"I’ve been to this establishment twice now. I am new to the area and decided to search for a local Thai near me, I stumbled across The King Thai and I am glad with the decision I made. The service was very good, and the restaurant was immaculately clean. There is a good choice of local drinks on the menu as well as good food options not a huge amount on the menu however to my mind this is a good sign that everything is cooked fresh I must also add they do not cook with any MSG or preservatives. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wether you are looking for a quick lunch or an evening meal. Will definitely be a regular customer here now.

"A very hearty serving of beautifully tender, melt-in-the-mouth roast beef. Came served over a bed of cabbage and peas and drenched in a delicious flavoursome gravy. Accompanied by a bowl of crispy-on-the-outside yet-fluffy-in-the-middle roast potatoes and carrots AND a bowl of creamy cauliflower cheese. I washed it down with a gorgeous glass of Malbec. I' would have opted for the Guinness chocolate brownie pudding but I was stuffed!! Next time definitely....."

"what a great little supplement to the greenwich food scene. Actually, it is not so little, but it is really great, especially considering how central it is to the tourist scene in greenwich. it's expensive, don't get me wrong. if they are planning to come here, they make it for a Friday night, for a party, for a start. Do not do what we have done, what appeared on a Monday night, just because we happen to have no food in the refrigerator, the kind of feeling just do not do it just justice. the place has a funky and hip feel about it. also the menus look cool and stylish. they have a great drink choice also for the non-drinker among us and know that I had a naughty week of eating ahead, I went for the healthy and durst quenching gurken juice. the menu is a bit overwhelming when they first visit, although they come with some helpful set menus when they are stuck to choose. we only need to order our menus for almost 20 minutes indecisively on what to eat. there re the sushi options and then there are the sticks. Each stick costs a lot for the size, but they have a large number of choices. I had a teriyaki lachsstock and delicious scallops in a crispy. the spicy edamame and absolutely divine cauliflower with black truffle sauce delivered our sweet for the evening and I could fortunately have eaten nothing except this cauliflower all night here. my man then chose one of the salads for a little more filling with huh and duck while I chose the nebel cod rolls. pleasantly full, we should have stopped there, but we were too tempted to order as desserts, in smll bites and as many or as few as they would like to order. we went for the black sesameis, a delicious chocolate fondant and 2 small chocolates including one covered with sesame seeds. if they 're feeling vey indulgent, they even order a box with all desserts included, but we'll have to save this for another time. this would be a great restaurant for a birthday, for a fun night with friends or for a little occasion. it is a little expensive in comparison to some of the neighboring sushi restaurants that are also very much to wish but it has a bit more novelty. if after a quick fix for a sushi gift or a light mid-week meal, these other decisions could be better suited, but for something special and unique, this is definitely worth a try and a very welcome supplement to greenwich."

"My friends and I came to the crown for a drink, we ordered our 3 drinks with the waitress and waited for them to arrive. After waiting 45 minutes we went to the bar and politely asked if they would be coming out soon to...which we were told we already had the drinks. After letting them know we didn’t the bar staff confirmed our table number and said they’d be right out, the wrong drinks came out so we confirmed the drinks we ordered, the gentleman went back inside and came out again and said ‘you ordered these drinks so you have to pay for them’ we reminded him of the drinks we ordered and asked if they could come out and we’d pay for them, he said ‘you’ll need to pay for all 6 drinks’ even though we didn’t order 3 of them. We went inside to the lady behind the bar and confirmed the drinks we wanted again and that we would only be paying for the 3 we ordered, as we turned around the land lady muttered f off under the breath. We asked her if that was what she said and she said ‘ p off we never asked you to pay for the drinks you didn’t order, it’s 3 against 1 you can’t prove that’ she continued to swear at us. I am utterly shocked that we would be treated like this by the land lady of the pub, they are utterly unprofessional and rude to customers. I will never go back"

