This place has always served delicious food with consistency. We have never had a bad dish here. Tried the crab curry for the first time which was delicious. Although the crab meat was not very dense, but the flavor was there. Phad Thai was superb as usual. Highly recommend this place for one of the best Thai restaurants in Johannesburg in my opinion.
If I could I would give this place 10 stars. Exceptional food and great service. The prawn and pineapple curry is to Thai for. Love this place and I could recommend this to anyone.
I can still taste those delicate, delicious and perfectly prepared crumbed rib starters.The ambience is authentically Thai, from the decor, to the lighting, and overall feel, even the staff are at your service and on point.For a home converted into a restaurant it has a very warm, comfortable, cozy feel to it- theres even a fire place to tie up the entire experience, so visiting in winter is no issue at all.I tried the Tom Yum Soup 2ce, Thai Green Curry, Red Curry, coconut rice and a few other dishes, they were perfectly prepared, no issues on my side.The only difference between their food and the real thing in Thailand is the location difference :)The owners are also very warm, welcoming and super humble people and that kind of passion transfers onto their staff, food and commitment.Parking is plentiful, though it looks small and very unassuming, dont underestimate this little gem palace of Thai cuisine.
I first discovered Thai curry in 2012 and it was exquisite. Since I left that job a little while later in 2013, Ive been searching for a green chicken curry (Gaeng Keow Wan Chicken) that stacked up to that standard and today my search has ended. Nothing better for a Friday lunch than what 2 Thai 4 has delivered.
The best Thai food in Gauteng indeed. The service was excellent and both the chef, Oag and waiter, Action are commended. Their willingness to accommodate our dietary requirements is admirable. We enjoyed the following dishes: spring roll prawns; chicken satay; chicken spring rolls with vegetables [to much veggies though]; and chicken green curry. All the dishes apart from the chicken spring roll which could do with a bit more chicken was prepared to perfection. Thank You - we will certainly be visiting this establishment soon.
Excellent food but not a restaurant to take out a woman on a date
Fantastic food & very friendly service.
Sublime. Perfectly prepared veg with delicate flavours punctuated by texture, spice and lingering balance. Brian and his team worked magic, thank you for a wonderful evening, youll see us again.
We love coming here and sitting under the straw ceiling, enjoying delicious Thai food. In the bustle of Joburg this is an oasis of calm and relaxation - a piece of Thailand in the heart of Melrose.
The fish curry was amazing and the mild was just right.. First time.. Will definitely go back
Good food, good service, reasonably priced, ample parking, will definitely being going back.
The service and ambience were really the stars of the show. The food was good though a little artificial tasting, especially with the additive of frozen carrots. Not too cheap either, though you cannot expect cheap anywhere in the vicinity of Sandton. We would go back, if only for the good service, accessibility and quiet.
Good was great. Ordered a variety of food to share with a group and everything was delicious.
Very tasty Thai food 😋
Quality Thai food! Definitely worth having the red curry. Nice menu too.Ample parking and seating.
Excelent food and best Hostes ever. Thanks Linn for making iur dinner very special. I will recommend the crab to all.
Ahhh where to start exactly. I have been looking for exclusive Thai cuisine and this one just could not be better.The lovely dining place with with great hospitality and serene sitting lounge.Did not wait too long for the food, and oh boy o boy the taste of the food was divine just like your sitting in Phuket having your delicious crab curry.From hot soups to their tenderly made delicious crunchy spring rolls were perfectly made not oily at all. To the Johannesburg people if you have not tried their food, your simply missing it because its ..........Simply finger licking good.Well done, keep it up :D
Excellent service. Excellent food. Favorite is the green thai curry.
Overall an enjoyable experience, very good service and tasty food
Excellent food, and our waitress where the best with an sense of humor 😀
Our starters where very, very poor. We ordered the classics, to test the waters so to speak, we have been disappointed by too many Thai restaurants in SA too many times. We ordered Tom Yum soup and Green papaya salad, green papaya was not available so we went for fish cakes (a favourite). Both dishes where honestly terrible (my wife did pick our the prawns from the Tom Yum) we paid for everything even though we sent most of it back and only left a very modest tip, which I regret because the service was great, that is the only star I can give
Food very good. Cant really comment on the service as we were the only customers so food came quickly - was nicely presented. Staff very friendly.
The food is amazing
Good food good service recomended
All round, in my opinion the best restaurant in Johannesburg. Lynn and the team provide excellent service. Food is really amazing. The decor and atmosphere is authentic and relaxed. Value for money is top notch. They dont skimp on quality ingredients- the cashew chicken is the best in town, with lots of cashews of good quality- not just the token few most restaurants use.Its one of the longest running thai restaurants in Johannesburg, and for good reason. Proper thai food - same as you will get in Thailand- not altered for western tastes. Milkshakes are made with coconut milk, etc. A special place. Good service and wine list is reasonable and compliments the menu.
Excellent service action is really good nd the food is really good
Terrible food. Def not the best thai cuisine in jhb
I reckon is still most authentic Thai food in Jozi. Simple, fresh and honest food.
Over many years whenever Im in Johannesburg I always have a meal at 2 Thai 4 Restaurant. The food is always very good and the service is excellent. Lynne, Brian and all their staff always make me feel so welcome. Definitely one of my favourite Restaurants.
