LOVELY MEAL We had a great meal here this evening. We ordered filo pastry prawns, tom yum and mussels to start and for mains we had massaman curry, prawn curry, pad Thai and a tamarind Duck dish. All were beautiful and tasty with plenty left for us to take home for tomorrows lunch. We shared a coconut pancake roll for pudding. Our autistic son had broken his foot and was in a wheel chair, the staff were very accommodating of us and found us a table that was easy to get to. Having read the reviews before coming I half wanted it to be a terrible meal so I could post a bad review, all the 1 star reviews had a really funny come back reply from the restaurant that made me laugh so much... However I can't fault the place. We will definitely return. Happy new year Barton Thai xx

A fantastic experience at Waterside Thai! We enjoyed the lunch menu: we had the chicken satays and chicken goujons to start and then the massaman curry and the chef special fried rice with green curry paste and vegetables. All were presented amazingly and most importantly, tasted amazing! The massaman curry was the best thai curry i’ve had, super flavourful. The restaurant itself was decorated beautifully and the staff were friendly and had quick service! Thankyou so much i’d definitely recommend!

Great Thai food, lovely service and lovely setting - the marina is a great spot for a walk before/after a nice meal. The restaurant itself feels very authentic, with the beautiful fountain and Buddha statue. The staff are always welcoming. During the week, there are great lunchtime deals for more affordable dining.
