I eat here as many times as I can, if I can't make it in I order it take out. The atmosphere and service is just so good. The food is packed full of flavour and is so good for you. The girls can't do anymore to make your experience any better. Little diamond, wish it could be somewhere outside with heatets and sandy shack so its a real life thai experience. Winter indoors summer out!! Just a little thought 😁

7 weeks ago, I forgot my cardholder with all my cards and driver's license in that place. When I got home, I called the restaurant and told them to please look at the seat where I sat. They directly told me that there is nothing. They have not even gone to look. This weekend, a couple came to my house with my cards saying that they just ate at the restaurant and found my cards on the seat. It seems that they clean the place well every day. I think the way they treat customers is horrible.

Usually, I buy takeaway from this place but decided to dine in as was due to watch a movie shortly after. The food was very fresh and tasty. Ordered some starters, superb! Their smoothie and iced tea were also amazing and good value for money. Will dine in more now as the quality is definitely better than takeaway.

Best Thai food in town! Used to work at a shop in dockside and went here once ever other month, fantastic food even recommended by some Thai friends of mine, the only reason I've dropped a star on atmosphere is due to it being in Chatham dockside which has no atmosphere

We eat here every week at the moment because the food is simply incredible! Such good value and the staff are lovely, especially Jo who cooks the most amazing curries! If you like thai food this is a MUST! Outstanding 👌

Very nice food. We had Dim sum and then Drunken Noodles (spicy) and Pad Thai (chicken and prawn). The food was very fresh. Dim sum was tasty and the dipping sauce was great. Drunken Noodles were great- bags of flavour. Chicken was tasty, vegetables were cooked really well - good flavour and a bit of char but still crunchy. Pad Thai was decent too, All very fresh. Staff were very pleasant too. Nice.

This restaurant is truly a Thai restaurant. The food is good but not superb. Fish cakes are a bit too small. Drunken noodles are too strong and heavy taste. Pad Thai noodles are good but too sugary. Duck noodle soup is a bit bland. The fried rice is normal. Best of all, the staff are very kind, polite, and friendly.

The Green Thai curry was so good I forgot to take a picture! Super food, cooked right in front of you. Super clean and friendly. The staff and service are great! The food is fabulous and priced well. A great place to stop and have a bit to eat if you are shopping at Dockside. Check it out, highly recommended.

Good was very good quality about 2/3 years ago,so I didn t have issues with customer service. Recently the food quality is terrible ( old and dated chicken , too much salt) but when I ask them to change and make a new one they are rude and water the exciting food down and says it s been changed. The food price isn t cheap but their food quality got terribly bad. Not freshly made , just warmed up old food.

One if the best Thai food restaurant in town. Food is delicious, staff is very nice and friendly, quick service and the place is very neat and clean. Have visited them few times in last 2 months.

June 21, 2024

The staff is always soooo angry and annoyed at the customers for some reason. One of the staff literally told off a customer in front of me for merely having a milkshake from outside. OUTSIDE FOOD IS NOT ALLOWED. Then they were very annoyed that my 3 year old daughter was walking in the restaurant while she was not disturbing anyone. Please grow up guys. Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.

June 21, 2024

Average food and Horrible service. Very weird vibe overall. Not a nice ambience. We ordered food but in take away boxes as our daughter was very sleepy so we weren t sure if we would be able to finish food in the restaurant. We managed to eat at the restaurant. When we were leaving a petty staff member started arguing about the fact that we ordered take away and ate it in?? Not that they charged us any less - full vat was paid as it was hot food. Very petty. Food only average, I think they were fussed as they had to use 2 take away boxes? LOL - I have no clue. The lady kept arguing - half of which I couldn t even understand - until we were out of the door. Much better other thai options in the area and with much nicer staff. Would never return here

Positives - the food is cheap and the portions are generous, Negatives - the food is very average at best. The red curry was bland, the rice was overcooked and the pad Thai noodles were undercooked. We personally will not be returning. Vegetarian options: Not much at all for the vegetarian. The menu is also quite confusing

The food was so fresh and nice and flavoursome! We got mixed starter, chicken fried rice and massaman. It was all perfect and I m quite a fussy eater especially with textures but I ate it all. Nicest spring rolls I ve ever eaten, I keep thinking about them ever since. The satay skewers were juicy and decent size. My partner comes here all the time and has never been let down!

Ive eaten in maybe 5 times and had several take aways and the food was always great, until last weekend. I picked up an order around 6.45 and there were a lot of delivery drivers so maybe just too busy, but the food was really disappointing this time. Chicken satay looked great, lovely big pieces of chicked and a pot of sauce. But the chicken was overcooked so dry and chewy with nowhere near enough sauce. The drunken noodles were good but the Pad Kapow was just very sweet mince and very little other taste, it tasted as bland as it looked. Could have just been unlucky but unlikely to return, 3 stars based on much better previous experiences here

Fantastic food!! This place offers authentic Thai food. Not a fancy place obviously but A limited amount of dishes but that doesnt matter if you like Thai food. You have the option for different spice levels and meats or veg in dishes such as pad Thai, pad ka pow, drunken noodles, red and green curry, massaman curry, pork ribs, pork or chicken Thai burger (thaiger) and different side dishes. Staff are really friendly and fast too. Highly recommended!

