As always, the food was divine. Utilizing the Bedford location for the last couple of visits. Glad we returned it to the original. The best around. read more

I had fried rice with shrimp added - medium hot. It was excellent and pretty hot, so just right for me (but I'm glad I didn't ask for extra hot). It was a huge amount of good, fresh food - and a LOT of shrimp! Recommended! read more

Will recommend Can't wait to return to try other stuff on the menu From the very beginning our experience at this place was nothing but pleasant from the man, server, bartender, whichever name you want to give him sat us down. He was very helpful. very pleasant informed us that all the ingredients were fresh and cooked to order. The restaurant was medium and size nothing spectacular but the food made the atmosphere very worth going in! Due to the ingredients being freshly made at order time, it took a little bit longer for us to get the food, but I am willing to wait that time for our next time there the portion size was enough for me to have my dinner and take home and have a lunch. It was piping hot. I thought the flavors of the food were very fresh tasting. I could've used a little bit more flavoring on the steak, but I just chose to eat it as is. The price for two meals plus an appetizer and no drinks was $47 and that included the tip very very reasonable Here's a little update we did return and at the second seating we had the drunken noodle which was absolutely wonderful and we also had the peanut pad Thai with beef and there was beef added to the drunken noodle again I can't say how excited I am to come back and try more options read more

I ordered the Basil Fried Rice and the gyoza through DoorDash, and I have to say--I was genuinely impressed. I've only had basil fried rice once before from a place back in Oklahoma City, so I was excited to see how this version compared. It absolutely delivered. The flavors were bold, fresh, and incredibly satisfying. I will say the spice level was a bit higher than I usually prefer, but it was still so good that I powered through every bite. The heat didn't take away from the experience at all; if anything, it added to the richness of the flavor. Next time, I'll simply ask for a little less spice, and I have no doubt it will be perfect. The gyoza deserves its own shout-out--perfectly cooked, great texture, and wonderfully flavorful. Exactly what you hope for when you order gyoza. Overall, this was a fantastic meal, even via delivery. Highly recommended, and I'm already planning what to try next time. read more

I ordered the drunken noodle - it was honestly quite mediocre...the way it looks is the way it tasted - thrown together. You can tell that it was cooked in a hurry on high. The meat was overcooked noodles weren't cut - at one point I had a sheet of noodle...some of the veggies were undercooked and were hard. The only thing that I genuinely thought was ok was the Thai iced tea. Service was quick...but as you can see so was the quality of the food. Anyways the interior reminded me of a bar. read more

This was a great Thai dining experience! The interior is warm and inviting with a cool ambiance and a mix of booth and table seating. The staff were super friendly - the bartender came over and explained how he literally dreamed up of their fall cocktails! I tried both fall cocktails - the Dr Eggnog and the pumpkin martini. Both were excellent!! We tried the crab rangoon and the gyoza starters. I preferred the latter as the former's filing had a somewhat odd flavor. We tried the chicken pad thai and the yellow chicken curry entrees. Both were exceptional!! I truly loved the curry best of all, though. Such a delicious and complex dish with a wonderful mix of flavors. Best curry I've ever had!! We tried the fried ice cream dessert. It was ok. Honestly the coating was a bit bland and slightly oily. I'm not sure if we'd get that dessert again. Overall, though, it was a delicious meal!! read more

Ordered take out. Pad See Ew, wanted Chinese broccoli added. They charged me for it, of course got back to where I was going with my food.... It wasn't added. read more

Pretty good Thai food - more of a fusion place that also offers Chinese and Japanese cuisine. I'll admit I was a touch skeptical having Thai in NH and it's not the most authentic, but dinner was solid. Crab rangoons were fried nicely and served piping hot. The khao soi was a generous portion, but was lacking a bit of depth (missing/not a lot of fish sauce) and did not come with pickled mustard greens or a lime to brighten the curry broth. We requested a lime wedge so that helped round it out a bit. The space was casual and clean - a long narrow room with the bar and kitchen on one side and a mix of seating (booths, 2 and 4 tops) on the other side. Service was okay - server was nice, but a touch slow and the bartender was super friendly. Decent spot to scratch my curry noodle itch after a day of hiking! read more

Food is delicious. The service is a 10/10. And the prices are very fair. If you enjoy a drink with your dinner, the bartender Alex is the best. Not only are his drinks made to perfection, but his personality make a person feel welcomed and like an old friend. read more

Great lunch specials up until 3! 11.99 GREEN curry is VERY spicy but oh so good! It was exactly what I was craving, it burned the perfect amount, the curry wasn't too thick or too watery. The lunch portion was more than fair, left me stuffed! The servers were really great and constantly checked up on me and my food. read more

