Luk Thai at The Cricketers in Cambridge

Very bad

NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES. NOT GLUTEN FREE / VEGAN We ate here as part of a large group. While an allergy menu was provided, this turned out not to be accurate. Staff did point out some inconsistencies in the menu when asked. Two people in our group ordered gluten free food, and this was confirmed available by the staff. Even though the meals were completely different, the food made both people sick and evidently was not gf at all. Dish ordered as vegan turned up with egg in. Other people in the group did enjoy their food, but I really do not recommend this place to anyone that has allergies or intolerances, or wants vegan food.

amazing

It was delicious food and if you looking for Thai original food I would recommend

Large portions of food

A go-to restaurant and gathering place for the Thai community in Cambridge. Their cuisine is closest to the authentic Thai food you can find here.

Really authentic!! Best Thai food in Cambridge.

Lovely business lunch, nice outside area, polite, clean, wonderful fresh ingredients. Would recommend

Delish Thai food. Service was impeccable and was a great meal!

Lovely Thai restaurant. Great atmosphere and great food. The dishes are enormous and prices are fair. Food : 5/5

Not bad, but not great, either. Very much a run-of-the-mill Thai place. The tempura starters are nice. I had one of the curries as a main, which was a bit of a small portion in my opinion.

Allround decent place, but nothing extraordinary. The food is tasty and in decent quantities. Is it mindblowing? No. But perfectly fine for a nice evening eating out.

Food arrived cold (via Deliveroo) and the pad Thai smelt so bad as if it had gone off so didn t risk eating it. The crispy squid was not crispy at all. Massaman was just ok. Won t be ordering from here again

Reasonable for the price. Duck panang had lots of meat in it. Squid was tasty.

I ordered pad Thai. Very delicious! Sweet and yummy. Food

Terrible hospitality with poor management

The food is very good here and the staff are very friendly. I do recommend going to the restaurant in person. But takeaway is another story. The restaurant is unfortunately let down by the attention to detail in handling orders. Over the years I ve ordered twice via Deliveroo and they ve messed up the order both times. The first time I ordered a drunken noodle with tofu and they forgot the tofu. Fair enough, they re-delivered the correct order. The second time, just now, I ordered two mains and the delivery only had one main. Again, we re-ordered, but with a 40 minute wait for the re-delivery, we had to eat separately and what was supposed to be a nice meal a treat after a stressful day was ruined and made more stressful. It s just not good enough.

Ordered delivery so no idea about service or atmosphere. Ordered pad see Yue and Tom yum soup as a main. Pad see Yue with pork - rice noodles had a nice flavour, but pork slices were overcooked and dry. The meat could have been cooked the day before and used today. Tom yum soup was sour (tamarind) but not spicy at all. Terrible food, much worse than other options like Banh Thai or Sala Thong. To add insult to injury pricing is expensive. Would never eat here again. Pretty sure any Asian who has actually tried Thai food before would agree this isn t good Thai food at all. Go elsewhere and do not be lured by the supposed 4.7 rating on Deliveroo. Great regrets ordering here!

Tasty food and friendly service.

Nice food and service

A nice but not great Thai, poor slow service even when it wasnt particularly busy.

We ordered takeaway tonight and the food was very disappointing! The ribs had no meat on it and very dry ! We found very little noodles in one of dishes we ordered! Not great value for what we paid!

It s not a pub, not what you d expect from one anyways, and it s not what you want a Thai restaurant to look like either. Food was not great either I have to say, there is plenty better options in and around Cambridge the staff was accommodating and friendly, but I think they have had enough poor experiences with a certain clientele that there is little love left for their guests.

Good value and great food

Lovely Thai fare and good level head bitter!

Very good food only complaint corn fritters in mixed starter tasteless while rest of food excellent

Fantastic every time.

I have been going to this place for food for many years and was never disappointed. My favourite Thai restaurant in Cambridge.

Nothing extraordinary food wise.

Absolutely first class lunch, could not fault, very fair price and impeccable service.

We visited for a lunch time meal. There service was excellent. The Thai menu was very good. The serving staff were polite and engaged.

I enjoyed the food but the menu was impossible to read simply due to the size of the fonts which were tiny.

Its a pub? Its a Thai restaurant? Say no more, Im in! Excellent food. Friendly staff. Legit.

I came in late since theyre open until late and I was accommodated well by one of their staff. Its nice to have proper restaurants that are open until 23:00 or even midnight and I believe Luk Thai is really one of those nice places to eat. I always order their Pad Thai (even thru online delivery) and it never disappoints.

