Thai Chill Restaurant (Thai & Asian Street Food) — Restaurant in Trafford

Thai Chill, a Thai restaurant near me, consistently impresses with its top-notch offerings. My first visit left a lasting impression when I tried their signature crispy fried chicken wings—truly a game-changer. The chef's skill in achieving the perfect crispy texture outside and juicy tenderness inside was evident.

A unique touch was when the chef personally clarified that the bits atop the chicken weren't feathers but fragrant lemongrass. Unlike elsewhere, this attention to detail stood out.

The subsequent visits were too delicious to pause for photos; the food spoke for itself. The Hainanese chicken rice was exceptionally tender, while the fish ball seafood noodles carried an authentic fish essence. The coconut chicken soup's balance of flavours was a pleasant surprise, offering a light yet distinct profile.

Thirst-quenching Thai-style iced lemon tea replaced my initial query about the absence of Thai milk tea.

Each dish reflects their commitment to excellence, making every...

The menu was very limited, and quite a few of the Thai staples such as red curry or Pad Med Mamuang, or thai basil weren't there. The food portions were small, and the chicken was mashed with egg meaning the amount of meat in the already small portion wasn't enough. The food didn't taste like Thai food at all, it was an approximation of what it should taste like, and some of our party didn't get their food until 20 minutes after most of us had finished.

It was also expensive, I eat Thai food alot and this was expensive considering the quantity, quality, and the poor service (It appeared to be 2 chefs and one front of house, quite frequently I got up and helped myself to cutlery and bowls as I couldn't find anyone to serve me).

I wanted to like this restaurant as I like to support local businesses but unfortunately there wasn't much to enjoy about my visit. Hopefully they can get revamp the menu and get Thai chefs in, and I will...

This is not Thai food. This is a Hong Konger's vision of Thai food. Some of the menu is clearly Hong Kong style Cantonese cuisine. The operators are all Cantonese speakers. I doubt they have lived in Thailand before.

The red curry with egg was not Thai. They attempted to make a curry paste, but it felt as if they used Jamie Oliver's tasteless recipe rather than one from a real Thai chef. I don't think they have the knowledge or experience of balancing the flavours of lemongrass, lime leaves, turmeric, galangal, fermented prawn paste, and other heady aromatic ingredients. Hence, they didn't use them!

To top it off, it was about 30% more expensive than the genuine Thai restaurants operated by Thai people and trained Thai chefs.

In conclusion, this place is good for some Hong Kongers and others where the food has been adjusted to their tastes. Southeast Asians and others who have some experience of authentic Thai food,...
