"What a lovely place. Think it was busier in it's hey day but then people are missing out on a great thing. Authentic, tasty, great portions of Thai cuisine. Think the house wine was strong as only managed 1.5 glasses but was merrier for it. Window seat taken. Watched the rain, my other halfs lovely face and people passing. A few popped heads in and asked for Wendy. She wasn't there so they passed by. Their total loss!! Once again, what a lovely place!! Top notch rating from me, even with the plastic table clothes"

"I have just had lunch at this pub after an absence of about 6 years and there used to be a fantastic Thai restaurant attached to this. I came in hoping to re live old experiences. The place was deserted and it was a Friday lunch time, that should have been a clue. OMG, what an appalling disappointment. The menu was pan Asian now and I ordered 'the Korean mixed fried rice '. They were basically trying to do a Korean bibimpap. A very simple dish to put together) What was offered was ridiculous meal put together by someone who clearly does not know how to cook. It was a bowl of 'boiled rice ' jasmine with some julienned carrot and 'cucumber ' placed on top, with some pre cooked prawns from the supermarket and a bit of Kimchi and a fried egg on top practically inedible , I left most of it and told them I was really disappointed and why , they didn 't disagree and were polite but did not offer any kind of refund. The total cost of my meal was just over ÂŁ15 with a small draft diet coke. terrible value for money for an almost inedible meal) avoid like the plague for the food."

"Was unsure of what to order and the staff were nice and recommended certain items on their menu. In the end, opted for the quesadillas, which were honestly the best I’ve had. The quesadillas came with tortilla chips and sour cream sauce with sauce el verde. The interior of the store was stunning and there was a good amount of seats in the seating area. Will definitely visit again to try out more of the menu."

"I would love for this review to be a 5 but unfortunately, I am unable to do that. Upon booking the table over a week before our visit I was told that the table would be ours for the evening because we were a large group. We were asked to pay a £10 deposit per person this was absolutely fine and we all paid well in advance. The table was booked for a hen/birthday party so we were all looking forward to a nice meal before heading out for the rest of the night. Unfortunately though, this didn’t happen. I had originally booked the table for 7:30pm, however on the day of the booking it was obvious to us that getting there for that time was going to be a struggle so I rang the restaurant and ask if it was okay for us to arrive for 8pm instead. The woman on the phone said this was absolutely fine and actually thanked me for letting them know well in advance. We all arrived just after 8pm (11 of us in total and were seated quickly. This is where everything began to go downhill… it was at least 10 20 minutes before our drinks order was taken and then a further 20 minutes before the waitress took our food order. A couple of people in our party ordered 2 4 1 cocktails and after waiting a further 20 minutes after everyone else’s drinks arrived the waitress came to tell us that they were waiting for the ingredients as the cocktails were coming from the bar next door. So by this time it’s about 9pm and the cocktails still haven’t arrived. So we asked the waitress where the drinks were and shortly after the cocktails arrived We did complain about this and was told that because of the long wait, the price of the cocktails would be taken off of the bill. I don’t think this would’ve happened though if we hadn’t made a fuss about how long it took. That was just the start… Finally after around 75 minutes of waiting, our starters finally arrive which tasted lovely. We then waited a further 30 minutes before we had to ask where our mains were and the waitress went to check. It’s now 10pm and we’ve been in the restaurant 2 hours! The waitress comes back and says it’ll be another 10 minutes. We all then collectively decided that we were going to leave it as we’d already missed another reservation we had and we were on a Hen Do! We were meant to be having dinner and going on a night out we’d had enough! A few minutes later, the waitress comes out and tells us (conveniently our food was ready; But by this time we were fed up and had decided to leave. Shortly after we told the waitress, “sorry, no thank you, we’re fed up” the owner(? comes out from the kitchen and demands we stay to eat the food. We apologise and explain that we’ve been waiting over two hours and we have decided we want to leave and as we had previously explained to the waitress that we had other plans for the evening. The woman then starts shouting at us and accusing us of being over an hour late to our reservation and demands the waitress gets the order receipt to prove herself right! When we said that this doesn’t prove anything because the waitress took ages to even take our order and that I had called to tell them we wanted to move our reservation to 8pm, she then says that we hadn’t paid our deposit and we couldn’t leave! She then was just arguing with different members of our party until we all just got up and left. We wasn’t rude to anyone and we just wanted a nice meal that wasn’t going to take an entire evening to arrive. They knew it was a hen party and that we were planning to be out afterwards and they just took the mick. Throughout the two hours there, we were polite and respectful the restaurant was so deadly quiet I don’t think anyone wanted to disturb anyone. The atmosphere was completely dead and felt awkward. So we all left the restaurant, hungry, disappointed and annoyed at the treatment we had received. It ruined the beginning of a night we had planned for 9 months and it’s just not okay. To be honest, if they had apologised and treated us differently, we probably would’ve stayed and enjoyed the food. If the restaurant cannot handle large bookings, they shouldn’t accept them. The Lek Thai lost a lot of money that night."

