"Such a shame about this place as the food really is very good, the corn fritter starter and red and green curries are real highlights, with more heat and overall depth of flavour than what you can expect outside of real high end thai restaurants such as Patara, but unfortunately the shocking attitude, ineptness and plain rudeness of the staff let 's down the whole affair.The first time we went we started by ordering a bottle of wine which went something like this:Myself: Could we have a bottle of the sauvignon blanc please? Waitress: We don 't have any. Myself: Oh ok, do you recommend any of the rest on the list Waitress We only have the house wine Myself Oh? So out of the list of white wine 's you just gave me you only have 1? Waitress We have red wine Myself Yes but you only have 1 white wine in the whole restaurant out of a list of about 15? Waitress let me check.... After disappearing for over 5 minutes the waitress came back with a bottle of the Sauvignon blanc I had asked for in the first place and said We do have this . She then left it on our table (without anything to keep it cold) and walked off again so we poured it ourselves.Once this wine ran out, I asked if they had any more but was told it was the last bottle they had so went for the house white wine. When this arrived it turned out to be a different sauvignon blanc (cheaper and actually much better than the first one) so it was very strange that we hadn 't been advised the house was a Sauvignon Blanc when ordering the first bottle to begin with.When it came to ordering the food we had a few other items we wanted to order only to be told they did not have any...We should have taken the warning signs from these shaky exchanges with the staff and not returned but the food was good enough to make us crave it and want to go back for the corn fritters the next week.So, upon our return, after waiting about 10 minutes to be seated we decided to order some of the house wine. Conversation:My girlfriend Could we order a bottle of the house white please? Waitress Yes Myself Is it a Sauvignon Blanc? Waitress Yes Myself Excellent! When it was brought over to our table I had to call the waitress back and ask her to bring something to keep the wine cold.Another exchange on this second visit with a different waitress worth recapping went like this:Myself Excuse me, we ordered our main courses about 40 minutes ago, do you have an idea on when they might be ready? Waitress I don 't know, it 's only my first day Myself Does that mean you 're not allowed to speak to the kitchen? Waitress Sorry what? Myself: I don 't see how it being your first day affects you finding out how long our food will be? Waitress Let me go and talk to someone The waitress then came back holding a bowl of something that I couldn 't identify as she was stood up holding it above my head.Waitress: Is this it? Myself: I don 't know, what is that? At the point the other waitress came over and grabbed the bowl from her and took it over to another table. Our food arrived about 10 minute later.After getting through 2 bottles of wine, 2 courses of good tasting, well executed thai cuisine and a few more embarrassing exchanges with both waitresses, we were presented with our bill. Straight away we noticed that we were being charged not for the house white wine, but for the sauvignon blanc from the wine list which was over double the price. I called the waitress over and explained that we had ordered the house wine so this was a mistake but she insisted that they had brought us the more expensive sauvignon blanc. I explained that whilst that may be the case, we had quite clearly ordered the house white wine (another sauvignon blanc) and it 's not out fault if they had misunderstood the order. After disappearing for 5 minutes the waitress came back and asked if we could meet them half way and pay for one of each. Almost unbelievable. Naturally we refused to do this and paid for what we had ordered.All Petch Sayam would need to do to completely turn the place around would be to put on some nice quiet music, get rid of the two waitresses and employ some front of house staff who actually care a bit about what they 're doing, then they would be on to a real winner as the food really is very good. Sadly until these things do get addressed I will not be returning."

Been there twice now. Absolutely delicious food but literally takes 1 and half hours to get to you. Other tables around us were experiencing the same thing.

Had a family meal for 3 on Saturday night. Got a few dishes including vegetable tempura to start and I had a lovely massaman curry. Portions were very generous, lovely tasting Thai food and will be coming back hear again. Will possibly go back and eat in as currently has a bring your own alcohol policy so great value.

Had a takeaway from here. Really expensive for the quality. The menu is very limited. No massaman beef so opted for another beef dish. Received a few strips of gristly beef with a small portion of salad costing £12! The fish dish was nice but again expensive at £14. The wait was very long, over an hour. Would not use again.

Our dishes were enjoyable and all food appears to be freshly produced. I'm sorry to say that the service is chaotic in a slightly haphazard way but charming with it . The decor is psychedelic kitsch, like a trip to your Thai granny and I think it could all do with a good dusting. However despite the wait the food is very good quality. Last time I ate a green curry this good was on the banks of the Nan river so it feels very natural and home produced

Have been here many times as live in E11 and love Thai food and have 'mystery dined ' there a number of times and deliberately been demanding and had the most chilled out and pleasant response to that. It 's not the Ritz but that 's the point...it 's Thai in east London. Putting aside that the food is very good and reasonably priced, Our repeated experience would suggest a visit might be enjoyable...though please don 't go there to be a 'mystery diner ' pain!

I visited this restaurant on a Sunday night and it took them nearly 2 hours to bring us the incorrect dish. We complained, but were hesitant to ask for a correction as we feared another long wait. The same slow service was experienced with our drinks, which were brought out one by one after multiple reminders. The decor was not to my liking, and the tables were sticky and dirty. Unless they improve their service, I would recommend avoiding this restaurant and trying another option on the high street.

A few years ago, this restaurant was known for its excellent food and service. I have been back a number of times hoping for the same experience, but unfortunately, it seems that things have changed. On a recent visit, despite the restaurant being fairly quiet, it took the waitress 15 minutes to take our drink order. The complimentary prawn crackers were not fresh, and it took another 10 minutes for the sweet chilli sauce to arrive. While the starters were good, it took over an hour for my main course to be served, and it was cold due to the restaurant's cool temperature. The service was lacking, with waitresses more focused on their phones in the back than on attending to the customers. Ove...

After I saw many bad reviews this restaurant got, I decided to leave mine and I rated it with the maximum i could. I have been in there few times already and it never failed my expectations. In fact I got to eat amazing food for an incredible low price. If I wanted to go to a fancy restaurant I would not choose this one. And if you pretend to find it fancy when its not, then don't complain. its your fault not the restaurant fault. This restaurant has is own dignity and it is clean. Got to a michelin star restaurant if you want to be surrounded by luxury furniture. For the down to earth others I suggest seafood and beef, they are delicious. For the highly expectation people with lack of respe...

The food was lovely BUT the room was freezing cold. Two inefficient fan heaters sat on chairs was the only heating and delivery men were going in and out. I and many other people ate in my thick jumper and coat. There was just one girl serving and one on takeaway. She was nice enough but a bit forgetful. We had to ask for things several times. Gave up on the plates and ate the whole meal on small starter plates. It wasn’t her fault really, they were understaffed. The worse point was the very very very slow and piecemeal way the food was served. Mixed starter came and waitress said she’d brought it without the fish element as we had been waiting so long already. Twenty minutes later three pra...
