    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

    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!

    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.

    Craved something healthy so I ordered delivery through Deliveroo & was delivered on time & in-tact…read more Ordered the beet salad with apples, nuts & goat cheese. The salad was large enough to feed two people, & there was only one of me! Loved the flavor & felt good eating it! Goat cheese & produce were incredibly fresh. Came with bread/butter on the side - as an American it looked like banana bread - however it was NOT (sad face); it was a plain loaf. Bread was okay; if it's made in-house, then I'll give em more credit! -1 star because I wish there was more crunch (nuts + apples).

    The food here was fantastic and very reasonably priced at the same time! For anyone who likes…read morehealthy food, salads or who has certain diet restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, paleo etc), then I'd really recommend this place! For salads and sandwiches you can choose from the menu or make your own by selecting ingredients from the deli. They have a bigger choice than regular deli to include things like roast and smoked salmon, chickpeas, beetroot, cherry tomatoes in addition to the usual stuff. You can also choose between a lettuce or pasta base if ordering salad. They also have a nice breakfast and brunch menu, as well as hot mains like noodles, quesadilla, stews and soup. Prices are overall pretty cheap, you can eat here for less than €10. The staff were pretty nice, not much to say there, and the cafe itself was fairly clean with nice seating. However it does get full at lunch time on weekdays since it's near the hospital, but they do take aways as well.

    Had a delicious dinner last night at Kai. 8:30pm reservation and the place was quite busy still…read more Service was terrific, glad we took a taxi from town Centre as it wasn't clear where one would park otherwise. 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! Had to take the sesame brittle to go Kai just came out with their cookbook this year which is a very good read. I highly recommend both Kai when in Galway and the cookbook for when you're not!

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.

    The Kitchen…read more I tried some of the sparking berry lemon drink, which was perfectly sweetened and delicious! It was beautiful in color and the fresh lemon in it made it look even better. It was extremely refreshing and would pair well with nearly any drink. I ordered the veggie plate, see picture below. I asked for it to be made vegan of course! I unfortunately can't remember the exact name of the dish because i can't find a full menu online. This dish was extremely delicious! All of the vegetables were fresh and nothing was too salty. If anything it tasted a little on the bland side in terms of saltiness. But I loved it!!!! This dish truly made me feel as if I was nourishing my body with wholesome pure foods. See pictured a wrap as well, which I also don't know the name to. However, I didn't try this dish. So I can't speak of the taste of it. I recommend checking out the museum attached to this restaurant because it's FREE and has great history of Ireland! I loved this entire center center and am so happy with the plethora of vegan options all around!

    My first meal in Galway and it's a winner, big time…read more I had the crispy curried chicken salad - roasted and fried chicken that comes with a crispy potato skin salad, pickled courgette with Moroccan harissa... enough said ;-) Oh, let me attach a picture of the best salad ever, you know... just to invoke feelings of jealous among other Yelpers. And it only cost €9.70... I rest my case. Service was excellent too - they did bring out a chicken wrap by mistake but rectified it very quickly with plenty of apologies. If you manage to nab a table outside, you'll have a fine view of the Spanish Arch and the Corrib River - and then walk your meal off at the adjoining fantastic Galway museum!
