Silom Thai

A couple of days ago, me and my husband went there with our one year old son. In order to keep him entertained while we were waiting for our order to arrive, we let him play with the spoons kept on the table. Once in a while our kid was dropping the spoons down as a part of his play and I had to pick them up and give it back to him (failure to do that would have upset him). The waiter there was extremely rude and told us to stop making noise. When we tried to explain him about our son being just a typical one year old who needs to be entertained while mummy and daddy are waiting for food to arrive, he told us that as parents we should be controlling his behaviour. ( I mean my child was not even misbehaving or creating a havoc)

And as if that's exactly what we wanted - a big dollop of advice from a waiter who god only knows whether he has any experience in parenting. Anyway, we found it extremely rude when he advised us on parenting. It's not that our child was making a lot of noise and that other customers were complaining. So I would strongly advise you to not go to SIlom Village if you have a toddler.

We eat here often and love the food, the service is basic, but i'm not fussy as the food arrives hot and in under 15 mins everytime, the Salmon with roasted chillies is a must when visiting!

I do think that the service charge is a little bit cheeky especially when we eat here twice a week, we would leave a tip once a week and they would maybe get more than what they charge us! i like to make my own mind up about the service i pay!

Used to be a regular haunt due to the good value and quality of the cooking. I agree with a number of reviewers here, that the service has deteriorated considerably. So much so, that it mars the overall experience - especially when they include the service charge in the bill.

If you haven't been here, try it!

It is not only fast service and delicious food.. its reasonably priced too! I work in Ealing so it's a ritual on Fridays to pop in and choose from there massive lunch menu for a treat. I would recommend the sweet and sour pork with coconut rice or the 'sen mee ped' duck and spring onion noodles. The prawn toast starter is yummy too.

I have lived in London for well over 5 years. I loved every single dish which this restaurant provided and it became a weekly ritual to have dinner at this restaurant. Well done to the team at Silom and all the best.

Very very disappointing. I have eaten at this restaurant before but after eating there last week I will never go again. I ordered a panang chicken curry, the quality of the meat was poor, the sauce was thin and watery and my friends meal was supposed to have seafood in it and there were about 3 bits of seafood which were overcooked, We complained and got nowhere. The restaurant was busy so I think that they have just got to the stage where they are just serving in volume and not worrying about quality and hoping no one complains. If you want good Thai food in the area, go to Thai Cafe in Hanwell much much better and the customer service is excellent!
