West Malling, widely considered the gastro-capital of the Maidstone area, offers a wide range of restaurants and Pad Thai is it’s finest South East Asian offering, tempting in diners from across the South East. One of the reasons could be the combination of olde worlde Tudor building and traditionally inviting Thai inspired décor, another could be the warm welcome and excellent service but undoubtedly the main draw would be the unsurpassed food. Created by a team with a history serving the Thai Royal family, the traditional dishes are authentic and delicious, made with excellent, fresh ingredients.

    Pad Thai is our favourite Thai restaurant. The food and service is outstanding. The owner Manta always takes the time to speak to people on each table. She is very passionate about her food. My husband and I always make sure we have room for the amazing Kanom Tuoy pudding, it is by far the best pudding we have tasted, even our teenage boys love it. We highly recommend going.

    Manta was very hospitable. The food was lovely and we enjoyed the special dessert a lot. Unfortunately one table was exceptionally noisy and made it difficult to have a conversation. Best to request customers to be courteous of others.

    We booked a table for Valentines having dined here before with a positive experience. Unfortunately on this occasion there was only a set menu available and in the time we spent there other people left because of this. The food was nice but a part from the starter the rest of the menue was placed on the table at the same time leaving very little room to eat. To finish the meal you only had a choice of either a sweet or coffee/tea so we chose the sweet only to be served with two scoops of what tasted like cheap ice cream. This was a very negative ending to our meal which was a real shame as we had been looking to repeat our first experience but this just wasn't the case.

    I have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants and I can honestly say this has been the most disappointing of them all . Very watery food and so bland none of the lovely spices and flavours you expect from good Thai food . Had the valentines set menu. Very expensive for the tiny portions as well . Definitely won’t be back

    We returned for our 2nd visit on Friday and it was even better than our 1st! We let Manta choose/recommend dishes for our starters and main course and we were not disappointed! The food was exceptional, so flavoursome and delicious. We were lucky that Manta had made a batch of a traditional 'coconut-based' dessert and although we aren't usually sweet tooth, we really enjoyed the unique taste. We can't wait to return again!

    The food is excellent but unfortunately the restaurant has a terrible reputation for their service. The lady who owns it, needs to step aside and hire a polite welcoming waitress. She is brash and rude. My partner merely asked for a condiment that he was used to, when living in Thailand. She literally told him he should have ordered a spicy soup! He wanted to add chili as someone may want to add pepper! It’s a normal condiment at restaurants in Thailand. She spoilt our evening and we won’t return. Friends of mine in west Malling say they just do take away because of her rudeness.
