Ting Thai Caravan - OH! Taste
value drinks food busyness staff menu reservations
The battered sweet potatoes (Mun Tod) alone are worth the wait but served with a cold beer, Ting Thai might just be some of the best Thai food that Edinburgh has to offer.
Packed with flavour, nutrients and just enough salty soy sauce for you to feel naughty, Ting Thai is an ideal choice for those craving a thairiffic meal made with fresh ingredients in a lively environment.
With undertones of fish sauce, garlic and soy running through most dishes, this take of Thai street food is a welcome addition to the Edinburgh food scene and is certainly here to say.
The specifics: A small, unpretentious restaurant serving Thai street food in a lively part of Edinburgh.
The Frontrunners: Goong Frong Beer (bubble prawns), Pad See-Ew Gai (noodles and vegetables with a choice of meat) and Mun Tod (battered sweet potatoes).

Although the caravan has now settled in a more permanent location, the interior has an unfinished feel that hints at its previously temporary nature.
Prices are remarkably low, especially for Thai food, making it very popular with students.
However, you should not let any of this fool you into thinking that the food is in any way below par.
Saboteur, Edinburgh, restaurant review - Scotsman Food and Drink
food
Saboteur is great, but it's no competition for its sister restaurant, Ting Thai Caravan, says Gaby Soutar They say that celebs like Kate Moss, Snoopy and the Queen retain their public appeal since they generally remain silent and enigmatic.
This new Vietnamese restaurant – owned by Malcolm Innes, the restaurateur behind Ting Thai Caravan, The Outsider and pizza joint Wildmanwood – has a similar approach to communication.
But, no, according to the waitress, it’s so-called because the owner thought his newest restaurant might sabotage the success of his other place, Ting Thai Caravan, just a few doors along at 8-9 Teviot Place.
However, they were lifted by an amazing sauce, which reminded me of the one that comes with my favourite kai look-keur son-in-law deep fried egg at Ting Thai Caravan.
The chicken pho (£6.50) here is wholesome and soothing – Vietnamese penicillin, with a golden stock, chook breast, rice noodles, bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes, coriander and some sweet sauce that tasted a bit like hoisin.

Ting Tang Caravan Edinburgh | Edinburgh Restaurant Review ...
A popular spot amongst the city's student crowd, Ting Thai Caravan is a small restaurant that's based just across the road from the iconic McEwan Hall and Edinburgh University Student Association.
The venue has a reputation for being one of Edinburgh's edgiest spots, standing out thanks to its exposed brick walls, canteen-style furniture, industrial pipes lining the ceiling and quirky electronic wall fixtures.
Authenticity is central to Ting Thai Caravan's mantra.
The food menu features a selection of traditional dishes that are usually found in the street side canteens of Thailand.
From vibrant green curry to flavoursome pad thai and fresh salads made using seasoned vegetables, every dish packs a punch and leaves a lasting chili kick on each diner.

ambience food menu
Ting Saboteur, the new restaurant by owners of Ting Thai Caravan opened Ting Saboteur, the new restaurant by owners of Ting Thai Caravan, opened a few doors down from them at the end of summer offering a Vietnamese twist on the successful formula of its sister.
We went straight to the Small Box & Sides section of the menu and ordered Banh Phong Tom (Vietnamese prawn crackers with chilli jam), £2.60, Ga Sa Te (grilled chicken skewers with ajard and peanut sauce), £4.40, and Goi Cuon (fresh summer rolls with prawn and vermicelli noodles), £4.40.
The spring rolls were also lovely, light and fresh but the chicken skewers bowled us over; the mixture of sharp vinegar in the ajard mixed with deep, delicious nuts, chilli and perfectly cooked chicken.
The broth light and fragrant, every mouthful was full of unctuous meat, slippery noodles and crunchy veg with a hint of chilli.
Saboteur is unpretentious, serves strikingly good street food with an exciting menu and is roomier than its sister restaurant.
