    The GIGGLING SET from the Tapas menu
    Chuck M.

    Located just a short walk from St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the Giggling Squid is a great choice for Thai while in Bury St Edmunds. Service was friendly and prompt, the atmosphere casual yet refined. Be cautious of speaker placement if you wish to have a conversation with your meal as the music is somewhat loud at some tables. Starter: The One Bite Salmon: Crispy-edged salmon with lemongrass, lime, ginger, chilli, toasted coconut flakes and fried shallots, drizzled with salty-sweet dressing and nestled on a betel leaf. Wrap each one and devour in one mouthful. These were delicious! Expect a nice balance of sweetness & acidity. Entree: I had the GIGGLING SET from the Tapas menu: Sleeping Honey Duck, Wholesome Chicken Cashew Stir Fry, Spring Rolls, Jasmine Rice. Everything was wonderful! I recommend this choice if you're adverse to more spicy Thai foods. It's quite mild yet does not sacrifice on flavor at all.

    What a unique atmosphere! The inside of this restaurant deserves 5 stars- it has beautiful and fun decor that makes it perfect for a date night. The food was good and beautifully presented. Great pork buns and chicken pad Thai with a lattice pancake over top.

    Two Giggling Squids Lunch

    I had the two giggling squids lunch. Everything about this dish was amazing. My first time trying squid and the salt and pepper squid was amazing. The Thai Wings were some of my favorite, and the chicken curry had great flavor. All the employees were very friendly and we had a great experience!!

    I was so....excited to come here today and was wanting soup for this cold weather. And it was yumm!! Definitely will be coming back!

    Delicious lunch meal set (veggie tempura and chicken pad thai).

    Very nice and cozy atmosphere. The food is fresh and delicious. I recommend the lunch meal sets. Pad thai is always a classic and they do a good job with fresh ingredients and good flavors. It does take a bit longer than I expected to settle the bill, but other than that I will be returning again.

    The green curry is very good, both chicken and shrimp. The money bags are also a favorite.

    Honestly, it was alright, but I wish that there was Thai iced tea on the menu. That alone would have given this place an extra star.

    The starters were good and we particularly liked the salt and pepper squid and the one bite salmon.

    Very friendly service. Excellent authentic Thai cuisine. Intimate setting. Highly recommended.read more

    I'll start off by saying that I don't generally give places a full five stars on my first visit…read morebecause they'll usually do something trivial to irritate me or their food won't knock my socks off. This place, however, had amazing food, the best Thai tea that I've ever had, and the woman who served us (I won't insult her by trying to spell her name) was extremely friendly and forthcoming despite the fact that they were closing in twenty minutes for the end of lunch. I'm from The States; so, perhaps I find British food a little bland and repetitive after a few months but their food had great flavor and was decently priced for the quality. After stumbling through the menu after a night of drinking, she kindly joked that I needed some sugar to clear my fuzzy head and recommended that I have a large Thai tea as we waited for our food. I agreed and Boy! Am I grateful I did. You won't find any of that orange, powdered pre-made stuff like you do in the states at this spot. It was so refreshing and definitely the pick-me-up that I needed. The Bangkok Pad Thai with prawns was also delicious. She let me spice it up and cautioned me against ordering the Thai Spicy until I came back haha. I stuck with a level three and it had some good heat to it. I also got eight giant prawns in a medium sized amount of Pad Thai. For me, that's pretty amazing considering that it was only 10 pounds and typically places either give you those tiny prawns or only one or two of them. So, I'll definitely be getting it again. My friends ordered the Drunken Noodles (with rice noodles) and the Panang Chicken Curry. They both let me try a bite of both and they were also amazing. The coconut milk in the curry is phenomenal and the drunken noddles had a nice savory taste. I would also order their meals another time. Other than the food being well worth it, the woman who took care of us and took our take out order was hilarious and I can't wait to go back and get to actually dine in. I'll be posting photos the next time!
