The Thai Chef — Restaurant in England

Recommended as top Thai restaurant in the area...turned up and no one around to show us to a table, so we take a seat anyway for a table of 4...there is only 2 of us. We finally get seen too with menus and abruptly got asked to move to a 2 seater table, after telling the woman we were comfortable in our seats she slammed the menus at the side of the table and walked away with a face on her which was not welcoming and made me feel very uncomfortable. There were only one other table in the entire restaurant, so there was no problem in us choosing where to sit to eat.

The rice seemed like it's been left for a long time because the vegetables have discolored a little. The pad Thai was not too bad but too sweet. Overall we don't think we would go back again. For Thai food enthusiasts we wouldn't...

Service is good, staff are friendly, food came out quick. If you want an adequate meal, this will do. Ran by Thai which is great, but no chef among them. Quality of Thai food was poor. Meat was tough because it was precooked and reheated to order. It really doesn’t take 5minutes to flash-fry sliced meat, so I’m not sure why would anyone want to save time through precooking. Curry was watery and lack proper Thai flavours (galangal ginger, cumin, coriander, cardamom, cloves, tamarind paste). Suggest to spend a few hours to make a proper curry base, build the depth of flavours, then use that...
