Fun and festive place, with lots of colors and stuff hanging from the ceiling and walls. One table let you sit inside a boat. We stopped in since it was just across the street from our hotel. Service was not very good. Waited a long time for our server, and then our food. Our table was right next to the server station. We looked around and it a lot of people were waiting for their food and just nursing their drinks. It wasn't till I signed the bill accepting their service charge that they said anything friendly! The food was sub par for Thai food. Fairly big portions, but the best part was the spice level of my dish was legit! They didn't ask me to specify a spice level when I ordered, and I forgot to ask, so I ended up with their default. It was spicier than most westernized Thai and on the hairy edge of my tolerance, which is not low! The actual food itself I thought was just OK. read more

Went here without a reservation on a Thursday night and was immediately seated. I ordered the massaman curry (chicken) and the stir fried vegetables. I didn't exactly expect that the curry wouldn't come with rice but the stir fried vegetables worked well with it. The curry had a good amount of chicken. The stir fried vegetables were the highlight - I thought the curry could have been a little further seasoned. read more

When we first walked in, we were overwhelmed by the decor. It didn't necessarily remind us of any particular place in Thailand, but it was a festive environment. At 6:30pm, the blender didn't work, so no smoothies. A dish we ordered turned out to be unavailable. We didn't like any of the dishes. The corn fritters was too dense and didn't have enough corn. The Massaman beef had tough slices of beef, instead of chunks of tender beef. The chicken curry noodle soup was supposed to be lightly spiced. It was too spicy. It was too bad that the food didn't live up to the decor. read more

Service was nice, vibes were good. Rice noodles were not soaked properly before cooking so they were a little under done but the flavor was alright. read more

I'm a bit unsure about this. The food is good. Portion size is generous and the flavours are great. In hindsight, the sharing platter is probably the best option. Starter and main will get you to £30/head. Service was very poor for a quiet Sunday. Easily ten minutes before someone took an order and then we were sort of abandoned. I don't mind a slow pace but two hours for two people to eat is pushing it. Nice inside. Well decorated and lively. Perhaps a different server on a different day would earn more stars. read more

Good Thai food place with unique and fun decor, uncomfortable seating if you get the stool and high table. I got a Tom yum soup which, in hindsight, is probably meant to be shared (it was quite large but tasted rather authentic, and I just returned from Thailand). The food was tasty, my friends mostly ordered their pad Thai and were happily satisfied. Students get 20% off their order, but still isn't the most affordable. I suppose this makes sense since it's within walking distance of most of the Oxford colleges and is near high street. The service was good, the staff were very nice, accommodating, understanding, and attentive. Will visit again read more

Beautiful Thai restaurant in the heart of Oxford! We arrived without any reservation and the staff was very accommodating and opened up the bottom half of the restaurant for us. Visiting from NYC, I did not expect the Thai food to be good anywhere else but I was pleasantly surprised! For appetizers, we shared the Chicken Satay and Vegetable Spring Rolls. Both appetizers were very crispy and flavorful! I got the vegan Pad Thai with tofu for dinner. The Pad Thai was very saucy and tasted less peanuty than traditional Pad Thai. However, the tofu was chewy and the spice level was a little milder than I prefer. I would recommend going a little earlier in the day because they ran out of some of the items we wanted to order (Thai Iced Tea and Plant-based Chicken) read more

Absolutely delicious food, me and my family got a huge bowl of coconut rice and I could've eaten the whole thing! The interior of the restaurant was very interesting. After a long and tiring day in the city, full of old buildings and big sights, the many different details to look at made me feel stimulated and awake again. Thank you for the experience! read more

VERY SPICY. I was with a large group. We all asked for mild spice for our dishes and we were all shocked by how hot and spicy our dishes were. They were laden with red slices of hot peppers. Aside from that the food was good, though the eggplant was undercooked for my taste. read more

Great food. I went multiple times during my short Oxford stay. Would visit again when I have a chance.

