"My family and I had a wonderful meal at Red Torch Ginger last weekend. The staff was very nice and attentive, and the food was delicious and close to real Thai cuisine. We ordered many times take out from them, but the restaurant offers a bigger variety of meals when you dine in. We enjoyed the crispy duck and the pad thai noodles. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful, and the portions were generous. We also liked the cozy atmosphere of the place, and the prices were reasonable. Red Torch Ginger is one of the best restaurants in Maynooth."

"Terrible customer service. At 10:50, one of the waiters came to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. At 10:51 they brought us the bill and then at 10:52 they started taking the payment. They were basically kicking us out of the restaurant. I removed the service charge (which is optional), for the same and they then came and took the plates away when I was STILL eating. Disgraceful and extremely poor customer service. I do NOT recommend this place at all."

"After several successful visits over the last year or so, tonight was a disappointment and bordering on poor rather than average, so I am being generous with 3 stars. The food was tasty enough and the wine very drinkable. When we arrived the restaurant was full and despite reserving a table well in advance, we were given what must have been the worst table in the place. If it wasn't for the fact that we were hungry and were on a time limit we would have walked. The table was next to the toilet, opposite a store cupboard, had a view of a rubbish bin and was also next to the washing up room with clattering dishes all night. Service was surly to say the least, one waitress was OK the other was rude, dismissive and clearly didn't want to be there. Sadly, the overall experience tonight means that we won't return and will look next time towards Clapham Junction where we know there are some Thai restaurants that actually want your custom. I seriously considered removing the added automatic 12.5% service charge from the bill but couldn't be bothered with the hassle so just paid up and left. Disappointing in the extreme!"

"Considering there was only a max of 20 allowed to dine in, service was extremely poor. No cutlery on the tables, no direction on how to order as the couple next to us told us we had to go inside the restaurant to order. Staff were not great at providing a nice environment to sitting customers. Would not go back again."

"I have always wanted to visit this restaurant as we have been to Thailand many times and have taken cookery classes. The restaurant and welcome was very nice, clean, and cool, with a lovely setting. It was quiet, as expected, since we arrived quite early. The waitress who served us was okay, but did not seem very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which is my wife's allergy. We were surprised when she said that the red Thai curry may not be gluten-free. We asked if the crackers were gluten-free, and she went to check, but never mentioned it until I asked, which was not good service as it is difficult for my wife and felt like an inconvenience. The man who served us was very friendly, which was better. The food was hot and tasty, and we really enjoyed the fresh flavors of Thai cuisine. We are considering returning for the tapas menu or just for a drink. When we left, the Thai lady was very friendly and asked how everything was, and it was nice to say thank you in Thai as it is one of the few words we know. I would recommend this restaurant, but hope that the waiting staff will return with an answer if asked about availability."

"We had never been to this restaurant before and discovered it on Groupon. The greeting we received was very warm, and the food was generally good. However, my steak was nearly raw, and I couldn't even cut it with the steak knife, so I had to leave the meat uneaten. A person who appeared to be the manager came over and asked if everything was okay. I wanted to mention my issue with the undercooked steak, but before I could say anything, he turned and walked away, which we all found rather rude. I thought it was odd that he asked a question and then didn’t stick around for the answer. I'm concerned about this, especially since I had invited another group of family members to come. Aside from this issue, we did enjoy our dining experience."

"Went here for dinner, had been visiting Harrogate and looking for Thai food on our Friday night. We didn't have a table booked up we waited in the bar for 20 minutes and had a drink, and they managed to fit us in. This was hands down the best thai food we've had in the UK, all the dishes were fabulous. Me and my husband had Set Menu B, an amazing array of dishes. Loved the mixed starter, the massaman and pork belly were also favourites. Our friends had fish cakes for stater, and then pad thai and curry for main, also all great. Staff were really attentive and nice without being overbearing. And the food is great value for money too, with massive portions. We will definitely be going back when we're next in Harrogate."

