This was an odd one as no Thai people appeared to be up front in the restaurant. Maybe they were cooking??!! The food was ok but not brilliant. A smile from the food servers wouldn't go amiss.

Ordered at 1835, not delivered until 2125. Rang several times and unable to get through, when I eventually got through was told it had been collected by the delivery company at 2115, 2.5 hours after we ordered. When we ordered we were told it would be delivered by 1945.When it finally arrived we were missing prawn crackers and pork toast, which cost £14. Tried calling back, wouldn’t pick up the phone, so we were left with 2 mains and 2 rice for over £50, 3 hours after we had ordered…Food itself was fine, we’d never tried Jintana so thought we’d give it a go, but in future will stick to making our own from the kits available at supermarkets, was about the same quality, and certainly not worth the cost.Won’t be ordering again, for Thai food in Kendal I’d much further recommend Bangkok 7.

Let's start with atmosphere and ambiance. The place is small but cozy. Chairs were a little uncomfortable but manageable. The swan napkins were a hit with Childers. The bathroom was neat and tidy. Bit take a way menu sticks on walls of toilet is the last things you can imagine there.Let's come to food and drinks. Starter hot and sour soup was good ?Chicken satay was good too. But the chicken wings were disappointing. They was no different taste. Actually, they were taking like fish oil or crab, and they must be fried in the same oil. Fish cake also has a similar story, chewy, tasteless. In the main course, Mussammen curry was best with all thai flavors, but the green curry was simply blunt, less flavor. Phad Thai was ok to eat when they were warm, but immediately in 2 mins of time span they become unbeatable. I still don't understand how come someone fails at Phad Thai. Overall, drinks were good.Service was above average, and it must be a busy day for them. But I mentioned to them that out of 3 orders of Phad Thai, one came with less quantity. They refused. We just mentioned that it was not evan a complaint.

Came on New Years Eve and even though it was busy the service was lovely and atmosphere was welcoming. The waiters were working incredibly hard to ensure everyone was catered for. The food was delicious and would come back again, highly recommend.

We went out for dinner with family on New year's eve,arrived 6:30 to find the restaurant full and the waiting staff already struggling to keep up. Ordered drinks which arrived quickly,but waited over an hour for our starters which were wrong but by this time we were too hungry to care, another long wait for our mains to arrive which were cold, asked for some cocktails,to be told there wasn't any tonight "as we haven't got any ice" The staff were great but just couldn't cope with the tables and orders, a real missed opportunity for this restaurant to shine when the other Thai restaurant in Kendal was closed.

I arrived with not much expectation. Left the place with my full tummy and a very full heart! The staff were so attentive and friendly we felt so welcomed. The food transported us back to Bangkok and their แกงป่า (Jungle curry) was so good and full of กระชาย. I was so impressed with their drunken noodles too ? Highly recommended for everyone to try. We are Thai and we loved it!!!

Chaotic service by some very inexperienced staff who have obviously had little training in customer service, one waiter in particular was verging on aggressive. We like Thai food and have visited many Thai restaurants, the food at Jintana was substandard and not very authentic in flavour. Both courses were not very warm. I think all of the above are the bare minimum we can expect when paying nearly £90 for two courses. It is a shame that the other Thai restaurant in town was closed until February. I visited this the last time I visited Kendal and it is on a different level, food and service-wise. All for a similar price.

Ate here with a group of friends before attending a concert at the Brewery Arts centre we all enjoyed it. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with great staff. We ordered a selection of starters to share which were lovely the mains were nice and overall it was good value for money.

We were out for a birthday dinner, Saturday evening. Booked online - a seamless process - and arrived a bit early. No problem; we were seated immediately. Prompt but not rushed service; warm and friendly staff; excellent food (all 3 courses). It was an excellent evening. The only downside - and this is a small thing and not an issue in the end, was that on booking the conditions said that our table would need to be vacated 90 minutes after the booking time. When we were there it wasn't too busy so probably wouldn't have mattered if we hadn't finished within that time, but I did feel a little as though we had to watch the time.

Really tasty food and excellent service. Lots of great flavours and a nice vegetarian platter as a starter was a good shout too
