Ton Thai is a Thai street food cafe at 2D Merthyr Road in Tongwynlais, Cardiff. The compact venue welcomes dine in guests and also prepares takeaway orders, serving a focused lunch menu and a broader evening selection.
Starters include chicken satay, Thai fish cakes, spring rolls, dim sum, prawns on toast and crisp bean curd. Tom yum and coconut based tom kha soups introduce the fragrant combination of lemongrass, chilli and herbs found across the menu.
Green, red, yellow, massaman and jungle curries can be paired with chicken, beef, tofu or plant based mock meats. Pad Thai, pad kra pow, pad see ew and vegetable stir fries extend the choice, with rice and noodle dishes available for diners seeking something outside the curry section.
A children’s menu and desserts such as banana fritters make the cafe practical for families, while the range of tofu and mock meat options supports meat free meals. Peanuts, soy, gluten, shellfish and other allergens feature in the kitchen, so guests should discuss dietary needs with staff before ordering.
