The restaurant was not open, despite taking our booking and me confirming we were coming the day before when confirmation was requested. We had to find somewhere else with a table for four on a busy Saturday night. I should never have been able to make an online booking, and if the restaurant closed after I made the reservation, I should have been informed and certainly not asked to confirm attendance the day before. I am assuming there are plenty of other people who have also unwittingly made bookings and turned up to find the place shut.

Restaurant was very quiet, although we did go early on in the evening so this can't always be helped. Menu is quiet hard to understand and after ordering our starters, the wrong one came out. This happens at restaurants and I am understanding of this but the waitress then came back to tell me the item they had brought out was the one I order whilst reading the menu to me. I explained how it wasn't correct (Cola Wings were being served instead of Thai-Till) to which she proceeded to laugh whilst looking back at the kitchen. Rest of the food was okay and the Thai Green had a nice kick to it. Overall it was okay, but there are other places I would visit over this.

Dear diner, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We acknowledge your point and are continuously striving to create a more vibrant atmosphere for our guests, especially during these quieter periods. We apologize for the confusion with the menu. The miscommunication between our front-of-house & kitchen teams is something we take very seriously, and we are addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again. We are deeply sorry if any expressions from our staff came across as insensitive or unprofessional. Please know that this does not reflect the level of service and hospitality we aim to deliver. We truly value your patronage, and we would be honoured to have the opportunity to make it up to you. Thank you once again for your feedback. Respectyfully, CC Team

Food was nice and tasty, however service was slow. Also charging £2 to change from rice to chips is a bit of a joke. Surely rice is cheaper than chips!?
Bangkok Bistro by 9EResponded on February 18, 2024
Dear diner, Thank you for dining with us and for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our slow service this can sometimes happen when orders come in together unexpectedly at the same time or when we have many large tables in the restaurant. Regarding the £2 charge for changing to chips, we charge this supplementary fee for switching from chips to rice, not the other way around, which is less common. We apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding. We hope to welcome you back soon for an improved experience. Respectfully, Culinary Cities Team

The menu has changed significantly since my last visit and is more thai fusion than the choice of dishes I was expecting, which I have to admit was a bit disappointing. Starters were really lovely, highlight of mains was pad thai. Service was warm and friendly, the right side of attentive, and I like the open kitchen. Our table was very close to an external door where drinks were coming from, which they acknowledged from the off. Only due to the time of year was it a bit drafty. In the warmer months I wouldn’t be bothered. My main reason to return would be the fab staff, and I’ll be interested to see how the new approach to the menu, which is quite unusual, establishes itself over time. Worth a visit especially if visiting the Storyhouse or Alexander’s.

Nice place the dishes we chose were a little rich and came with chips and would have been better with rice. The starters were excellent the service was great and the restaurant is a nice place to be
