Everyday Thai - Bristol, City of

Our son is studying at UWE and lives five minutes walk from here. We visited over the weekend to celebrate his delayed degree results. We decided we wanted a Thai meal and he suggested Everyday Thai having been recommended it by housemates. We booked on Friday. Saturday lunchtime I had a call to confirm my booking. How glad I was that we had booked. I couldn't believe that somewhere tucked away in Fishponds could be so busy! The entrance was like bees round a honey pot but our host, Pickky, had everything under control and we were soon seated and drinks ordered. Such a lot of tasty choices on the menu. What to choose. We settled on the Tapas selection for starters: calamari, crispy vegetables and spring rolls. For mains we chose chicken with cashew nuts, king prawn with cashew nuts and pad Thai. Whilst we waited we watched moped delivery drivers arriving and leaving, all handled smoothly and meals being served expertly to a table of eight and a table of twelve, as well as numerous take away collections. Our starters arrived, exquisitely presented how did they carve a carrot into a flower. Very tasty! The calamari was perfect. Sometimes some restaurants can over cook it and it can be rubbery. The vegetables were excellent. Peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, even cauliflower! Hats off to the chefs. My son doesn't care much for cauliflower but was impressed with the taste. The food was all hot We were hungry and even ate the shredded carrot and cabbage dressing, although it was difficult to dip it in the sauce, partly because we'd devoured so much of it! We waited in anticipation for our mains. We commented that we should have ordered some prawn crackers. As if reading our minds, our waiter came over to apologise for the wait and bringing some complimentary prawn crackers! Most welcome. The mains arrived and they didn't disappoint. Tasty and plentiful. A real treat! All too often in oriental restaurants and takeaways the main course meat or fish has little vegetable accompaniment but not so with ours. Equally, dishes with cashew nuts can sometimes have me looking for the cashews. Definitely not the case. Plenty of prawns and chicken. Plenty of vegetables. Plenty of rice. Plenty of pleasant conversation. Plenty of activity still in the kitchen and front of house! All in all a really nice meal, really nice company, really nice staff, a really nice restaurant and a really nice price!

Can’t believe it’s taken us so long to discover this gem! Superb Thai takeaway and even though it was very busy in the restaurant, the staff were so friendly as we waited. Good quality was excellent, fresh, tasty and none of that sitting heavy on your stomach you can get with a takeaway. Thoroughly recommended

I recommended Everyday Thai for a night out with friends, and after hearing great things about the food, we were not let down. We were all very impressed, and I believe we have gained a few new fans. The atmosphere is cozy, the service was attentive but not hovering, and the food was simply fantastic.

This used to be my go-to for a great value for money meal but sadly the prices have risen again so now it's quite expensive. £30 per person for a set meal with crispy duck. They never give you enough pancakes so you have to ask for more which they charge for. The food is good and we always have to take some home so enough for at least a few more meals at home. Service is very good.

The Thai food here is and has been for many years absolutely beautiful. If you like Thai food.. you will really enjoy this restaurant. Excellent and friendly service just adds to the experience. Don’t be put off by the “no alcohol” rule.
