Diners rave about the fresh ingredients and bold flavors of the dishes, particularly the Chicken Green Curry and the Prawn Pad Thai, which come highly recommended. The warm ambience coupled with excellent service makes every visit feel special. One standout is the Thai Milk Tea, which has a dedicated following for its impeccable taste that's reminiscent of Thailand. The dessert selection, especially the Sticky Rice with Mango, is a favorite way to end the meal.

Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the restaurant's success can lead to busy evenings, making reservations advisable to avoid long wait times. While many appreciate the calm atmosphere, a few guests wonder if the quiet can feel too subdued during busy hours. The spice levels can vary, so food enthusiasts seeking extreme heat may want to inquire about customization options. Also, a select few have expressed that sometimes the portion sizes fall slightly short, particularly for heartier appetites. While most patrons love the friendly staff, a couple of reviews note that service can slow during peak dining times.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is incredibly fresh, made with top quality ingredients and a depth of flavour that is really on another level. The service is excellent: always friendly and attentive. We go as a family and we all agree - from the youngest to the most discerning - that this is the best Thai restaurant we have ever been to. Everything is cooked to order, the flavour is supreme, and you can taste the freshness in every dish. Plus, the ambience is soft and calm, a place that not only offers amazing food, but also an experience that conveys peace.

Amazing food and service. We had three starters corn cakes, fish cakes and chicken satay. For mains, we had chicken pad see ew and grilled chicken with papaya salad. All the dishes very perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. Chicken was moist and flavourful, unlike a lot of other Thai restaurants. Also I like that dishes were not overly sweet. The waitress was also very friendly and attentive. Definitely will be coming back.

Very nice Thai food in a slightly quieter street in Kingston. We were the first people in on a Saturday evening, so the service was very prompt and friendly. We ordered Pad Thai, Grilled Chicken and plain Jasmine Rice — along with a Tiger Lager and some Jasmine Tea. Pad Thai was very nice, with not much spice, and they did give you the option to add heat with chilli flakes which were on the side of the plate. The grilled chicken had lovely flavour with nice crispy bits of skin, but the salad was fairly spicy. Definitely recommend if you're into Thai or other Asian cuisines.

Authentic Thai food with the most reasonable price and friendly service in a nice Thai decorated and scented restaurant. Will return for sure. Was craving for good Thai food and my friend recommended Thai On Thames. First bite of the chicken satay dipped in their curry sauce made me smile as I immediately knew the spring roll and pad see ew with prawns would be great too. I told the lady who served my table how much I enjoyed the meal and extended my gratitude to their Thai chef. It’s the authentic flavor I had during my every visit to their country. Please keep up these cooking!

Really testy, and authentic Thai recipes. Mango salad was fresh, going to come back next time visiting Kingston. Never had fried prawns that beautifully cooked like this before.
