Ting Thai Caravan (Old Town)

• I went there with my 5 month old son and was made to feel so awkward that I left before ordering any food
• 'Yam Sam Krob' (crispy prawn and squid with chilli and lime)
• The starters were really yummy nibbly bits
• The crackling the accompanied the prawn and squid was a little chewy and the drinks were incredibly sweet
• The crackling was a bonus and we're not really big juice people anyway
• Yam Moo Yang (grilled marinated thai style pork) and Massaman Ped (duck massaman curry) with some rice to share
• ) for lunch seems really wonderful with a menu this special
• With all the extras our bill was just over £
• The pork was very yummy with delicious flavours
• Apparent visually as well as in the taste that paired with a spot of rice would do me nicely and day of the week
• I thought the massaman curry was truly excellent
• Wave after wave of delicate flavours paired with the most falling apart tender duck you can imagine
• Chow down experience in a cool setting with great tasting
• The staff reluctantly allowed us to be served and then to our surprise we found out the place was open for another hour
• Worst of all was my dining partner's vegetarian dish contained chicken
• It's a great location with a lot of style
• The soot colored exterior is dark and brooding
• The signage is understated
• For the past month they have been operating a reduced menu to cope with the festival hordes descending every day
• The bubble prawns are my favourite
• You get 3 in the box and they are really well priced at £
• Sweet potato crispies (we added an extra side order) were just perfect as were our chilli squid and crispy pork
• Onto mains and my Steak and prawn dish was really tender and tasty
• Though the pair of pork cutlets were huge with a caramelised coating of sesame
• Singha beer topped off our meal and it was very reasonable at £
• The food does vary with some days being seriously spicy and others not so
• If you get there before 5pm (i think) alot of dishes are cheaper but not smaller in portion
• My second visit was with a group of girls from 3 different countries that came to visit me in Edinburgh
• As I said the food is good but not stand out for me so I cant recommend any delicious dish but I can advise that the pork and sticky rice balls were very disappointing
• I pictured deep fried rice balls with a pork center but it wasn't it was pork and rice pureed together and deep fried
• The prawns on a stick were not my thing either but I'm not a massive prawn lover
• The famous deep fried egg starter was also a let down
• Quite a bit more pork than is often seen in Thai restaurants
• T have batted an eyelid but queuing for a restaurant in Edinburgh is not something I&rsquo
• The poor waiters are rushing around like nobody&rsquo
• D compare it to Busaba but with the novelty of not being a chain and the whole atmosphere is much edgier
• The spicy beef salad with red onions
• Mint and parsley was wonderfully light and refreshing
• The salad was served in a take away brown box which I found very cute but my husband found a bit pointless given it was a sit down meal
• The Gai Cha Plu was served the same way
• This was a grilled chicken dish which was marinated in lemongrass
• T overcooked at all which is always a concern when the strips are cut so thin
• The star of this Edinburgh Fringe show though was the Nua Yam Talay
• A grilled rump steak with king prawns seasoned with lime
• T usually my preferred cut when it comes to steak but I was so impressed with this
• We accompanied our meats with plain rice and wok fried vegetable noodles which were cooked well
• Ting Thai caravan was excellent value for money
• I called to make a booking for 2 people and was informed on the phone they didn't take bookings and we were to just turn up
• We had a night planned for dinner and then the cinema so we were anxious to get there straight after work one Friday to ensure we got a table
• Luckily we did although it was packed and pretty soon after we arrived there was a queue out the door for tables
• The set up inside is pretty cool
• It is more like benches so you are seated next to other people and the place is small inside so i would be reluctant to try and eat here as a group
• The vibe is quite 'fast paced' in that we were too busy catching up and not looking at the menu we were asked about 4 times if we were ready to order
• I just had to go with the green curry and coconut rice and I am so glad I did
• I have now found my favourite place for a green curry just a shame it is so hard to get a table here
• I have to say the two snack boxes we had were disappointing and mainly salad with a few pieces of meat
• I've been to Thailand so I can honestly say it's the best Thai food I've had outside of Thailand
• It's worth when you get inside with a Singa beer and hot tasty food
• We really didn't enjoy our meal here which is such a shame because I'd heard a lot of good things about the good here
• Ped Nam Pueng(duck) with some fried rice
• The food was alright but the real let down was how little of it there was
• We could have gotten a Chinese takeaway for half the price that was twice as satisfying
• The staff had completely changed and were really friendly and accommodating to my veggie needs
• Ting Thai Caravan (Old Town) was meant to be a festival pop up but with the people of Edinburgh queueing out the door it's no wonder they've stayed open
• The noodles and sauce were packed full of flavour
• Infact your meal is served in takeaway cardboard boxes but this just adds to the charm of it all
• Had chicken pad Thai and it was the nicest pad Thai I have ever had
• Quickly grabbing the menu I ordered some chicken with soup as starter
• It was a sunny day and we were craving for lunch so I and my boyfriend decided to fill our tummies with some Thai food
