If you're a lover of Thai cuisine, or even if you're just looking for a culinary adventure that will blow your taste buds away, Mimi's Thai Bistro in Weston-super-Mare is a must-visit. Without exaggeration, this is hands down the best tasting Thai food I have ever had in my life.
From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, but it’s the food that truly steals the show. The menu is a perfect balance of traditional favorites and bold, unique dishes, but everything is crafted with such finesse that every bite feels like an extraordinary experience.
Starters: A Perfect Beginning We started with the Thai Fishcakes, which were nothing short of sensational. Golden, crisp on the outside yet delightfully soft and aromatic on the inside, these fishcakes had the perfect balance of flavors, with the tender fish complemented by a hint of chili, lemongrass, and lime. The dipping sauce was equally divine, with just the right amount of sweetness and tang to elevate each bite. It's clear that Mimi’s attention to detail sets the tone for the entire meal.
Soups: Bursting with Flavor Next, the soups. Oh, the soups. Each spoonful of the Tom Yum Soup was a revelation. The rich, fragrant broth was a harmonious blend of sour, spicy, and savory notes, with fresh herbs and tender chicken that made every mouthful an indulgence. It’s the kind of dish that warms both body and soul, transporting you straight to the streets of Thailand.
The Curries: A True Masterpiece But the real highlight was the Penang Curry. This dish was sheer perfection. The richness of the coconut milk, the deep umami from the Thai spices, and the vibrant burst of flavors from the fresh vegetables and tender chicken—everything was balanced to perfection. The heat of the curry builds slowly, offering a tantalizing kick without overwhelming the palate. It's the kind of curry that makes you want to close your eyes and savor every single bite, reluctant to finish it because it's just that good.
Every Dish, a Triumph The passion and expertise in Mimi's kitchen is evident in every dish. Whether it’s the delicate balance of sweet and sour in the Pad Thai or the delicate flavors of the stir-fries, every bite shows a commitment to quality ingredients and authentic preparation. It's rare to find a restaurant that excels in every aspect of its menu, but Mimi’s does just that.
In conclusion, if you are anywhere near Weston-super-Mare and craving Thai food, Mimi’s Thai Bistro is a culinary treasure that should not be missed. The combination of expertly crafted starters, unforgettable soups, and soul-satisfying curries will leave you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Simply put, it’s the best Thai food you’ll...
Read moreAbsolutely beautiful! I messaged to book a table for 5pm, and when we arrived the staff greeted us were very friendly. Once we sat our server apologised for the closed sign on the door - which we didn't notice anyway - and she told us that they open at 5.30, we couldn't believe they opened earlier for us, they didn't know but it was for our anniversary dinner so it was a really kind gesture. We had the mixed starter for 2, which was beautiful not a single complaint or criticism! And then we had pad thai and pad krapow with jasmine rice, again was absolutely stunning, the only slight disappointment was the rice which was dry but it didn't ruin the meal at all. I waited a long time to visit and I will absolutely...
Read moreWent for dinner last night with my best friend and from the word go, everything was perfect. Beautiful decor and all of the waiting staff were beyond gracious and polite. The food was outstanding and maybe the best Thai food I have ever eaten ( and we’ve been to a lot of Thai restaurants) starters were all stunning, we sampled 4 different options. The star of the show was my main. I had the Som Tum/Papaya Salad with prawns. This was hands down the most authentic Thai dish I have ever had, the flavours were bursting and the prawns were huge and plentiful. I will be dreaming of this dish for some time, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Can’t recommend this...