Good Thai food. Clean and friendly. Does get rather busy at the weekends sometimes. And when at capacity, food took quite a while. ( even though wed preordered 9 out of the 10 peoples meals prior to the day of our arrival). I still recommend it. The food is always of a high quality. And the staff are friendly

Fantastic

I ordered padthai with pork, the pork was raw and didnt taste good, and I think the price was so high for that quality.

Worth venturing away from the main tourist area. My wife is Thai and she give this 5 stars for food. Pad ka Praew with prawn was excellent and worthy of its 3 chilli rating. Staff super friendly and the price very reasonable. Definitely recommend if you love authentic Thai food.

We have been coming here for years. However, seems like management has changed and they don t really care about customers. My wife is gluten intolerant, the starters came with gluten sauce and later changed. A part of our order never arrived. And 1 of us has to leave on an empty stomach. We received the bill without completing the the part of the order they catered. Utterly Disappointed.

Lovely place, tasty food, friendly staff. Worth to visit.

Really nice staff and lovely patio, however, the food we ate was ok at best (pad thai was our favourite)

So thrilled to have tried Luk Thai. Such wonderful flavours. Ordered too much food but given boxes to takeaway what we couldnt eat Vegetarian options: Excellent choices

Fantastic food.

Good food at The Cricketers. Really enjoyed the outside space. Good relaxing vibe, nice and bustling atmosphere. Food was good. Love the papaya salad. Tofu stir fry was good. Recommended

Food wasn t as good as it used to be, the waiter didn t offer to change it when we said it wasn t up to normal standards. Left feeling unfulfilled. Shame

The most authentic Thai food, also very fast service. But quite expensive, and the coconut rice does not taste coconut

Great food! I would recommend the duck in tamarind sauce which is delicious

Large portions lovely food

Had my 30th birthday meal here - super organised and timely service, food was complimented by all (delicious and generous portions) and the service was really friendly. We also really appreciated the extra decorations they provided for us which were a total surprise and a lovely extra touch!

Hidden away in the back of a pub, Luk Thai serves tasty food and many classic Thai dishes. On sunny days, I highly recommend eating in the hidden garden patio outside. The atmosphere is relaxing and unique and somehow very Cambridge.

We like this restaurant but had a delivery from them and not great. Forgot our daughters food so we had to order again, and our food was less than average. We have had delivery from them before which wasn t good but thought we would try again which was an expensive mistake- the food just doesn t work by delivery, it feels rushed out and just nowhere near as nice as when eating in the restaurant. Won t make the mistake again.

Don t be deterred by the fact that this Thai restaurant is in an English pub. The food is superb! We holiday frequently in Thailand (from Australia) and consider we know good Thai. Walk the ten minutes from the city centre and you won t be disappointed.

Good impression. I can see that people are trying. People here still give a f about the quality. I might have been spoiled by other high standard places that would be able to outcompete this one by a small margin, but this place deserves a top score today. Well done people.

My favourite place to eat in Cambridge ! Crispy chili squid, duck panang curry are must trys!

It was tasty. My dish was ready 5 min after I made an order

We go to this place every couple of weeks as it is conveniently placed but we love it for the tasty food and friendliness of the staff. We always feel welcome and its a classic now for our family. Vegetarian options: Most dishes come with a vegetarian variant.

It s amazing. The taste is like eating in Thailand. I highly recommend.

Nice place, food and quality coherent with the price

Lovely food everytime and very friendly staff! Highly recommend the rump steak panang curry

Thai food that, apart from being delicious, comes decorated in a very elaborate way.

Really not as good as its reputation. Overpriced and lazy cooking Ive been going on and off for years but prices rising and quality falling. Much of the food especially starters are frozen/bought in and served with sauce from a bottle. Some carved carrots cant disguise the fact that youre eating food largely lacking in fresh cooking or herbs.

Amazingly tasty food

It was a Very good Restaurant. The food was amzazng i had Phad Thai and Red Curry with chicken. The food was really good, and also the Service was excellent. Friendly Guys and good atmosphere

Very authentic Thai food, would love to try more dishes.

A little gem of a place. Must go and try them.

Ordered online. The Thai pasta was very good but the chicken was a little bit dry/sticky.

Only popped in for a few beers but service was good and food looked great.

Super tasty food!

Food was nice and so was the service - very lovely people. A little slow to get cutlery and napkins but they seem to be very busy with deliveries (its a very popular place).

Thai green curry Yummy

Really great food. Massive portions make it excellent value for money!

The food was nice - I had the Pad Thai with prawns. I also ordered a Virgin Mojito which was quite bitter so I wouldnt order it again.

Some tasty Thai food here.