• It was very tasty with perfect combination of sweet and sour flavors
• Then again if you want simple and tasty you can't go wrong with their Pad Thai
• We visited Ting Thai Caravan with some family that were visiting from the states (there were 4 of us altogether)
• We didn't mind but there is no waiting space inside
• You think we could have used the 20 minute wait to decide what we were going to order
• Everything on the menu sounded amazing and by the time we got inside we still didn't know what we were going to order
• Everything was delicious but the portions are very generous and we couldn't eat everything
• The Pad Thai was great but the menu sounded so good that I will definitely have to try a different dish on my next visit
• Seriously delicious Thai food where the staff are friendly and the service is quick
• Ting Thai Caravan (Old Town) is always busy but try grab a seat by the window
• The place was packed so we had to wait a little bit but it was worth the wait
• First serve policy) that is totally worth waiting outside for half an hour
• Strongly recommend the Pad Thai noodles with King Prawns
• Service was quick and friendly even though it was a busy lunchtime
• On my first visit I ordered the Khao Mun Gai Tod which was just the tasted dish I have had in a long time
• The chicken was cooked wonderful and was full of flavour
• A little on the spicy side but not too much if you are a wuss like me
• It's incredibly reasonable and I was almost surprised by it
• The portions are reasonable
• The rice and small platters are comfortably filling
• Weather you are a spicy or non spicy
• I've to admit that walking past for I don't know how many times I always thought it was more like a cocktail bar as it has a very hipster look
• Very good and not too spicy which is good for me
• Just can't see what the big deal is with Ting Thai Caravan (Old Town)
• It is a bit 'hipsterish' and the staff is not the friendliest but the value that you get for your money is amazing
• I tried their Pad Thai which wasn't to my taste since it was a bit sweet for me
• I had Khao Sawy Talay the other day which was a curry broth with seafood
• Loads of seafood and the sauce was a bit spicy and very fresh
• The Tom Yam soup is one of the best ones I had in Edinburgh and the Thai Green Curry is very tasty as well
• Be prepared to share a table with other people since they have big long tables and the chance are you'll seated next to strangers
• Casual dining with the 'street food' feel
• Tried both the red and green and they were large and tasty with lots of chicken
• The servers had bad attitude and were really impatient and rude
• The noodle and rice boxes are amazing value for money and they all taste very different
• We had at least 4 of them and they were all unique
• I couldn't decide which one was my favourite
• Too noisy and chairs are not very comfortable
• One of the best meals during my stay here at Edinburgh was at Ting Thai
• Each meal was filling enough for one and they were served in an easy to dispose boxes for convenience
• The flavors were amazing and different to me
• My friend got Pad Thai and was underwhelmed
• Ordered the (seafood) jungle curry with jasmine rice
• Could not fault the dish and the Pad Thai are scrumptious too
• Washed down with some lemon and ginger drink
• Hands down the best place for cheap Thai food
• I went there with my boyfriend and we thoroughly enjoyed it
• I ordered Nua Yam Talay with a boiled rice and my boyfriend ordered Panang Nua
• Ate there once and was quite happy with the taste
• I tried the chicken with jasmine rice and Oh my gawddddd
• We had tofu flat noodles which was equally good as well
• Since the location is well located near to univ of Edinburgh
• Their Padthai is beyond words
• I love asian foods yet their padthai is the next level
• Their price is cheaper during day time
• Cheap prices and a casual setting to enjoy some tasty Thai food with your friends
• Pad Se Ew and Khao Mun Gai Tod are my absolute favourites
• The Massaman curry is one of the best had in Edinburgh as well
• Ting Thai Caravan is on a lot of "
• Green Curry with Jasmine Rice
• Ting Thai caravan is a buzzing busy diner
• Their coconut rice and Thai green curry was on our menu for 2 consecutive days while in Edinburgh
• So far the best green curry rice combo I have ever had
• Popped in for an impromptu lunch and was pleasantly surprised
• Lovely place with a great vibe
• The chilli sauce was so delicious my vegetarian partner kept stealing bits of it even though it was chicken
• The fillet was on the small side
• Papaya salad and Bangkok spicy wings were bordering on the too spicy side
• T get the wings again as I was expecting crispy wings in sauce
• I am in love with Ting Thai's food
• Honestly some of the best Asian food I have had in a while
• The restaurant is tiny and it was really busy when we got there
• The restaurant is clean but a bit chaotic
• It has a great atmosphere of lingering late night eat8mg in New York in a tiny Asian restaurant where everyone knows everyone and is very vibey
• We almost felt as if they were rushing us in order to flip as many tables as possible
• The seafood was so fresh and the muscles were so big and sweet
• We also munched on the crispy pork skins were were crispy and flavourful
• Very trendy place with a great vibe
• The Som Tam Salad was superb too
• Definitely worth a visit if you are in Edinburgh
• Place could've been a bit kids friendly but other than that the food experience was phenomenal
• The atmosphere is buzzing and the food is delicious
• Was busy as we went in about 2.30 and we shared a high table with another group
• Service is prompt and friendly and given the nature of the restaurant there is a relatively brisk turnover of clientele
