• "When the food came, it was no better than the average Thai or Chinese takeaway."
• "The red squid curry sauce was too rich and the squid itself was dry and tasteless."
• "The menu had very limited choice on it to start with. And a note was put on the table saying there was 5 dishes not on the menu. Food was bland. No taste. Nothing Like Thai Food."
