"I 'm not in the business of giving one star ratings just because of one failing so this review is 3 star because the food is good if a little lacking in spice by authentic Thai standards and the service is good, especially given how busy it always is here. Now the bad bit. This is the latest in numerous (10+ visits to this restaurant and on only one occasion has the advertised large beer been available. On every other occasion I have been told We 've just sold out or we 're waiting for a delivery . If there are genuine problems with the supplier then, after 5+ years pf business, it 's time to change supplier. If it 's a problem with the purchasing department it 's time to make a change in that department. If on the other hand it is because the restaurant chain makes more money selling two small beers for more than a pound more than one large beer then it is a blatant, head office organised, rip off. It is compounded by the restaurant being so busy. A couple of good chugs and the beer has gone then getting a fresh one is dependant on catching the eye of one of the busy waiting staff. I would be happy to place a large bet that the majority of the beer drinkers would much prefer a large beer to a small one especially given that the ridiculous parking restrictions in Clifton render it virtually impossible to drive here and park and would love to be able to swig at least two bigguns whilst eating. I raised this complaint before departing and the manager acknowledged that this was a frequent complaint. Sadly the staff suffered because I refused to pay the service charge since the policy of the company is such that the service I would like has not been delivered (through no fault of the staff concerned I shall doubtless return and fully anticipate that this rip off will not have been rectified. A call to trading standards (do they still exist? will be the next action. This chain is patently advertising an item that it rarely if ever has available."

Cold food that had to be returned. If it’s not broken why re-invent? Dishes we had were poor! Mixed platter starter very poor. Won’t be back.

We had such a great time here! The menu had highlighted dishes, very helpful for people who aren't familiar with the cuisine. The food was great, and the staff was attentive went the extra mile, as it was my friend's birthday.

We love this chain although our first time in Clifton. Very much the same high standard as all the rest. Adore the food. (We especially love the Tapas menu). Prices are very competitive and the service is always of a really high standard. If you want Thai food we’d definitely recommend Giggling Squid.

The service was decent, the food was decent but slightly lacking in flavor. The menu has a good variety of options, but the appetizers were on the smaller side and not ideal for sharing. Due to the small size of the restaurant, making a reservation for weekends is recommended. Prices were fair, but I'm not sure if I would be in a hurry to return.

A party of 14 dined here for a 60th Birthday party. Not only was the food 10/10 but so was the service. The team accommodated us so well and they went the extra mile to make the day special. All our food came at the same time which I thought was exceptional considering the size of our party. For parties our size you NEED to book well on advance however, they often can't take large bookings on a Friday or Saturday due to demand. Parking is free on Sundays though so it was a win, win. I will be back here for sure!

This restaurant offers truly authentic Thai cuisine. My friend, who is from Chiang Mai, and I enjoy coming here in Clifton. Even though we weren't very hungry, we decided to go for lunch. I ordered the Royal Set, which isn't listed on the website yet. However, I can attest that the Lamb Massaman is absolutely delicious. The combination of cinnamon and allspice is fantastic. The sauce served with the duck roll is sweet and juicy. The spicy prawns were flavorful and, as the name suggests, quite spicy - we couldn't stop eating them. My friend ordered the Som Tam salad and satay chicken. We both felt like we were in Thai Food Heaven.

Well we had our first Thai meal last night as our son had turned 36 , so we decided to see what Thai food was all about , after a friend suggested the Giggling Squid in Clifton village, we were most impressed with staff, food and character of venue , what a lovely introduction to Thai cuisine we had, food quality was of an exceptional high standard, tasted superb as we all tried bits off each others plates, real family feel to restaurant polite, happy servers, great choice of dishes, when were were ordering and asking questions about the food the servers were helpful with great knowledge of there foods on offer . I highly recommend you give them a try you will not be disappointed.
