Must Try! Absolutely Great Thai food in a brief expression. Really enjoy the lunch here at Hong Thai, located at Manchester Arndale Shopping Center, to the opposite of Food Market. I've been hearing about Hong Thai for almost a year i reckoned, hence, super excited that finally got a chance to go here, get a fabulous taste of Quality Thai Food. We got Pad Thai, and Tom Yum Stir fried rice, they taste marvelous 😋 👌 Definitely will come more often, much appreciated the authenticity from the Thai dishes and friendly atmosphere at Hong Thai !

Wow the queue’s at this place will tell you all you need to know, all their meals are absolutely delicious and very authentic. Tried at least everyday dish once and loved all of them. All the meats Halal and the portions are generous, value for money. I Will definitely recommend to grab your lunch here and try it out if you get a chance.

Love this place, so tasty and great value. We ordered the fish penang curry and pad Thai, classic flavours, just the right level of spice with a good portion of meat and salad. £6.99 per dish with a drink. Highly recommended

Nice food. Not really authentic but good enough. Customer service is really good and wait is average. Prices are decent. Worth a try.

As soon as I found out that I had a work meeting in city centre, I thought of Hong Thai for lunch. We used to go there regularly until COVID. I was actually quite excited to get my lunch from there. Menu has expanded to Hong Kong style street food since boss' husband is from HK. I ordered what we used to order which was Panang Curry Fish. Price has gone up but it's still a reasonable price at £8 in city centre. Big portion, came with egg rice and salad, and a drink. Lady boss was so friendly when she took the order and even asked if I needed a bag as it was a takeaway. I had to rush to catch a bus back to my workplace 30 minutes away. Meal was still hot. Food tasted how it used to be which was approved by my Malaysian husband. Delicious. Would definitely like to eat from there again if we're in city centre during lunchtime.

Hong Thai - This streetfood stall is AMAZING. If you’re yet to try the food you’re missing out. The food is delicious and they have a wide variety of different meals you can pick from. Highly recommended! @silviaeatsout on IG for the full review.

Great food, very tasty. One of the best stores in the Arndale market But a bit more expensive than other options, lunch would cost just over £7. The Arndale market is a great place to visit to find a range of affordable international food.

The food is so authentic with great variety. The portion is very generous! most importantly the lady serve us is very friendly and cheerful. Would definitely come back again!

Excellent food as always! I like pad thai and massaman curry most!

Really tasty hot fresh Thai and Chinese food that's halal. This was a surprise that they give you a pager to alert you when your food is ready, they're that busy. Well worth the wait, which is actually not that long during the lunch rush. A lot of dishes seem to come with a small salad which has a delicious dressing. Just be aware seating is limited since it's Arndale Market seating so not loads available. Think this is one of my goto places now.

May be good enough to pass as authentic for locals, but for me the Pad Thai did not deliver. What concerns me the most isn’t the quality of the food, however. I waited 30 minutes for my food, a simple Pad Thai. 3 customers after me had already gotten theirs. When asked, staff tells me Pad Thai always takes longer! Whether they had forgotten my order and made a ridiculous excuse or not, it shouldn’t take a Michelin star restaurant to know that order-specific items take longer to cook! What if I was on my lunch break? Am I supposed to just unknowingly wait, while I watch people after me get their food before I do? Come on Manchester, decent service and promising food will bring you repeating customers, not the number of days you get by to earn your paycheck.

Tasty Food! Plenty of options to choose from and service is fairly fast considering how busy it gets during peak hours such as week day lunch time. They cater for Vegan options too. Some items are shown on the shop front. They are happy to help when you ask them too. My go to (pretty much weekly) is the salt and pepper tofu (vegan). Great tasting meal, big portion with plenty of flavours.

Seen an article on Manchester Evening News with all different places to try in the Arndale market, I have tried many places in there but it was the first time I went to Hong Thai.. I ordered the special Chang Mai Curry, WOW absolutely packed with flavour and so fresh it was delicious and I would highly recommend! Thank you so much ❤️

Very nice Thai dishes! The Tom Yam fried rice is full of favor with “wok hei”. Will try other dishes next time.

Best Thai food in Manchester and so affordable!! If you're looking for authentic flavouring and generous portions alongside kind staff this is the place for you. I've never once had a bad experience with them and there seems to be always a queue for them. I'm not a big fan of eating in a kantern style area in a shopping mall but it is reminiscent of SE Asia marketplaces!

absolutely fantastic food and great value, went back the day after my first visit on a short trip to Manchester, looking forward to going back would highly recommend for delicious Thai food the fact it was very busy on both visits speaks for itself .

Everytime I visit Hong Thai it continues to impress me. I've tried a few things off the menu now and I've enjoyed every single one of them - personal favourites have been the salt and pepper chicken and lamb massaman curry with jasmine rice. It's become a regular lunch spot when I'm in the office. The prices here are so reasonable, the portions are big and the service is very quick even though it gets really busy (always a good sign). I can't wait to try more of what they offer on the menu. It is definitely a spot to visit if you're near arndale and also need a quick lunch, only wished they stayed open for longer hours so I could grab it after work aswell!
