Had an amazing mid week dinner. First time eating here. Great authentic experience, superb food and our waitress Malida was friendly, polite and super friendly. Will definitely be back.

Enjoyed our dinner and felt is was reasonably authentic Thai. The Thai fish cakes were lovely, not enough sauce with the satay and our mains were good. Wine and food all reasonably priced.

Lovely friendly service and really tasty authentic Thai food with lots of variety! Add in Singha on tap and for two hours you are transported back to the motherland! Loved it ! ?

Amazing Thai food in the heart of Torquay. It’s not easy to find a restaurant like this in town. Prices are reasonable and the quality of the ingredients is just outstanding. It deserves a visit!

The best Pad Thai I've ever eaten, and I've tried it in many places. Very good service, delicious food. A perfect place to spend time with family or friends.

This is one of the best restaurants in Torquay - if you enjoy Thai food there is simply nowhere better! We have visited Jun Jaow over ten times since they moved into their new premises, just up the road from where they used to be. We have never been disappointed with the food, service or ambiance. Everyone who works there have smiles on their faces and nothing is ever too much to ask for. Seeing (and smelling!) the food as its prepared in the integral kitchen in the middle of the restaurant somehow adds to the vibrant atmosphere too! None of the chefs or waiting staff ever look stressed yet the food comes out beautifully cooked and presented time after time. The restaurant is always full, so they clearly have found a way to achieve 'poetry in motion'! The restaurant itself is really well decorated and dressed, its absolutely lovely. You don't feel like they've tried to squeeze extra tables in either, so it feels special. Well done Jun Jaow - we'll be back again very soon!

Not our first visit, nor will it be our last. Warm welcome, lovely atmosphere and delicious food. What more could you want other than great value and there’s that too. Thanks to Lilly who looked after us so we’ll.

Outstanding. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Best Thai food I’ve had in a long time. Service was fantastic, from start with friendly greeting on entry to the end where staff and chefs thanked us for visiting. Would highly recommend and very much looking forward to next visit… Thank you.

Went here for a business evening with another collegue. Had a pork ball starter that was overcooked, but ate it anyway, was just ordinary. Then the main meal was served, I had only just started mine when I found a long hair in it, I immediately stopped eating ANY food and eventually managed to get someones attention, and told them and showed then the hair in my food, he then went away, leaving the food there on the table for about another 15 minutes, he eventually came and took it away, no other food was offered, no dessert menu was offered either, nor coffee. Someone then came and said they had the bill and they had taken 10% of for the hair in my food, I informed them that that was not acceptable, and I certainly was not going to pay for something I had not eaten. After a lengthy wait they eventually came back with a revised bill where they had taken of the hairy food. Miserable staff, shocking food, bad service, would I go back... NEVER!

I would not ordinarily describe myself as a lover of Thai food but, having succumbed to my Thai food-loving husband’s persuasion, I was bowled over by my introduction to Jun Jaow and I have enjoyed several meals since. This family run restaurant has a buzzing ambience with views into the kitchen where the flaming woks provide a great sense of ‘theatre’. Chef/co-Owner Fon’s busy team deliver an extensive Thai menu using fresh, authentic ingredients and the experience is complimented by Servers dressed in beautiful Thai clothing. The drinks selection includes beers and wines from the region - as well as Jun Jaow’s own ‘Full Moon Gin’ infused with mango and coconut. The menu includes no less than 18 starters (!) as well as a wide variety of traditional stir fry and noodle dishes. Their Pad Thai is one of the best we’ve eaten (including in Thailand according to my well-travelled husband). His seafood was cooked to perfection. Various curries can all be cooked to your preference of mild, medium or hot and 4 of these curries can be vegan on request. If, like me, you’re not a lover of the widely used peppers in Thai cuisine, go for the Vegetable (or Tofu) Massaman Curry both of which were superior to any Massaman I’ve eaten elsewhere. Coconut Rice was the perfect accompaniment although there were half a dozen other rice or noodle side options from which to choose. Jun Jaow’s Special Dishes include a Sea Bass, flour-dusted and deep fried, topped with their own creamy curry sauce. It is exceptional.

Amazing Thai food. Staff were so friendly and food came quickly and was really tasty. Would recommend the starter sharer platter and the penang curry. Will definitely be back next time we are in torquay.