A good Thai restaurant in Oxford. My Thai friends brought me there. Using their words "it's not authentic but the food is good". The vibe is really nice here. The service are good too. I personally think the food is pretty good. It's on the sweeter side to fit more people's taste but it's still tasty. The price, on the other hand, is relatively high comparing to all the other Thai restaurants nearby. read more

Went here last night for dinner after eyeing this place, and was kinda disappointed. I went on a weekday after normal dinner hours and the service wasn't great. It was hardly busy too. I will say I love the inside, it's so cool and authentic. I really enjoyed how they tried to make you feel like you were in Thailand, as soon as you enter there's a auto rickshaw to your right and everything else is basically made out of wood. Also love the music choice. I ordered the sukiyaki noodles with tofu and one of their mango vodka cocktails (forgot what it's called I think it's their Phi Phi Bellini?) and was disappointed with the portion size as well as how long it took for it to come out. Also when they came to check up on us after we got our food, it was kind of half-heartedly done. Also surprised that getting water wasn't a given. The food itself however was pretty good. read more

Lovely clean restaurant, quick service amazing food and equally great cocktails! However have only been once, looking forward to returning.

Bring back the chicken wings ! Seriously this place had the best chicken wings in the area. Sadly it is off the menu. The food is good and tasty here. The duck and seafood noodles are done correctly. It could be spicier but I am sure the local customers could not manage if it had some kick to it. So even the spicy are not that spicy. Service has been good both time here. Would come back. read more

Thaikhun is a place for any wanderluster with a love or desire for the east. After spending far too long admiring the ornaments and decorations covering the walls while drinking a Chang beer we started to look at the extensive choices on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegetarian choices with plenty of both vegetable and tofu options. For starter I went for 'Por Pia Sod Tofu' (fresh spring rolls) while my boyfriend went for 'Moo Dad Deow', fried pork marinated in palm sugar, coriander, pepper and soy sauce. While you are dining the experience continues, complete with the waiters/waitresses wearing your typical Thai travelling pants and the authentic music playing in the background. After taking forever to decide on a main I finally went for the Tofu Panang curry with Jasmine rice and my boyfriend went for Kao Ka Prao Gai (chicken with thai basil and chilli). I have to say the Panang curry was incredible; full of spice and so much flavour with the tofu cooked to perfection, I can honestly say it does rival some of the meals that I had in Thailand, it was that good. My boyfriend's comments on his meal pretty much echoed my feelings as well. Despite being extremely full; as always I managed to find space for dessert, because I can not say no to dessert and I especially can not say no to fried bananas and ice cream. My bloated stomach and I regretted nothing. Thaikhun also have an extensive cocktail list in particular the Phi Phi Bellini; mango vodka and passion fruit puree topped with fizzy prosecco, sounds delicious and I will be making a trip back to sample a few. read more

I wish I had more stars to give - the place is amazing! I won a Twitter competition to get a meal for two & what a prize - we were treated to anything we wanted from the menu including drinks - unfortunately both of us were driving do we weren't able to take full advantage of this! We ordered prawn crackers to nibble on while we looked over the menu. We chose three starters to share (chicken satay, fried pork & salt/pepper squid) - the pork was incredible, we couldn't get enough of it!! For my main I had the panang goong (prawn curry) with coconut rice - again totally delicious. To finish we shared a mango sorbet & coconut ice cream which we really didn't need as we were both so full but it was lovely. I washed all this down with a gin cooler & a mango smoothie. The atmosphere & decor in the place was fantastic with do much to look at all around the place. I would highly recommend visiting on your birthday as you will be treated to happy birthday being sung to you at your table - ooh and definitely order the self serving beer pump for your table!!!! read more

Got there at 6:15 on a Monday evening. Short wait, seated within 5 mins. Had the spring roll appetizer, pad thai chicken, pad mee Phuket tofu. Pad Thai was good but the pad mee Phuket was outstanding. Will return. read more

