“ Reviewing on behalf of my mum who said “This is one of the best dishes I have ever had in my life, you have to leave a review about it!”. So here we are, Maureen recommends the yellow curry with chicken and potatoes ”
“ Nice Thai restaurant with a rather wide menu compared to the Thai chains I've found around Marseilles. I got my order to go, or "Take Away" and they did the best job of packaging it up, it literally could not possibly leak. All the normal carry out containers where then practically shrink wrapped in cellophane. This not only made sure nothing leaked, but kept it all extra hot. The food was very good, although not at all spicy, but I think that was my fault as they probably thought that as an American I wasn't up for real spicy. Next time I will know to ask them to add some heat. But still, very good food and well priced. I will certainly be back the next time I am in Marseilles. I also used Google Translate on the pictures of the menu that where online to make English versions and I'm uploading those here so you know what they have. ”
“ Food was enjoyable but nothing to write home about. I got the pad Thai with chicken - it wasn’t bland but it also wasn’t bursting with flavour. The plate also lacked vegetables (eg broccoli, baby corn, carrots, zucchini), peanuts and tofu which left something to be desired. Yellow curry with seafood was enjoyable and filling. We asked for level 2 spice and it wasn’t that hot at all, don’t be afraid to go for level 3 if you like it hot! Would recommend for a reliable, well-cooked meal. ”
“ Pretty authentic Thai except for the lack of spiciness in the food, what it is key for me! Service was quick and kind. 28 euros for Shrimp Tom Yam, Payaya salad and Thai green chicken curry. ”
“ Absolutely incredible Thai spot. Every dish we had was amazing, and our waiter, the owner, was very kind, personable and accommodating. I highly recommend!! ”
“ The food was good with the big portions and the service mind was nice. If i return to Marseille. I'm going to Piment Thai again. ”
“ The food is delicious but it doesn’t taste authentic (probably adapted to the French palate). Friendly staff and quiet environment. ”
