Looking for a delicious Thai restaurant in the heart of Reading? Rosa’s Thai delivers bold Bangkok flavours from its stylish setting in Jackson’s Corner. Housed in a landmark building dating back to 1875 and just five minutes walk from Reading Station, it’s an ideal place for a relaxed lunch after shopping, a pre-gig bite, or dinner with friends and family.
The restaurant was founded by Saiphin Moore, who grew up on a mountain farm in northern Thailand before bringing her family recipes to the UK. Her passion for bold flavours and honest cooking runs through every dish on the menu.
Start with crispy chilli mushrooms, moo ping pork skewers, or prawn crackers with peanut sauce. Larger plates include drunken noodles, green or massaman curry and pad Thai. Spice levels are customisable, and dishes can be adapted for allergies.
There’s also a dedicated kids’ menu, Little Roses, which includes a starter, main and drink, with an optional ice cream dessert for £1.50. Choices include chicken satay, stir-fried flat noodles and Rosa’s fried rice. Rosa’s Thai offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, is fully step-free and ideal for birthdays, date nights, family meals or group celebrations.
Inside, the restaurant is light and bright with eclectic touches. Expect big windows, wooden partitions, a striking teal-tiled bar, red barstools and plenty of greenery throughout. It’s vibrant yet laid-back, suiting everything from casual meals to special celebrations.
