped up, you can nip down stairs and round the corner to their Thai shop, which sells all kind of ingredients to make your own creations at home. We always make sure to pop in and stock up on sticky rice! read more

Good location but food is average, quite small and not cheap, service as usual in these sort of places is aimed at getting you in and out if the door in an hour, useful for per theatre maybe but not for a relaxing meal. read more
