Danielle V.

Very impressed with the food here. We had been having Irish food all week so we wanted to do something different and this didn't disappoint! We got a couple apps and a main dish to split and everything was super affordable and tasted delicious. Very pretty place as well. Service was quick and friendly. If I lived here I would eat here a lot!

Place is beautiful inside. Food was ok not like the Thai food in ny. The Thai waitress was so rude. No clue why Asked her for soy sauce and she slammed it on the table. Either way is a cute mix up for food in Ireland

Right by the Spanish arch the exterior is all stones and ancient but inside it's modern and comfortable. Service was efficient the food came out quickly and was very good. Great place for Thai in Galway

Red curry with vegetables and white rice
Archana R.

Felt like some good Thai food and had researched some places ahead of my trip, and Thai garden was on my list! Ordered the red curry and a side of white rice. I finished the entire thing! It was really delicious. I won't dock points for this as it doesn't take away from the quality of the food but while I was there, there was a weird banging noise coming from next door or above. It was consistent and loud and the table next to me was also getting annoyed by it. Not sure they were informed what that was but I wasn't so it was just a bit odd. But again, it's the food that's the most important! I'd like to come by again before I leave!

If you are looking to experience amazing Thai Cuisine in the City of Galway, Ireland. I highly recommend Thai Garden.Upon entering I was made feel very welcome. All the appetizers and Entree tasted amazing! Thai Garden is a must visit if you love Thai Cuisine. The restaurant is very clean and has very clean rest rooms. The staff are all very professional and genuinely care about their customers. It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland, lived in the United States for over thirty years and served with the United States Marines all over the world. I definitely know a great Thai Restaurant from all my travels and life experiences. You definitely won't be disappointed. I definitely will return in the near future. Thai Garden rates five stars and more!

Massaman Curry
Gabriel H.

It's an excellent Thai restaurant, even without lowering the bar for Asian food considering it's West Ireland. This is really really good Thai food, coming from a Thai-American who has grown up eating Thai. Serving sizes are plenty and prices are reasonable considering that. Dishes are around 13-17 Euros. This is a white cloth table kind of place, but people were wearing jeans and such. Everything we ordered was tasty! Pad See Ew With Beef - stir fried noodles with soy sauce and beef. See Ew means Soy Sauce in Thai. The seasoning of this dish was spot on - most places make it too sweet. I normally don't enjoy this dish because it's basic, but I really liked this rendition. Massaman Curry with Chicken - This is a "Muslim" style Thai curry which comes with peanuts. It's sweeter and a good curry for people who haven't eaten many Thai curries. The sauce was rich from coconut milk, but the flavor from the curry paste was there. Again, a perfectly seasoned dish. Pad Ka Prao Pork - A classic Thai stir fry of pork with chilies, basil and fish sauce. I ordered this Thai spicy and IT WAS! There were three types of chilies in this dish and it was even making me sweat. My guess is that the owners are from Southern Thailand so they're not kidding around here. It was a good portion size and went heavenly on top of fresh steamed jasmine rice. Definitely one of the better Thai meals I've had outside of Thailand and the spiciest meal I've had in Ireland. It hasn't passed 24 hours since I've eaten there and I'm still dreaming about that Pad KaPrao... Service was gracious and quick. They checked in on us to make sure everything was good. If I find myself in Galway again, I'd definitely come back.

Deep Fried Seafood ~ Three Flavour Sauce ~ Garlic ~ Chilies ~ Crispy Noodles 16.20 Eur- Sauce came apart

We went to the restaurant before and it was pretty good. We decided to order some food for delivery. It was atrocious and a rip off. The seabass was dry (2 pieces received- only 1 on the picture). No vegetables or fruit added. I dared to complain and according to the person that answered my email, what I got was what I ordered. It was an 16Eur main course No, I definitely won't go back even for a free meal. The picture tells all.

Good place to mix it up from the typical Irish cuisine. Tom Yam was really good with Prawns.

Food 4 Thought - Vegetarian Breakfast Platter & Chai Latte (with oat milk)

Was roaming around the Saturday market and discovered this cafe nearby. Ordered a vegetarian…read morebreakfast platter (+ avocado) and a Chai latte (with oat milk since they were out of soy). Both were excellent and very filling. The cafe is located just off the busy street and has some some outdoor seating. The window seating is great for people-watching. They have both books and newspapers as decorations/available for reading around the cafe. There's also two small restrooms (men and women, but they're individual rooms anyways). The staff were nice and the place was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

I loved the outdoor seating that allows you to take in the air, the narrow streetways, the buildings that have stood here for centuries. While we could only do outdoor seating at the time due to the COVID-19 lockdown measures, this turned out to be quite the good fortune. Where we sat was a nice spot to see the various people walking down the street, engage in conversation, all the while enjoying a cafe Americano and some tasty baked goods like brownies and shortbread with chocolate on top. If you know where to walk from the Eyre Square, it's a great find, moderately priced, and very tasty eats. Hopefully, the next time I can have some of the hot dishes they also offer when we return to Galway.

This is such a fabulous farm-to-table brunch spot and a must if you're ever in Galway. The service was wonderful and we went with the two dishes their staff recommended which are their brunch burrito and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. Both were insanely good, but the real showstopper was their famous Bloody Mary! The decor is so fun with funky light fixtures and brightly colored art on the walls making it so welcoming. Pro tip is to come later in the afternoon to squeeze into their last seating of the day and skip the long queue at prime brunch hours!

Cozy and interesting interior and noise level fine for conversation. The food was fabulous, especially after several nights of pub food. - Hapi bread and butter - 5/5 three kinds of bread all delicious and it is true, hard not to eat it all and get full before the very large main dishes arrive! - sole with samphire and cherry tomatoes - 5/5 outstanding fish on the bone, delicate flavors and a HUGE portion that I could not finish - strip steak - 5/5 my partner thoroughly enjoyed his steak - Steve's leaves - 5/5 this was a very delicious collection of slightly dill cucumber pieces, lettuce leaves, pomegranate seeds, cherry tomatoes, fennel, dill with a light dressing - refreshing! - side potatoes - 4/5 solid offering but nothing special - coconut and apricot sorbet with black and white sesame brittle - 5/5 a light and tasty way to finish off a very filling meal!

Opened in 2011 by chef Jess Murphy and her husband, Dave, Kai has become one of Galway's most celebrated restaurants. While it doesn't have a Michelin star for fine dining, it has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and Ireland's only Michelin Green Star, recognizing both its outstanding food and commitment to local, sustainable ingredients. What impressed me most wasn't just how delicious everything tasted. Every plate looked like it belonged in an art gallery. We started with the Kelly oysters and Kai's signature Cupla Crab. The crab looked more like a modern sculpture than dinner, and the flavors were every bit as impressive as the presentation. The rainbow carrots may have been the best carrots I've ever eaten. And when a restaurant serves bread as good as Kai's Hapi Bakery loaf with incredible butter, it's easy to fill up before the entrées even arrive. For the mains, Brady's Strip Steak was perfectly charred and incredibly tender, while the signature Black Sole was outstanding. The Andarl pork chop was the only dish that didn't quite reach the same level, as we found it just a touch dry. The oregano potatoes made a hearty side for the table. Dessert finished the evening on a high note. Mum's Pavlova was almost too beautiful to eat, and my Smokey Teeling Whiskey Fudge & Espresso was the perfect ending.
