Great menu selection, dishes were served quite fast. I enjoyed waiters service through out the visit. If weather is good i would only go for table outside in their balcony! read more

As I'm not familiar with Guildford, one of my nursing colleagues recommended Thai Terrace to me as a nice venue to meet a friend Its location just off the High Street on the 7th floor of a multi storey car park may not sound the most salubrious. However, the attractions of being so high up are obvious once you're up there (there's a lift if your legs don't fancy the walk up) - you get a lovely view and on the evening I visited, I saw Guildford Cathedral looking all pretty and lit up They've made a real effort to make the rrestaurant feel an oasis from the harsh reality of the concrete car park and the moment you step in, you're greeted with an authentic 'Namaste' from the staff with the traditional Thai hand together greeting. The decor is great, from the Koi pond to the lovely relaxing bar area with lots of comfy sofas. My friend and I were almost too comfortable to want to move through for our meal! We started with grilled chicken with a sweet chilli sauce. The chicken was nicely moist and enhanced by the sauce. The star of our main courses was the mixed seafood dish, which had lovely large pieces of fish, sweet scallops, prawns and squid. We also had a subtly and sympathetically spiced pork with aubergine. The chicken pad thai arrived with a unique lacey crepe covering the noodles. The pad thai was probably the most ordinary of the dishes. A solid Thai restaurant with a great ambiance and lovely view read more

Business dinner for 6 1. Absolutely stunning views of Guildford. Night time ambiance is really nice 2. Service was outstanding. It was very attentive, pouring beverages without even asking! 3. Food was rock solid. Very tasty. Menu is huge some spend some time exploring. Sampler appetizer was a good plate of small bites if you cannot make up your mind If you are in Guildford, I would mark this as a place to visit - lunch or dinner read more

One of my favorite Thai restaurant in this area. I usually have dinner here once a month with my family/friends. The service is great, the food is always taste incredible and authentic which remind me of home. Starters here are so delicious as well as the dessert, you shouldn't miss fried icecream which taste delightful. It's crispy and warm outside but the icecream still cold and not melted inside, the smell of coconut icecream is just the best! Pad Thai is also one if the popular dish which me and my friends need to order every time we come. The noodles are soft and chewy and also a bit juicy, this is real authentic Thai taste. I just love it so must. read more

3 of us came here for lunch with James' 14 month old nephew. The staff are really friendly and the service excellent. They treated the baby like a prince, taking him off to see the fish and to play with him while we ate and chatted. They even fed him, cuddled him and cooed over him keeping him fully occupied and entertained. The food itself was some of the best thai food I've had. between us we had a shared starter of black sesame crackers with peanut sauce, wonton and for mains, 1 chicken and 1 squid Pad See Eiw (complete noodle dish) and 1 Gai Phad Med Mamung. All were delicious and packed with flavour. Including coffees and a large bottle of mineral water it came to £45.50. [note that access to the restaurant is tricky - you go into the car park and take the lift to the 7th floor]. read more

The Thai Terrace - Thai Near Me - Guildford, SRY

Fantastic restaurant, the staff are very helpful and attentive with eagle eyes. Only takes a raised eyebrow in their direction to get them to appear like magic. Great food, no wonder the place is always packed. Book early especially at weekends. It seems the other reviewers did not find the lift. No need to climb stairs at all. The lift takes you right the way to the top and then you just take about 20 steps round the corner to the reception area. They even have some ducks who have taken up residency in their little terrace pond. read more

Excellent meal, huge variety of dishes. Lovely ambience and helpful, friendly staff. Got an outside table on the Rooftop deck so the views were fabulous too.... would recommend, but book first! read more

Was visiting Guildford for business and the local hotel staff raved about this restaurant. While I wasn't necessarily looking for Thai food in the suburbs of London, it was certainly better-sounding than the bland pub fare that I had been subjecting myself to in a pointless attempt to eat as the locals do. I was pleasantly surprised that my preconceptions were wrong. The restaurant is on the top floor of one of the taller buildings in Guildford (not very tall by any other standard), so it affords you a great view of the town. The outdoor seating is a great touch. Thai Terrace serves up some really delicious food. The menu is large, and it's great to share, so I recommend ordering family style and sampling a little bit of everything. The desserts were also really excellent. There wasn't a single course that I found disappointing. On to the negatives: most of the wait staff appears to be just off the boat, which made ordering at the bar a bit challenging. When we were seated, though, they provided a waiter with an American accent, which was quite helpful, albeit a bit comical. And about that bar: it's pretty bad (though the wine list makes up for it). They have a huge list of cocktails, but most of them are fruity or unappetizing-sounding, or both. I literally explained how to make the cocktail I wanted to the bartender but he wasn't inclined to go off-menu, so I ended up with straight whiskey. Overall, the Thai Terrace was a great dining experience and I'll definitely go back if fate ever lands me in Guildford again. read more

