Piran Thai — Restaurant in England

I live in Perranporth, and have been coming here for years. I have eaten at a lot of Thai restaurants and takeaways and this just doesn’t hit the spot anymore. I feel like there is a huge lack of love going into her meals these days. Her flavours used to be incredible. I used to rave about this place, and never heard a bad word. But over the last few years, it’s just gone downhill sadly.

Last night, unfortunately was the last time we will waste our money on this place.

Her pad Thai, which to me is the most simple of Thai dishes, doesn’t even come when peanuts, chilli and slice of lime like it should and is incredibly sweet. (I did ask for these, she said she doesn’t have them, which is a bit of an odd thing for a Thai takeaway to say!)

The dumplings, used to come with a delicious sauce, now they come dry and flavourless to be honest.

The Massaman (which, was always a firm favourite from this place) barely has any depth of flavour, just coconut with a bit of spice and in the curry, along with some other veg we only had one tiny potato.

It’s super sad, as Thai is my all time favourite. But I just can’t justify spending my money here anymore, when it just isn’t up to the standard of another place we have recently started to visit since getting fed up of being let down by Piran Thai.

We did keep returning even after a few bad meals, not only because of convenience but because we think the owner is lovely and we wanted to support her but we won’t be visiting again.

I refrained from writing a review, but I feel that now, something needs to be...

PIRAN THAI - Where the Veg is Fresh, the Sauce is Magic, and the Staff Deserve a Round of Applause

PIRAN THAI in Perranporth is an absolute little star of a Thai takeaway. You walk in thinking, “I’ll just grab a quick dinner,” and you walk out feeling like you’ve just been personally fed by someone’s lovely Thai grandma with a black belt in flavour.

The food? Sublime. The vegetables were so fresh I half expected them to still be growing. The sauce, oh, the sauce, proper tasty, full of depth, and good enough to consider drinking straight out of the container if no one’s watching. The noodles were spot-on too, that perfect mix of soft and a little bite, with just the right amount of sauce clinging to them.

But what really makes PIRAN shine is the service. The staff are quick, friendly, and somehow make you feel like the most important customer of the day, even though they’re clearly busy keeping everyone happy. The whole experience was efficient and warm, like they’ve mastered the art of takeaway hospitality.

So if you’re after fresh, flavour-packed Thai food and brilliant service in Perranporth, PIRAN is your place. Just don’t be surprised when you find yourself planning your next order before you’ve even...

Myself and my partner come to Perranporth every year and have visited this Thai take away for the past couple years now and everytime they dont disappoint the most delicious food around in Perranporth! We now have a two year old who also demolished her noodles! She is the most fussiest eater I know! We look forward to next time! Also the ladies here are so so lovely! So welcoming and happy!

For anyone who wants to know what we had, I had the cashew stir fry with chicken and noodles and shared this with my daughter and my partner had the Thai green curry with rice and crackers! We also shared some spring rolls which were delicious!!
