Bow's Kitchen, located on the second floor of a pub at 10 Market Place, Margate, is quickly becoming a treasured spot for Thai cuisine enthusiasts. The restaurant has garnered attention for its diverse menu that features flavorsome dishes at reasonable prices. The Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce and the Mixed Starter for Two have been well-received, making for an inviting culinary experience. Patrons have lauded the rich Gaeng Kiew Wan and the Kuay Teow Pad Kee-Mao, aptly balancing spices and ingredients to create harmonious dishes. Wenchieh Wu highlighted the attention to detail in the egg fried rice, showcasing the quintessential 'wok hei.' The ambiance is described as warm and homely, which, combined with reliable service, makes it a favorite among locals. However, accessibility remains a concern, as the restaurant is located on the first floor without lift access, posing challenges for some patrons. Despite this, Bow's Kitchen stands out as a hidden gem, enthusiastically recommended by the community. Whether you're a Thai food aficionado or a curious newcomer, this establishment deserves a place on your culinary itinerary in Margate.

Reviews For Bow's Kitchen

Wenchieh Wu

We had “Kuay Teow Pad Kee-Mao” with beef and “Gaeng Kiew Wan”(curry), egg fried rice, and mango sticky rice as dessert. The food was tasty and flavorful and it had the suitable amount of spiciness that invited you to have one bite after another, instead of burning your sense of tasting. Special shoutout to the egg fried rice. Such simple elements were combined so well and the Wok hei from stir-frying was on point. Mango sticky rice was average compared to our other orders, but could be worth trying if you haven’t tasted this thai dessert before.

I've been here a couple of times lately, it's always been a good experience. The food and service has been spot on. There are a lot of Thai Restaurants in Thanet, and they are all unique. You should definitely try to visit them all. Bow's has a nice homely feel, I look forward to coming here. It's one of my top picks for somewhere to eat.

Have visited here last 2 visits to Margate and excellent all round. Enjoyed table by the window Sunday lunchtime with great service from chap with spectacles. Food / value is fantastic. Highly recommended. Plus they bring drinks up from the pub downstairs (Guinness with a Thai - superb).

Nice Thai restaurant with very reasonable prices. Friendly staff, and plenty of seating available. Located on the 1st floor with no elevators available it is difficult for wheelchair users.

A Thai hidden gem in Margate (as it is on the second floor of a pub, and it is not clearly indicated how to get in, or even if it exists).
Please Sir !

Every time I go I’m absolute devastated that it has to come to an end! I have eaten at many Thai restaurants it never once has one come close to Bow’s! She and her team are worlds apart from the competition. I’ve had take away as well as dining in and honestly it doesn’t get better than this! Sensational flavours accompanied with unbelievable service! I could live here!
