What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Thai House Restaurant is celebrated for its authentic Thai cuisine and excellent value, particularly noted for its flavorful Pad Thai and the unique live noodle soup experience on weekends. While many praise the taste and affordability, some reviews mention inconsistencies in quality and service over time, with one diner noting a lack of vegan options and poor handling of a service issue. Despite these concerns, it remains a popular spot for both dine-in and take-out.
"Great prices for students, and you have to try their noodle soup on Fridays and Saturdays’ lunch!"
Barbara
"Some dishes here are decent, some less so. But you really get what you pay for and you won't leave hungry. I like their Pad Thai, even though it's not authentic and doesn't really resemble classic Pad Thai, it has flavor and fills you up nicely. I didn't really like their red curry though, it was tasteless and they gave me 3 pieces of tofu so I ended up eating just rice and sauce. Ofc, loempias were tasty...
For 5-8€ you can really fill up and you won't be disappointed as their food tastes fine. I never tried their Friday and Saturday street food but I think that could be much nicer (also more expensive)."
