SIAM Thai Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in England

Ordered a take away, but had won ton soup and glass of zinfandel while waiting.

My take away order took around 50 minutes despite restaurant being quiet ( there were 6 tables sat). No idea why Thai Street food style dishes would need so long to get ready

Very pricey: 2 mains, small glass of wine, rice, soup = £54 without service

I would be more than happy to pay that much if the food was at least decent

wonton soup was decent, can't complain, just a small portion we didn't get free prawn crackers jasmine rice was just a long grain rice skewers were super dry, beef ones just chewy I kind of understand they don't travel well seafood ginger & mushroom stir fry was just a joke. There was barely any sea food, sauce was bland.

Decor - just tacky some quickly scribbled paper sheets on the windows. Sticky tables, worn out chairs, some dirty sticky mats on the tables. Whole messy section of random stuff next to the bathroom entrance. That's the stuff you don't want to see at this...

This review is based on my own experience last night, and it wasn't great. Ordered sweet and sour sea bass, deep fried fish but still raw on the inside, probably used frozen fish and deep fried without thawing it. Complained to waitress who then returned the dish to the kitchen and came back telling us the chef will be making s fresh one. Took a chunk of the raw one out beforehand so as to proof it was not cooked properly. "Freshly made replacement" was served and it was the same fish, but re-fried. We could even taste the burnt bits on the fish. Full price was charged and when I questioned about the bill, the waitress did not say anything. I'm not sure what to feel about this - fish wasn't cooked properly, the owner was there, knew about it but did not apologise personally, and instead of cooking a fresh one, it was recycled, and what more, full price was charged. I can see many people enjoyed dining here but I will not return again and certain will not recommend to my friends...

This was our 4th time here & this was by far the worse meal & service received. I'm not sure if they have a new chef but the food was tasteless, we ordered a bottle of wine which we did not receive to part way into meal as she had forgot, then the icing on the cake was the wine we ordered we got to the last couple of glasses & it was full of sediment so we did not finish it. We let the Manager know & she asked us what she should tell her supplier as to why this had happened, we explained that it had obviously been sat on the shelf for too long. We had to pay in full for the wine even though we had only had a couple of glasses out of it. We have decided that our next visit to Hartlepool we will definitely not be...