"If you're a follower of my posts, you know I'm not afraid to travel for a good meal London is my menu and I fully intended to taste everything on it but as the saying goes, there's no place like home and the comforts of your favourite local. We all have one; a favourite cafe, restaurant or more commonly, a pub. My happy place is The Dolphin located at the foot of Sydenham high street a real find in an area which is in the midst of a gentrification takeover. It basically has everything a boy could ask for; a good selection of beers (bottled and on tap , wine and also some pretty top notch food. In the winter, it's warm and welcoming providing some much needed relief from the bitter cold but a switch in the season affords you the opportunity to enjoy its sizeable beer garden which is one of the best I’ve seen in my 6 years of pub crawling (and I have done a lot of crawling... . Were this pub located more centrally to the City, I've no doubt it'd get much more attention but as it is, I will happily let this little gem of the south be and just sit back in bliss and enjoy watching time pass me by.

"update april 2022 since my first review already often. Her hearty Vietnamese dishes are great, I had some of the tofus. they also enjoy more puddings, including various fruit crumbs/bakers, the Empire Biscuit, and today an amazing skyberry and coconut tea on a short bread basis, with vegan ice. yum. original review first time in pumpernickel, as I heard it had gone completely vegetarian and vegan. they have kept their usual menu, but all the options are vegetarian/vegan (zb veggie ham, bacon' etc.) one of the owners is vietnamesian and so we have tried these hot rolls, and two different tofuss all fabulous! they came with roasted rice and salate and dipping sauce. it was obviously busy, we went around 2 o'clock and only a few tables were left, but then it was still. the board had the specials on, all sound great and are good. only two suggestions label, the dishes are vegan or vegan (i.e. some of the noodles are not suitable), and maybe have a few vegan cakes. (they had a big cake ad, but currently not vegan we are going back. the update was returned at the beginning of October 2021. tried the crepes (nice! hearty minze' and bohnenprouts inside) and friend had the Thai veg burger, also good. Apple crumbcake. friend had taken along before and had vegan skyberry cake. was busy fri 12-2, but other days in the week are quieter. updated by previous review on 2022-04-30"

"Have previously dined at the Hinds Head which was impeccable from arrival to the end, staff were wonderful and knowledgeable and food was divine. The Crown sadly does not have the same standards. On arrival table was not ready which was fine, waited at the bar and then seated. Staff weren’t overly attentive, very chatty amongst themselves behind the bar. After being seated the service was very slow, we felt like we had been forgotten. It took 30 minutes to take the drinks order after my husband had to prompt staff. We ordered our food whilst the staff were at the table. Bread and whipped butter was delicious, fish cakes very average, heavy on potato lacked seasoning, aioli accompaniment was excellent. Beef blade main, meat was well cooked, fell apart, carrots too al dente, dumpling was raw and just lacked dept of flavour, the whole dish was under seasoned and arrived almost cold. My husband enjoyed his barvette beef and roast potatoes though we had to ask for the garlic butter which was forgotten. Dessert sticky toffee pudding overly sickly sweet and vanilla ice cream grainy and lacking flavour. My husband ice cream trio had the same issues of grainy texture and lacking flavour . Both desserts were inedible , a cartmel sticky toffee pudding and laverstock farm ice cream would have been a better substitute. Throughout dinner, the staff were less than attentive, lacking knowledge and busier chatting between themselves. Do not be fooled by the allure of Heston, he’s obviously too busy to be consider the standards of his no starred pubs! Sell it to someone local with a desire for it to do well!"

"We went for a ‘special occasion’ at the start of March. There appears to be two evening sittings 6pm and 8pm … and even this early in the season the 6pm sitting was really busy .. So book early !! The service was great very attentive and not pushing at all. They do not provide drinks with the service but guess what ? You can take your own and they will see be you with glasses and ice at no charge! The food was marvellous and we had ours on a hot platter and cooked the meat ourselves Overall a very pleasant evening thank you !"

