Tom Yam Monton — Restaurant in Salford

Please do not waste your time, this place is abysmal.

Upon arriving, we were left to stand unattended in the entrance hallway, despite arriving exactly on time at 9pm, the time of which we specifically booked in for. After a period of waiting and despite visible empty tables, we were seated tightly between two other tables. Even though we specifically requested a table to the rear of the restaurant and having this confirmed over the phone, we were seated towards the front of the restaurant, which was draughty and rushed. We were left waiting for around 10 - 15 minutes before a member of staff arrived to take our drink order, however, instead of taking the order, we were advised 'can you move please, we need this table to push together into a six', as the nearby table of four had vacated. Again, this was despite there being other tables available to make a cover of six.

Once seated at the new table, the table was uneven and frustratingly moved back and forth. Instead of offering a seat move, the staff came to the table and placed bottle tops underneath, in the hope that it would balance it out, which didn’t work, and the problem persisted all evening.

The food arrived thereafter, which failed to live up to expectations. Firstly, the appetiser - a mixed starter - was cold, particularly the chicken satay, the rump steak strips were chewy, and only one pot of sauce was on the plate. The hot and sour soup tasted bland and had a solitary two king prawns in the whole dish. Furthermore, the main course arrived (beef in chilli oil and chicken in chilli oil) shortly followed, both of which were watery and contained minimal amounts of meat. Additionally, the chicken dish resembled and tasted more like sweet and sour and was indubitably the incorrect dish.

There are plenty more alternate options for half the price...

Really very disappointed with the food. We go to Thailand every year and have been about 15 times in total and love Thai Food. The restaurant is beautiful and really hits the Thai feels. The staff are mostly Thai which is wonderful and we would assume the chef was Thai.

However we where so disappointed with the food. Assuming the chef is Thai we where so disappointed. My husband had Thai Green Curry which tasted nothing like a Thai Green Curry we have ever tasted. I had Massaman Beef Curry and it was so sweet and sickly.

Considering it’s such a lovely restaurant we where so disappointed with the food. We’ve had a few friends who have gone and enjoyed it, but it just didn’t taste like the Thai food we are used to. Sadly we would never go again which is gutting as we absolutely love Thai food more than...

We were visiting family and wanted to grab a bite to eat in the area. It’s been quiet a few years since we have been to Monton & had a few eateries to choose from but my nephew suggested we try this spot and it didn’t disappoint the food was awesome both our dishes were jam packed with flavour and good portion sizes to I ordered Stir In Chilli Oil with a side of Jasmine rice & the hubby ordered Pad Thai Noodles with Chicken. We visited at lunch time & was pretty quiet so service was fast, the staff were very welcoming and the ambiance atmosphere was lovely love the black & Gold interior I would definitely recommend this Thai restaurant and next time we’re in the UK will...