Pad Thai and noodles with vegetables were both delicious. Both were a little sweeter tasting than expected, but very tasty with a little chili sauce. I would recommend either of those dishes. The mango sticky rice was interesting- the rice was very sticky (almost gluey) and I would not get it again. read more

Standard home cooking, simple and fresh. The coconut rice we ordered had a strong coconut fragrance and taste to it, proper stuff! The stir fry is fresh and standard - a little bit salty but coconut rice neutralised it well. The chicken skewers were a little dry but marinated well before cooking. There were two sauce dishes provided with the skewers, one was the standard satay sauce, but I want to mention is the second sauce, it is clear watery looking, with tiny bits of chopped carrots inside, but the light pickle-y and sour taste of this sauce together with the satay really transformed the skewers! I'm surprised with this new flavour! Overall, the skewers + 1 dish + rice came to £20, not the cheapest for the quality. Overall solid 3 stars. read more

Had a craving for Thai food, so came in here, and it seemed like many others thought the same - it was pretty ram packed. We were lucky to be offered a table when we came in, as on the way out others had to hang around the upstairs waiting. The decorations in this place are worth seeing in itself, many items seem to be transplanted straight from a Bangkok marketplace. Definitely makes for an amusing gander whilst waiting for food. Some of the staff also wear some Thai style pants/trousers, which adds to the charm. I had stir fried pork while my friend took the green curry, both dishes came with jasmine rice. The pork was quite spicy, though they do warn in the menu. We also had fish 'cakes' which actually resembled meat balls, they weren't anything special in my opinion however, and didn't really taste anything of fish. The staff here were friendly, but a bit forgetful (had to ask for water a couple of times), possibly given how busy it was that night, but that's understandable. My friend lost something here, but they found it and offered to mail it back via post, so some good customer relations there! read more

We ordered the spring rolls, a fried chicken with coconut rice dish, and 2 glasses of wine. Service 5 stars! We had very fast, very good service. Also, the restaurant is very very cute inside as well as warm and cozy. If your looking for a nice place to rest up and hang out, or get in and out fast, this place would be great! It may have been our choices as the curry dishes next to us looked much better (more authentic/flavorful/complex) than what we had ordered. The fried spring rolls were totally edible, but I would not call them good. The same comment goes for our fried chicken. It was basically similar to chicken Katsu but with no sauce. The 'coconut rice' served with the dish was white rice with a bit of coconut flavor/milk on top. They also only had a couple wines on the menu, another bad choice on our part as they obviously put more effort into their beer and cocktail lists. I think had we ordered differently this place would have been a solid 4 stars. read more

I was debating between 4/5 stars over price point, but this place just isn't four stars. I'll start off with the caveat that this place isn't cheap. I originally was planning on going to Noodle Nation but had a last minute craving for good Thai dessert. The restaurant interior is beautiful and while slightly trite has plenty of art and decor that remind you of Thailand (one of the seats resembles the floating market boat). The restaurant is always upbeat and simultaneously spacious amongst it's 2.5 floors (hard for restaurants to achieve this duality). I asked the waitress for recommendations, and she was honest and spot on. There's nothing I love more than when a waiter or waitress are decisive and right. Per her recommendation, I chose the sukiyaki noodles over the pad Thai and couldn't be happier with my decision. It was absolutely delicious, and I'm definitely coming back. The service was extremely quick for a sit down, and I was able to get in and out within 35 minutes. Had I not also ordered the fried banana, that would have been 25 minutes. I recommend going with a friend or two and going family style but warn you the food may be too delicious for you to share. read more

Thaikhun - Noodles and soda! (£9.50 for noodles, £2.50 for soda) - Thai Near Me - Oxford, OXF

