Giggling Squid Wimbledon in Merton

Después de haber sido un fan de calamares risueños después de excelentes comidas en las sucursales de Guildford y Bury Street Edmunds, probamos la sucursal de Wimbledon. Mi acompañante disfrutó de sus fideos Pad Kee Mao, aunque no eran nada especial. Sin embargo, el curry especial de pato rojo era horrible, en mi opinión, las piezas de pato se veían y sabían más como restos y entrañas del tipo que habría descartado a la papelera. Lástima que la salsa estaba deliciosa. Habiendo rechazado la mayoría del “pato”, y hablado con el personal, parece que el plato era como se anuncia. Strange. Como gesto de buena voluntad, un té gratis habría sido bienvenido, pero el desinterés y el encogimiento de hombros estaban más a la orden del día. No regresaremos a Wimbledon, pero no abandonaremos la cadena por completo. Esperemos que una mala experiencia.

Comida increíble, el servicio podría ser más atento. Los precios son razonables. Me encantaron los entrantes, tuvimos ine de la bandeja de compartir. Somos locales, así que sin duda volvería.

Visitó hoy, llegó 16. 30 , solo 2 de nosotros en un restaurante completamente vacío Se muestra una tabla para 2 - solicitado un 4 - dado rápidamente / feliz resultado Le dieron menús de bebidas. Esperamos Esperado Esperado Marcado abajo servidor desapareciendo pidió menús de comida, se les dio e intentó salir, ¿podemos pedir una bebida, oh sí bien Pedido de bebida - llegó (nervioso ahora así ordenado entrantes ) Llegaron entrantes - sabrosos - pedidos principales Y otra bebida EN ESTE MOMENTO NO HAY CONTROL DE ALERGIA Bebida olvidada NO check back on starters Llegó la red (nadie limpió las placas de inicio) [ (todavía NADIE MÁS en el restaurante) Entonces recordé la bebida. No devuelvas la comida. La comida era sabrosa. El servicio era terrible. Se fue y tuvo desierto en otra parte.

Pedimos en línea a través de deliveryoo y la comida estaba un poco fría, pero qué esperar en un viaje de 15 minutos desde el restaurante. Pedimos una selección de entrantes y vino en bandejas de plástico que se sentía evitable. El pollo pegajoso era genial y tan feliz de decir que se han deshecho del tofu empapado que solía haber en el tailandés de almohadilla de verduras, gran mejora de antes.

Comida buena como siempre. Muy conveniente al ir al teatro. El servicio fue atento y oportuno, lo que ayuda cuando tienes un compromiso de tiempo.

Fabulous choice of delicious food. Service was perfect, all four meals were incredible and great value for money. Don't hesitate if you love Asian food

We visited with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. The menu was varied - sadly no Thai fishcakes which we love, but many other seafood goodies more than compensated for that - like soft shell crab! The food was delicious, portuons generous and the service faultless. Delighted to know this is a chain, so look out Leicester we are coming for you! If you like Thai food and are looking to eat out in the Wimbledon area give this a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed. Our only disappointment is that we live too far from Wimbledon!!

Nice ambience. The salt and pepper squid was yummy, and so was the satay. The food was nice and flavourful but could have had a bit more of a punch. Lychee yoghurt was quite interesting and my daughter loved the chocolate dessert. However service was awful! We had to keep calling the waitress and she just kept ignoring us. We had to ask her for everything , water, ice , cutlery ! They need to train their staff.

Very busy during Wimbledon fortnight so book ahead. Great selection of dishes served promptly by excellent waiting staff. Original fish dishes were very tempting including Thai garlic hake which was delicious and full of vegetables as well as tasty fish

Amazing food as always. We came during Wimbledon - a very busy time for them. We didn’t have a reservation and they fit us in. Food amazing, we ordered the sticky chicken, lamb shank, stir fry chicken, a Thai salad and 3 different type of rice. That coconut was my favoured. Looking forward to going back and our waitress Noel was excellent

Whenever you go its busy. Its busy because its so good, always good. The food the drink the staff the service. If you havent been just go

We went for a friends birthday. The staff went above and beyond allowing us to decorate, not rushing us so we could chat over drinks first. The food was delicious and really good value. I honestly couldn’t fault it and thoroughly recommend.

Lovely attentive service ! Went on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were really friendly . There were new specials . We had starters of pork belly & crispy mushroom. Mains were butterfly prawn pad Thai , tofu & mushroom salad & beef curry . Restaurant was beautifully decorated with. Staff were helpful as well compared to other branches we have been too .

my first time visit Putney area and found this attactive restaurant by chance. We had a great experince here. Nice taste, friendly atmosphere and service!