Brilliant service, enjoyed the meal with the kids
Excellent Duck dish...
Credit card machine didnt work. Entertainer app said there was a special, which they didnt adhere to. Food was good, but overall, average experience given above.
Really good food. Reasonably priced
Very good authentic Thai food. It feels like I was right back in Thailand - absolutely tasty!! Their menu is a bit pricey but its worth every cent.
Had takeaways from here many times. The portions are generous, good delivery time, good packaging, great prices...I repeat really decent prices for portions. I recommend it !
Great food at extremely reasonable pricing. Coffee is also very decent. Seems to be sufficient parking and a decent atmosphere, but the decor is a bit dated. Service was brilliant as well as the food. Would definitely return
So quick, so friendly and so delicious
Good food! Good service but would like to have heard some traditional Thai music playing in the background so as to enjoy the full experience!
The crab was delicious!
Nice little spot with great Thai food
Friendly service with great food.
Great food, has been for a few years now. A wide selection of dishes, competitively priced. Can get a bit slow when busy though. Has since become a top option for Uber eats too!
Always excellent
Great food all round - the duck is especially good! Excellent service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Ive seen 2 Thai 4 on the restaurant week options because it lacked reviews, I never booked. The following is a sad tale. When a restaurant stop doing maintenance then you should know they are struggling to survive. Peeling plaster old tables in a high end area is a dead give away. Its far from its glittering heydays.I order the fishcakes as starters but was told they are out of stock so I settled om the chicken satay. The peanut sauce note worthy but the chicken was dry. There was no complimentary tones in the dish. My mains was beef with oyster sauce. Beef was tough and I wonder if the was any oyster sauce Im the brown sauce they serviced. The veggies was nice and crisp and the fried rice. How any one can score this restaurant above 4 is beyond me. Looking at the amount 5 over 5 years, the story is telling and very sad.When I left, I felt nauseous. Be warned
The experience and food were amazing.
Consistently fantastic food and great service. Not cheap, but not overpriced either and portion sizes are good.The crispy chicken and the red duck curry are amazing, but there is something to suit just about everyone and you can choose the level of heat in your curries.
Had a great Pad Thai lunch. Very reasonable price and a great big portion. It was delicious and the food came out nice and quickly. Will definitely be back.
Fantastic and delicious food! The green curry chicken is a definite must!! Friendly staff and quick service. Ill be back!
Still one of my most loved places in joburg! Absolutely delicious food.
Staff are pleasant. Food was not great at all. The duck looked like beef. They need a boost at flavours. Some Asian food take away meals are more appetizing than the expensive meal we had last night. The fried ice cream was not crispy and arrived looking quite unappealing. The waitron was in a hurry to leave and removed my dessert before I was done. Very disappointing.
Great food and service.
Really lovely food, good service. Try anything, its lovely
Nice
Best Thai restaurant in JHB
Best food and most friendliest staff Ive ever met in a restaurant.
Solid Thai food. Agressive marketing of specials lures one back for more. A great introduction to all that is Thai without the airline ticket. Even a strong appreciation of the national king and religion is evident.
Absolutely delish... Def a place to try
Love the food here
Reasonable quiet old world traditional Thai restaurant. Very nice
Its been long since Ive been to a restaurant serving literally the perfect food 💖👌
Disappointing pad Thai dish tasted very metallic management weren’t interested expensive also freezing despite sitting by a fireplace not in use for a freezing winter day 🙈
Food was good but I feel like there are better Thai restaurants in JHB
Great food ..super service...great ambiance
We have been there a few times and the food has always been consistent and good. Price is also reasonable considering the area in which it operates and most certainly not near the price you pay in Sandton City
Authentic Thai food. Large portions. Service may be a bit slow if youre in a hurry.
Awesome find. Great service and quality food. Loved everything about it
Four of us just had lunch, crispy beef was cold , service was average, phad thai had a metal taste and management was not interested. Not worth the price you pay
Food was pretty bad. They didnt have stock of 2 different orders. The staff were really polite and friendly though.
Enjoyed a dinner here, lighting could be slightly dimmer...
Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere too
Not a great experience. The springrolls were nice, but the tofu starter was bland. The green curry certainly not the best Ive ever had.
Really enjoy the food here. I prefer a take away compared to sitting down. Restaurant seems quite empty due to the large amounts of take away.
Excellent inexpensive authentic Thai food. Nothing fancy but always tasty and good service
The best tasting thai food in the southern hemisphere. This is a lost gem.
Its a Wow! Crab curry at its best! In Jhb.
The food was nice and there was enough parking space.
This restaurant can really get more exposure. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. Trully a great place to eat!!!!!
Fresh hot and very tasty food, nice atmosphere and service. Really enjoyed our meal.
Lekker Thai food, friendly service. But park your car in front of the entrance only not above the house.
Great thai food great service pity so empty not cheap
Deserted on a Saturday night! Food was great though.
The quality of the food has dropped terribly.. Very quiet
Great food and lovely staff
Good food staff are very friendly value for money
Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and good quality food
Great food, great atmosphere, great staff! Still one of my favourite places to eat 18 years later...
Romantic atmosphere.. Great food
Good food. Good service. Outdoors and indoors!!! Thanx for always being a pleasure to visit!
No complaints, enjoyed the meal. Decent venue.