December 21, 2023

I like the fish balls very much which costs GBP 6 per 9 balls. Unlike the other two branches, when I visited this branch a month ago, the staff only give me 6 balls so I told her I got 9 balls in another branch just earlier that week but she said their company group just changed to 6 balls only two days ago. However, when I went to the other two branches a few days later both still gave me 9 balls. I will never buy again in this branch because of the dishonest behavior.

Im visiting this place at lunch times as my office is based in the historic dockyard and i do not fancy other places around here, I have to admit Im a duck fan and their Duck noodle soup is worth the £8.50. Some have mentioed it a bit bland but for me is perfect, if you want to spice it up a bit they do bring to your an assortment of condiments so you can add as you wish.

December 21, 2023

Poor poor service discussing behaviour from management DO NOT GO to this place they got order wrong left us waiting I asked for a refund told I could get a refund as I hadnt had the food my autistic getting anxious as he was told it wouldnt be long one member of staff said we could get a refund then the manager asked y I explained we hadnt had the food and my son is autistic and has learning disabilities to be laughed at and told so so what and shouted at so I ended up in an argument and told I can have a refund if I never come back. I said fine still no refund and then asked to go out side with a male member of staff who was just rude didnt want to listen and didnt care to the point my autistic son was pacing up and down and being told my food is ready now 20 minutes later after ordering. In between another lady said she had been waiting ages for her food and how long was it going to be as they was hungry as well. So no food or refund

I had prawn pad Thai, satay chicken and a can of Pepsi max which came to £12.50. Food tasted amazing, came out piping hot and beautifully presented. Staff are really nice and polite, they shout out goodbye to every single person who leaves which I thought was really nice. The only thing I think they should point out is the fact they have peanuts and chilli for people to add to their food but if you dont ask its not obvious that you can use it nor do you see it on display.

December 21, 2022

Chicken Pad Thai took ages to arrive - was waiting 30 min and they said there was a mix up with the order but no apology. Happy waiting for good food, but this was so sickly sweet it was very hard to enjoy. Swimming in overly sticky sugary sauce, not pleasant and nothing like authentic pad Thai that I ve had before. Bad food and bad service.

Have had a couple of visits to here but only as a take away on this occasion was with three family members so we dined inside was not impressed at all pork ribs were burnt and dry my nephew spent 65 and that was with no drinks sister in-law didnt want to complain about the ribs I did but she said let it go so when we had finished we had food left over so I asked for it to be put in there polystyrene containers at which point I was told they only put them in cardboard boxes at 50 pence per box so had to pay another 2 pounds for that. What a rip off told them they have now lost a customer due to the cardboard box con will never go there again

December 21, 2022

I m a regular here but the cheek of finding out today getting charged £1.50 extra for switching from sweet chill to chilli sauce with the spring rolls actually wound me up. And now my green curry has just arrived and the chicken content has halved and been replaced with the veg. Very disappointed being treated like this while being such a loyal Customer. Matter of moral over money.

Unassuming spot at the top of the escalators. Veg Pad Thai was unexpectedly good, so we came back the next day for duck noodle soup (shown in photo with a conker for scale ) and a new item stir-fry of which I forget the name. Would have come on our third day in the area too, except it was Sunday and they closed at 5pm, the same time as the Dockyard oh well (they probably follow shopping centre hours).

I mean theyre running on lightning bolts and the food is the most tastiest and flavourful when in gets into your mouth. Recently I tried the drunken noodles....medium spicy...OMG! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! So much that I got take away for my entire family. Yes! They also do take away and you can find them on delivery apps. I am all for Thai! Medway is overpopulated with Chinese fast food outlets and not many Thai fast food outlets but even if they had to go against each other .... Pad Thai would beat everyone hands down!

This semipermanent stall is part of the Docksides streetfood court. To be billed as streetfood is somewhat confusing when there isnt any connection to the street, but Ive seen this work elsewhere, so why not. However, the setting feels like a bankrupted dodgy firms oversized corner office, complete with out of place looking bad quality carpet. Really, the atmosphere of the space is way off. On our visit it did not help that the doors to the roof terrace were shut and the place was deserted, except for the hardworking staff of Pad Thai. That means also that none of the other outlets were trading. Good for business, the lady at Pad Thai said, and I hope for them this is true, although I cant help but thinking they could still do better if the place was actually buzzing. Could that be expected in an otherwise tired feeling shopping centre? At any rate, we didnt let all this deter us and its a shame the environs distract from the food offer, which is actually a very decently flavoured and nicely cooked simple Thai cuisine at decent prices. (I am not qualified to judge authenticity, but certainly better than various other places tried, which tend to rely on watered-down-sweetness recalling the globally-blanded Chinese takeaway.) Should I find myself stuck at Dockside again over lunch, I would certainly consider it, or perhaps one of its neighbours might persuade me to give them a go. If these neighbours dont return, Id suggest Pad Thai to setup stall on the actual street, where it could add some much needed flavour to the dockside experience.

Love the food, love the customer service. Reasonably priced and good portions. I just wish they had somewhere a bit nicer for you to eat rather than a carpeted shared street food area. Food and carpet do not blend well!

Have eaten here four times now - my housemate and I both love the food, with the chicken satay and red/green curries as highlights. Its clean and friendly, and a great pre-cinema meal. This is the kind of experience we missed during lockdown. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice and clean. Fresh food. Didnt like rice being served in bag. Expensive for what it is.
