We were in Alicante for 6 nights and we ate at The Thai Corner 3 times! Once for lunch and twice for dinner as we liked it so much. Interesting decor, staff attentive and English speaking and food delicious. We had different dishes each time and really enjoyed them all. Loved it!

In such a tourist area it can be a real hit and miss when it comes to finding a good meal, but this was a real hit!! We were all so impressed by this restaurant, the service and location were great but the food was amazing, we were a table of 4 so ordered a lot of food and we loved absolutely every dish. I highly recommend this restaurant

Really enjoyed our food which was delicious and tasted so fresh with authentic Thai flavours. We had two fish mains and drunken noodles with rice. We were also asked how spicy we wanted our dishes. The service was excellent, we were not rushed but service was attentive and friendly. All the staff spoke really good English too. Decor is modern Thai which was very cool.

We had not realised this was the Thai Corner from nearby that had relocated due to covid. We were even more impressed when Christina who was from the original Thai Corner came to our table and said she remembered us from previous customers visits fromthere...amazing. Back to the food it was amazing and excellent value for money. We cannot wait to visit again when back in Alicante.

We love this Thai place in Alicante. We go every year. This year the stuff had changed but the service remained as friendly and diligent as always. The chicken satay was very good, the green curry could have more veggies, and duck was excellent and we loved the sticky rice with mango.

Mi madre y yo somos fan de la comida Thailandesa y siempre que pasábamos cerca del restaurante decíamos que teníamos que ir y no sé porque tardamos tanto en ir. Una experiencia de 10; Plato, presentación, local, personal y sabores de 10 y si se me olvida cosas, esas son de 10 también. Hay pocos restaurantes de comida Thai en Alicante, pero este restaurante es el número uno con diferencia. Deseamos volver pronto.

Todo fue muy bien. La comida excelente y el servicio muy amable y atento. Si no he puesto un 10 es porque pedí para beber una coca cola light y me trajeron una coca cola zero sin avisarme del cambio. No son lo mismo porque saben diferente y no me gusta que no me avisen del cambio. También me faltaba que fueran más específicos en su carta con las verduras que llevan los platos. Pedí platos donde no ponían el pimiento como ingrediente y lo llevaban. No puedo comerlo así que no pude disfrutar del todo de los platos. Eso sí, los postres espectaculares y sin duda volveré simplemente por volver a disfrutarlos. Pero también volveré por la experiencia en general. Sin duda recomendaré el sitio a mis amistades

Christmas Eve and we thought we would struggle to get a reservation in Alicante so we booked a Thai. Husband said spring rolls were the best he'd tasted! Overall quite tasty and good service

Food was really good, it was the same quality as we had in Thailand. We had to wait long for our first service. Later on it was much better.

La cena y el servicio muy buenos, pero el pitido que se oye cada vez que mandan comida desde la cocina es muy molesto si comes cerca de la barra, por lo menos para nosotros. El resto, un 10

We enjoyed our visit but sorry to say that we missed the ambiance of the old restaurant. The food was excellent but the restaurant lacked charm .

Le serveur ne connaissait pas la carte et n'a pas noté correctement la commande. Heureusement ses collègues étaient plus efficaces.

An enjoyable evening but the service was rather slow and not particularly attentive. The food was not as good as when Thai Corner was in smaller premises. That said, the atmosphere and decor are lovely. I get the feeling that things just need sharpening up with some staff training and supervision.

The lighting which was extremely dark, made it unable to read the menu, or see the food we were eating.

Problem is moved to bigger premises with more customers. Staff fantastic but with extra covid measures & more customers they need more staff to keep up the standard of previous visits at old premises. Not the same quality of food. Price did not reflect the meal.
