Very disappointed, ordered a pad thai and penang curry, I had to ask them to change the penang because the sauce was a very cheap jarred curry sauce that they tried to disguise as penang with added spices etc. As soon as I saw it I knew it wasnt a penang, I judge every thai by their penang first because I know it soo well! They swapped it for something I didn't actually ask for, probably because it was also used with cheap ingredients. The pad thai was OK but not the best, I've had better for 10p in an alley way in Bangkok which the owners should be ashamed of. They put on a front of caring but you can tell they just think we're all stupid (some are unfortunately) English people and take advantage. Asked how I enjoyed the meal while paying and I told them it was poor and and cheap ingredients, the old fella looked down with embarrassment and said "everything soo expensive these days", I completely understand that but you charged me £35 for two cheap dishes and a pint (which I think wasn't even cobra, probs a cheap beer too), they've lost a customer and probably more, if they stayed true to their origins and served actual decent thai food for a good price the place might actually be full more often and they'd be a successful business. I say this because I want them to be better and I hope...
Read moreAfter we had all ordered a table platter arrived. I hadn’t ordered it but I assumed someone else at the table had. We started to eat, and then about halfway through the head waiter stopped by and said that the platter had been for another table, and they had delivered it to our table by mistake. He asked us to pay for it which we agreed to do. Mistakes happen. It became a little bit of a concern when I never saw another table get served with that same platter. How could it have gone to the wrong table, if no other table then got served that same platter? I gave it very little thought at the time. Then the bill showed up. The platter was the most expensive thing on the bill. It was twice as much as any other item on the bill at £26.95. Also, remember, this was there mistake and they admitted to that, but never offered a discount on the platter for putting us in that situation. That said, we had agreed to pay for it; so we did. Now I’m not saying this is very definitely a scam. However I wanted to put this up here, to alert people to that “possibility”. Should this situation ever occur again you can deal with it as you see fit. ...
Read moreAlways a firm favourite with our family! My kids love the Thai traditional chicken on a stick (satay) with rice, sculpted vegetables and sweet sauce. And especially the trip afterwards to choose their ice cream deserts! My wife and I generally have, sea bass, som tum when available fresh, and something like pad kra pao extra spicy for me (pet pet). I don't speak Thai so I'm writing it as it sounds to me. If it's in season I'd take the Mango sticky rice for pudding. Or the green pandan leaf pancake with coconut sorbet if not.
As far as price goes it's normal price for a Thai restaurant in the UK - mains average around £14.00 but some are more. The overall cost obviously depends on what you drink mainly. The wine list - if you want to order by the bottle - isn't overpriced, for example we had a bottle (or two) of Chablis tonight, £39 a bottle for decent Chablis is only a 2x markup which is less than the average...
