Thai Square on the Strand review by Rakesh
My wife and I were asked where we would like to sit and told the staff away from the front door as it was 2C outside, and dispite the restaurant being empty were told to sit at the front.
We ignored their pushy waitress and went to the rear of the restaurant.
We ordered the platter, which was ok but nothing special for the supposed 'Best thai in UK as voted by the Thai government'
The main course was again just average, pad thai and red curry. The red curry had far too much oil, so much so that it was clearl visible about the sauce.
My wife asked for a slice of lime, and after 5 minutes the waitress provided slices of lemons. We said sorry we asked for lime, and in reply she answered 'isnt it the same thing?' Both my wife the couple next to us and I nearly burst out in laughter!
She took the lemons back and once again bought them to our table saying 'thats all we got, we you like them?'
On our way out of the restaurant I asked the manager if they had any limes, he answered no we do not use limes.
So to summarise, if you want authentic Thai that do use limes (like 99% of normal restaurants) do not visit Thai Sqaure.
ps They think lipton tea is green tea!
