I scratched my head sitting their in the fantastic Gaab Kao restaurant. It is conveniently located on the high street. The interior neon light detailing is straight out of Bangkok. The staff are lovely, helpful and attentive. There is loads of comfy toasty seating. The menu is extensive and offers traditional Thai dishes and a range of specials to suit you herbivore, carnivore or pescatarian needs. The menu even includes a huge list of allergen details associated with the dishes. So what about quality and value for money? It ticks both boxes admirably. I can only think it lacks customers during the week is because of the competition. Anyway, all the better for diners that do decide to go. You can happily stretch out and enjoy beautifully prepared Thai food in a trendy, sociable environment.

One of the best Thai restaurants In England. As a Thai person myself is not easy finding one over here that feels like you just sit back home. Many traditional dishes to choose as well! Plus great service!

Been here a few times and I was never disappointed. The food always come out delicious and always fresh. The staff have always been very friendly and polite. Can’t fault anything, best Thai restaurant in Maidstone

Authentic Thai Food in Kent Food Quality : 4.7/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.2/5 Price: 4.4/5 Overall : 4.6 / 5 Would definitely come again. I’ve been to South East Asia , and Thailand multiple times travelling, experienced lots of food around there. I can say Thai Rice Club is the most authentic Thai Resturant I’ve had in the UK. A dim lit bar style Resturant , resembling sort of a Creams style ice cream dessert Resturant, this Thai restaurants presentation aesthetically wouldn’t be something you expect to see from a Thai Resturant. Service was decent, polite staff, with warm hospitality. The food menu had a great deal of selections to choose from, a mixture of Thai favourites, good selection of drinks, alcoholic drinks were rather pricy but what do you expect for city centre and also in Kent. Ordered a mixture of Thai starters, classics : chicken satay, chili squid, papaya salad and pancake roll - all cooked well, satay chicken cook be thicker and not faltened chicken. Papaya salad could have been spicier but was perfection, flavourful , sweet, sour and spicy , perfect. Main : Thai green curry, pad Thai and spicy stir fry noodles and morning glory, all cooked very well, authentic , flavourful, tasty , had all the flavours that you would expect. Definitely would go again.

Very personal service. Excellent food! Even gave a children's plate which is the first time I've seen a restaurant do that. Amazing. Highly recommend.

Awful, only popped in for a drink as they announced they had a new bar opening, not only was the new bar not open, I was then charged an extortionate service charge just for pouring me a pint. I refused to pay the service charge and was then questioned why I didn't want to pay it by a very angry lady behind the bar. Terrible service. Will not be returning, there's better Thai places in Maidstone. Rubbish.

We had a late lunch here on Bank Holiday Monday.. There were 3 of us. It was the best Thai meal we have eaten for a long time. The food was cooked fresh. The flavours were amazing.. I would definitely go again when visiting our Granddaughter

Excellent customer service and food here. Staff are friendly and attentive and the food is on point. I've spent alot time in Thailand and the food here took me back. Being from Australia good thai food is plentiful and since moving here I thought it was going to be a mission to find good thai food again having already tried a couple places already. GAAB KAO well done great food and service. 🙏Khup Khun Krap
