Samui Thai — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

I recently went back to this Thai restaurant that I liked before, but this time was a huge letdown, especially since I brought friends.

First off, they only take cash—no cards or PayPal. I had to walk more than ten minutes to get cash, which was super inconvenient, especially for a bill over 100 euros. For a place like this, it's crazy they don't take cards.

Secondly, the portions were tiny. We ordered five dishes for four people and it wasn't enough, so we had to order another dish. We left feeling still hungry and annoyed.

And to top it off, one of our dishes was wrong. When I told the waiter, he was rude and didn’t even apologize. He just said, "Yeah, we got it wrong," like he didn’t care at all. It felt like we were bothering him, not the other way around.

Overall, this visit was really disappointing and we won't be coming back. I'd suggest others skip...

Really spectacular Thai food. Full of flavour and texture. We loved everything we tried. The levels of spice are on the menu. This isn't a cheap ethnic place that dumbs down their national dishes for the local palate, this is the real deal and I love it. People leaving bad reviews because it was too spicy have only themselves to blame. Read the menu. The Pad Thai was excellent, the fishcakes were perfect and the fried rice was just excellent. The blend of sweet, savoury and the luscious umami of fish sauce and fresh herbs. Absolutely perfect. Service was quick and friendly. €94 for four people with beer and 2 big bottles of water and 5 dishes between us was excellent value as well. If I had one niggle, it would be that portion size for the main dishes could be a little bit bigger. Will definitely be...

Visited Samui Thai for lunch. The food was flavorful and nicely spiced – quite similar to what you’d expect in Thailand. The staff was friendly and accommodating with special requests.

However, the portion sizes were rather small, especially considering the relatively high prices. Soft drinks were only available in 0.2 l servings, which felt a bit stingy.

A major downside was the payment policy: only cash or EC card accepted – no debit or credit cards. That was inconvenient and really not up to today’s standards.

Overall, it’s an okay spot for Thai food with authentic taste, but not without...