"Within stones throw from the Hilton, we were surprised to be able to get a table without reservation Decor is snazzy from the outside and is matched from the inside Plenty of seating without making you feel crowded Staff were friendly and efficient An impressive line up of both well known and familiar Thai dishes, as well as those you wouldn’t typically expect a good variety on the menu to choose from Starter selections were the chicken satay, salt and pepper squid and tom yum soup The satay was spot on, chicken just a tad bit dry Squid was too chewy for my preference And the soup could’ve done with being a ton more spicier preferably clear base too Pad Thai was the selected mains for all with King Prawns and Pork Belly as the option All went down well Could’ve done with having the traditional strong chilli oil on the side tho Not sure if Leeds locals are a tad soft on being able to handle their heat "

"I wish that I could give it a 0; unbelievable how my husband and I were treated yesterday. We went to the restaurant for dinner. We drove from Kent, and I wanted to introduce him to your establishment which was empty. The waiter printed the page with the qr code and placed it on the table. My husband asked if we could have a regular menu, and he replied no. He said that the standard menu is a past thing and will no longer be available for environmental reasons of saving paper. We believe this a double standard as paper was used to print the code, which is then presumably disposed of, as opposed to a (laminated? sheet that only needs be changed with the menu. My husband joked that I had suggested leaving because of the reluctance to have a proper menu and the waiter asked us to do so. 2 specific aspects I would like to point out, 1 my husband has a degree in environment pollution and is quite obsessive about general recycling and waste reduction. He was also lost for words for about an hour about how we were treated. What would have been the response to someone who doesn’t carry a mobile device, yes they do exist and they are not the only sector of the population you are currently alienating."

"I don’t like to leave bad reviews but tbh I’ve never been to places like this, where waitress just came to the table and ask if she could remove the plate. It is true that I just finished my dish, but it’s merely after 1 minute that I put down my chopsticks. At least let customers sit for a bit to let food digest? I know the restaurant is busy, but this is not a fast food place. It is a RESTAURANT. To be polite I didn’t ask to take out the service charge. But will never come again or recommend to my friend. Food actually tastes not bad. Especially crispy imperial roll. Thank you chef."

"Absolutely brilliant restaurant in the middle of Blackpool. I was part of a group of play workers looking after children with additional needs. The staff were both friendly and enormously accommodating. Today I had a Caesar salad. The salad portion was huge, crispy and fresh! The chicken was warm and juicy! Thoroughly delicious in every way. Thank you! Special mention to Georgia, who organised all of the food and drinks smoothly and in ultra fast time! Highly recommended!"

"Disappointing return to this excellent pub for a Sunday roast based on good previous experiences. Waited almost 75 minutes for a roast dinner on a Sunday and when it arrived the meal was extremely salty. Two choices of roast :beef or lamb and apparently it never changes. Tip for them, introduce pork or chicken as well and let the customers know when they arrive. there that there is going to be a long delay . When you’re hungry, it’s far too long. Also the lamb was shredded in some sort of some sort of piquant sauce swamping the flavour of the meat when we were expecting some nice slices of tender lamb. Brought my daughter and partner for the first time and although the staff dealt with the complaint courteously and discounted the bill we left feeling very underwhelmed."

"Came for a twilight Spa on a Tuesday night. We were initially booked for March but due to lockdown we had postpone it. We had a 2 course meal in the ozone restaurant included in this. We were booked in for 6pm but arrived to the restaurant early which wasn't a problem. We got seated quickly and had our order taken fairly quickly too as it was extremely quiet in the restaurant. We had an option of either starter and main or main and dessert, we both went for the dessert option. Food arrived quickly and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions for the mains were huge which is always a bonus!! I had the beef pad Thai followed by the cherry bakewell cheesecake. My mam for the chicken terriaki stir fry with rice and the sticky Toffee pudding. Although it was lovely, we would only come again if it was included in a spa day as we both thought the prices were extremely expensive if you were going for the meal alone."