An hidden gem, as it doesn't appear to be serious Thai: but the Pad Thai was one of the best I've had, and the Curry Duck was superb. The owners are definitely Thai, and you can see them working the staff (and explains the quality)! read more

We recently moved here from the West Coast. There we're used to quality Thai cuisine. We tried this place for dinner tonight and were quite impressed. The offer an extensive menu with a great selection of Thai classics. Alex, our server was fantastic. Very personable and affable. Great asset for the restaurant. We were also quite pleased with the size of the portions for the cost. To us. The costs are reasonable and in line with what we used to pay. However, the portion size is much larger. What is important, is the owner is also the chef. She must work incredible hours and having her on the wok reinforces the quality and authenticity of the food. Would love to hear some music in the restaurant. Check out the lofi Spotify playlists. read more

This was one of the best meals we have ever had in Manchester NH! It is in a more lively and updated area of the city with newer apartments and other stores/restaurants. The inside is hip and our server was fast and efficient. I loved my pad thai with chicken it was super fresh and perfectly flavored. The curry was good and the rice was so aromatic and fluffy. All the food was great and the drinks for the fall were awesome. They were crafted by the bartender who came to our table about how he dreamt them up and they were both amazing. The only thing was the boba tea.....the boba was undercooked and dry inside so nearly inedible. Thai tea itself was good however. I would return for sure next time I am in this area. Loved it and so glad we took a chance on somewhere new. read more

As a recently New England implant I had almost lost hope to find delicious food. This restaurant restored my faith back into New Hampshire. The Yellow Curry was delicious with the right amount of spice. Our server checked in us without crowding us. I was also very happy to see the open ceiling and not a drop ceiling. Hands down this will be one of my go to restaurant in Manchester. read more

Stopped here on a whim while in the area solo, grabbed a seat at the bar, and was incredibly happy with my choice. It was a bit quiet while I was there, but the menu options were enticing, and the Green Curry Miso Ramen was excellent. The venue is fairly simple, brightly lit, welcoming, no frills. Not a place where you'd hang around for a few rounds after dinner, but an excellent place to get some good food before such plans. read more

This is my go-to takeout spot. I've moved a lot and this stands out as some of the best Thai food I've found. The chili pad thai is always my default, but I've enjoyed everything I've tried. We usually get delivery, but dining in is also a great experience with a perfect location on Elm Street. read more

The place was small but busy. It has a hipster feel to it but in a small diner/bar setting. It was very unique. The food is not authentic Thai but it comes close. It was absolutely delicious however. I truly enjoyed the tofu and pork gyoza app. I ordered the krapow with beef and it was beef slices (the unauthentic Thai part) and egg was additional but that's ok. I truly admired the style and cooking style of the place. The food was well made and delicious. I appreciate the service as well. The hostess/server was highly attentive and made sure the orders were made properly. I appreciated that. Thank you. read more

The food here is great, but after several dine in experiences it's clear to me that Thai Connection prioritizes its takeout business. One server also attends the phone and packs the delivery bags. We definitely felt neglected and our food didn't come out as quickly as it should have. For what they do they could probably save a lot of money not renting a full on restaurant space on Elm St. read more

Superb - SUPERB Thai eatery in the heart of Manchester. We came here for lunch with a party of 10. We enjoyed ourselves a bunch with excellent service and awesome food. The Connection is in the heart of Manchester, with plenty of parking and quite accessible to the interstate. Our table was ready and we sat to order appetizers and drinks first. They have a good selection of Asian beers such as Sapporo, Singha and others although I chose a local Smuttynose IPA. My down was the Spicy Udon Chicken that was delicious. That Food Connection is a great place for lunch. Next we'll have to try its dinner menu. read more

I am very critical when it comes to good thai food and have never realized this restaurant even existed right in the heart of Manchester. We took our food for takeout, but I got very excited to eat when I saw other customers in the restaurant eating. The ramen bowls looked divine and made me a little upset I didn't order one, so I did. The fried rice was fully of veggies and rice was cooked perfectly, not too dry and with the right amount of taste. The takeout ramen bowl had the fillings separated from the broth to prevent sogginess. The "mild" curry still had a kick to it. Looking forward to trying more of their menu another time. read more

Love their Chicken pad see ew it's so yummy.The wait to get takeout sometime can go past your expected time when it's busy.

