In a paragraph
Thai By Thai and Poon Poon are Chester Market counters for Thai street food, pad Thai, green curry, rice and noodle boxes, quick lunches, families and mixed-group meals.
What it's like
Thai By Thai and Poon Poon sit inside Chester Market, which changes the whole expectation: counter ordering, buzzers, shared tables and everyone in the group free to wander towards a different stall if necessary.
Market Thai without restaurant hush
The draw is fast Thai comfort rather than restaurant ceremony: pad Thai, green curry, duck, rice boxes, noodle bowls, soup, spring rolls and the kind of lunch that can survive a mixed group. At busy times you may queue; at quiet times it can be one of the easier wins in the market.
Worth knowing
This is one of the better uses of Chester Market when you want Thai food without booking a restaurant. It is quick, flexible and often very tasty, but food-hall queues, shared seating and variable spice levels are part of the bargain.
