This was my first Thai experience and as a veggie ordered the sweet & sour tofu with special fried rice (meat and fish kindly removed). It was amazing!! Delicious and hot!! We were a party of thirteen consisting of meat/fish and veggie eaters. Everyone was catered for. There was not a grumble about anyone's meal :) General consensus was 10/10 for taste, quantity, presentation and price .Conversations were had re: returning with family & friends - me included! We had pre-ordered our food, however there was a last minute cancellation plus an unexpected additional guest arrived! The staff dealt with this swiftly and smoothly. All the staff were most accommodating, very attentive and just lovely people. Many thanks to Su, David and the lovely young lady who made us all so very welcome.

My favourite Thai in Chelmsford always welcoming. They will adapt the dishes for your taste (spicier or less dependant on taste).

Arrived early in the evening- almost missed the entrance (restaurant is upstairs). Atmosphere was excellent, staff very attentive and the food was freshly made and delicious. One of the best Thai restaurant we have eaten at and due to our work we eat out all over the UK. Thank you David. We highly recommend this restaurant.

I went there with my wife for her birthday dinner. Notwithstanding she is Punjabi, Thai is her favourite food and thus she is very particular about the quality. Both of us found the welcome very warm and friendly from the family running it.My wife was in an indecisive mood when it came to both food and drinks, and the lovely owner and her daughter were very helpful in selecting the right mixture of dishes and wine.The flavour and quality of the food was absolutely exquisite. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. We plan to go there any time we are in Chelmsford.

WOW. I do not usually take the time out of my busy day to write any reviews. On a trip away from home for a while, one night I decided to go into town for something to eat. Upon entry I was greeted by lovely staff members who kindly sat me at my table. I had ordered beef noodle soup which I was looking forward to as I have never had it before. All I can say is that I was blown away by the tender beef and the burst of flavours, made me feel right at home in some way. I will purposely come back to this restaurant, even if it is not a part of my busy schedule. The family that run this authentic Thai Restaurant are amazing and are a real treasure to the area. I would suggest that anyone that can, please try, as you will NOT regret it.

Took my daughter for lunch at Lanthong.My daughter and I had the lunch menu. We chose Spare ribs and Prawn Pad Thai.The Spare Ribs were amazing unfortunately the Pad Thai was not, the Pad Thai tasted of nothing but sweet and sour sauce. Very disappointed.
Something 4 Everyone
Bloody awful! Red and green curry - both yellow grainy slop. Thais would be ashamed to come to UK and eat here!
Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. Hands down the best satay chicken and prawns on toast we’ve ever had, obviously fresh and homemade 10/10 would recommend

Dined here on our last night of the trip. Owner very friendly and helpful. Chef has been there for years and uses only authentic ingredients, and you could tell. Huge choice of food, manager very helpful if we had any questions. They were happy to amend the spice level if required. Extensive wine list at reasonable prices. Altogether excellent and we would go back. Thank you

Had a wonderful experience at Lanthong last night. We booked in advance as we were uncertain how busy it would be. We were greeted personally which was really lovely and seated, the restaurant was empty save for a group of 4 however the atmosphere was really lovely, because it was calm, intimate and relaxing. And meant the service was pretty quick! We were told that usually during the week there's no need to book but it's usually a good idea to book for a Friday or Saturday evening.We ordered a couple of starters: Thai Dim Sum and Thai Fish Cakes. Both really delicious.Then we ordered a Chicken Thai Green Curry to share, I had the Honey Roast Duck Breast and my fiance had a Hot Beef Red Curry. We had a Jasmine Rice each. There was plenty of food and it was absolutely heavenly. All the food was presented beautifully.We asked to take home what was left of the curries and ordered desserts. I had banana fritter with ice cream which was incredible and my fiance had a pistachio and saffron ice cream.We will definitely be back, I can't believe we haven't been sooner! Looking forward to our next visit.

Wow, the food here is genuinely SO good. Came with my partner because of the online reviews and trust me, they were not wrong. The food is so flavoursome and beautifully presented. I take my virtual hat off to them 10/10.