Food: I've tried the chicken pad Thai, duck buns, and banana rolls. All were well cooked and delicious! The pad Thai was some of the best I've tried. The duck bun was well balanced in flavors. The banana roll was tasty and managed to keep the great flavor of a fresh banana that can sometimes get cooked out. Service: The service here was good. Nothing out of the ordinary. Ambience: The tables a decently spaced and comfortable. read more

I ordered over the phone the Shiitake Bao Bun appetizers and Tomyam soup vegan style with tofu. The person that look my order was pleasant and verified with the kitchen staff that the broth for the Tomyam would/could be made vegan. Food was ready for pickup by the quoted time. The food was served hot and the ingredients used appeared and tasted fresh. I enjoyed my food very much. It's not the most authentic (depth of flavor) tasting Thai I've consumed but it is delightful. However, I would have to think twice about returning only due to location. I am not a fan of having to find and pay for parking, especially when ordering to-go. Nonetheless, the prices are reasonable, food is tasty and I recommend others try give this restaurant a try. read more

Great place for lunch! The green curry and spring rolls were delicious. Good service and will definitely be back.

The pad Thai was pretty good. I felt the noodles were a bit over cooked and soggy, but it had really good flavor and a hint of sweetness. The server wasn't too friendly which didn't make the experience as good as it could've been. The pricing was pretty standard and there was free street parking. I didn't have too hard a time finding parking, but it was a weeknight around 7. It's probably pretty hard to find parking at peak times and weekends. read more

Unbelievable Thai food. I placed a huge order for about 11 people and had 4 bags of takeout so we tried a ton of things there! The coconut soup (Tom Kha): 5/5 absolutely phenomenal -- probably one of the best things we ordered Vegetable gyoza: 5/5 dipping sauce is very spicy tho if you're not into that Pork gyoza: 5/5 same dipping sauce but it was just so well done Crying tiger: 4/5 it was good but it's basically just pork! Beef noodle soup: 5/5 flavor was excellent and reminded me a lot of Vietnamese pho Fried rice: 4/5 great fried rice but I felt like the chicken was a little dry. Could use a good sauce or just eat it with your curry Pad Thai: 5/5 enough said Yellow curry: 5/5 the perfect yellow curry! Green curry: 5/5 this was my personal favorite!! Had tons of amazing vegetables and flavors (it's pretty spicy) Massaman curry: 5/5 good, solid curry choice Also, one more note. The service was excellent. The staff there were so kind and friendly! They helped me carry the bags out to the car. The overall experience was great. If you're a Thai food fanatic, stop by! And if not, this is the perfect place to try some great Thai food! read more

Honestly, such a hidden gem!!! We live in Boston and drove by Manchester. Who knew Manchester would have such tasty Thai food?? Boston has great Thai food, but I think Thai Food Connection is my personal favorite in the New England area. My favorites are the lamb shank curry! The lamb just fell right off the bone - it was insane. The beef noodle soup is also amazing. Similar to the lamb, the beef was just so tender. (We later tried chicken and it was good but not nearly as good). The broth is just what we needed on a chilly evening. The pad thai is also very flavorful and saucier than I normally have, but I prefer it this way. The service is overall very friendly and am rooting for the business to do well! We loved the place so much that we came back the following weekend! It was that good!! I don't normally revisit restaurants this soon, but this place was worth it! Def worth the try in Manchester! read more

Impressed, my first order for lunch, Drunken Noodles- a very nice combination of green & red peppers, onion, snap pea, carrots, fresh basil, chicken and some noodles. Refreshing with a noodle content at 25-30% of the meal. Can't wait to go back. Convenient Downtown Elm St location. Only negative, didn't get a napkin or fork/chopsticks on a to go order, I'll ask next time. read more

Did the Panang Curry for takeout and the flavors are out of this world. Asked for spicy and it was rock star perfect...

For being a fairly new establishment this place has quickly rose to being one of the better restaurants on Elm St, so much do they were able to open a second location in the neighboring town. My experience here was amazing, the staff were very inviting and kind, while being efficient and helpful with the menu. This was awesome given that I myself am a newbie to Thai cuisine. The food itself was heaven, I had gotten this curry dish which the server recommended and my stomach was truly grateful. I am so happy this restaurant opened up and definitely plan on coming back! read more

Wish it was closer to home but the 35 minute drive will definitely be worth it when we return! Stopped here for supper on a Friday night...having never been before, I asked the server to ask the chef to "make me whatever they think is the best dish they make". I was not disappointed! I ended up with a steaming hot bowl of beef short rib ramen. The short rib was falling apart tender, the spice level was perfect for me and the vegetables were tender crisp. Service was great even though the restaurant got pretty busy just after we arrived. We'll be back! read more