The best thai I've ever tasted! Big portions, I'd recommend spring rolls and zingy prawns for starters. Service 5* especially from lovely Deniz. We will be back with our son who loves food, especially Thai! Thank you for a lovely Valentine's day dinner xxx Joanna and Gary xx

A fantastic Thursday night treat for me and my partner! Continuing with my New Year’s resolution of pescatarian, we had a fish themed dinner. Starters: Veggie spring rolls & one bite Salmon Mains: Garlic steamed noodles, coconut rice, prawn Penang x 2, Roti x 2 Everything was cooked to perfection and extremely delicious. The one bite salmon was genuinely the best starter I’ve ever had!!

EXCELLENT quality of food, service, friendliness, comfort, cleanliness/hygiene, atmosphere AND value for money! We go there at LEAST every couple of weeks on a Saturday night. We LOVE it there!!!

Lovely Lunch, mid week delicious food beautifully cooked Thai food in Tapas form so you get the best of everything

Food was phenomenal, great selection of food and drinks and the mojitos were made to perfection. Would definitely recommend

First time to eat and my surprised Food was amazing and staffs are brilliant. Will come back again soon. Very warm welcome and everyone are friendly and fantastic

Delicious food, nice environment, and fantastic staff, Denise the Hostess, was so helpful and friendly and food was amazing, I reccommend anyone to go to eat and hopefully you’ll get the same night as the wonderful hostess

I feel mean saying this as the staff were so friendly but were let down by the food which is all made in a central hub, I believe this is to make the restaurant more sustainable. My food was so sweet that it was fairly inedible. This is a restaurant that doesn't even have a slimline tonic, there are so many diabetics in the world and it is so much in the news about how much sugar we consume. I didn't really enjoy my meal and I don't think we could visit again as my husband is type 1 diabetic and the menu is fairly unsuitable.. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary as we had held our reception in this building before Giggling Squid was born but we didn't even get a congrats! I didn't like that we had to give a review of the restaurant on a tablet. Maybe we chose the wrong things but I wouldn't go back. The food tasted very manufactured and do you use a lot of MSG?

Nice decor and the service was pleasant and not overbearing. My Pad Thai was disappointing. It had quite a lot of bland brown sauce coating the noodles. The chicken and tofu pieces were small in both number and in size and I do not recall seeing beansprouts (also no egg but this was not listed on the menu). Poor value for money given, Pad Thai's main ingredient are noodles. I guess something been lost in the fusion theme vibe.

Great authentic and super tasty Thai food. Two for one cocktails were fantastic. The only thing that lets it down is the service during busy hours. Even though the staff were attentive, pleasant and welcoming, they messed up our orders and had to wait for a while for the various courses, hence the rating. Overall satisfied and will go again!

My partner and I were visiting Wimbledon on Sunday 30th July. We went to Giggling Squid for Linch at 1.45pm & were seated in an area that had a large booking for 3pm. We both ordered & my partners meal came within 10-12 minutes. He waited for mine to arrive. After 5 mins of of waiting for mine I told him to start eating before it cold. I asked how long for my dish and the waitress said “let me go check” she didn’t come back. By now he’s half way through his lunch & mine still hasn’t arrived. It’s now 20 mins late. I asked again, I also pointed out that this was unexpected. She apologised and finally 30 mins later my food arrived but my partner had finished. The fish was ok, lacked flavour. The waitress suggested I can write a review about my experience, so here I am doing just that. The service at Giggling Squid Wimbledon was below average and unprofessional. Will not be going back there.

My first visit to the Giggling Squid in Wimbledon was disappointing. The place itself is nicely decorated and the staff were quite friendly. However, the food was poor in my opinion and not to my taste. The salt and pepper squid consisted of massive chunks of flavourless squid in thick, greasy, flavourless batter. The pad thai was oily, sweet and bland. The hake was dried out. The stir fry vegetables were mostly inedible - huge chunks of hard cabbage and uncooked green beans. We both enjoyed the spring rolls though! On the drinks front my margarita was so sweet I couldn’t drink it. It tasted like pure sugar - I couldn’t taste any lime or tequila. But the matcha and lady in pink cocktails looked beautiful and were delicious. So much going for this place, except the food, which lets it down.

This is our date place with my husband. Everything is just perfection. Gorgeous food, lovey staff. One of the best place in Wimbledon

I love this place, the food is really tasty and the two for one cocktail was an added bonus I didn’t expect. Fast friendly service and just the right amount of food. Would highly recommend for a lunch date or evening out.

