Celebrating my sons 18th birthday. Never been to this restaurant before. Centre of Chesterfield town. Nearest parking multi story on New Beetwell street. Other smaller carparks nearby. Restaurant is on a second floor. Three short flight of stairs but have a very modern elevator for disabled / elderly access. My farther, 84 using walking stick, limited mobility had no problems using the lift which leads to the main restaurant room. The room is separated into themed rooms. There is a recessed srsting area but we went to the main room which has normal seating and tables. Dont know if the thai theme is authentic but i found it amusing reminiscent of a disney themed restaurant. Menu is varied. Starters thai fish cakes were different but really nice, tempora prawns, green lipped muscles, For main I had lamb shank in a peanut curry sauce. Mild and sweet. Others had roast duck and tamarind, king prawns and tamarind on a bed of crispy noodles, sea bass. Pudding were a selection of icecreams and fritters. Coffees and liqueurs. The thai beer was nice. At the end of the night the staff sang happy birthday to my son and he was given an icecream desert with cherries. The starters were aroung £6 each the mains varied between £10 and £25. Puddings were around £4.95. We had a really nice meal in entertaining surroundings....
Read moreThe Thai Thai was a restaurant reminiscent of the kind you'd find in the 80's cult film Big Trouble In Little China. The decor was a little dated but that fed into the authentic Enter The Dragon feeling and ambience. A novel addition is the ability to eat at floor level I.E. on the floor. Although to the restaurant's credit, you don't eat on the floor. You sit against padded Thai backrests and the floor beneath the table (which is at floor level) is lowered. So you're effectively sitting as you would on a normal table albeit positioned at floor level. A novel and entertaining experience that requires a little bit of manoeuvrability when getting into position. The food was a 7.5 out of ten. The service was about the same. Spirits were £2.95 a pint of coke was 1.75 the atmosphere was also 7.5. The restaurant also has traditional seating areas where most diners seem to be. The decor was wood bamboo style with a hint of rural China. The service from the chefs was good. We also noticed close attention being paid to diners' orders from male hosts. This restaurant would suit parties of any size and I would recommend the Thai pillow seats and floor-style tables as they allow an elevated level of communication. This restaurant is worth a visit. The food and service were of...

When first entering it's a bewildering experience with all the murals on the stairs going up to the restaurant, and feels like a fever dream nightclub. But as soon as you open the double doors into the restaurant it's like entering another world!
The decor is like nothing I've ever seen before, stunningly decorated like a Thai village with water features, and even specialized seating areas.
We ordered the mixed platter which came with chicken satay, spring rolls, prawn rolls, prawn toast, onion rings, and Thai style fish cakes, and some crispy rice noodles. Two of everything so perfect for a couple. My favourites were the chicken satay which was juicy, and the fish cakes which were really flavoursome.
For my main I had the Hungly Pork Special Curry, and my partner had the lamb shank. The meat was marvelously tender and fell apart just using a fork! The sauce was particularly good too and I had to drink it up after eating all the meat!
My partners lamb shank also fell off the bone using just a fork, I tried a bit and it was super delicious too.
Price was good too, a meal for two and drinks coming in at...