This is the best Thai restaurant I've personally been to & definitely the biggest! Being situated on top of a multistorey carpark doesn't sound like the most romantic setting but does give one quite a different take on inviting someone along! If you want an intimate night out with you beloved (or someone else's!) be prepared for a lot of company - this place seats well over a hundred diners & usually does. This place gets busy! If on foot you can approach from the High St by turning down the alley below The Tudor Rose until you get to the Sydenham Rd carpark. The restaurant has its own lift. Being so high up means you get great views across Guildford including the floodlit cathedral in the evenings. Smokers don't have to return to earth because there is a large outside area with plenty of seating & a covered corner. There's also a large seating space opposite the bar. The restaurant was noted for handing out handheld vibrating plastic buzzers to waiting cutomers - I'm not sure if they still do! Seating so many people, you may question the efficiency of the (many) staff. Fear not, this restaurant runs like clockwork with the waiters & waitresses wearing walky talkies aided by a person outside the kitchen who looks to be checking the orders. The staff have always been very friendly & helpful. There are also enough of them to regularly refil your glasses & attend to you culinary requirements. Now to the most important bit - the food! One word describes it - stunning! So much so, I think this is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. One thing that stands out is that the Thai Terrace has remained brilliant time & time again. I've been to many restaurants that have been excellent but have failed to met my high expectations on consequent visits. Although not particularly cheap the prices aren't outrageous either. read more

amazing service, beautiful views and mouthwatering food! my favourite place in guildford

The food, service and the view was stunning! make sure you rsvp before you go, as it gets fairly full. They even have a lovely cocktail bar at the balcony. read more

If for whatever reason you can't make it to Rum Wong Thai restaurant in Guildford, then this is your second option. Like others have said don't be fooled by the exterior. You travel up several flights of stairs and enter a beautiful restaurant housed at the top. Great staff, great food great service! Just be careful walking back down the stairs if you had too much to drink! ;p read more

Good restaurant and surrounding. Usually has a buzzing atmosphere. Has a lounge and Balcony with nice views of Guildford. Sometime the food is inconsistent i.e. really good one week and not so good the other. I tried red curry once and they served it with Indian Paratha bread which was strange! Quite pricey but it is one of the more upmarket restaurants in Guildford and surrounding areas. Definitely worth a try. A friend tried it recently and he loved it! read more

Gorgeous views and lovely cocktails and food. Would definitely recommend!

Great location, with a high view point of Guildford. Theming of restaurant & vast number of friendly, efficient staff is excellent. Top it all off with fantastic food. Highly recommend. read more

I've been at the Thai Terrace in 2009 when being in Guildford for several weeks. Above the many Thai restaurants I visited around the world this was one of the better ones. Great coconut milk soup (Thom Ga Kai). Lovely welcome and I nice view above Guildford made a perfect evening dinner for me. Was a little hard to find. Will return there if I go to Guildford again. read more

Best Thai food in Guildford. Staff incredibly helpful, very accommodating to those with allergies. Food is consistently quick and excellent. Dress is smart casual. Book ahead as it's often busy in the evenings. read more

Our favourite local restaurant, has a lounging area where you can have a drink and chat before sitting down, is on top of a rather industrial car park, so don't tell the girlfriend anything, just take into the shabby lift and watch the disappointment on her face, then the joy as you get to the top floor and enter this plush restaurant. a bit pricey tough so make it a special occasion. read more

