My partner and I decided we'd have dinner at Try Thai following all the excellent reviews. Perhaps my expectations had been set too high as a result but I thought the food was average at best. Enjoyable...but distinctly average. We had battered aubergine to start which was swimming in oil, then moved on to a main which was a good... More

We dined here our first night in Manchester, and found it in Chinatown. Great decor and very clean, the service was excellent and the food was really great. No complaints here! Definitely worth a try if you want a safe, clean place to eat some thai food.

We dined quite late on a Tuesday night so it was not that busy. The starter we had was a mixed platter, and it was excellent, especially the prawns. The mains were very good too. Would go again.

I have no idea why this is in the top 100 restaurants in our glorious city. I've been here twice and it was toilet both times. Its basically sugary overpriced food served in cramped environment. The lighting is nice and the decor isn't bad, but that's still cant destract from the fact the food tastes nothing like good Thai food... More

Dear SENIOR Contributor, I am sorry that our Thai food did not please your palette or wallet. I usually try to be as courteous to all potential diners; however I apologise in advance if my response sounds sassy. I genuinely appreciate your positive criticism. TA is not a guide to Michelin star restaurants. Whatever restaurant is #1 today would definitely... More

This wasn't our first choice of Thai restaurants in Manchester but we'd certainly recommend it and go back again. It's in the Chinese Quarter and there is a first floor bar and eating area, with music and TV screens but on the floor above is the main restaurant which has a much better atmosphere. It was a busy Saturday evening... More

We have enjoyed thai food for many years and have eaten in thai restaurants throughout the area. Try Thai is among the best we have dined in. The food was served quickly and beautifully presented. The crispy sea bass dish had a good balance of flavours and blended well with the jasmine rice. The jumbo king prawn was also very... More

We were lucky to pass by this restaurant. A little bit hidden and up on the second floor. We were in Thailand for the Holiday 2012, and I felt being back in Thailand. Great food at a great value and great atmosphere.

Good food - they stated that the halaal chicken and beef are stored and cooked separately, so was reassured. The red curry and beef cashewnut stir fry were good, but not Thai enough for me as it was a bit sweet and not hot! Next time I will ask them to make it more spicy and hot! Wonderful selection of...

Tried the set three course lunch today.super value for £8.50 and a very wide choice of starters,main course and an ice cream dessert. Naturally, the usual smiling,professional and speedy service from the Thai staff. Would wholeheartedly recommend the Try Thai for lunch and look forward to going in the evening in the future.
