    Best food in Forster! Ridiculously good value, big portions, fresh ingredients, quickly prepared excellent friendly service that makes you feel so welcomed, the vegetarian options are amazing, perfectly cooked tofu and an incredible variety of perfectly cooked vegetables. Tonight I had the Penang curry and fried rice both with tofu & veg and it was so delicious and left me so satisfied and with a whole meal to take home for tomorrow. Very happy customer, thanks Kenny and the team!

    Worst Thai ever! We have been attempting to get a table here for the past 3 years, but always booked out! We finally managed to dine here for lunch last week and looked forward to a good meal, which started out well with the appetizers. After that it was downhill all the way, from the Crispy Chicken with Coconut rice and the Pad Thai dish my husband ordered. The crispy chicken was NOT crispy, the rice was as dry as anything with no hint of coconut. the whole dish had been heated up and microwaved to death, hence the lack of crispiness, the dryness of the rice and the scalding heat of the vegetables. The Pad Thai dish was devoid of any sauce to combine the noodles with the veggies and prawns, far too dry. In all the worst Thai experience we have ever come across - the meals were terrible and Kenny should be ashamed! We also realised why it is so difficult to get a table too - if you only want a table for two they don't have many and wont offer you a table that is set for 4! Another con to make you think that this restaurant is so popular! Kenny you are a joke never again!

    Was there at lunch and had a $15 lunch special. To be honest, that was as special as it got. The ingredients were fresh but the food was very sweet and heavy on the sauce. If you like your Thai light and fresh probably not for you. The atmosphere was also a little sterile, lots of spread out tables in a large room, with not a hint of atmosphere - which is in contrast to rest of the Club Forster which has a little more refinement, mainly for the retiree crowd.. The wait staff could also probably try and crack a smile as it felt a little cold and transactional (eg they sat a customer outside on a table a metre away from tradespeople doing grouting) even with plenty of space inside.

    Absolutely shocked by the way the management communicates with customers. We came on Sunday evening to the venue and waited for about an hour, when simply no one showed up. We have contacted the management via phone and they are in a very rude manner informed us that the place is closed today just because they chose so. No notes at the place. No one came to us. No one let us know at the entrance. The way management communicates is just unacceptable. Not sure whether they treat this way all customers or tourists only.

    I've been to Kenny's Thai twice now, and it serves seriously some of the best thai food I've had. The dishes are all beautiful, the portion sizes are huge, and there are plenty of gluten free options. The staff are also super friendly and helpful. Hiding upstairs in the RSL is one of my favourite places to eat in forster! Such a good find.

    Had the snapper fillet in Sam Rod tonight for takeaway, and it definitely did not disappoint. It's a shame we weren't able to order prior to arriving, although food was out in 5 minutes after ordering. We are here on holidays, would definitely be back

    We ordered takeaway and it was delicious! They accommodated us with a vegetarian option.

    Variable food from excellent to standard. Typical club atmosphere. Like many places struggling for experienced staff.

    Dined at Kenny’s tonight. Excellent meal! Beautiful fresh stir fried vegetables with top quality prawns. Sauce was gorgeous. Service was great. Another great experience. Highly recommended to anyone wanting an authentic Thai experience. We travel quite a bit and have never found a Thai restaurant as good as this one.

    4 of us had dinner here last night. The food was amazing, full of flavour and plenty of it. Service was very good. Even got to have a joke with the server. 😀 The price was in my opinion cheap. Would highly recommend eating here. Thanks Kenny

    We had the absolute pleasure dining with Kenny's Thai Kitchen tonight whilst on holidays. Nothing was too much effort for any of the team. As a coeliac they catered for me, cooking entrees in a separate fresh wok! They must a special entree for my boyfriend. Service was excellent, food was amazing! Look forward to dining with you again soon :)

    Went to Kenny’s tonight’s as the first time we went it was awesome, this time not so much. When we turned up there were 4 different lots of people waiting to be seated, there was no staff in sight, we saw some staff standing in the doorway to what looked to be hiding from those waiting to be served, 1 of them ventured out and seated one lot of waiting people, when we asked if we could sit down without a reservation as there were heaps of tables with no people seated at them she said you’ll have to wait for the lady and she quickly disappeared out a door, we waited around for ‘that lady to appear’ who didn’t make an appearance so we left as did the other people and we all ended up down stairs at the cafe where we were quickly served and had a great meal.

    I've been here a couple of times on the past few years, but tonight was my best experience. The quality of the food was excellent. The tamarind snapper and the coconut chicken were first rate. The pricing was reasonable and the serves generous. The service was somewhat harried but hey the food made up for all. Great work Kenny's

  • 5/5 3am D. 4 years ago on Google
    i had the coconut chicken and i loved it. i would definitely eat here again. i see that you reply to the comments on here so could you please recommend me a list of what to eat first in order on the lunch specials? i'm an indecisive person.

    Formal setting doesn't suit, meals are a tad too pricey and took quite a while to reach our table. When it did finally arrive, it was just ok. Verdict: I won't eat here again (no hard feelings).
