I had been here maybe 6 years ago, and recently tried it again. The most recent reviews at this time are all very good, lots of 5 stars and lots of mentions of authentic food.
I can only assume these people have never been to Thailand and/or had authentic Thai food, because it's simply not, not in the slightest.
This restaurant is a perfect example of a place that is catering to English tastes, the green curry was essentially a UK version... much in the same way that Indian restaurants have a tikka masala, which is a completely made up in authentic dish .. so to is Thai 4 twos green Thai curry ... some would say the flagship dish of any Thai eatery.
Authentic Thai curry has fish sauce, spicy with lime and crucially sweet basil.
This didn't have any of these, furthermore it was actually so weak it wasn't green at all but an off yellow sort of colour, also the chicken was hard and dry and definitely not freshly prepared.
I am trying to be more balanced in my review but I would say that the service was a little slow, also, the guy with earings didn't really speak much, when someone comes to the table I like to at least have a small conversation.
All in all, it's a no from me. Sorry Thai 4 two, you just aren't an authentic...
Read moreThe Thai Four Two restaurant we consider to be the best Thai restaurant we have come across. It is very popular amongst locals, so make sure you pre-book your visit to avoid disappointment!
We were always warmly welcomed right from very first time by the owner of the restaurant or staff. Every client they treat as V.I.P. and you will feel great there.
At all our visits there, the restaurant was almost fully booked.
We never wait for our meal long there, about 15-20 min, and that seemed very fast considering how busy they always are. Very impressive indeed!
The decor is very beautiful there. They have fish tank and little fish pond there too! Such a little germ in Rochester high street!
Food is very delicious, freshly prepared, outstanding quality and reasonably priced.
Staff is very polite, friendly, very helpful and accommodate all your requests there (talking about reasonable requests here! :)).
They are closed every Monday and Tuesday.
Lunches there between 12:00 and 14:00 pm.
Dinners on Tuesday-Thursday between 6:00 pm and 9:30 pm; on Friday-Saturday between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm and on Sunday between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm.
You can have take away there too!
We really enjoy our visits there every time and will be...
Read moreI’ve been here about 5 or 6 times now over the years. Thai food being my favourite type of food I do know my stuff when it comes to Thai food. Each time I’ve come here ive had the Bangkok set meal for two. It is absolutely worth the money. The set meal comes out in three separate courses. Each course the food comes out in good timing and the plates are cleared away as well without asking. The staff are really attentive. The chicken yellow curry tastes delicious even though it is mild in the spice but I do love a bit of heat. The pad Thai noodles are also fantastic, it tastes so fresh and authentic. My only slight criticism is the Tom yum soup. For me it tastes to salty and also to sour from the kappier lime leaves and the lemongrass. It is a very required taste and not a lot of people like it, maybe it could be altered a bit if not many people eat it but I still eat it though. You always have to book in advance here as it’s always fully booked and you are restricted to 1.5 to two hours table time which is fine as you have plenty of time. I really would like it if they had a website and where you could have an online booking system where you could also see the menu. They are only on Facebook. Will definitely keep...
