Went here around 7 o'clock this New Year's Eve before going out drinking. The food was great, very authentic Thai cuisine - the starters (duck spring rolls and vegetable and chicken tempura) were delicious. The main (we both had noodle-based dishes) were great too but I find Asian starters are always better. The bill was average (about 60 pounds incl. drink) and the service was quick, sometimes lacking in attention but there wasn't enough staff to cater for everyone in the restaurant as it was NYE. Overall, a lovely meal, would definitely go again.

The food is acceptable. however, it's VERY expensive. I found no motivation to go there the second time since there are many better Thai restaurants in town. Chaophraya Thai restaurant is much better. The food and service there are great and it's also ranked the 5th best restaurant in the Manchester. Also, Phetpailin and Try Thai in China Town are also a lot better with affordable prices. Furthermore, the manager of Koh Samui is very rude and mannerless (the dark and bald guy) , i went to tell him that it was very cold at my table. He ignored me and pretended that he didn't hear me.

Food was tasteless, service was below par and the Manager is extremely arrogant after blaming us that the hair found in the Red Thai curry did not belong to his staff and he made out he was doing us a favour by replacing it, consequently we walked out only after paying for the starters as the manager locked the door. DO NOT GO THERE!

Found a pubic hair on my red curry (number 47). The manager to acused me of putting it it there. Was shocked and refused to eat anything else so the manager made us pay 30 pounds for 2 starters coke bitter lemon and prawn crackers...

After reading reviews on Koh samui i decided to treat my best friend to a meal as she has been my support through really bad times over the past year. I knew she loved thai so thought i would take her out to say Thank you. The meal we had was lovly and the service was great. As i like to eat out alot it was important to me that the food tasted good, which it did. However, when we received the bill, i noticed that i had been charged £6.45 for some plain fried noodles. I could understand paying up tp £3.00 for some noodles in restaurant but not almost £7.00 - you wouldn't even get charged that in London! I told the waiter serving us thinking there must have been some misake but they said that's how much it costs. They were very polite about the situation which is more than i can say for their manager! We asked to speak to the him but he was too busy eating in the restaurant alone to come and talk to his customers. In the end, i paid the bill as he had no intention of coming over to us. When were leaving, i told him that i will be writing a bad review, not on the food or service but on his attitude to which he laughed and said o.k! I was disgusted by this because he obviously didn't care one bit. We will not be returning there due to this and will be letting as many of our connections know about this. Thank you for your time.

After reading various reviews on the Koh samui, i decided to book our Christmas meal for 29 people. The service and food was excellent. We were well looked after, from start to finish. Fantastic.

Food was very good, though rather sweeter than expected from previous thai experiences. Felt that it was rather expensive and service was rather lacklustre and with the wrong food brought at one point. Wouldn't actively go there again as there are plenty of better restaurants in Manchester.

I was interested in trying Thai food and after reading reviews on this site about the Koh Samui, I decided this was the place to go. It proved to be decision I don't regret. The quality of the food from the starter to the dessert was superb, the service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in trying or already likes Thai food.

As good as the Thai island it takes it name from. Wines are fairly priced unlike most Chinese who rip you off. Recommended to follow a theatre show.

Our first visit to the Koh Samui restaurant was last night; it won't be our last. There are many good quality Thai restaurants in Manchester but the food and service here were superlative. At less than £100 for 4 people, each having many Singha beers, starters, mains and a couple of speciality coffees; I think the price was more than acceptable. The recommendation is simple - GO !
