Experience exquisite Thai cuisine on the Isle of Wight

Established in 2024, Thai by Ja proudly brings the rich, vibrant flavours of Thailand to the Isle of Wight. From the moment you step inside our beautifully designed restaurant, you can expect a warm and friendly welcome, attentive service, and an unforgettable dining experience rooted in authenticity and passion. Whether you are discovering Thai cuisine for the first time or are already a devoted fan, Thai by Ja offers something truly special for everyone. 

At the heart of the restaurant is Ja, our head chef, whose lifelong love of Thai food and culture inspires every dish we serve. Ja brings cherished homemade family recipes from Thailand, and recreates them with care and precision here on the Isle of Wight. Her cooking reflects years of exploring Thailand’s diverse culinary regions, each with its own unique flavours, techniques, and traditions. This deep personal connection to the food is what sets Thai by Ja apart and gives every meal a sense of authenticity and soul.

Authentic Thai dishes

Our carefully curated menu showcases a wide range of authentic and traditional Thai dishes, alongside lesser-known specialities that offer guests the chance to explore something new. Every dish is prepared using a distinctive balance of aromatic herbs, fragrant spices, and bold, well-rounded flavours that Thai cuisine is famous for. From subtle and comforting dishes to vibrant, fiery creations, there is something to suit everyone.

To ensure the highest standards of quality and authenticity, we use traditional Thai ingredients. These carefully sourced ingredients allow us to stay true to classic Thai recipes while delivering wholesome, and flavour-packed dishes every time.

You are invited to discover a diverse selection of appetisers, main courses, and desserts, each crafted to awaken the senses and excite the tastebuds.

Our menu encourages sharing making it perfect for couples, families, and groups of friends alike.