Didn't have reservation and were offered a noisy table but staff were friendly and moved us to a quieter area on request. The food is great and very aromatic, it arrived quickly. The menu has a good selection of mains and starters.

Just love this place: friendly and efficient service; tasty food and all at a very reasonable price. Will be back again soon

Good selection of Thai food to choose from and we've been meaning to try it for a while, overall everything was ok. We hoped our waiter would be able to advise us on the dishes to help us choose between our final two. The food...

Ordered online. Items were missing. Sure it was not something huge, just rice. But can admit a curry without rice isn’t the same. Called them, they apologised, said they will send some. Waited 45mn, no news. Called back. They just said there’s nothing they couldn’t...

The standard of foods generally not great. We had satay chicken, beef Massaman and beef green curry together with jasmin rice and pad kemao. Coconut cream from both curries cleary comes from the tin. The coconut cream should have been splitted between fat and oil....

This was our 2nd time here. The 3 of us enjoyed the food, although the stir fry beef with basil was overcooked. BUT..... when we arrived, we were reminded that they need table back in 1 1/4 hours, even though it was on the booking...

Booked here as a lot of my friends rave about giggling squid. We had pre-booked a table and were told by the server to sit at the table behind us by the door. The waitress handed us menus and took our food and drink orders...

Visited restaurant on numerous occasions over the years and recommend it to many friends. Unfortunately after tonight’s visit we will not be going back. Had a main dish wish was under cooked when asked if it was okay was a bit hesitant to say it...

Food is good but had much better at other Giggling Squids. Went for lunch with 3 other staff members and purchased lunch main meal, Thai crackers and soft drinks and additionally wanted some kids pad Thai on the side to share as a table but...

Reasonably priced, quickly served and good tasting food. However upon paying refused to take £20 note which despite server confirming it was legal tender until September she said they weren’t taking them. This wasn’t mentioned before we ordered and we didn’t have card. Got some...

Very tasty dinner and great service provided. We had a spicy seafood which was delicious, and tasty pad thai noodles. We would definitely come back.

We went to the Wimbledon branch as a little closer than Kingston (which we love) and we were very disappointed. We arrived on time, but although there weren't that busy, our table wasn't ready and we had to wait for it to be cleaned. We...

I visited this restaurant when it opened and unfortunately had a bad experience then - food over cooked, organisation poor! I decided to try once more several years later with friends but was sadly disappointed. The food I ordered was not only served 10 minutes...

Had a terrible experience during our celebratory meal. We were looking forward to the meal and service we are used to getting with that chain but it was unusually poor. Got in touch got a standard automated email, when replied got pretty much the same....

So initially the lady who was running around doing everything by herself (hosting, cleaning, serving etc) was very welcoming and I said out of sheer principle I will tip her accordingly because she was on full turbo charge and so pleasant in her approach. Waited...

I came here for dinner with my toddler, my friend and her toddler. Started off great when staff assisted us with our buggies to get upstairs. They also brought high chairs for us to use. Ordered the food, and no more than 5-10 minutes after...

I went with a friend for our birthdays last year and liked it so much I took my partner for his birthday last week, with my friend we were given free desserts for out birthdays and the staff brought them to us singing happy birthday...

I have been to this restaurant several times now it is my go to please for Thai food, I love the small plates for a set lunch as you can have a taste of everything and that is what I think makes Giggling Squid amazing,...

We came for lunch to celebrate an old friends birthday and booked a table as this restaurant is always busy,more so on weekends at peak times. This is hardly surprising as the quality and value for money is 5 star. The service is efficient ,friendly...

I’ve noticed that the standard of food in this chain can vary wildly. The Sevenoaks restaurant really has tasty Thai food. The wimbledon outlet is so utterly disappointing. Ordered moo ping to start and salt and paper squid. The moo ping was absolutely tasteless and...

Always a delightful experience at Giggling Squid! The cocktail list has all the classics (their margarita is on point, and who doesn't love an amaretto sour?!), and the menu features a great selection of Thai classics and their own interpretations. They're accommodating of gluten-free diners,...

We visited giggling squid for my 30th birthday meal. Me and my boyfriend love eating out and was not disappointed. From the start the service was attentive and polite. Food arrived quickly and was yummy. Started with duck spring rolls and pork dumplings. Both were...

Lovely starters but quite sure they served me pig’s testicles for my main course, instead of pig cheek. The fact that the waitress laughed when I asked her about it didn’t fill me with any joy.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The starters were the highlight: moneybags were really tasty, and were the prawn dumplings and suck spring rolls. Main courses were fine, but just not excellent. The crying beef, for example, was enjoyable, but the beef itself lacked flavour. Delicious...

