Lanna Thai — Restaurant in Canterbury

Disappointing would NOT recommend

Went here in October my parents have been visiting this restaurant for the last 20 years it’s always been fantastic but we haven’t been for about 2 years I called for collection it was a 40 minute wait which I did not mind I got there 45 mins later. I waited another 40 minutes for the food to be given to me (I think they forgot about my order) the lady was really apologetic and gave me a free drink and Thai crackers I still didn’t mind to much as love Thai food but was wondering what was going on.

it’s been a long time since we had it last from this particular restaurant about 2 years and was extremely disappointing no taste! cardboard would of tasted better it was like eating air no flavour I would never go back to Thai restaurant after speaking to other friend who tried 6 months previously without my knowledge until I mentioned what a disappointment this restaurant has become and they said the same no flavour was vulgar and would not return we have recently tried Bangkok house few streets down it was amazing so I would highly recommend Bangkok...

We got a take away from Lanna this evening as we were walking past and the reviews were very good.

We ordered a few dishes and were very disappointed at the tiny portions. In addition the amount of meat in the already small portions was minuscule. While I definitely don’t want disgusting cheap meat to bulk out a dish, at the prices I anna is charging they can afford to put more quality meat into their dishes. Flavours weren’t bad but should be punchier. Green curry was more like soup, rendang was not like any I’ve ever eaten, and I do know what rendang should taste like. So, all in all, my feeling is that the team here could do better but chose not to because they can make just as much money...

It deserves all the starts! The tables have plenty of space in between, decoration and dinner service is very nice, all members of staff are absolutely lovely and so polite and welcoming, and then you have the food. Oh, the food. It is the most wholesome, fresh, flavour bomb deliciousness!!!! I tried the green and red chicken curry with coconut rice and never wanted it to end. I was worried about the level of spice for the curry as the menu says “medium hot”, but they said I could choose how spicy I wanted the dish. Absolute perfection! Whenever in Canterbury, I will make sure I stop there for a...
