Thai Guy To Go - Ballina

I am a big fan of Thai food, so I was delighted to discover this restaurant in my hometown. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the meal. There are vegetarian options available, and the peppered vegetable stir fry I ordered was delicious.

I get food here pretty often (normally the pad Thai) and it’s almost always great, but sometimes the pad Thai is just awful when these two chefs are cooking. I’m not sure who they are but whenever their in the pad Thai isn’t that great, and it’s always missing parts of it. I’m writing this because I just got food now and it’s disgusting and needed to point it out, because sometimes it’s great

I decided to stop by for something to eat since I was in the area. The menu includes Thai names besides all foods.I ordered Prawn Coconut soup and Roast Duck Tamarind. The soup, with very strong flavors, spicy red chilli, coriander,mushrooms and lime leaves, I never tried before, it tasted particularly different then I expected. The Duck Tamarind were okay, but nothing special. The portion and the price was ordinary. Friendly service.

I have visited this restaurant three times now, and this time I tried the shrimp salad. I had the chicken salad on my previous visits and it was also very tasty. The salads are made with fresh vegetables and either shrimp or chicken. At €5, the portion size is generous. The seating is basic but clean. I just wish they were open every day for lunch.

I had the sweet chili chicken, disgusting! Chicken was slimy and tasteless. Noodles were bland and definitely not fresh. Has gone down hill since opening. Will not be back.
