Thai Kitchen in Mold has recently celebrated its two year anniversary having moved from mobile takeaway to a town centre location.
Owners Lucas and Paranya Mager started the business in July 2020 initially serving Thai dishes from a mobile food hut on the Bromfield Industrial Estate.
In September of last year they opened the doors to their new takeaway premises tucked away on Mold’s Chester Street.
The takeaway offers a range of classic noodle dishes such as pad thai, pad see ew, pad mee, pad kee mao as well as Thai green and red curry, massaman curry, panang curry and a range of different stir fry dishes.
Having moved into larger premises the menu of the restaurant is continually expanding and they recently introduced two banquet options.
Thai food is a firm favourite in my household and I have regularly enjoyed the noodle dishes from Thai Kitchen in Mold even from the days of the mobile food hut.
However, on learning of their new banquet menu I was eager to try the range of starters on offer.
The takeaway offers two variations of the banquet for a minimum of two people; Banquet A for £23.95 or a vegetarian Banquet B for £16.95 per person.
We chose to go for the Banquet A which offered starters of satay skewers, spring rolls, chicken wings, chicken toast and sweet and sour ribs.
I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size of the starters.
Given that we got a banquet meal for two people to share between three there was more than enough food.
For me, the stand-out dish of the entire meal was the sweet and sour ribs.
Often ribs tend to mainly consist of fried batter in a sticky sauce, however these ribs were loaded with meat and cooked to perfection.
I had high hopes for the spring rolls as one TripAdvisor reviewer said they were: "definitely the best tasting vegetable spring rolls ever!" in their review from February of this year.
Although I am reserved to award these rolls the 'best' title, they were definitely full of flavour, crunchy and packed with vegetables.
I found the prawn toast slightly overcooked however, both my parents enjoyed this dish especially with the sweet chilli sauce that was provided.
Unlike the prawn toast, the satay chicken was cooked perfectly and the peanut based sauce provided a balanced accompaniment.
The main dishes in the banquet included; green curry, stir fry chicken and cashew nuts and a stir fry satay chicken.
The portion sizes were extremely generous and all three were loaded with varied vegetables and meat.
I personally enjoyed the chicken and cashew nut, however those who don't enjoy spice should be cautious as this dish certainly packed a punch.
Whilst the flavour of both the green curry and satay chicken was enjoyable, I found the dish very runny and messy to distribute onto plates.
The head chef of Thai Kitchen is Aom, who is originally from a village called Loei which is in the North East of Thailand.
According to the website: "It is Thai culture to feed their guests with absolutely mouth watering, delicious food, and this is what Aom’s passion is.
"If you ever go to visit Aom in her home she always has her wok out and will always offer to cook you up something to eat whilst you're visiting.
"Thai Kitchen's passion is to serve fresh, delicious, authentic Thai dishes and have a good rapport with their customers."
The restaurant currently operates as a takeaway however has a set up of table and chairs with a view to allowing customers to enjoy their takeaway meals inside the restaurant.
I found the service at the takeaway extremely quick and efficient as I ordered in person and only had to wait around 15 minutes.
I thoroughly enjoyed the starters in the banquet and the portion sizes were generous, however, in future, I will be sticking with noodles and starters over the curry dishes.
