Phansit's Kitchen Reviews

Well worth the several visits we have made. The food is a delight. Freshly cooked and the wait you need to make is rewarded. It gives the taste buds bursts of delicious flavours, none of which overpowers. Bideford needed a really good eating venue, and is truly blessed to have Phansit's Kitchen. We have it at the top of our list for taking discerning dining friends when they come to visit.

I feel this is the best restaurant in the area. I enjoy eating out and Phansit's is my top choice as the food is authentic, freshly prepared in front of your eyes and the ingredients are locally sourced. We eat there as often as possible and often choose from the specials board, which regularly changes. I have recommended Phansit’s to both friends and colleagues who have all been impressed. If you like fresh food with flavour, this is the place to go.

The food was absolutely amazing. It was the best Thai food I have ever tasted, and the service was great too; thoroughly recommend.

It was the best Thai food I've eaten since Thailand, and better than many there too! Phansits classic Thai dishes are totally authentic and packed with flavour, and their fusion food uses the best of local ingredients - try the pheasant jungle curry made with local game and elderberries.

Phansit's Kitchen is one of the best places to eat in North Devon. Excellent food and friendly staff, booking essential.

The members of staff are friendly and informed. The kitchen sparkles and the surroundings are pleasant and relaxing. Above all they have the most gorgeous and scrumptious food. We discovered Phansits Kitchen purely by chance last night, and have been spreading the word ever since. We can't wait to go back again.

We have visited Phansits Kitchen three times and every time we have been delighted. You can see the food being freshly cooked in a spotless kitchen fully on view. The food is very authentic, beautifully spiced and you can say how spicy you want it. The service is very good and whoever takes the phone bookings is also very polite. You can take your own wine as they do not have a licence and they make the standard corkage rate of £3, which make for a cheaper evening out. I would not hesitate in recommending Phansits to anyone.

My husband and I live in Ilfracombe - forty minutes away from Bideford. When we feel the mood for some great fusion or Thai food we are more than happy to make the journey - discussing en-route the delicious feast that awaits us. Phansit and Sarah provide wonderful food, and a fabulous ambience – laid-back, relaxed and amiable with amazing dishes like jungle curry, spicy crab salad, or sea bass with Thai spices. As for the desserts - give me anything with coconut ice cream and I'm happy, give it to me with crispy bananas and I'm in heaven. This place is nothing short of amazing.

Top notch food with some recipes passed down through generations apparently. The service was friendly and swift. The decor was simple, bright and unpretentious. There is a beautiful feel to the place in general.

Absolutely the best Thai food with emphasis on highly quality ingredients and all dishes are original and not the usual bulk standard Thai menu. For those supporting the ‘chicken out’ campaign, no battery chicken is used. Five star in every respect.
