The soup was appropriately spicy and delicious. I also had my husband’s chicken wings which had flavor. Yet the presentation was so bad. He didn’t enjoy them. I did. ☺️
The ambiance needs some work, the decor looks really old fashioned and stuck in the ‘90
I prefer the old Kai Thai before the revamp. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff. Favorite dish is the angry duck with extra chilli. Much prefer the one in Monte Casino

This is such a lovely place. The ambience is quite relaxed with Thai music in the background - beautiful space, too. (They have frequent specials for full body massages as well, just by the way)
The service was nothing to write home about, they could be a lot friendlier.
We ordered the chilli cashew chicken stir fry with noodles and with rice. Great meal, I thoroughly enjoyed. My friend wanted juice (any fruit juice), and they had none in stock which was quite disappointing.
Overall it was pretty good experience, I would definitely return.
This is my go to place when my mouth needs to be transported back to Thailand. I wouldn't say it is the very best Thai food in town but I love it and this is why. The staff at Kai Thai are always super friendly regardless of whether I am grabbing a takeaway or dining there. They have weekday specials. Their food comes out quickly. And quite frankly their food is tasty and unpretentious. I love their massaman curry (I get the beef) I am usually not one to order chicken cashew because I find it boring but I ordered this out of pure decisiveness after a long day and I must admit, it was great. I really enjoy the starter platter as well. I will continue to used this as my quick comfort food place after a long day.
Always have a great experience at this branch, love the fact that I can go for a massage next door.
This is a convenient centre and located across the olivesdale clinic.
The spring rolls are great, along with the noodle dishes.
Great simple Thai food. Stick to the curries and stir fry dishes. Crispy pork is a favourite of mine.
Also make sure to try the savoury mince with lettuce leaves as a starter - very yummy.
Quite cosy inside, but I could do without the pan-pipe music...
Often the little simple restaurants make for a lovely night out. Delicious angry duck and Kanonkop Cape Blend. Good price, 2min from home, no frills just jummy food. Life is good.
G and I LOVE their mild red curry. I think we have returned for take aways so often that the staff can repeat my order before I walk in.
Aside from the red curry, we love trying all of the noodle dishes and while the presentation is not terribly pretty, they all taste incredible! Another fav is the hot and sour soup. The decor and ambience is pretty and effective, even if the tables are a little cramped/small.
A great taste of Thailand and great service.
This spot is just so amazing. The food, especially the curries (try panang, musuman, green, yellow...any one). We usually have the savoury mince starter and then share a curry with jasmine rice or noodles. The staff greets us by name, and it is very relaxed.

Veg spring rolls with peanut satay sauce .... absolutely delicious! Crispy pastry, yum veg inside and the peanut satay sauce ...
This time I decided I really want that duck ... and I want him angry! So we both ordered the Angry Duck ... Hein with rice, I with noodles. (I think rice is the better choice.) Both of us ordered it hot, but it was not 'blowing steam out of your ears' hot at all. But soooo good. Portions still big, so we took it home for dinner.
Deep-fried ice cream ... They 'wrap' sponge cake around a ball of ice cream and deep-fry it. It is really not too sweet at all!!!! But sooooo yummmy!

We have not visited a Kai Thai branch in years! This branch in Olivedale has a lovely decor and the choice of sitting on the patio or inside.
I ordered Chicken Green Curry with rice. It was really flavorsome and good.
But Hein ordered the Angry Duck ... deboned pieces of duck cooked in a red curry sauce with ginger and various vegetables, served with rice. Oh my goodness!!! This was really amazing!!!! And the portion was so big for R120, we could have easily shared it. The taste was just really deep, flavorsome and the veggies still a little bit crispy and yum.
Of course my eye fell on the recommended dessert option ... deep fried ice cream served with Bar One sauce. Although the outside of the ice cream wasn't crispy as I thought it would be ... it was really good! It was served with fresh strawberry slices and wasn't too sweet. The batter around the ice cream was nice and it was quite a big scoop.
Kai Thai is really worth the food and experience. The waitresses are friendly and efficient.
Excellent food and service. We drive all the way there from cresta because the ones by us closed down but it's still worth it. Love their spring rolls dipped in peanut sauce and the green curry xx
My fiancee and I call this our "happy place". We go there twice a month and have never had bad service. The food is simply delicious and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. See you soon!
Delicious Thai food! Fast service. Huge selection of classic dishes. Very affordable. Definitely worth a try!

The massage was excellent but the reflexology they wrote on pamphlet????. They need a properly trained reflexologist
Kai Thai makes great food. I have only had take aways from here but haven't been dissapointed.
