THAI BAAN Thai street food — Restaurant in England

This restaurant had been recommended to me, so I decided to give it a try on a day trip to Chester. It's located right in the historic centre, on pedestrianised Bridge Street. Plenty of outside tables. It was very busy when I arrived, but the waiter managed to find me a table near the window. The restaurant itself is small and cosy, with exposed brick walls, embellished with colourful decorations and little fairy lights. Thai music was playing in the background. Popular with Thai families and also young international travellers, all contributing to this place's happy and vibrant atmosphere. Dog friendly too. The staff were welcoming, polite and attentive. There was an extensive drinks menu that included Thai beer and a wide selection of wines, but I wanted a soft drink so I tried a Thai iced tea with milk. Really refreshing, sweet and delicious - I loved it! Spoilt for choice with the food too - a great variety of authentic Thai dishes on the menu. I chose from the set lunch menu; you get one small plate and one main for £16.50, usually served together, but mine came separately. Ordered the maing moo grob (crispy pork belly with lettuce, peanuts and tamarind sauce), and the geang panang, a creamy red curry served with steamed rice (I chose to have chicken in my curry). The pork belly was tender and flavourful, and the curry was aromatic but not too spicy. The meal was reasonably priced, but did include an optional service charge. I enjoyed both the tasty food and the ambience of this friendly little café, and would certainly...

First time visiting Thai Baan Street Food whilst out having a day trip around Chester and very impressed with the food at this place.!! 👌

Only came this place by chance after Google ing Asian food places whilst out exploring the city an would deffently Bob back when back in town.

The service was prompt and the staff are rely freinldy an helpful, the menu was vast!! Certainly a wide selection if dishes to choose from an for someone who would like to think had eaten an exsplored quite a lot of Asian food in the past, found quite a few dishes that I hadn't come across before.!!

We had tbe Thai prawn checkers to start, and they rely don't skim on their portion size. Was presented with a massive bowl! With three rely lovely dips compliment. We the had for our mains the traditional pad Thai with chrispy chicken this was rely orthenic, sweet an savoury, an also treud the ba mee moo dang nou gow - not tried this before but would certainly have again.🍜

We did try the Salt & Peper tofo, but being honenst wasn't a fan. This was a bit over greasy ( didn't realise it was deep fried, tufo deep fried don't work for use, just soaks up grease like spounge ) - But would say the batter was very light and crispy.

Would certainly give this place another try if was aback in Chester again. A would recommend to family and friends.

Deffenlty worth the visit if you fancy a thai...