We could not fault this restaurant in any way. The restaurant is done out lovely and has a good atmosphere. The food was delicious. We shared starters of squid, satay chicken and money bags and then had mains of lamb shank, pork curry and melting...

We were told a couple of times that the table was needed in 2 hours (which was very clear on the booking), so the service initially was very fast and the food came out in minutes - which was suspicious. It was average at best....

We actually ordered online and the food was terrible, really floury and starchy. Had the squid, sticky chicken and curry… really not great sorry for the bad review.

Had an amazing dinner at giggling squid! We tried the golden moneybags for starters and the spring rolls (both were absolutely amazing!). Would definitely recommend the vegetable ruby noodles and also the red curry with sticky rice. Sadly they were out of the melting heart...

Best food and great service lamb massaman was the best I'd love to visit this place again there are some more dish I'd like to try

I’ve wanted to visit this place in a while and finally got the chance to. I really feel like i’ve missed out! The food was simply delicious. We were seating upstairs and the service was nothing but patient, attentive and caring! Best dinning experience i’ve...

I've been to the branch in Wimbledon numerous times now as I live in the area. I love the flavours in each dish, they are very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The one negative is that all the dishes have far too much sugar...

The food here is stunning. We went for lunch and had the set lunch meal, which was 4 different small tapas style dishes. So tasty ! Staff very attentive, I will be keeping an eye out for other branches on my travels

Disclaimer. My wife is Thai and a Thai chef. We ordered from the lunch menu. My wife had Pad Thai and I had the cashew chicken dish. The Pad Thai was dry and it certainly wasn't tamarind sauce in the sauce. Bland and tasteless. The...

Second visit to this fantastic Thai restaurant, finished off a fabulous weekend in Wimbledon with a delightful meal at the GS 🦑 Great service, food and value for money. Always flexible with regards to catering for individual needs. I can recommend the Thai Green Curry,...

Whoah Whoah Whoah, what an amazing experience, we had at the Giggling Squid Wimbledon 😊😋 We were transported to a wonderful place, through the - Exquisite taste - Outstanding Customer Service - Comfort of the restaurant Don’t miss out, come and try it, you will...

went for lunch with my friend, both had birthdays one day apart, lovely atmosphere and at lunchtime was fairly quiet which we like, had the lunch platter which was very good value and tasty, would definitely go again, staff were attentive and all covid safe,...

We had a delightful lunch at the restaurant yesterday. Food was delicious and staff attentive and helpful - they could not do enough for us! We had the set lunch menu which was good value. Will definitely be back

After a booking done 3 weeks in advance where we specified the requirement of ONE guest out of seven (onion and garlic allergy), we did very well to call this restaurant a few days in advance to make sure this wouldn't cause any problem: the...

Wow the food, service and the whole experience was amazing!!! Thank you so much. My favourite Gigging Squid experience so far! THANKYOU x

Had lunch here last week,first time back in a year or so. Felt perfectly safe and hand sanitizer free on arrival. Seated quickly and ordered pepper squid,pork dumplings chicken pad Thai,garlic Brocolli,prawn crackers and dip. Good came quickly hot and excellent. Service was efficient and...

Very delicious, pad thai was amazing squid aswell. Really good experience. Quick service and friendly staff. 10/10 ❤️

I had a prawns pad Thai delivered home, it was simply delightful. First time ordering won’t be the last. The best you can find in London.

Order the salmon pawning curry, duck confit, prawn pad thai and squid for myself and a couple of friends. Really delicious and very quick order process.

Delicious food, great portions. Would recommend, best Thai food I’ve had. Pad Thai is especially delicious

Restaurant doing good takeaway business so we thought we'd try it. It's not cheap, the food is average quality and the portions fairly mean. 6 prawns in the prawn curry and the pork cheeks were gelatinous not luscious. Will not return.

Really enjoyed the meal. Ordered through Deliveroo Duck curry was especially tasty and just the right amount of spice. It was on the expensive side, but the food was good so I wasn’t too bothered about the cost Pad Thai was a little tasteless. But...

My friend brought me here for a nice little birthday lunch and it was so nice that came again with my husband the next week. Nice restaurant, beautifully decorated, friendly staff and good service. The food tasted amazing!! You can tell a lot of thought...

We've had some great meals from here in the past, both sitting in and takeaway. Unfortunately not the same on this occasion. A cashew nut stir fry without a single cashew nut in it, and some very chewy beef. The portion sizes are pretty modest...

