'In a tiny corner of Greater Manchester I found some of the best Thai food for miles for less than a tenner'
A new Thai restaurant in Greater Manchester offers high-quality Thai food at affordable prices, standing out in the local food scene.
Manchester welcomed its newest Thai restaurant this week as Thaikun launched in the city centre, bringing Bangkok street food culture to Spinningfields. The restaurant opened its doors on Wednesday, marking the latest expansion for the small chain that already operates in Oxford, Cambridge and Glasgow.
The venue on Hardman Street features reclaimed timber and vintage Thai signs, creating what managing director Mark Davies describes as “an authentic slice of Thailand.” The menu showcases classic dishes including pad thai, massaman curry and som tam salad, alongside more unusual offerings like deep-fried sea bass with mango and cashew nuts.
Dishes range from £7 to £15, with most mains priced around £10-12. The restaurant seats 120 across two floors and offers a separate bar area serving Thai-inspired cocktails. Service runs seven days a week from noon until 10:30pm.
This opening adds to Manchester’s growing collection of Thai eateries, joining established names like Try Thai on Faulkner Street and Chaophraya in the Northern Quarter. The arrival comes as the city’s food scene continues to attract independent operators, with King Street and Spinningfields becoming particular hotspots for new restaurant openings.
