Found this lovely restaurant after spending the weekend at Brands Hatch. Both of my husband and I ordered fish with coconut rice and they were nice. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, it was a lovely dinner before on the way back home. The manager even gave us a bag of prawn crackers to accompany our 4-hour journey to Cardiff. Much appreciated.

Restaurant reopened now, food was up to the standard it was previously, only criticism I would make is there was a very small amount of chicken in the green curry and the massaman curry, not pieces but 6-7 slithers, mainly vegetables and sauce, but both were full of flavour.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND This restaurant is beautiful and the food was so nice and the service from the girls especially Kayla was just spot on and friendly and swift. We had the prawn crackers, Thai mixed platter, 2 x prawn Tom yum soup, I had the Thai red curry and egg fried rice and my other half had a sea bass lemon chilli dish which he really enjoyed and then a banana split dessert. The atmosphere here was nice and the restaurant was small but packed. I’m glad we booked and we even got an email confirmation to say our table was booked and reserved. The layout and presentation of the food was STUNNING , every single course with such little detail added to the presentation and it was just incredible and so stylish especially the desserts. Someone in the kitchen clearly knows what they are doing. The garnishing on the courses was just amazing and your hard work pays off because your customers really appreciate the little touches. The waitresses at this restaurant ensuring they pour the wine for customers and always holding doors open when customers leave. Very respectful and good service and attentive. I have recommended this restaurant to family and friends and we will definitely be back probably even this Sunday for the buffet menu which looks very good. They even cater for Muslims and menu is halal which is just amazing. They cater not just the food but even the drinks for people that don’t drink by having non alcoholic beer and non alcoholic Gordon’s gin and tonic which we both had. Only thing I will say small criticism wise is that the Thai red curry needs to be runnier and spicer not so thick and creamy. Also I was sad that as Thai restaurant they don’t do sticky rice in bamboo baskets which is an experience I love and always opt for in Thai restaurants. Hopefully they will bring it back but this was due to too many customers complaining that the sticky rice was too sticky . Thank you to Thai Emperor restaurant for such a lovely Friday night . We will 110% be back.

We ordered the following starters: - Mixed platter for 2 - Aromatic duck (2 portions for 4) - Salt and Pepper squid For mains we ordered - Chicken Panang curry with jasmine rice x2 - Drunken duck with side of fried rice - chicken red curry with jasmine rice - Garlic fried sea bass - Prawn pad Thai - Steamed sea bass with ginger - Weeping Tiger (beef) All delicious were delicious and the right portion size! We definitely had a great time and good to know that Shan is a local in Swanley as I’ve just recently moved to the area! Would definitely visit again! *note* we didn’t take much pictures as were so hungry and all the dishes were lovely! Thank you for the great hospitality!