"It is a 5-minute walk from Oxford Road. The store has a hot pot area and a barbecue area. The barbecue area is on the second floor. The environment is ordinary and not particularly high-end. The waiters are enthusiastic and there are many locations. You can choose 26 all-you-can-eat or a la carte for meals. It is recommended. The all-you-can-eat option is not too expensive and there are many varieties to choose from. The important thing is that everything is delicious, whether it is sliced meat, skewers or seafood, and the serving speed is not too slow, but there will be a service charge in the end. It is recommended that you make a reservation before coming, but you will need to fill in your card number before making a reservation to prevent you from not showing up. If you cancel too late or do not show up, you will still be charged."

"Having booked before reading the reviews we were a little concerned. We had 3 adult Sunday roast and 1 child’s with a side of cauliflower cheese we had two cokes and 2 Guinness the cost was £95+ incl. service we didn’t notice they had added until after we had paid. The meals were ok nothing to write home about and def not worth the money. The beef that my son and hubby ordered was very chewy and having seen the previous review we should have avoided. You get two small slices of meat very stingy considering the cost and they forgot the crackling for the pork meal that we had to ask for which was rectified. Staff seemed busy a bit inexperience but pleasant. The food was edible apart from the beef but I find it so hard to comprehend why restaurants find it so difficult to add flavour to their meals. The crackling was the most tasty bit but we only got that because we asked for it. The most shocking though was that a pint of Guinness was £6.55 per pint the only time we pay that is in a hotel or London. Two cokes came to £7.10 at £3.55 each which was on the flat side but I like flat coke so didn’t mind. Overall it was average, thus the cost in our view was unjustified. Needless to say we will not be returning any time soon. Service: 4 Location: 3"

"The service was awful. The waitress spilled a pot of chocolate on one of us, then spent time on her phone and dealing with her sweater. When she finally returned, she knocked over another pot of chocolate next to me, which ended up on an iPad and two dumbbells. She appeared quite unfazed by the situation and just brought more napkins before leaving. To top it off, our dessert was delivered to the wrong table. Overall, it wasn't a great experience."

"We decided to opt for a starter from the daily specials – grilled chicken wings with burnt soy and leeks £8.20). If you’re a chicken wing lover then you’ll love this dish! The skin was nice and crispy, yet the chicken wing meat was juicy and tender. The burnt soy tasted similar to teriyaki – so a bit of a sticky soy sauce with a subtle sweetness. Saba Udon smoked mackerel with green leaves – £10.70). The smokey, salty mackerel paired up with thick silky udon noodles was amazing. The mackerel had also been slightly grilled, so it was crispy on the outside but still moist inside. It was also refreshing to have a simple clear broth. Buta Miso pork and miso – £9.90)....read more"

"We had a mixed visit this time. Myself and my daughter come here when we can. We had two slight negative situations happen. I get them out the way first. I have a fish allergy, so as always the manager came to take my order however another staff member had taken my daughters order. We both ordered the same Chicken gyoza and ginger +chicken udon noodles. My daughter 's food came first and my came a bit later. (This is normal practice especially as the chef has to clean everything to cook my food! As my daughter started to eat she noticed her Udon meal had a shrimp in it. (There are 2 Udon noodle meals on the menu, one with chicken and shrimp the other with just chicken The manager came over and took the meal away and got the chef to cook another Udon meal. Not the best, however the situation was handled well by the manager. The second negative was more of a technical one. When you get seated you get told your table number and shown a QR code which takes you to an app to pay.So to you don 't have to wait to catch a staff member. At the end, I went to pay and entered my table No but someone 's else 's food order came up. I tried a couple of times but in the end we had to get a staff member so we could pay. No idea what happened there! Now the positives. Waga:s is our favourite Dad+daughter day out. We love the food and love the O2 venu. The food (when it 's right is the best and comes freshly cooked. The Gyoza 's are our go to 'starter ' with the Udon noodle Ginger chicken as a main. It didn 't disappoint this time. So fresh and piping hot. The female manager (sorry,didn 't catch your name was a delight and extremely polite. Even when I started waffling on about my fish allergy the female manager was polite and attentive. The other members of staff who served us were also polite. All in all a good lunch even with the slight hiccups. The four stars is because of the order mix up!"