Fantastic. Hidden gem. Will be coming back 100%

Lovely food here. I had the chicken stir fry sweet and sour and it was so good. Beautiful flavours in the sweet and sour and good portion size. The people I was with had the vegetarian set meal for 2 and there was more than enough food so well worth doing.

my impression is that this is one of three thai places that have decent thai food in cam -- alongside baan thai and salathong-- but I had a worse experience here. it has a reputation of being a go-to place for thai students. I had the garlic fried king prawns and tom yum soup, which werent too impressive but were ok. the prawns werent very flavourful or fresh, and the soup was too sweet and not spicy

Amazing food and friendly, helpful staff. A hidden gem!

Poor food, small portions, also this place keeps deleting bad reviews. If your food was good you shouldn t have to delete reviews. Not an honest place. Wouldn t eat here again.

Lengest Thai food about

Where is the flavour? not recommend - poor food quality that does not match the price. Wont go back

Amazing food, excellent menu selection of old favorites and chefs specials. Great service, friendly knowledgable staff. Seating inside and out so good choice.

Delicious food, friendly service, nice surroundings, all can you can ask for!

Such good food and great atmosphere.

I ve eaten here several times, and had a number of takeaways, usually very good. This evening was a disaster, rice cold and crusty, food Luke warm and a dish with pork instead of chicken. To add insult to injury both main course dishes were barely half a container.

The best Thai restaurant in Cambridge

Best Thai food in Cambridge, a small trip to South East Asia cuisine.

Good food. Good value lunchtime special. Good service and CV19 precautions.

Wonderful Thai food. Informal and friendly!

So good

Very tasty food

We have been to the Cricketers a number of times for Thai food and drinks. Good selection of beers and wines and the good is always lovely. Service is very friendly, polite and efficient. Definitely be going back.

Dog friendly and excellent food. Service was speedy and good at giving reccs.

Delicious soup, spring rolls and pad Thai quick clean polite service defo recommend to visit

Friendly service. The food was quite disappointing, though. I ordered salt and pepper squid as an entrée, and it was ok. Then a noodle and duck main that was supposed to be spicy but wasnt at all. The noodles were clearly store-bought and so was the sauce on the duck, which you dont expect when you pay £20+ for a dish at lunch. Its basically the quality you get from food trucks at festivals, i.e. acceptable as long as you dont pay more than £10 for your meal.

Excellent food. Fast kitchen.

The kitchen is simply wonderful! Incredibly delicious!

Absolutelu amazing. The flavous are what they should be. Great atmosphere, restaurant is located in cozy neighborhood. No music played which is nice.

Fantastic authentic Thai served with a friendly face.

They do the best Massaman curry Ive ever eaten. The waiters are also very friendly, every visit is a pleasant experience here.

Popped in for some lunch and were greeted with a warm welcome from a great host and enjoyed a lovely Thai curry the drunken noodles. We enjoyed our food in the quiet, cosy back garden and overall had a very nice experience. Would recommend and come again.

Ive been a load of times and ordered takeaway a lot as well. The food is out of this world. Service is very friendly too.

Delicious food.

Cozy atmosphere and excellent Thai cuisine. The staff is professional, friendly and flexible with customers: we asked for extra ginger and they brought us even this was not on the menu; they cut the ginger in small pieces and it complemented the other food perfectly. Thank you

Terrible

Was so excited to come here after a few years, but was disappointed as food was very average, it looks like they changed the chef, wont be coming back sadly

Have dined here many times but will not visit again. The food has gone downhill especially the stir fry dishes. The egg fried rice is just normal rice with a shot of soy sauce, couldn t find any egg. The food we ordered came in a haphazard manner, no sense to it and wrong rice brought to the table. To top it all for a party of 3 we were charged a 10% service charge this is not mentioned on the menu. Thai on Regent Street much better quality of food. Avoid Parking: No parking

Nice selection, affordably priced Thai food. Friendly staff.

Very good although a little pricy

Classy Thai restaurant with superbly tasty food and excellent service.

Very tasty food!! Very good service! Ask for the lunch menu, its a perfect quality/price combination!!

Fantastic takeaway. Great service, very friendly and helpful staff.

Very good and fresh

Beautiful outdoor seating area with nice lighting and heaters, staff were friendly and food was amazing as always

Unfortunately we have all been sick after getting a take-away from this place. That was a bad fish. We have ended up in a hospital - 4 people got sick! It was 2 years ago but I cant accept this from a place, dealing with food. Hope they have improved. But, for obvious reasons, cant get myself there again. Be aware.

Great service & lovely Thai food. Equally delicious to eat in or take away.

