Thai By Ja

4.8(210 reviews)

About

On Isle of Wight, Thai By Ja occupies Charter House, 14a St Thomas' Square, Newport PO30 1SL, United Kingdom, in the island's main town. The restaurant has built a following that shows in a 4.8 out of 5 rating across 210 reviews, and its website at https://www.thaibyja.co.uk/ gives the full picture of what is served. Newport sits at the centre of the Isle of Wight, which makes it the natural meeting point for visitors coming from Ryde, Cowes, Sandown, Shanklin, Ventnor, Freshwater or Yarmouth. First-time visitors should expect a Thai kitchen in the middle of a British island town, with the menu carrying the flavours that name implies. The Isle of Wight has vehicle ferries from Portsmouth, Lymington and Southampton, plus a foot service, so reaching Newport from the mainland takes a single crossing followed by a short bus or taxi ride. Diners arriving from the island's coastal resorts will find the town well connected by local buses, and the square itself sits close to Newport's main shopping streets. Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, so booking a table ahead makes sense during the busiest weeks. Winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, which is worth remembering when planning a crossing outside the warmer months. The restaurant's steady review count suggests a consistent kitchen rather than a seasonal one, and the rating reflects that over time. For anyone staying on the island, Newport is the easiest town to reach from almost any direction, and Thai By Ja sits within it.
