Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have visited Tom Yum Thai Kitchen a numerous amounts of times over a few years and I have never been disappointed. The Banquet Tom Yum on the set menu is amazing value for money and the dishes included are just out of this world - this is personally my favourite choice on the menu and cannot wait to try more!
The staff are incredibly friendly and nothing is too much trouble, they're very welcoming and polite.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant is brilliant, beautifully decorated and outstanding cleanliness.
Also I would HIGHLY recommend the deep fried ice-cream they offer on their dessert menu! It's the best thing I've ever and is amazingly presented!
Overall I would definitely 100% recommend anyone to try this lovely place, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait for my next visit!
See you soon

Fantastic welcome and service
We had a toddler with us but nothing was too much trouble
Tom Yam soup was the best soup I have ever had - so tasty, slightly spicy.
Chicken stir fry with cashews, and vegetable curry had amazing flavours.
Mocktails were refreshing and looked fabulous
Will definitely go again.

Wowzers, this was the best Thai food we've had. The Massaman curry was incredible and it's a real bonus that they cater for vegetarians and allergies. The setting is delightful in the old Mill- the industrial backdrop with Thai decor and panache. The staff were super friendly, I'd love to come back again and again. We'd recommend a walk around the River Garden park to take in the old Strutt Mill before dining. Book in advance to avoid disappointment.

We ate there in early July 2022 and had a very nice meal indeed. Portion sizes were just right and we both thought the food was very tasty. If they stayed open longer, I bet they would do so much better business - when I rang and booked, the lady seemed desperate to let me know that the kitchen closed at 20:30 and they actually turned someone away due to this while we were sitting there.
I would happily return, making sure I was there in plenty of time before 20:30!!!

Nice restaurant with authentic Thai cuisine. Great staff and Daeng oversaw our service. Prompt service, realistic tasting ( we’ve been to Thailand many times and this food is very authentic). Will visit again next time we visit Belper - Jungle Curry ped ped - if you like hot and spicy, give it a try

We visited with friends, after previously having food here in the past. The food is really, really good and we love parking near the river and enjoying the view. The service was slightly slow, but that's the only negative we could find. We would definitely recommend.

My partner and I were happy to find out that they’re now open for takeaway on Fri, Sat, Sun night. Food as good as inside the restaurant - we actually live 20 mins away and it was still piping hot when we got home. Portions probably bigger then inside too! Amazing food as always - thanks!

As Tom Yum regulars, we had not been since lockdown so decided to go and see how they were coping with the new restrictions. We were warmly welcomed as usual and they did a great job socially distancing their customers. They wore masks but that did not detract from the excellent service and food. The full menu was available and we had tempura prawn starters with duck with coconut sauce (58) OMG you must try it! 10 out of 10 well done, we will be back.

Went on a very quiet cold Wednesday early evening. Thai green prawn curry and Beef Massaman curry were the best we have had. The wine was good and reasonably priced. Service was very good and our hostess was lovely.We are looking forward to our next visit.

We spent £28 on food for 2, we received what we call half portions. £11.50 for chicken but there more sauce and vegetables but not much chicken!. Our portion of ribs were 4 Tiny mouthbites. The prawn crackers was so small it was half a bag. Egg noodles plain and dry.
So if you are Hungary, please avoid as it will cost you a fortune to feed a family of 4.
We feel this is very bad value for money.

Great food and great service
Manu has so much variety of Thai dishes. Reasonably priced too. Well worth having one of the set banquet options if you're new to Thai food

We took my father-in-law here for his birthday but I was very disappointed. I shared the mixed starters which were quite tasty apart from the Thai fish cakes which were rubbery. The satay skewers were nice but there was no heat in the peanut sauce whatsoever.
I had the hottest dish on the menu; the sweet basil thai chicken boasting 3 chillis and I found it very mild and with a weird cleaning fluid type taste?
Other meals ordered were the massaman curry (very mild but tasty) red Thai curry (very mild but tasty) and the battered sea bass fillets which was probably the hottest meal on the table but strangely only had one chilli on the heat menu. The sticky rice was far too sticky.
Positives- the pad Thai was very nice, the other rice dishes were also well cooked. The service was good, and the decor was authentic and pleasant. There was no background music which was a bit weird as there were very few people in the restaurant so we could hear other conversations.
I won’t be returning, sorry.

Visited for dinner with friends. Great atmosphere, feels cosy, welcoming and relaxing. We were able to hear ourselves talks as tables are not crammed on top of each other. The food was very tasty - Thai Green Curry. Staff were helpful when I asked for some changes to a menu item (I don't like tofu and am vegetarian). Rice was slightly stickier than I expected but OK. Good sized portions.

I’ve tried visiting this place for a few years but after a’they had a flood and covid hit the country I finally got to dine here . And boy was it worth the wait . Two of us ordered the mixed platter , tiger prawns and spicy crackers to start . Amazing wasn’t the word to describe it ! Had a half hour break the mains arrived . Duck tamarino with sticky rice and my partner grilled pork with egg fried noodle. Portions were great sized and spent the evening eating everything lol. I’d definitely recommend and will definitely have this on my list as I work away a lot and dine out every day and night.