"Unfortunately, I will no longer be ordering from Pandan Leaf as the prices on Deliveroo have become exorbitant. To have a small meal delivered for two people now costs ÂŁ40, and the portions are not worth the price. The serving of rice for ÂŁ4 was especially stingy, barely enough for one person, let alone two. Although I have been ordering from this restaurant for 8 years, the recent takeaways will be my last due to the lack of satisfaction and value for money. I understand that Deliveroo charges high fees to restaurants, but in this case, providing free prawn crackers for orders over ÂŁ30 or offering more generous portions of rice would be a good solution."

"the food was really good I had hot tom yum soup (hot) for starters it was lovely but very hot! Green Thai curry for main course.....I asked for medium.... I'm glad I did as the hot flavour of the soup was still hanging around. medium was very tasty. A beer for both of us. it cost ÂŁ73 which I thought was more expensive than any other Thai restaurant but I can't complain about the service and food. I will go again and try something different next time."

"We ordered a set menu for two priced at approx. ÂŁ25/head. Drinks are expensive ÂŁ7.50 for a Singha beer over ÂŁ9 for a glass of white wine Pinot Grigio). The starters were very greasy and the mains were OK but smothered in chillis, which is OK of you like a lot of heat. No waterbowls are provided and paper napkins are wholly inappropriate given the amount of oil on the starters. For the prices they charge, proper cloth napkins should be the norm. A 10% service charge automatically added at the end of the meal makes it very embarassing to ask to remove it. There are far better places to eat in the locality offering better value. We won't be going back and will not be recommending the Lime Leaf to friends."

"Excellent food but a curious staff attitude. Reserved a table on “Open Table” and arrived to a cold lifeless reception. The restaurant was not full but we were shown to an awkward table between the main traffic flow and a table of six guys in dirty work attire, thanks but no thanks we will have that nice romantic big table over there… much better! Do staff not think what does the customer want? Who wants to sit there? Good food well presented and tasty. Decent wine list. All hand sanitisers were empty and dirty. The toilets need a damn good cleaning. The whole place needs a revamp, poor lighting, no background music and it feels like a school dining room with pictures. We would return but only if no where else was available, previous reviews are much too generous in their comments and lack any critical review. We rated it 5/10, could do much better and be much happier."

"I want to start by saying that we have ordered takeaways from Mama Thai for over 4 years now. We used to live nearby and, despite sometimes inconsistent quality of food, we continued to order from them even after we moved further out. We've noticed over the years that the customer service has got increasingly worse. There is a sense of complete disinterest whenever they get an order wrong/it takes twice the time promised etc. Once, when I had to go all the way back and tell them one of the dishes was wrong, the manager (who I believe most of these issues stem from) when prompted, compensated me with 20p (no joke). On a recent order, one of the dishes didn't turn up, and when we rang to ask if they could sort this they palmed off any responsibility, and told us to sort it out with the delivery company, even though it was very clearly their mistake. Not only this, but the food on many occasions has become increasingly sub standard. After 4 years of loyal service, we are sad to write this review but feel others should at least be aware of how poor this place has become. We will no longer be ordering from Mama Thai."

"Although we never went there, I ordered the food from this restaurant a few times and must say that it is always a very tasty leak in our budget. we had hangover noodles, veggie platter with tempoura veg, edemame bohnen, see weeds and some knödel and a laksa bowl. since Thai food goes, this is a very decent offer on the restaurant map of fulham, eating is tasty, servings are decent, very well packed (for home delivery) everything is fresh, even if the prices seem a tad on a high end of the spectrum (2 main dishes and 2 startes they will be around £40-45) the only disadvantage that the food did not come to hot. we will definitely order from this place in the future, so I recommend it with a clean certain"

"so happy to have found during my week stay in london halal koreas eating! I ordered the tofu seafood jjigae and beef bibimbap for me and had the most amazing meal I am a fan of Korean cuisine and eating in kinkao korea could not taste more authentic, homemade and tasty. the chef is really generous with the part of the seafood in the stew and the bibimbap had all the highlights of a stone pot bibibap! the fluffy short-grain rice was coupled with crispy pieces of burned rice (like the species as it should be and the sauce was made in the house and had the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and sour. all the aromas of bibimbap came together harmoniously and it was the perfect antidote...read more"

"We ordered takeout from this restaurant and it arrived quickly. The food was delicious! They gave us a complimentary upgrade to fancier rice since they had run out of jasmine rice. The curries and pad Thai we ordered were excellent. We have no complaints, we are very satisfied and full."

