    Booked this instead of going to Wagamama having read the reviews. It is definitely worth a visit. Try Thai starter was great value for money and so tasty. Really lovely food, fast service and value for money.

    Excellent food and friendly service, would highly recommend a visit as is very central to everything in Manchester. We dined here prior to going to the Palace Theatre which was a 7 minute walk away, so really handy.

    This is a large buzzing city centre Thai restaurant. To be honest the food is nothing out of the ordinary but it is not that expensive and the atmosphere makes the place a good choice for a noisy night out with friends.

    Very average food - prices are relatively high considering other nearby restaurants. Sadly there was a small gnat of fly in the soy sauce - will not be going back.

    We are regulars here - the spicy beef salad is amazing but yesterday it was wayyy too hot for me My mouth was on fire for an hour after. Apart from that the food was amazing - my fault for not telling them to go easy on the chilli for the salad only issue was the service charge added to the bill when the service was pretty slow and the restaurant very quiet We asked for it to be removed and left a cash amount we thought more appropriate

    Very disappointed with the prices! We asked for water and we have normally had a jug of tap water, this time we were not asked and given a bottle for £4.50… ridiculous, tap water in this country is excellent, and who knows how long water has been sat in a bottle, plus glass? Very wasteful, expensive and clearly making money in it. We didn’t send it back as had just arrived and didn’t want to start making a fuss… however, when we were charged service without being consulted, the whole experience will not be happening again, as we won’t be going there any more. The wine per glass was also extortionate! Never again.

    Took my mum for her birthday on a Thursday ,we both had the lunch time menu £13.99 for 3 courses.This was excellent value the portion size was good and both starter and main were the best Thai meal I’ve had in a long while. They played happy birthday for my mum and brought a piece of cheesecake over with a candle in ,made mums birthday really special

    Good looking place with great staff. Sadly my wife chose a dish which was much too hot for her, the staff did all they could to make it possible for her to eat it but the heat continued!! This was a problem of our choice of dish not of the establishment and would not stop us from returning.

    We were refused when requested to swap a dish on banquet by waiter despite previously having done so without any issues. Management need to communicate to staff that alternatives are permitted. The quality and flavour of food is unmatched anywhere else and that’s what draws me back time & again.

    Our first visit to Try Thai and overall an outstanding experience. We had a banquet which includes starter & mains. Food quality was excellent, starter was quite surprisingly spicy so took plenty of water on board. Mains of red and green curry’s, sweet & sour pork, seafood selection, & Rice, etc all really good, fresh and tasty, perhaps next time not have such a large selection of mains and streamline it down to one only each. But otherwise a fantastic first dining experience at Try Thai in Manchester.

    My most recent visit to try Thai was for my birthday. I have been going there for quite a few years and it is one of my favourite restaurants in Manchester. The food is always tasty and beautifully presented. It is very reasonable in price and stylishly appointed. (Try to spot the Darth Had a statuette!) the staff are lovely. They are very welcoming and unfailingly pleasant. The only negative comment I have and this is due to my arthritic knees, is the log staircase entry! However it is doable and worth the climb! 5+ from me
