Mays Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Liverpool

The gem of Childwall!

We opted for a 6pm reservation, which was perfect as we got to experience the restaurant before peak time on a Saturday evening.

Upon arrival the staff were friendly and polite and seating was well spaced.

Drinks:

Pint of Singha Bottle of wine - One Chain 'The Googly'

Starters:

Chicken Dumplings Chicken Satay Veg Sring Roll Tom Yum Soup - Seafood (Prawns, Mussels and Scallops) went for hot spice👌

All the starters were great.

The dumplings were similar to a sui mai, but not as heavy.

The spring rolls were crisp and light 😋

Chicken Satay- great and sauce very nice!

Soup - boom 💥 plenty of seafood and was hot!

Mains:

You definitely only need 1 main per person. The portions are plentiful and we actually took some home with us.

We ordered:

Stir fry crispy chicken cashew nut Phad Thai Pineapple fried rice served in pineapple with rasins & cashew nuts

All very nice and fresh.

The owner Chris was speaking to all the guests ensuring everyone was having a good time and had everything they needed.

He explained everything is cooked fresh on site and they don't use MSG. They also sponsor Thai cooks to come over from Thailand so the dishes are truly authentic.

Chris gave us the tour and the upstairs has been renovated to a fantastic standard. Notably, the upstairs ceiling has been removed displaying exposed oak beams and woodwork - creating an excellent dining space.

We stayed approx an hour and a half and had a great time.

Price was reflective of the experience and no complaints from us.

Its essential to book as it's always busy!

Highly...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Thai Experience at May’s

From the moment we walked into May’s Thai, we were greeted with a warm, friendly welcome that instantly set the tone for a fantastic evening. The staff are not only welcoming, but incredibly knowledgeable, effortlessly guiding us through the menu with genuine passion and expertise.

The decor is vibrant, colourful, and full of character, echoing the authenticity of the food and the proper “scouse welcome” , creating a lively yet comfortable atmosphere.

We started with the tempura king prawns — light, crispy, and perfectly cooked — a brilliant starter!! For mains, we shared the sweet-and-sour chicken with jasmine rice and the tamarind crispy duck served on a sizzling hot platter with prawn rice. That prawn rice deserves a special mention — giant, juicy king prawns stir-fried to perfection, lifted with fresh spring onion. It’s a dish in its own right.

The meal was not only delicious but also surprisingly affordable, making it a great choice for a midweek treat or special occasion.

A massive shoutout to Joe, who seemed to be everywhere at once — working at what felt like 100 miles an hour to make sure every guest was having the best possible experience. His energy and attentiveness didn’t go unnoticed.

May’s Thai isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience I’ll remember, and I’ll definitely be...

Really disappointed in the service here! We were the only ones in the restaurant. Went in for a bit of afternoon lunch, Told we could sit anywhere, so we chose a seat by the window. Staff came over with drinks quite quickly but then wanted to know our order after only seeing the menu for 2 min. The menu was not easy to understand and doesn't explain that you need to order your sides separately. The children's menu is only one course no drink or sides/ dessert included, we had to order our daughter a starter off the main menu which we feel defeated the object of a children's menu.

Staff did not explain what they didn't have on the menu, which lead to an awkward ordering as some of our order was, "not on the menu today" We then had to ASK is there anything else not on the menu to which the staff continued to tell us of other items not on. As we were eating our lunch two Staff were stood right next to us constantly messing round with the music system to put more songs on the play list in the restaurant, having their own conversations! This was very off putting as we were trying to eat our lunch and have our own conversations as a family! The food was ok but the service really lacks attention, it was really uncomfortable trying to enjoy our lunch. Maybe more attention on your customers needs rather prioritising the playlist of...