"This was our first visit and we will be back. There are so many dishes we want to try. The food is fantastic, full of flavour, beautifully presented. The Tempura Prawns were beautiful, cooked perfectly with a crunchy batter coating. Thai Green Curry was very traditional with a nice balance of spice and flavour. Stir Fry was flavoursome and a good mix of chicken and vegetables. It was a very busy night with lots of delivery drivers collecting orders this is good as it shows how popular the restaurant is, but service in the restaurant was affected. It didn’t spoil our evening though."

"To put the scenario in context……..we have just returned from travelling overseas for my husbands 70th birthday holiday and I had promised him a Thai meal Thai food is a favourite of ours) when we returned…so I booked The Blue Orchid at the Verve hotel. We arrived and the place was absolutely empty. We were shown to the only table which had menus on it. We knew what we wanted as we had looked at the menu online earlier in the day. We ordered Set Menu A and two diet cokes and some prawn crackers. The starters arrived and after eating a few bits of battered vegetables, I managed to get the attention of the waitress and asked to see the menu again so we knew what we were eating, because I was pretty certain it said satay chicken and tiger prawns. The menu came back and I asked what we had been served because it had no resemblance to the menu description. The waitress apologised and said she had thought we had said Set Menu B …we said categorically not we had clearly said A. The waitress went to get her senior and we repeated the problem. The senior member of staff assured us we would get Set A main courses. The original waitress apologised again and I pointed out that menu A&B had the same starters and she said that the chef had misheard her and cooked menu D starters which were all vegetarian. She then asked which of the A starters we would still like. We agreed we’d like the tiger prawns and chicken satay served with the main course. Some time later the main course was delivered by the original waitress and her senior. I asked her senior where the main course tiger prawns were and what was the food on the table because once again it resembled nothing like what we had ordered. She said she would go and ask the chef and off she went. We divided the rice in half and ate the starter prawns and satay which were cold…at which point the other waitress disappeared….we waited a while for someone to return and then we started eating the duck and chicken. After a while I called out was someone going to come and talk to us about the food. The senior waitress and the original waitress returned and said they would make an adjustment to the bill. I said that wasn’t acceptable as we had deliberately chosen that menu to eat prawns and because it had no chilli. I asked to speak to the manager. When he arrived he went into a tirade saying he wouldn’t have his staff shouted at or spoken to the way we had spoken to them….we had been in normal voice and very polite, considering they had completely ruined my husbands birthday meal. The manager was shouting at us “did we want the meal removed and set meal A cooked for us yes or no “ he kept repeating “yes or no”. My husband, a quiet man, told him we wanted him to listen to our complaint and explain why we had been assured we would get Menu A after the starter mixup and we were still not served what we had ordered. The manager didn’t reply he constantly interrupted and spoke over us and I told him at least twice to stop being so rude to us both…he still kept shouting “Do you want this replaced with menu A, yes or no” We finally said no. I said, I no longer wanted to eat as I was very upset and I apologised to my husband for his disastrous 70th birthday meal. The manager said we needn’t pay for the meal….as if that made it OK. He then stormed off. I put £10 on the table to pay for our drinks and the prawn crackers which were the only thing we had which we had actually ordered. The waitress said we didn’t need to. But I left it there. As we went past reception I waited for the manager to finish booking 3 people in and told him I had left £10 to pay for the drinks and crackers, and that his behaviour was an absolute disgrace. We were absolutely amazed at this shameful behaviour of the manager. The waitresses had had polite and civil conversation and we had been polite in return..if telling someone that it was unacceptable to continuously serve food completely different from what has been ordered is being rude, I wonder how one can convey the situation to the staff…neither me or my husband shouted or raised our voices but the manager didn’t even ask us what the problem was he just steamed into us…..this establishment doesn’t deserve to be in business if this is how it’s managed…it’s no wonder it was completely empty in its restaurant. I can honestly say we will never be going again neither will any of our family or friends."

"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."
