one thai kitchen — Restaurant in Sliema

Edit:I have to amend my original review as we just dined at the restaurant and found the dishes to be disgustingly sweet. The only decipherable flavour was sugar! Thai food is all about achieving that elusive balance of flavours. I'm afraid they're way off mark here. We seriously began to wonder whether the chef slipped and accidentally put too much sugar! The som tam was good but they deceivingly put it on a bed of shredded lettuce to make it look like papaya, when in reality there isn't much papaya there. As usual there were no veggies in the curry or tom yum. Literally just meat floating in coconut milk and curry paste. We told our server about the issue with the sweetness. Her only remark was : 'next time tell us not to make it so sweet'. There won't be s6 next time of course because we are not looking for melted curry ice cream!

Expectations were high after reading the reviews here. I am pleased to say that they are correct as the flavours are very authentic. My only gripe is that the curry was way too sweet. The pad Thai and seafood salad were really good and the flavours were spot on. It would be nice to include some vegetables in the curry and pad Thai though. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend it is you're looking for...

One Thai Kitchen may not look pretty and far from fancy, but they effortlessly deliver the true Thai taste to Malta. Great food with good price. Out of our one-week trip we had 4 meals at/from them. I’d recommend all kinds of spicy salad. They got it perfect to the T. Sweet, tangy and a little salty. And they let you choose spice levels. Pad Kaprao (spicy stir fried holy basil with protein of choice) was also tasty. Our least favorite dishes were Pad See Ew and Padthai. Could be because we‘re not a fan of broccoli in these dishes. The portion was not too big or too small. They kept their spot clean despite the location. I think it’s a walkway to an apartment entrance. May not look so welcoming but it turned out to be more pleasant to dine there than expected. The chef, cooks and staffs were very accommodating to our requests. They even ran to fetch some salmon for the salad when they actually ran out of raw salmon that day. We will definitely be back. In fact, flights have already been booked and this time we got a hotel closer to One Thai so we can eat there for one whole week! If that‘s not love, I don’t...

Unfortunately this will be the first negative comment and I really would have wanted to give it a 5star...

I had a nice cosy dinner last night here, having read the full 5star reviews, I was a bit sceptical but when I taster the spring rolls, it was really fantastic. Food arrived speedy and all looked fine- great finish to my Maltese visit. However, I spent the dawn on the toilet with diarrhoea and vomitting- it was clearly something with the food or the hygiene in the kitchen.

Pity as I would definitely recommend this place. Wondering what went wrong yesterday.

Sorry, it’s a no from me this time.

Update: Poul, thanks for your reply! Have no options to directly reply to your message so I give an answer to your question here: I had spring rolls and meal nr 14: sweet and sour prawns with rice. It tasted good. wasn’t my first day in Malta either so it was not the usual “tourist tummy” effect, I am afraid. Thanks for...
