This little local Thai restaurant has been in the neighbourhood for more than the 10 years I have been coming here. Of course a couple of owner/management changes over this time, however overall the quality has remained high. My friends and family that visit have often remarked at how good it is. Unfortunately I’ve now had a few poor takeaway experiences over the past year - our 2020 Covid lockdown year. I think the increased demands of churning out more and more takeaway meals could be a large cause, however I also suspect some of the chefs are not as good as they have been in the past. Quality control has slipped. I haven’t stopped eating here, and I hope the owners/managers do read these comments as an incentive to restore the quality that Stanmore locals have come to...
Read moreI don’t like to leave bad reviews but I tried to communicate my concerns at the time and didn’t have much luck. I ordered a papaya salad with soft shell crab at dinner time on a hot day - maybe that was my mistake, especially as the restaurant isn’t air conditioned. Nothing tasted fresh, the crab seemed on the turn, and the beans were definitely off. When I mentioned this to the staff they thought I was referring to the spiciness level (I know papaya salad is very spicy) and when I asked for a discount, they gave me the 5% off for cash that is standard. I could have pushed more but I had already said that it was off several times and I didn’t want to make a fuss. Looks like a cute little neighbourhood place but maybe go for something safer...
Read moreI was excited to receive the food hot when delivered.
The smells were amazing and we were all excited.
But unfortunately within a short space of time all three of us started to have a reaction to the food. My mother had the worst, in that she started to get a numbness in her tongue and then it spread down to her throat... I had a bad headache and I started to get heart palpitations. We all immediately knew this was the effects of a reaction from MSG.
There was NO mention of these guys putting MSG in their food. And I hope they will listen to me when I say "PLEASE LIST MSG AS AN INGREDIENT ON YOUR WEBSITE." Thankfully we didn't have to go to hospital, but it was looking close...
