    I'm hoping someone could recommend an authentic Thai restaurant.

    My girlfriend is a big fan of Thai food, so I want to bring her somewhere nice for her upcoming 30th.

    We live around the Sandyford area but anywhere from around there to town would suit.

    Siam Thai in Dundrum.
    Baan Thai in Leopardstown and Ballsbridge.
    Koh and Saba are probably the best in town.

    as it's her 30th, maybe go for somewhere like Saba, and go for nice drinks before (and after!) around town. plenty of good pubs / cocktail places there to impress her :)

    Excellent, thanks. Is there one in particular that would standout to you for having an authentic decor?

    It's been around the longest afaik.
    Koh and Saba are more 'trendy' places.

    Baan Thai is fairly run of the mill when it comes to the food in my opinion, and the decor hasn't been updated in about ten years I'd say - everything looks a bit tired or something.

    Saba is the place to go.

    Siam Thai is really nice, definitely worth a visit.

    Can't say I'd agree but each to their own. I've spent a lot of time in Thailand over the years and love Thai food, but not Siam Thai.

    Siam Thai is so mneh for me. Really didn't enjoy it. It's nice and I wouldn't say no if all my buddies were going, but I wouldn't seek it out either.

    Saba is delish. You pay thru the nose for it, but it's delish.

    Fave thai in town for me is Diep Le Shaker and OMG I JUST CHECKED AND IT'S CLOSED?!?! :(

    ...Saba it is.
