Sino Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in London

This was difficult place to review, it's not quite 5 stars, not fully 4 stars either. The service is great, the 3 wait staff were pleasant and friendly and full of smiles. The waitress forgot I ordered water but all I did was ask again, no big deal. The starters: we went for the 2 people sharing platter, this from the whole meal was a disappointment and I guess this lost a star, just was not really worthwhile for the price, 2 of each main starter, prawn toast, mini spring roll, spare ribs, satay sticks and finally 2 wings, this really was a non-event and so not worth that price. The mains: 2 x different chicken dishes with egg fried rice, they were pretty decent and made up for the poor starter, the chicken with garlic and peppers was the star of the selection and we both wished we ordered another. We did not bother with dessert as it was all milk based and they did not do sorbet separately which is a shame and did not feel there was much option apart from tinned lychee which for that price I could buy a tin and get more. Overall, 4 stars due to the overall service but loses a star for thr starter. Note: the toilet area seems to be going through some refurbishment which although no big issue,...

Do not come here if anyone in your group is GF or has any allergy or intolerance. Loads on the menu marked GF. Double checked with the waiter when ordering that my food was GF. I ordered the aromatic fish curry. When the fish arrived it turned out to be fried ( I assumed at the time that it was coated in cornflour or some other GF crust- big mistake). With hindsight pretty sure it was just very fine breadcrumbs and/or flour. I was very ill after, really sucked. 🥲

Afterwards I also realised that the other allergens listed were also totally wrong. Like my dish had peanuts sprinkled on top despite not having the nut or peanut symbol next to it on the menu (which they had put next to some other menu items). Nuts aren’t a problem for me, but could obviously be very serious if you have a nut allergy etc.

Don’t believe the allergens marked in the menu- they are not consistent with the food that comes out.

Don’t believe the staff -they clearly just tell you what you...

From the outside it looks basically quite pleasant, the menu looks quite diverse and the prices are very reasonable. However it's only when you sit down you realise something is slightly 'off'. It's difficult to put your finger on it initially, but slowly the little things start adding up. Is it Heart FM pumping out across the restaurant? Is it sellotape holding some of the chairs together? Is it the waiter wearing jeans and a t-shirt beneath his gold embroidered shirt? Whatever it is, it could have been a Chinese or Indian restaurant and you'd only be able to tell which it was by reading the menu. The food is good though. Reasonable portions and piping hot. But not really the Fragrant Thai experience I've enjoyed at other similar restaurants. Overall, the exterior was let down by a less than convincing interior atmosphere, which made the dining experience a...
