Thai Thai Today Brings Fresh Thai Cooking to Oxford

What the reviews say

Thai Thai Today has made a notably strong impression on Oxford diners, holding a 4.9 Google rating from 52 reviews. That is still a relatively small pool of feedback, but the comments provided are consistent where it matters most: food is described as fresh, flavorful and carefully prepared, while service earns repeated praise for being kind, friendly and attentive.

Several diners also frame the cooking as authentic Thai food, with one repeat customer reporting that multiple visits and different orders had all delivered. Another review highlights a fresh, homemade quality and ingredients that tasted carefully chosen. Taken together, the public feedback presents Thai Thai Today as a promising option for diners who prioritize flavor and hospitality over a large or elaborate setting.

Start with the drunken noodles

Drunken noodles are the clearest standout in the available reviews. One diner ordered them with chicken and praised the chewy noodles, fresh vegetables and well-judged spice. Another arrived expecting Massaman curry to be the favorite, only to find that the drunken noodles stole the meal. That same review noted a generous amount of chicken, suggesting the kitchen does not treat protein as an afterthought.

Spice customization appears to be another strength. A repeat guest found level two to offer just the right amount of heat. Since individual tolerance varies, diners should communicate their preference rather than assume a particular number will feel mild or hot.

The menu also seems flexible. One review notes that diners can select a preferred protein for almost every dish, which should make group ordering easier. Chicken spring rolls received enthusiastic praise in one account, while Massaman curry was also ordered favorably. Thai milk tea was reportedly available by request even though it was not listed on the menu, but availability should not be assumed on every visit.

Service and atmosphere

The dining room is repeatedly described as clean, quiet, welcoming and well suited to a relaxed meal. Staff receive some of the most dependable compliments in the feedback. Diners mention attentive service, friendly interactions and consistent care across return visits.

The tradeoff is space. One reviewer describes the restaurant as not very large and suggests it could feel constrained when busy. Another noticed signs of a newer operation and a few rough spots that still needed smoothing out, though those issues did not outweigh the positive food and service experience. Anyone visiting at a popular meal time may want to allow for the limitations of a compact room.

The verdict

Based on public ratings and diner reviews, Thai Thai Today looks like one of Oxford’s more compelling choices for a mid range Thai meal. The strongest case rests on its drunken noodles, customizable proteins, fresh ingredients and attentive staff. The limited volume of reviews calls for some caution, but the consistency within those 52 Google reviews is encouraging. For a lunch date, quiet meal or spicy noodle craving, it belongs near the top of the local shortlist.