Bartender poured themselves a beer and sat drinking it whilst we were sat on a broken bench outside waiting for the two simple drinks we ordered. After 15 minutes of waiting we had to leave as the service was unacceptable!

Very good size portions and nice outdoor area

Excellent food and great service

Excellent restaurant for Thai food and drink!

Smashing nosh, lovely people. Gr8 all round

Waiter took every opportunity to deliver the worst possible service.

Gorgeous Thai food with very friendly staff. The outdoor area is great if the weather is nice. Would highly recommend.

The food is just incredible!

Excellent food, great service, perfect vibes

Delicious!

Very tasty food, would definitely go back

Excellent food and professional staff to serve your dining needs. The Cricketers is a most pleasant location with plenty of seating inside and a garden for those that require a more al-fresco feel to their visit.

Lovely garden. Good food. Good service.

This is my second visit to Cricketers. This second time was once again fantastic. The staff are amazing and friendly and the food is just out of this world. Cant wait to visit again.

Best thai in Cambridge

Nice place, nice service. Quite abundant portions. I recommend honey duck!

Amazing food and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning

Excellent Thai cuisine with great flavours.

I enjoyed a really lush Panang curry here last Saturday. The service is excellent, delivered by friendly staff.

My new favorite restaurant in Cambridge. Overall food was delicious but the fried duck was above expectations. The place is really nice but the staff attention is superb. Really happy to enjoy this restaurant, I cant wait to eat the roast duck again

I love this place!! Authentic Thai food made with quality ingredients and, very reasonably priced! Popped in tonight to pick up a chicken green curry to take home, I have ordered from here previously through Just Eat and it normally arrives a bit cold, it was amazing tonight! I highly recommend this place and if you are wanting a takeaway, do yourself a massive favour and pick it up yourself! The staff are extremely polite, friendly and helpful

The best and very authentic Thai food.

Best of Thai food around.

Absolutely brilliant. Worth the walk. Delicious food clearly using top class ingredients at a more than reasonable price. Great portions and not sparing on either meat or tofu in the meals we chose. So many restaurants serve a minimum amount of meat in their dishes but not here. Really friendly staff too !

Absolutely the best Thai restaurant in Cambridge, the food is consistently fresh and excellent and the service is wonderful. Cant recommend it enough

Very nice restaurant with genuine food, kind people working there and more than acceptable prices. The toilets are a bit on the old side, but for the rest indeed a place I would like to come back to.

Chicken fried rice is a must. Hidden gem!

Probably the best Thai food in Cambridge

Very friendly and accommodating - we had a group booking of ten and they really looked after us. Have been before, and will go again. Highly recommend. Thai green curry is delicious.

We just had the pleasure of eating here, I have just finished my dinner and felt the urge to leave a good review immediately. I cant recommend this place highly enough, absolutely delicious food.

Always love eating out here but since we can t right now we were so happy to find they do takeaway and have just had the most amazing meal ! Fantastic value and food. Very happy, thank you!

Very efficient and polite service. My party of two were offered a table indoors or outdoors in the small garden. We chose to sit outdoors as it was a mild evening. The Mai Thai cocktails we ordered were large, tasted great and nicely presented (and half the price of the smaller, rather weak and watery cocktails wed had earlier at the Varsity Hotel Rooftop Bar!). The selection of dishes was great. We simply ordered the set meal for two but we were pleased with the selection and the food was delicious (even including the green tea ice-cream for dessert!). Would strongly recommend if you like Thai food

Lovely thia food. Lunch deal exceptional value and delicious. Great for vegetarians or vegans too. Staff are friendly. Nice gardeb

Delicious food, seating outside is nice, seating inside is alright but could do with a little more atmosphere. Staff are very polite and helpful (apart from the slightly stressed manager who could do with taking taking a breath and remembering that not all customers are out to get him).

Highly recommend. Good service and food was delicious, had the panang curry. Good portion sizes as well, if a little too much. Left fully satisfied.

Excellent place, both food and decor are amazing. Looking forward to coming back.

Gorgeous food and to lots of it we had takeaway and was well delivered

Good food and attentive service. Decent price and selection.

Such beautiful, fresh, clean flavours. Most amazing staff who put up with our humour, and were timely and professional in their manner. They were very welcoming and funny too. Will definitely revisit! Xxx

Really lovely food, staff and service was a little disorganised and felt a little rushed though our meal, 2 courses and drink done in 50 mins

Ordered a take-away and wasnt disappointed. Veg spring rolls and chilli sauce were delicious, chicken panang was lovely, beancurd chow-mein was nice but unfortunately very greasy. Good sized portions. Definitely recommend (esp. the panang).

Fantastic restaurant and such friendly staff! Food was amazing. 5*
