Bish, bash, bosh. Well, it was anniversary time, so we decided to try somewhere that's been on the radar for a while Blue Sapphire Thai Cuisine in Denton. I'll start off by saying parking for any of the Denton restaurants is a nightmare!
Anyway got there at opening time and got a table before the inevitable rush. Drinks ordered, two mocktails as they don't serve alcohol, but you can bring your own for a corkage fee. The drinks were great though, very fresh and tasty.
We ordered the starters and shared the mixed platter and I had a bowl of Tom Kha Gai, and both were absolutely superb. Again, super fresh, great tastes and bang on.
Mains were vegetarian Pad Thai and Tamarind duck with egg fried rice. Both dishes absolutely smashed it out of the park. The duck was especially worth a mention as it's easy to make a mess of it, but no, they didn't here.
Anyway, overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5. Only deducting a star because the dessert choices as my other half said, were utterly tragic.
A rehash of the dessert menu offering items like Thai mango sticky rice or coconut pudding etc would get that extra star.
Try it, you won't be...

I had Thai milk tea. My wife had her small bottle of red wine, and my daughter had an apple and orange juice. On to the mains, and they were out in a flash again. The staff were super attentive and on their ‘a’ game. We all agreed the food was hot, tasted fresh and was of a very good standard. Our standards, I would say, are quite high. We have been to most of the Thai restaurants in the Greater Manchester area to know what'd okay and what's good. The price was on the higher side than we’d usually pay but was well worth it because of...

The food is always fresh and so flavourful, beautiful Thai food, quality way beyond its unassuming location you pay a lot more for less in the City Center. The staff are so lovely and will get to know you, going out of their way to make you feel welcome.
