A little local advice

If you’re wandering around Dublin’s city centre and craving Thai, I’d steer you toward Kinnamon. Their Tom Yum soup is something I keep coming back to during cooler evenings. Also, if you’re out late and want a casual spot that feels less formal but still nails the flavour, Thai Tho on Capel Street usually has a decent flow of locals grabbing quick bites.

One thing I’ve noticed is that many places around here use home-ground spices that really hit differently than the usual supermarket stuff. So don't hesitate to ask your waiter for any house special or chef’s recommendation , Dublin’s Thai scene has a few surprises tucked away. And if you find yourself anywhere near Ranelagh, there’s a small, unassuming spot that often flies under the radar but serves a killer green curry with sticky rice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Thai food in Dublin? Here’s a quick Q&A to help out.

For genuinely authentic Thai flavours, try Kinnamon on Merrion Row or Siamais near Baggot Street. Locals often praise their traditional dishes and fresh ingredients. I’d recommend booking ahead, especially on weekends.
Absolutely. Thai Tho down on Capel Street is great if you want something quick, affordable, and packed with flavour. Just keep in mind it can get busy, so heading there right at opening or slightly before peak times helps.
Most spots offer veggie-friendly dishes and can tweak meals for vegans if you ask. Many have tofu-based options and always fresh veggies. Just double-check with your server since some curries or pastes may use fish sauce.
It varies, but many places don’t hold back on the heat if you want it. You can usually ask for mild, medium, or extra spicy, so don’t be shy about telling them your spice preference. The chilli packs a proper punch, especially in soups and salads.
Weekday evenings or early dinners, around 5 to 6pm, are less hectic. Weekends get busy , especially places like Siamais and Kinnamon , so booking a table or arriving early works best if you want to avoid waits.
