Hong Thai

2024 update: the food is still great, unfortunately the price is now close to £8 more a meal which is quite a lot for lunch. Great food, very tasty. One of the best stores in the Arndale market But a bit more expensive than other options, lunch would cost just over £7. The Arndale market is a great place to visit to find a range of affordable international food.

this was my all time favourite lunch spot in town and i was absolutely gutted to learn that it had to close recently due to a fire incident!! when it hopefully reopens in a new location i highly highly recommend that you go and check it out!! the food was SO tasty (the salt and pepper chicken is life changing) and the staff were literally the nicest people ever (lily we love you <3)

Tasty Food! Plenty of options to choose from and service is fairly fast considering how busy it gets during peak hours such as week day lunch time. They cater for Vegan options too. Some items are shown on the shop front. They are happy to help when you ask them too. My go to (pretty much weekly) is the salt and pepper tofu (vegan). Great tasting meal, big portion with plenty of flavours.

Seen an article on Manchester Evening News with all different places to try in the Arndale market, I have tried many places in there but it was the first time I went to Hong Thai.. I ordered the special Chang Mai Curry, WOW absolutely packed with flavour and so fresh it was delicious and I would highly recommend! Thank you so much ❤️

Must Try! Absolutely Great Thai food in a brief expression. Really enjoy the lunch here at Hong Thai, located at Manchester Arndale Shopping Center, to the opposite of Food Market. I've been hearing about Hong Thai for almost a year i reckoned, hence, super excited that finally got a chance to go here, get a fabulous taste of Quality Thai Food. We got Pad Thai, and Tom Yum Stir fried rice, they taste marvelous 😋 👌 Definitely will come more often, much appreciated the authenticity from the Thai dishes and friendly atmosphere at Hong Thai !

Wow the queue’s at this place will tell you all you need to know, all their meals are absolutely delicious and very authentic. Tried at least everyday dish once and loved all of them. All the meats Halal and the portions are generous, value for money. I Will definitely recommend to grab your lunch here and try it out if you get a chance.

As soon as I found out that I had a work meeting in city centre, I thought of Hong Thai for lunch. We used to go there regularly until COVID. I was actually quite excited to get my lunch from there. Menu has expanded to Hong Kong style street food since boss' husband is from HK. I ordered what we used to order which was Panang Curry Fish. Price has gone up but it's still a reasonable price at £8 in city centre. Big portion, came with egg rice and salad, and a drink. Lady boss was so friendly when she took the order and even asked if I needed a bag as it was a takeaway. I had to rush to catch a bus back to my workplace 30 minutes away. Meal was still hot. Food tasted how it used to be which was approved by my Malaysian husband. Delicious. Would definitely like to eat from there again if we're in city centre during lunchtime.