"Toro Noodles offers delicious food that I have enjoyed multiple times with family and friends. However, my visits have been less frequent due to a discouraging experience with one of the older staff members, who appears to be around 40 years old. This staff member consistently portrays a cold demeanor, never smiles, and barely acknowledges customers when spoken to. He particularly seems to exhibit disdain towards mothers with strollers, as he has indicated there is no room for them even when the restaurant is not busy. The lack of customer service and unpleasant attitude of this individual detracts from an otherwise enjoyable dining experience at Toro Noodles. It is perplexing why someone like him is employed at this establishment."

"After recently moving nearby, we decided to dine at a restaurant in Mae Khong recommended by a colleague. Our dinner experience was fantastic from start to finish. The servers were attentive, polite, and courteous, the prices were reasonable, and the food was exceptional. For starters, we had the crispy salt pepper squid and satay chicken, followed by the young curry and butterfly king prawn pad thai for our main course. Everything was delicious, and the pad thai reminded us of our time in Thailand. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant!"

"I went with my Friend who was visiting from London. To start with they got our searing preference wrong despite booming 2 weeks in advance. I had fish cakes as a starter which is the worst I've had to date. It was very rubbery. My friend did not like her Chicken satay starter it was very bland. Then I had the Green curry which looked new baby poo poo. It had nice coconut and very cream. I've been to numerous Thai restaurants over the years this by far the worst. My friend was able to ask for a discount which was granted. We were very disappointed. I would never venture there again. They really need to sake the chef! And invest in a proper Thai Chef."

"We stayed two nights upstairs at the Clerk and Well, and had a VERY mixed experience. We arrived a bit early and had lunch, with our luggage next to our table at the bar server 's direction . The staff seemed resigned to helping us, as if we were interrupting their day. Except for the manager, who was very very nice indeed. Lunch was pretty standard pub food and was quite good. When we went up to our room, we had to go outside, enter a separate door from the pub and go up 40 quite narrow and steep stairs. Luckily, the staff took our heavy luggage up. The room was quite nice fairly large for a London hotel and lots of outlets always crucial . BUT There were two of us. The breakfast supplied was: 1 yogurt, 1 muffin, 1 fruit cup, 1 milk, and 1 orange juice. We were told we could request more. There was no outlet in the bathroom except for a shaver, and our converters would not work in it. On the morning we left, I went downstairs at 9 AM to get some assistance with our luggage; I assume they had a lift in the back for such thing. Also, I wanted to check out. But the pub was closed and there was no help nor a number to contact, so our luggage went down the stairs like sleds. We have stayed in hotels and pubs all over England so we 're accustomed to the problems with old buildings narrow stairs, etc.. In short good food, good pub, nice room, mediocre service."

