Thai Food in Exeter is Next Level

Don’t sleep on Exeter’s Kinkhao Cafe! 🇹🇭 A family-run kitchen where the staff are all relatives—and super friendly. ‼️ Their specialty? A weekly Saturday special menu—check their IG (@kinkhaocafe) for updates. This Week’s Special: Crispy Chicken Rice Topped with fried onions + dipping sauce. A tad dry but still delicious—crunchy outside, juicy inside, zero grease. Braised Pork Trotters Rice 🍖 A rare find! Only had it 3 times in a year (they don’t make it often). Melty-tender pork + pickled greens cut through the richness. The sauce? Rice-murderingly good. Stir-Fried Pork Belly Rice A permanent menu MVP. Charred roasted pork + crispy green beans = ultimate comfort food. Can’t decide? Order this blindfolded. 👍 Pad Thai Solid but not transcendent. Huge fresh prawns, but London’s Addie’s does it better. +£1.5 for a runny fried egg (worth it!). Tom Yum Soup & Beef Noodles (Limited-time duo) 🔥 Tom Yum: Zingy, no coconut milk—clean & sharp. 🐮 Beef Noodles: Silky rice noodles + fall-apart brisket. Chef’s kiss effort. Pineapple Fried Rice (Same week’s special) Looks basic, tastes BONKERS. Perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just fragrant 🍍. Beef Vermicelli Soup Topped with crispy noodle art (quirky but meh vs. other dishes). The beef? Slow-cooked to silk. The pickles? Tastes like home. 🧋 Must-order Thai Milk Tea—icy, aromatic, repeat-worthy. 💰 ~£20pp (with tea, obvs 😆). ‼️ Open Thu-Sun, 12-9pm—don’t miss out! #UKLife #Foodie #HiddenGem #Exeter #UniOfExeter #ExeterEats
