Decor is so beautiful! Literally felt like I was in Thailand. Food was great - tom yum soup full of flavour, for main I've had yellow curry and my partner ordered panang lamb shank, we both had jasmine rice. Large portions, lots of meat, full of flavour, really enjoyed it! It's a bit expensive but definitely worth it once in a while for a treat.

What a gem of a place. Loved it so much that I made another reservation to visit already. The chicken satay was the star of the show for me but their desert trolly is amazing as well. It was such a pleasure. Every dish was flavourful and each one unique. Definitely worth a visit.

I think yesterday I discovered one of Banbury's most Indulgent dining experiences. I love an all you can eat and this one challenged me! Interior The interior awe inspiring, such a beautiful place and it just goes on and on. The decor is like stepping into another country and is beautiful. Service As it is a buffet its hard to say exactly what the service would be like for main menu however the drinks were served quickly and empty plates cleaned away very promptly. The buffet gets absolutely smashed by the hundreds of hungry folk so occasionally it did look a bit empty but they worked hard to keep as many dishes full as possible. Food/drink The selection of food is unreal! I couldn't ask for more choice. Everything I had wS amazing but some highlights were the pulled pork pancakes, the green curry, whole salmon, calamari, spring rolls, the crunchie dessert and dare I say it, the chips were actually banging (I don't know why I even tried them but I am so glad I did) Price 19 per person for all you can eat is amazing value when you eat as much as I do, and the choice means there are still things left to try next time! Overall I cannot give this anything less than 5 stars, it was a faultless lunch buffet for me. And I simply cannot wait to get back at it next month!

Had the pleasure of dining at “Thai Orchard” in Banbury for their Sunday lunch buffet and it surpassed all expectations! For just 23, it stands out as the most value-packed and scrumptious Thai buffet I’ve ever had in the UK. The spread showcased a delightful variety: the skewered roasted pork was juicy and perfectly seasoned, the curry rice carried a depth of flavors that was satisfying, and the coconut noodle soup was creamy with just the right hint of sweetness. Don’t even get me started on the roasted duck noodle soup; its rich broth and tender duck pieces were the stars of my meal. If you’re in Banbury, don’t miss the chance to indulge in “Thai Orchard’s” exquisite buffet spread!

Always good quality food provided, no matter busy night dinner or Sunday buffet. Price is slightly higher than Bicester Thai restaurant, but the taste and quality is always there. Staff are all lovely and friendly. Sunday buffet is always good, they refilled the food quickly and variety of choices of foods.