"This restaurant is a unique spot that offers Thai Asian street food that is fresh and healthy. The open kitchen takes up a large part of the space, allowing customers to see their food being prepared. The menu offers a variety of dishes, including tofu, vegetables, and rice. I tried the spicy box and the spicy potatoes, both of which were seasoned with a dry rub sauce that didn't quite hit the mark for me. The portion sizes were a bit small for the price, but the lunch menu was reasonably priced. While some Asian restaurants may use the health label as a gimmick to charge more, this restaurant focuses on cooking quality food. The biggest downside is the price, but overall it's worth a try."

"What a DISAPPOINTMENT! Been here a few times and the foods always be good! Must of been 10 plus times.. but the last time I went I was horrified The food wasn’t up to usual standards and the curry I ordered had little chicken and very very watery, I expressed my concerns to the waitress who was extremely rude and argued back with me and refused to take the curry from the bill. Worst Customer service I’ve ever received. She tried to say I had complained before which was absolute nonsense. I was happy to pay for my meal as I always do, but I wasn’t happy to pay for a curry I didn’t eat. She tried to tell me I had eaten the chicken, which I hadn’t. Very aggressive, rude and unpleasant. I’ve worked in customer service for years and I’ve never had someone be so rude. She shouldn’t be working as a waitress if she isn’t interested in hearing anything negative about the food. Also the rice portions are tiny compared to other Thai places in brighton. Think the waitress needs some lessons in providing a good service . Very rude. Would never go there again now."

"A friend recommended this place to us. We have been in search of a good thai place in Bournemouth. Upon entering we were welcomed by the good ambience of a small fish pond and a nice server. We put in our orders which is a green papaya salad and spring rolls. The spring rolls was okay, but the papaya salad was amazing. It had that heat that I’ve been looking for in asian dishes. My husband who is not fond of fish sauce slurped the sauce of it. And then I ordered Pad Thai for mains and he ordered the drunken noodles. First bite and we were mind blown. It was amazing!!! The flavor profile and the mouth feel was just spot on. And the prices were great too. 2 starters and 2 mains was for less than £40. This is our new favorite place in Bournemouth. This place is so underrated."

"Today two of my friends and I visited Puti and received excellent service marvellous food and homely atmosphere, hopefully the rest of the year is this good. This was my first visit it will not be the last. Visited almost a year later still a Quality Vegan restaurant, lovely staff and place. The food was delicious. Be back soon. Third visit last night with the Fat Vegetarian and the Bad Buddhist, absolutely wonderful food, excellent service, relaxing atmosphere, every time I visit I 'm not disappointed. If you have not visited and your a Vegan who likes Asian fusion food get in there yah Bam every one else give it a try. Updated from previous review on 2021-08-26"

"My partner and I use to go to this restaurant quite a lot before covid and always enjoyed ourselves, good food, drinks and the service. Not much has changed for us in that respects except now there was only one lady taking orders etc. There was about 10 people in the restaurant and she seemed to serve everyone in an orderly fashion, we didn't have to wait too long for the food to come and it was delicious, our main was great, I had the green Thai Curry, and my partner had the crispy seabass, excellent, we couldn't finish it all and took the rest home. We enquired as to how the business was going and she said it is now starting to pick up, they had 20 staff at one point but after Covid had to let them go. It made me sad to see the other bad reviews on here as this place is worth a visit, not sure what happened when those visits were made but our experience was great. Gave four stars because they weren't serving Cocktails, but this was easily fixed as there are two cocktail bars along Westow Hill."

"Can 't comment on the food because it was never delivered. Will comment on the disgusting service from Typedong.. The man at the restaurant Howard when asked if they would be stopping other deliveries requests from Just East being made said it was not their problem if other people did not get their ordered food too. Will never pay money to this restaurant again. I had wanted to support a local restaurant rather than a larger brand.. I now have try to claw back the money for an unfulfilled service fromt the delivery company. Merry Xmas Typedong. for your rubbish pre Xmas gift. Seriously unimpressed."
