One of the top St Albans restaurants, Thai Square is housed within a beautifully restored 15th Century timber frame building.

We are one of the top Thai restaurants in this ancient English city, and were honoured as a finalist in the 2017 Hertfordshire Food and Drink Awards.

Our St Albans restaurant location has a bar area with a wide and varied selection of wines and cocktails, making it the perfect place for both dinner and drinks.

Be sure to try the Massaman and Green curries and our popular house special grilled barbecue pork on skewer ‘Moo Ping’. They are lovingly prepared by our head chef who was trained in Northeastern Thailand, which is known for spicy salads and soups. These dishes are recommended by our customers and dedicated kitchen team alike.

Delightful wedding anniversary dinner. Lovely ambiance, tasteful decor and we had a good window table. The service was prompt and courteous in attending to our requests. The food was simply delightful, an orchestra of delicious tastes delivered in visually appealing ways. All in all a memorable outing for the Mrs and I.

The whole experience was awful. The food was awful, not cooked properly. The service very poor. They only had two people waiting a full downstairs restaurant. I came away feeling so disappointed having wasted so much money on such awful food. So many great restaurants in St Albans. I will never return. FYI, I never write bad reviews but this experience was awful. Worst Thai meal I have ever had. I used to visit the restaurant regularly but will never return now. The restaurant also didn’t look very clean.

This is one of our favourite places to go for dinner. Amazing food, usually amazing service but on this occasion one of the women working there was very rude. Erratically showing us to our table and rushing around and being very blunt and rude whilst speaking to us. Snatching menus off of the table etc. It felt like being there was an inconvenience to be there. Also I chose to leave cash instead of pay the service in the bill. As I asked for the bill minus service to be paid on card she snatched the tray away so had to leave the cash tip on the table. This won’t put us off going back but hopefully it’s on her day off or a day when there’s a better mood!

I rang the restaurant the day before my booking and asked whether they provide heaters and they reassured me that they did. The next day I got to the restaurant and it was cold! I then asked the waitress wether they will be switching the heater on and her response was as it was raining they won’t be providing any heating as it’s electrical heaters. As far as I’m aware it was a light drizzle. So we were eating outside with no heaters and not to mention there wasn’t any light outside other than the street lamp. Thank goodness for that otherwise I will be eating in the dark!

It’s been a while since we’ve eaten at Thai Square so we’re looking forward to it, but were underwhelmed. Service was good but food was disappointing. The prawns in my wife’s red Thai curry were undercooked and the dish lacked depth of flavour. My red ruck curry was nice enough but nothing special. The corn cakes and papaya salad we had as starters were enjoyable and the meal was reasonably priced. As such, a nice meal but nothing special.

Very organised with appropriate COVID measures in place. We were sat at the table but were not told how to order and didn’t notice the QR code on the table. It wasn’t until we had been there for ten mins and someone came to take the order that, we were told to the menu was online. Not a problem but probably better to be told at the beginning. I ordered a noodle dish - pad sie ew, as my main. The chicken tasted as if it had not been cooked from fresh and the whole dish lacked a bit of flavour. Mixed starters were lovely however.
