Most Disliked
The limited seating can cause frustration, particularly during peak times when walk-ins may face long wait times or even be turned away without a reservation.
Some diners note that the small size can lead to a slightly warmer environment, especially on hot days, which might affect comfort level.
A few reviews mention that not all dishes hit the mark, with items like prawn and chicken toast being described as bland compared to the otherwise vibrant menu.
Parking can be a hassle in the area since it is a popular location, so arriving early is advisable to secure a spot.
Some guests find the prices slightly on the higher end for a casual dining experience, though many agree it aligns with the quality of food.

Quaint little restaurant that makes you feel like you’re at family’s house for dinner. Excellent food and great service. Prefer this place to the other Thai place up the street but both are great. Best to make a reservation as the place is small and popular. Lots of vegetarian options

We had our hearts set on Thai while in Weymouth. This place was amazing service was good and the food excellent. We will definitely use again. The mini spring rolls, tempura prawns, vegetable green curry and the king prawns were all cooked to perfection. Keep up the good work thank you.

I loved this place I was looking for some Thai food and yum I got it! I ordered the Thai green curry which was just absolutely delicious 😋. I also had the special fried rice which was super nice! The cafe was pretty full so lucky I had booked in advance.

We've been meaning to come and eat here, but it's always so busy when you walk past. We pre-booked this time and so glad we did. Possibly the best Thai food we've had. My partner asked the lady what she recommended meat wise for a massamam curry, she said the beef or lamb as it's very soft. She wasn't lying, the beef was incredibly soft and melted in your mouth. Everything was so full of flavour (apart from the prawn and chicken toast, which we found a little bit bland with the chicken in it). It is a small restaurant so does get hot when it's very warm outside. Would 100% come back again

Had an impromptu visit to Mona’a this evening and was lucky enough to be accept in without a reservation. Service and atmosphere was impeccable, really friendly front of house and joyful locals who shared good tips around other local restaurants. The food was incredible, completely unfaultable. Full of authenticity and fresh flavours - best food I’ve eaten in a long while.

Was looking for a restaurant to dine alone in Weymouth and Mona's didn't dissapoint. I had a warm welcome and my order was quickly taken The Chu Chee Pla was one of the best versions I've ever tasted, the Som Tum salad was spicy and fresh. All of it was washed down with a lovely glass of white wine. The whole experience was perfect. If I visit Weymouth again I'll definitely be come back to Mona's
