Giggling Squid - Henley

We had a lovely meal on what was a very special occasion for us. Great service, it was very busy but waiting time was minimum. Staff very friendly and polite. Will definitely return again..

Second experience at the Giggling Squid in Henley, and it was just as enjoyable as the first. It was a Tuesday in the early evening so the crowd was sparse. Food was good, staff were attentive, and an enjoyable experience all around. As most of you know who have had the pleasure of a visit to beautiful Henley, parking can be somewhat of a challenge, my advice is park in the Waitrose car park, you can pay for up to 3 hours and it is a short walk to the restaurant.

We visited Giggling squid at Henley with our kids and our table were waiting for us when we got there with high chair for our baby. We’ve been welcomed, everyone was friendly, helpful and all our questions about the menu were answered. However, the food were brought to us less than 5 minutes after we made the order. It was clearly microwaved, the prawns very dry and chewy, although nicely presented.
The starters and mains were brought at the same time. Unfortunately, we also needed to remind about the wine we’ve ordered and water for the table as we’ve been eating without any drinks. Our kids were given drinks straight l away which is good, sadly they didn’t eat anything.
I was very looking forward to visiting Giggling squid but got very disappointed with the food. Expected to eat authentic tai cuisine but ended up tasting microwaved spicy seafood and mushy noodles.

I am a lover of Thai cuisine and this place really hits the mark.

Their food is cooked wonderfully and has lots of flavour as expected. I absolutely love the pad Thai.

Only slight downside was my partners sticky chicken dish. When looking on the menu online it doesn’t say that the dish is spicy. However it seemed like there was a element of heat to the dish.

That being said, the quality of the food is exceptional. I would certainly recommend a visit to the Giggling Squid in Henley.

We entered because we love asian and especially Thai food. We took duck dumplings and papaya salad for starter, for main we ordered green curry chicken and pad thai. Food was so delicious, we asked the manager about the restaurant and he explained its a chain. Surprising! Chains usually don't serve such an exclusive food. Well done! Awesome restaurant

We can refresh the Thai style taste especially the spicy food in this restaurant. The staff are nice and efficiently. We recommend and will return again.

What an excellent restaurant - the food, especially the starters (the squid especially especially) was excellent. But more than that, the service was top notch - we had a pram with us and the staff put themselves out to accommodate us and make sure we enjoyed our evening even if it inconvenienced them. Such a great place - would recommend!

Typically well done Giggling Squid. Lovely venue - crisp, clean and classy with a hint of old world (oak beams and pillars). Enjoyed Two Giggling Squid from the tapas menu - lovely chicken massaman curry. Portions are not huge - but perfect for a decent lunch. Staff are attentive and food delivered quickly. Very impressive.