Hi Mum, Your grandson took me out last Friday to Thai Terrace. It's on top of a multi-storey car park in Guildford town centre, which sounds odd, but it makes it very easy to reach in the lift from the car park! Finding the car at the end of the evening was another matter ... but that wasn't the restaurant's fault ... see end of my review for that farce! He booked for 6:30, but I was running late getting home (from visiting you actually!) so he had to change it to 7:30, & the staff warned him that they would be turfing us out at 9pm for the second sitting of the evening. My son was concerned about this, but I thought 1.5 hrs was long enough to eat our meal. We were greeted by a delightful Thai girl, bowing to us with her hands in the traditional Buddhist prayer position. Having attended Buddhist retreats, this made it a very special welcome. I love Thai people! the restaurant was lit with bue fairy lights and it looked pretty packed out! We were shown to our table, a small table for 2 with other couples on small tables either side. It seemed crowded, but we were so ensconced in our world that it really didn't matter. and the food, well... it was just out of this world. We'd last been here on Christmas Eve 2009 when your grand-daughter flew in from Oz for Christmas. Straight from the airport to Thai Terrace - well, ok she showered first - and it cost me £75 for the 3 of us that night. This time it was £80 for two - but I think I went to town with a 3 course meal and shampoo, as I was being treated! ;-) I had Yum Thai Apple to start which was delicious tofu with sauce.. mmmm. Then a no 59 (I couldn't possibly remember it's name and didn't attempt to say it on the night.) Even when I ordered the Yum Thai Apple, the Thai waitress didn't understand me and I had to say, "a no 16 please"! That was served with sticky rice and it was just so yummy - it was tiger prawns with Thai gravy - a traditional Thai recipe. For dessert I also had a traditional Thai coconut dessert with coconut icecream .... mmmm, it's making me hungry thinking about it! My son didn't want much of his champagne so I had a second glass! (He was driving.) We went out onto the Terrace to look at the lights of sunny Guildford, with the cathedral in the distance - lovely. The terrace has those heaters so it would be possible to sit out there, although they're terribly unenvironmental. So, apart from my son saying "Omg, I didn't know it would be that much!" when he was presented with the bill.. he paid up happily and the farce of finding the car began.... .... in the lift down to Level 1. No, that wasn't right, but the ticket machines were there so we paid the £1 car park ticket (£1 for all Guildford's carparks at night now), back in the lift to Level 2..... No that wasn't right either! "Where IS the car? What level IS the car on?!" Back in the lift .... up to Level 3. out of the lift. Nope! "Well, it must be Level 4, but we came in at ground level?!" Weird! And yes, there it was... Level 4, which was on the ground level! ha ha A wonderful meal in a lovely restaurant. Memorable. Lots of love to you Mum, Jac x x x read more

Don't let the out side fool you, this place is fan bloody tastic. Wonderful staff, excellent food, great areas for a drink before hand, especially if you can get on the terrace. I love it. read more

It may be hard to find and everything, but once up here you'll feel relaxed and enjoy the views over Guildford town. Also a place where i've felt appreciated and not an annoying nuisance. read more

Everything is so perfect, especially the view. This is a rare and high-end restaurant in Guildford, would recommend to friends. PS: make rsvp before you go, the restaurant is fairly full at night read more

I find everything about this place pretty much perfect. The food is amazing, the portions are large and the service is swift. If you attend when it's dark, you can look over Guildford when it's all lit up! The only downside of the restaurant is that it has sittings - last time I checked, I was either 6:30 or 9pm sittings. read more

This is one of my favourite restaurants in my area for sure! The food is really good and fairly authentically thai, which I think is hard to find. The staff are incredibly hospitable and friendly and service is good, even when busy. This restaurants always fills up and it clearly very popular, making the ambience incredible, on top of the beautiful interior and stunning views of unassuming Guildford. I love ordering dishes I probably wouldn't normally order because I am always pleasantly surprised. I recommend anything with tofu! read more

Love this place, I have eaten in lots of Thai places this has been the best going again tonight, the duck salad to start is packed with Thai flavour and the mixed seafood equally good. Atmosphere and decor very nice, hoping to get onto the terrace tonight for cocktails before the meal. Last time it rained so hard we had to sit inside but the seating while waiting is equally well done and very comfortable so no complaints here read more

Its good the views are great as are the staff... But Rum Wong dose better Thai food and is less expensive.

Our experience did not tally with the extremely positive reviews on yelp. The food quality was average at best (e.g. some dishes were overly sweetened; kids didn't touch the noodles we ordered). The ambience is nice though. read more

I would have given the thai terrace 5 stars if it was not for one thing. They have been a bit of a victim of their own success as although the restaurant floor space is pretty large they still cram people in so often you are nearly sitting on the lap of the people on the table next to you. Cannot fault the quality of the food or the staff serving though so give it a go! read more

A great view from the terrace, which is perfect for cocktails on a summers evening. The staff are polite and the setting good with prompt service. The flip side is there are better options for a more authentic flavour some Thai meal in Guildford. 3 stars due to food, overall 4 stars for special occasion cocktails and view. read more
