Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "The spicy dishes can be very hot! All dishes are well presented."
  • "Food was brilliant too, I really liked the Cashew Stir fry."
  • "Food was 10/10, had the veggie starter platter, then I had the crab fried rice, 10/10."
  • "The Papaya salad was perfect and as yummy I remember it being in Thailand."
  • "One of the best chain restaurants in London. The menu is extensive and caters for all."
  • "First time at Rosa's and wow, we were blown away. The food (Pad Thai and Vermicelli for us this time) was nothing short of amazing."
  • "amazing flavors, fantastic food."
  • "The food at Rosa’s is fine, nothing too special but our meal tasted good overall."

Cons:

  • "Chicken satay - really dry and tough. Not fresh! Took one bite and left it."
  • "Aubergine stir fry - star dish of the night. Lovely and fresh."
  • "Pad krapow - Asked for the minced chicken, but got chicken breast/thigh instead. Would’ve been fine but the chicken was tough and the sauce salty."
  • "I ordered the signature G&T (with ginger, lemon, coriander) and it was literally just a G&T with lime wedge."
  • "The starters weren’t good either, we got a platter. The only edible thing that was really good was the lychee bubble tea thing."
  • "Food wasn’t good in my opinion. I had sweet and sour chicken and it was like they coated chicken nuggets in a can bought sauce."
  • "The dish pictured (sweet and sour chicken) was £12 and didn’t even come with rice or noodles! Literally about 5 small pieces of overly battered soggy chicken."
  • "I had sweet and sour chicken and it was like they coated chicken nuggets in a can bought sauce. Very disappointed as I love Asian food but this was definitely one of the worst."

Service Quality

Pros:

  • "Really enjoyed our lunch at Rosa. J was super friendly and was super on the service front."
  • "Our waiter (2 cross earrings) was v good vibes, tho didn’t know much about the menu but maybe he was new."
  • "In terms of service it's been a fair while since we've had such a good treatment in London."
  • "I had a nice meal here, better than expected. Service was good and quick enough."
  • "Visited Rosa Thai with my family on Saturday afternoon around 3 pm and we had a great experience! Service was fast, the waitress was very accommodating."
  • "Fantastic service (thanks to manager named Sushi, she was fantastic), fresh and tasty food."
  • "Great experience at two steps from king cross. Food is just amazing and Ivan made the lunch special with a super tasty pork vermicelli cooked in literally 5 minutes!"
  • "First time going as fancied pad thai and was not disappointed. Maria our server was nice and friendly."

Cons:

  • "Whilst the service was good, the food was not at all good."
  • "Only downside was I ordered the signature G&T and it was literally just a G&T with lime wedge."
  • "Service was okay but not exceptional. I sat outside and often felt the (4) outside (2) top tables were neglected when the inside got busy."
  • "We had reserved a table for 7:15 pm, we arrived and our table was not ready so we had to wait another 10 minutes."
  • "We ordered drinks and prawn crackers that took 30 minutes to come. Then, we ordered starters and mains but the mains came out before starters arrived."
  • "We waited for nearly half an hour for the starter then an hour for the main. No updates or apology from wait staff."
  • "We had to wait about 15 minutes to have our drink order taken. Our drinks then took a while to make."
  • "Food was good but 50 mins wait for starters, 40 extra for mains and being told after waiting 30 mins for your starter that some thing you ordered isn't available just isn't great."

Cons:

  • "I must say, there wasn't much food there for the price, we ended up having to order more rice and sides."
  • "The dish pictured (sweet and sour chicken) was £12 and didn’t even come with rice or noodles! Literally about 5 small pieces of overly battered soggy chicken."

  • "The food at Rosa’s is fine, nothing too special but our meal tasted good overall. It is the service that means we would never go back."
  • "The food wasn’t good in my opinion. I had sweet and sour chicken and it was like they coated chicken nuggets in a can bought sauce."

  • "I had sweet and sour chicken and it was like they coated chicken nuggets in a can bought sauce. Very disappointed as I love Asian food but this was definitely one of the worst."