I found Thaikhun to have perfectly acceptable Thai food. It's not the best Thai food that I've ever had, but it definitely is okay. I think it's a bit westernised and not as authentic as it could be, but the vibe inside and the props are kinda nice to have. Usually when I go, I get the pad thai--it's simple, and it's hard to go wrong with it. I also ask for some cut chilli, which they are happy to do for you if you'd like a bit of spice with your meal! On my last visit, I shared one of their suggested shared meals. You could pick a variety of items, and we ended up getting the Massaman Chicken Curry, the Chilli and Thai Basil Beef, and the noodles with beef. They were all quite tasty (though likely not super authentic), and came with a rice! A good amount of spice and amount of food too (though keep in mind there were only 2 of us...and a third who kept "trying" our dishes). I'd definitely be down to go back to Thaikhun, but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to get a meal there. read more

Took a party of six here for a birthday meal. Even though it was a busy Friday evening, we received excellent service. One of our party has a number of food allergies and the manager went out of her way to make sure the selections were appropriate, even down to singling out individual items in the sharing platters. Great stuff. The table was ready when we arrived, the food came quickly and it was a nice, bustling atmosphere. We would definitely come again. read more

After a long day's work, I came to Thaikhun and enjoyed a mojito and pad Thai. I was starving, so I scarfed down pretty much everything in sight; but the food left something to be desired. After we finished eating, it took a while to track down our waiter and get the bill, and while we were waiting there was a foul stench coming from who knows where... read more

I had already eaten Thai earlier in the week, so I figured this time I would try a different place. I should gone back to Chiang Mai. The food here is "fine". I did not find it particularly memorable. I ordered the fried pork appetizer and the Pad Thai. Neither had much flavor. So, nope. If you want legit Thai go to Chiang Mai. That place is great. Just my humble opinion. read more

Stopped in during a few day visit to Oxford and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was. The atmosphere is great, really gives a 'Thai' feeling with all the decorations around. There was six of us and the bill was less than 100 pounds, which was a surprised, I was expecting a bigger bill. If I visit Oxford again, i would be sure to stop by and sample something else on the menu. read more

3.5 stars. Located within the Oxford University campus. We went there for dinner on our last night in UK. The customers were mostly students. The food here was below average, but the ambience made up for it. They had all kind of Thai stuff on display, even a Tuk Tuk was on display. read more

Thaikuhn is a great spot to escape Oxford and pretend you've taken a trip to Bangkok. The interior is loaded with signs in Thai and unique decor. We sat next to a table who's bench was made from an old fishing boat. With that said, you are definitely paying for the decorations at this place. Expect to pay more than your local Thai restaurant. However, the service we had was lightning quick. We ordered a Thai Red Curry and Tom Yum soup and received our dishes within 10 minutes. Both dishes were served in authentic-looking plates/bowls. The quality of the dishes was great: portions are average-sized. This is definitely a place to visit to unwind at the end of the week with a group of friends. Somewhat expensive, but a fun experience. read more

We were feeling like having Thai food for a good few days now and jumped at the first opportunity that came our way. Whilst beginning our wander around Oxford, we came across Thaikun just when we were starting to feel peckish, around lunch time. So, yes, we didn't need to think twice. We opted for chicken satay, thai green curry, massaman chicken curry, a sticky rice and a jasmine rice. The food was delicious and the service was commendable. The restaurant itself was made to look like a busy street in Bangkok and the set up worked. Overall we were satisfied enough to go back again or to try one of their branches closer to home and would definitely recommend Thaikhun. read more

Fantastic meal here! I was slightly sceptical of the high reviews here, remembering this location being a cheesy student spot with the Old Orleans restaurant. But I was pleased to be proved wrong as the food was fantastic - and super spicy. Portions were not huge, but I still had enough left over for a snack! The decor elements are kitschy and fun, and people looked like they were all having a great time ;) read more

Almost always great service, and the food here is the real gem. Killer pad Thai, basil rice, etc - everything I've tried has exceeded expectations. It can be a bit crowded but is also open delightfully late for the area and has often saved me from going hungry when I put dinner off too long. read more
