Time 4 Thai — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Thurs 8pm mid Dec, No booking. First time eating here as other places were booked. Big Asian food fans (partner is Chinese) and the food was tasty, however I don’t feel the he whole experience reflected the price.

Was half full, very clean, great attentive staff who are unobtrusive. The place is windowless but there are some spots that feel dingy due to the dark decor and dim lights and high feels lacking in atmosphere-be careful where you sit.

There is only 1 by the glass wine choice for red, rose etc, but he rest is by the bottle.

Ordered spicy squid-plentiful, cooked well but coating was very wet. Chicken satay-generous portion, moist. Veg spring rolls-bit tasteless but wrappers were crisp & not greasy. Annoyingly their pretty presentation made them more challenging to eat. All sauces were nice. No chopsticks were offered-odd.

Mains were 2 pineapple & king prawn massaman curries with coconut rice. Requested extra mild spic despite this being a coconut based mild curry. Generous servings full of courgette, pepper & squash all perfectly cooked. 8 deveined juicy prawns. Didn’t det Ct any fresh pineapple chunks. By gosh this was spicy enough to cause 3 coughing fits and tears in my dining partner & I! Thought it was maybe normal spice level but receipt stated “extra mild”.

Desserts were the usual Thai variety of mango or black sticky rice but we were full.

All in all-pricey for what it was as an overall experience. So many other places I’d recommend before it so I personally...

This used to be one of my favorite Thai places. Unfortunately the service and food I received today were sub-par. First, I ordered the Massaman chicken curry and the food was sickeningly sweet.. very different from how it is made it a Thailand which is less sweet more creamy and has more vegetables like potatoes, aubergine, etc. it also includes a small portion of rice - I could have used more for my dish. The duck spring rolls were also a weird consistency and came out in chunks when biting.. again with a super sweet sauce. Not the best choices today.

Lastly, every time I've been here it's been dead. Today, I had eaten a late lunch and stayed a couple hours afterwards to finish some work. This person was different from the one who had served me, who promptly came with the bill and asked me how long I'd be staying for. When I asked him if they wanted me to leave, he just smirked a bit and didn't answer. When I told him I would only be another 15 min he said, 'that's ok then". After paying which by the way, has gratuity automatically added to your bill I asked if they close in between lunch and dinner. The answer was "no, we're open all day on weekends but you stayed too long". I'd say, that's not good customer service, especially if I paid for a big meal and it wasn't busy at all (literally no one there for quite some time - only an employee in the back asleep snoring at one of the far tables).

I regret paying the gratuity now and won't be returning or...

Very disappointed in the food here. I understand that there appeared to be an issue in the kitchen (possibly due to staffing/COVID-19 etc.) but it impact on our dining experience. Our mains came 30 minutes after we finished our appetisers and all of our food was cold when it arrived. We ordered the lemongrass pork neck and the thai BBQ spare ribs for starters. For our mains we shared the Duck Panang Curry and the Phad Keemao. The Duck Panag Curry was delicious however I was very confused when the Phad Keemao came with what looked like a Chinese style wheat noodle as opposed to a rice noodle. I'd like to be clear that the wait staff were all very lovely and polite and also offered us free prawn crackers for the delay. However, despite this with the food being very cold upon arrival in combination with also being severely late, we probably won't be...