Food quality has totally gone down hill, everything tasted bland and watered down, couldn’t taste the difference between dishes. Chicken pad Thai full of tofu and veg with next to zero chicken. Very disappointing for what used to be one of the best Thai restaurants.

Really lovely experience, brilliant service I would definitely return ! My family were all very happy with the food. The staff were very attentive and the service was excellent our food came swiftly after ordering. The restaurant felt very safe, we had to check in...

Highly racist, if you are Indian/black you may be asked to sit upstairs In closed area and all white will be allowed to sit downstairs. We booked a table and when we went inside all white people were sitting downstairs and enjoying the ambiance. There...

Let’s start with the positives: nice environment, good service. But the dishes we had were meagre to the point of miserly in meat content. Not good enough for the price and we won’t be back anytime soon. Disappointing.

Used to love this place, but went recently and frankly it wasn’t that great. The “sticky pork belly” starter was frankly nothing of the kind (ok, I think it was pork, but that’s as far as it goes...), they have stopped doing the ribs, which...

Not impressed at all, only a few customers in yet service was slow . Food was cold and had to ask to have it heated. The chain in Bristol was better organised and friendly unlike this one in Wimbledon.

Second visit at a Giggling Squid restaurant and it was as good as I remember - opted for a vegetable Thai green curry and it was really tasty. The tables are kept apart and the staff all wear visors and face masks. There was also...

Went here last night. Stared with the drinks, my daughter wanted an apple juice “sorry we have run out” Passion fruit “sorry we have run out”. Ordered the starter “I’ll have the prawn please “sorry we don’t have that tonight”. My wife ordered a Chicken...

All credit to Giggling Squid for operating a substantial delivery service during lockdown and re-opening so swiftly thereafter. This is more than can be said for its swankier Thai neighbour Patara let alone the likes of Carluccios and Pizza Express which sadly look as if...

Food was tasty but I was very disappointed to recover the prawns in Krachai were I never the shell. Very messy taking prawns out of sauce to remove shell & tail. No finger bowl supplied.

Visited this restaurant on a Thursday night and it was bustling with a good atmosphere. It was the first time I have been to this chain of restaurants and was pleasantly surprised with excellent food. Would really recommend this place

Very busy, but really great food. We had to wait a few minutes for our table and they were very apologetic. The food, once ordered came very quickly and was great. We had the red and green trail curry, the chicken and cashew nut, and...

We had the lunch two -dish combo at lunchtime. We had spring rolls and pork dumplings, then followed by Thai green curry . Everything was beautifully presented by friendly attentive staff. There is a lovely range of Thai cuisine, including vegan and gluten-free options. In...

Really lovely atmosphere in this place. Food was absolutely delicious but must say the portion sizes were fairly small! Have been here twice nice and enjoyed both times. Would definitely reccomend.

Food , decor , staff , all first class Food took a while to arrive , but the 3 course evening meal was so worth the wait Will definitely give this one a five star Could not fault it at all Definitely recommend

We have eaten here a few times now with foodie friends and have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and the food superb with a great choice. So much choice that we usually go for a good selection of starters instead of a...

Very impressed with the location and ambience at this little gem. Very nice food served authentically. I think the prices were average. We had a starter platter (bit on the small side), sticky chicken main, sticky rice, fried noodles, dessert and 4 cocktails. The bill...

Ate here with friends and my fiance for my 26th birthday celebrations! Delicious food and very nice wine. The service from all the staff was lovely and friendly, and they even bought out a little birthday dessert with candle which was the icing on the...

First time visit. Excellent food, well presented and served by very attentive staff. My only criticism is that our starters arrived very shortly we had received our apperatives. Will be returning.

Me and other half had lovely fresh delicious food, thought the staff were really attentive and the service was quick. Cocktails were yummy and cheap, nice atmosphere! Definately cant wait to come back and try more food from this restaurant.

We pop in for a meal regularly and the food is always good. Honest, tasty Asian cooking and a solid wine list.

We had a lovely family meal here. The kids menu was really cool - no pizza and chips here - and really good value. They have a range of tapas and the green thai curry was really good. Our meal was really good value.

We have tried to eat here before but it is always full, now we know why. The ambiance is great, the food is delicious, the staff are friendly and fun and it's not expensive. A great evening altogether.

The actual restuarant, staff and food are generally lovely - we have been there duruing lunch before and had a good meal. Sadly this dinner fell well below expectations, we had to wait 3/4 hr for straters and almost 3/4 hour for our mains. I...
