Review Kung Thai Restaurant - Umhlanga Rocks

Best Tom Yum Soup (mixed seafood) out of Thailand ever! Hot and spicy! Wonderfull service and amazing food! PS Enjoy the ginger tea!!!

Finally got to sit down at the new venue after enjoying take outs with Kung Thai. As always the food is great. Authentic Thai flavors and the service was as good as always. The venue could do with some extra decor to “warm” the space but otherwise was a great evening. The banana dessert is a must - best shared as it is rather large.

AMAZING FOOD We had the crispy wontons which were delicious, the filling tasted super fresh (not fishy) and the sauce served with it was so delicious. We also ordered the I also had the paa chu which were donut shaped tapas with a prawn and crab filling as well coated with panko and deep fried. They were also very crispy, cooked to perfection and seasoned well. For mains I had the vegetarian wok fried dish with the bamboo shoots, basil and mild chilli. The bamboo shoots were absolutely fantastic, I enjoyed the textures and the veg were cooked perfectly, none were overcooked. The broth was lovely and thick and the best I've had from any Thai place so far (I mixed in some of the sauce that came with the wontons and that took it to the next level for me by adding a bit of sweetness). I had it with the egg noodles. The veg noodles had also had tofu which I hadn't had before so it was exciting to be able to try it. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are well worth it. Will definitely be back to dine here.

Amazing authentic experience! Food is as good as you would get in Thailand. The Managers are so helpful and accommodating and I think we got food that is not even exactly as in the menu. It was amazing and the “little” dessert 😲 can’t be described... u have to go try for yourself & take someone to share.

Never disappoints! Year after year we come here the food is exceptional. We did miss the ambience of the old location. The new location feels a bit stark. But the food was excellent. Angry curry with crispy fried duck is definitely the best.

The crab and prawn donut was exceptional. Taste of my prawn wok was really amazing. A must if you in Durban North and you love Thai flavours.

Absolutely exquisite food!! Cannot go wrong!!

Friendly, excellent service and the food is absolutely delish!!! Definitely recommend this restaurant. We keep going back.

Fresh and flavourful food with a nice mix of textures. Flavours are well developed. If it says garlic expect to notice it. If it says chilli, be prepared. Most of the meals have the option for you to choose the protein, the starch and the sauce so get creative. My personal favourite was the Kung Thai sauce. Let's face it, its named after the place, it's got to be good. Mildly chilli but I have also enjoyed the "Bun Mee" sauce before which is extremely chilli. Staff are friendly and attentive. The lady who served us was very good to us, a friend arrived late, midway through our meals, the waitress took her order promptly and also rushed it in the kitchen without us asking, within 10 minutes we all ate our meals together. There's a fair amount of vegetarian dishes on the menu. I sampled some of my friends food and found both of the days orders to be quite enjoyable. Food prices are a bit steep, expect to pay around R250 per adult inclusive of a few drinks. Both times I ate here I didn't mind paying this because I was so satisfied with the food. Portion sizes are also good. Wish I had taken photos of my food before we started eating. Below is a photo of the dessert we shared.

Incredible and delicious food. Great service from George. Definitely worth a visit. On Monday and Tuesday , value for money meals .

Amazing experience, would love to come again. The whole fish was delicious and the service and hospitality was wonderful.

It has been eons since I’ve considered to post a review on any venue, Lo and behold, KUNG THAI is so deserving of the absolute praise I wish to convey. I’ve tasted authentic cuisine from my visits to Thailand and actually thrilled to find the true flavour available at KUNG THAI. The staff are ever so friendly and attentive to the customers needs, be it from the serviettes to the final takeaway provided. I must commend the Chef who is easily visible at kitchen dedicated and working her magic to insure that only quality and delicious dishes are served. Also the gentleman owner took the time to greet each guest and enquire about the meal chosen. This restaurant is truly a gem that shines so magnificently and I wish that they continue with the amazing dishes and wonderful service provided. Khop Khun Khrap, KUNG THAI. Ahaan aroi maak maak.

Food was well prepared. Service is excellent from the management and owners who are constantly checking to ensure you are comfortable. Seating is limited, so peak times can be a challenge to be accommodated. Booking is best. Parking a huge challenge.

Friendly service. Delicious, flavour filled food and a nice atmosphere for groups and families.

Excellent food and good value for money. Taste is extra ordinary

The most delicious vegan Thai food I have tasted, outside of Thailand, of course🙂 The tofu stir fry was magnificent. Vibey & laidback. Chilled atmosphere & the owner is so friendly too. Staff were attentive & responsive. All in all, a beautiful experience.

Friendly staff, The food is so fresh and very tasty. Definitely worth a vissit

Kung Thai has consistently been the best Thai food we’ve ever had: A delicious fusion of flavours in every dish; fantastic, friendly service; and a warm, inviting space.

A very good restaurant, great food and ppl. A little bit rushed tho on a special occasion but the food and service makes up for it.
