Amazing service, food and what not. Enjoyed dining at this place. I ordered Tofu Tord and Mushroom Tom Yum Soup both were excellent. Both were excellent. Complimentary prawn crackers were also provided. The manager and all staff members/waitresses are amazing. All smiling, attending you again and again to know if we are not liking the food due to any reason. Extra ordinary hospitality from the moment I entered the place till the end. Location wise also best as just opposite to Tunbridge Wells station. I would highly recommend this place and it's food to anyone. Wish could give more than 5 star rating. Actual minute details I have not even mentioned thinking those would appear extra and not matter for some people. But would suggest to go and have best experience here on your own.
This is THE best Thai food I have had outside of Thailand, and I've lived there for 8 years. The chefs are fantastic and the flavors are completely authentic, but not overpowering like some places in Thailand can be (until you get used to it). If you're looking for a little slice of the real Thailand, you've found the place
My favourite restaurant in tunbridge wells by far. Always such great food partnered with extremely helpful and friendly staff. would highly recommend here to anyone!
Undeniably the best and most authentic Thai restaurant I’ve eaten in the UK. As a Thai, it is painfully difficult to find a decent Thai restaurant in the country. Nevertheless, Thai food at this place is a perfect combination of the taste, spiciness, and fragrance. Highly recommended for those who are craving Thai cuisine.
Lovely! Gorgeous food and lovely staff. The food is really authentic, with soooo much choice. It really reminded me of Thailand. Some really spicy dishes, which I love. We love going there as a family. Really reasonably priced too. Thanks!
We were visiting TW and were recommended Kai’s by some friends who live locally. Absolutely fabulous food so authentic and delicious. The waitress recommended her favourites which we took and were so happy we did…! We will be returning on our next visit!
Best Thai food I've had in years! I've heard good things about Kai's Kitchen and finally got the opportunity to visit. Although a small venue it was clearly very popular both with sit-in diners and takeaway orders. Service was quick and the waitress took our order and read it back to us to confirm she had got it right, which was really reassuring. I had Moo Bing for starters which is pork skewers with a delicious sauce, and had one of my fiance's dim sum. I can confidently say that it was up there with some of the best dim sum I've ever eaten. The Moo Bing was succulent and the dip was full of flavour. For my main I had the Kai's Kitchen special rice, and Volcano Chicken. The rice was fantastic and had lots of chicken and prawn in it. The Volcano Chicken just fell apart as I put my fork into it, full of a rich flavour that comes from the sauce, and was a really good portion. I also tried some of the chicken Phad Thai, and I would recommend this dish the most. I could not fault it and I'm sure I will return just to have this! The price was very reasonable too, especially as the portions were large! We couldn't finish the whole meal and took some away too!
The owner was so friendly and recommended some amazing food. We had a great time. We will be back soon!
