Genting Thai

Introducing Genting Thai Restaurant, the only authentic Thai dining establishment in Killarney and one of the premier Thai restaurants on the island of Ireland. Established in Killarney in October 2004, and more recently relocated to spacious new premises on Beech Road since August 2018, Genting Thai Restaurant has always provided locals and visitors with an unforgettable culinary experience while allowing them to savour the diverse flavours and tastes of Thailand. This commitment is achieved through the fusion of fresh herbs and spices with the finest quality, locally sourced meats and vegetables, with all sauces crafted in-house. It is this dedication to quality and authenticity that makes Genting Thai's cuisine unique. Since its establishment 20 years ago, Genting Thai has remained a family-run business, with many family members contributing to its success over the years. The restaurant boasts an extensive menu catering to all tastes, including a vegan menu and options for guests with dietary restrictions such as coeliac or gluten intolerance. Additionally, a kids' menu is available to cater to younger diners. With a full restaurant license, Genting Thai offers a wide selection of drinks, cocktails, and spirits to complement the dining experience. Notably, last year saw the introduction of Thailand's renowned Singha beer on tap, alongside Guinness, providing patrons with a diverse range of beverage options. Originally situated in the bustling Innisfallen Mall on Main Street, Genting Thai relocated to its current, larger space on Beech Road in August 2018. The decor at both locations is authentically Thai, featuring a large Buddha statue that required a special license to import from Thailand, coconut wall decorations sourced from Thailand, and handcrafted mango wood carvings adorning the exterior, reminiscent of those found on government buildings and sacred temples in Thailand. The cuisine at Genting Thai encompasses a wide array of Thai dishes, from traditional curries to spicy chili oil and Pad Thai. The restaurant prioritizes fresh ingredients, with orders for vegetables and herbs significantly larger than those of other establishments. This ensures an ample supply of basil, lemongrass, galangal, garlic, and fresh chilies. Over the years, new dishes have been added to provide even more variety and choice, dispelling the misconception that all Thai cuisine is spicy. Customers are encouraged to customise their orders, with the option to omit or substitute ingredients to suit their preferences. Genting Thai's talented team of chefs hails from Thailand, with some members boasting over 18 years of experience with the restaurant. Last year, the team welcomed five new chefs, further enhancing their culinary expertise. Despite its growth, the core team, including the head chef, starter chef, and sous chefs, remains dedicated to delivering exceptional Thai cuisine, with many of them having been part of the Genting Thai family for two decades.
