Thai Pop Up - St Andrews

Grace Sadosky

We have been here a few times. Usually busy but food arrives fairly quickly. We usually order a bunch of dishes to share. Food tastes good though we wouldn’t say they are the most authentic Thai. But I think it works for the customer base here. Appetizers are only 4 pieces so I was hardly able to take any photos before they are snapped up! The Gyozas and fried rice are our best items tonight. We are glad that the Pad Thai did not come with tomato sauce as they often do in the US. Would have been great if server brought plates seeing that we are sharing our dishes. We had to ask several times.

My mum goes to the Thai pop up all the time and really likes it so i decided to go for the first time, i ordered the tom yum soup and didn’t even eat one bite as there was a hair in my food, the green curry doesn’t come with rice? when my mum asked about it the lady serving us had not a very nice attitude and then not even 5 minutes later a table near us was trying to order the Thai green curry and was told it didn’t come with rice ( when we ordered it wasn’t said.) partway into our meal a one of the servers came up to our table asking how our food was my mum started to say that we weren’t very happy but the lady had just turned her back on my mum and left. Really disappointing considering how much my mum was raving about how good this place was. The mango sticky rice is good though.

I have visited several times, but this is the first time I've experienced racial discrimination from three Thai waitresses. We are Asian. When I placed my order, waitress A served me with a cold and indifferent attitude. When my friend asked for four bowls because we ordered noodle soup and it would be hard to use plates, waitress A immediately showed displeasure in serving us, putting the bowls down with a sour face and leaving right away. I then noticed several times that waitress A was smiling and cheerful while serving white customers.

One of the dishes had carrots that were clearly sour and spoiled. We asked waitress A to replace it, but she pretended not to understand and repeatedly asked what we wanted. I had to insist that she replace it. Then, waitress B handed me the food very close to my face, startling me and making me feel uncomfortable.

When paying, I handed the money to waitress C. I believe everyone, regardless of their position, deserves respect. Waitress C returned the change with some force, placing it on the table for me to pick up myself. I felt truly disrespected and experienced racial discrimination. I admire their teamwork, and if they could apply this unity to providing good service and respecting others, I would consider coming back. The food is really good, but sometimes the weather is very hot this week, and I understand the kitchen can be very busy. Mistakes can be forgiven, but I cannot tolerate racial discrimination!

Quick service and yummy food. We had fish cakes, sweet corn fritters, curry chicken, and a combo dish. They all tasted hot and yummy.

But the portion was small, making this place somewhat expensive. Last time I had a takeout and the portion was small too.

Its a busy restaurant but the serving time is quite quick!
And to me is soo tasteful. I love everything i ordered, specially the tom yam ramen.
For one person is around £15.
My thai friend said its a fusion food, not authentic but its good.

看了小红书的推荐过来的～说实话～推荐没去过泰国，没吃过泰餐的人～
冬阴功汤是粉泡出来的～可能原材料不足吧，没有香茅，没有辣椒，味道和泰国当地的不能说一样，只能说是完全不一样
好吧～其他菜品自己去体会吧

Hidden away on the charming outskirts of St. Andrews, Scotland, lies a family-run Thai restaurant that offers a culinary journey straight to the heart of Southeast Asia.

The menu displayed an array of tantalizing dishes, and we started our Thai escapade with the fried squid. Despite being slightly on the expensive side for a starter, the squid's perfect marination and sublime frying technique justified the cost. It was a scrumptious introduction to what was to come.

The main course was a gastronomical triumph. We savored the pork kaprow paired with fried egg rice, an aromatic ensemble that transported our taste buds straight to the bustling street markets of Thailand. The dish was a spicy delight, offering just the right level of heat for a stimulating kick without overpowering the intricate layers of flavor.

The innovative fusion of Thai flavors with a Japanese favorite was evident in their Tom Kha Ramen. It presented a creamy soup, brimming with the tangy tamarind undertones that masterfully balanced the dish's overall saltiness. Their Tom Yum Ramen followed suit but lacked the expected spicy note. Yet, it would be an absolute treat for those who enjoy the flavor profile of Tom Yum soup without its characteristic fiery punch.

What impressed us the most was the generous portions of seafood and noodles in both ramen dishes. Each spoonful was a hearty mix of texture and taste, making them a good value for money.

In conclusion, this hidden gem in St. Andrews is a standout in the realm of Thai cuisine. With its delightful food, charming atmosphere, and attentive service, it has become my go-to Thai destination. I eagerly anticipate making many more trips to this establishment to sample the rest of their mouthwatering menu.

Came here on a solo date and the food blew me away! The atmosphere made me feel so comfortable being here by myself and the waitresses were so kind and attentive despite being super busy!
