Thai Village Restaurant And Bar in Thanet

I have been to this place multiple number of times, and also had group gatherings with colleagues, but I will never come here again! Today I had dinner here after work, some other people from work I know were also here. I finished the food, paid the bill and walked out, and as I reached the outside of this eatery behind me an employee come running shouting “ excuse me, excuse me, have you paid” etc!! I was very surprised! I told them I already paid, but they contested I had not, so I got a irritated and said, “Ok, I had not than”, and they immediately said’ “ok you didn’t, then pay now”, and brandished a card machine and asked me to pay! And this drama was happening in the open courtyard of the shopping area, in full public view. It felt strange, extraordinary, felt like a circus of some sort! Then the two people who own the place came along to say “ no, no, he paid, he paid”! But it was in the courtyard in front of other people, already very embarrassing for me! I worst experience in my life anywhere in the UK, maybe they profiled me from my looks as someone who would leave without paying, I don’t know. I told the owner how I felt, he was standing besides me, trying to explain how this happened, new staff etc, but never even said sorry. I told him to forget me as customer, would never come here, very uncivilised behaviour!

We tried out this restaurant and we were very let down. The starters and main course arrived on one plate and to be honest we couldn’t disguise between the two as presentation was not on the menu. The food quality was of a poor quality in terms of taste.. We don't recommend.

Okay firstly the food was good! Authentically Thai and decently portioned. I could really find fault there. The service initially was great but seemed to detiorate quite quickly. We got our drinks fast, our starter arrived in good time. It was a while between that being removed and our main coming out but that was okay, we weren't really rushing. But I ordered a second drink which took about 15/20 minutes to come and weirdly was not served the same as the initial drink (same drink, first was in a can with a glass, second was already poured, so marks down for lack of consistency). After eating (again food was actually GOOD) we asked for the bill!! We got it fast enough, sure. But it took the best part of half hour for someone to come to take the payment! We owned up about the fact that my second drink wasn't on the bill. That was shrugged off, poor business where I come from, we were willing to pay for it! We tried to tip, couldn't as they don't have the functionality to support card tips! I want to reiterate, the food was great and the young lad who initially served us was brilliant! But the overall experience was poor at best!

Decided to try this venue out. The restaurant wasn't busy but the music a bit loud and the television which my wife was facing had a farming program on showing a cow giving birth. The staff were friendly and helpful and we ordered drinks followed by a starter and main each. The drinks arrived quickly followed by the food. Oddly both starter and main on the same plate. My food unfortunately was grim at best, no flavour and only edible after I covered mine with sweet chilli sauce which came with the fishcakes which were flat, greasy, limp and tasteless. My wife's noodle dish was mainly noodles with very little chicken and only one piece of carrot. The noodles were claggy and congealed. Fortunately the toilets were immaculate a pity we could not say the same for the food. We will not return.

After reading some of the reviews we nearly cancelled our booking so glad we didn’t, The service was perfect, greeted by a very polite smiling waitress taken to our table, another lovely waitress took our drink order followed by yet another lovely waitress who took our food order, The food was hot and very tasty, definitely will be returning would totally recommend eating here 💯

Truly terrible ,manager/owner is unhinged,incredibly rude violent women .,my wife and I were thrown out as we asked to have our starters before our main course.The owner manager shouted and screamed at us ,even threatened me with physical violence. Do not understand how this place is still in business ..Avoid at all costs.

The service was poor and we experienced rude and abrupt behaviour from the staff. The food we ordered was of a poor quality. We will definitely not return.

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. Very much needed on a cold, wet windy day. It was my first time here so I asked our waitor Jayden (apologies if that's spelt wrong) what he recommended. I am so glad that I went for what he recommended, it was delicious! Food came very quickly and was nice and hot. 3 of us tried different things and all were amazing! Bonus, it wasn't that expensive either. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you.

The curry we ordered can only be described as unfit for purpose. We left the contents on the plate and walked out after paying the bill, We do not recommend.

The staff look happy to be working there, the restaurant was busy. The usual warm welcome from the owners. Admirably looked after by Amber. Exceptional food, as always. We'll be back again soon. Thank you all.

The service was very poor and the food didn’t arrive for an unacceptable period of time. The qualifier of food was not of a good standard.

We don’t go out that much and just dropped in after shopping in the complex. Where do I begin; disorganised service with an attitude. The poof was not well presented.

Not a good experience. The service was very poor and food bland. It was an experience we want to forget. We do not recommend this place .

Visited for a birthday with a large group, was well looked after from the out set. The value and quality of the food was amazing and service was second to none will be popping in again soon. Many thanks for making our afternoon so special.

The service was rude and disrespectful from the moment we walked in. The food quality was very poor and not what we expected. We do not recommend.

Visited for a family birthday celebration this afternoon. The service, food and prices were fantastic. Will definitely be back!

The food quality was basically poor. The service was non existent. We do like to give credit where it is due. There was parking in the complex.

The food we ordered of a so called meal deal consisted of a plate of gristle which was not edible. We were not impressed and do not recommend.

The experience was not the best. The service can only be described as basic attention to the customer. The food quality was poor. We have no intention of returning.

Astounded by this find! The menu choices were excellent, the food was delicious and came very quickly. Incongruous location but will definitely be coming back. Thanks Wayne for making us feel so welcome and congratulations on achieving and sustaining such a special family asset!

Honestly; the food was very poorly cooked . The rice was baked and tasteless. When one goes out to dine this is not what one expects. We do not recommend.

Value for money, amazing. Im shocked at stars. This is a gem. Cant wait to go back. Seriously go for yourself then judge. Mel

The food we ordered was dry and tasted processed. The vegetables didn’t taste fresh. We will not return and do not recommend.

I visited last night, with my friends. We chose off the £10 started + main menu which was a great deal! We were at first worried the portion sizes would be smaller due to a reduced price but this wasn’t the case! Still massive portions. I had the Massuman curry and Chicken Satay and it was so delicious, my partner had the chicken pad Thai with veggie spring rolls, which of course I had some of his, and that was also so delicious. So much flavour and food comes out steaming hot. Although it was quite busy we didn’t seem to be waiting that long for our meals. As I said it was quite busy so the servers were rushed off their feet, so at times we did struggle to get attention when we wanted to order more drinks, but this is normal in a high capacity restaurant I guess. I will definitely be coming back soon and I recommend 10/10 to anyone.

The standard of service was unprofessional as we were pointed towards a table. The general atmosphere was not welcoming. The food was ok.

The food quality was of a low standard seemed undercooked. The presentation of the food was of a poor standard. We will not return.

The service I can only describe as being rude and very abrupt. The order for food was eventually taken and what arrived on the plates was not satisfactory. We do do recommend!

We were out shopping and wanted some dinner before departing.; Big mistake. The food we ordered was of an extremely poor quality and undercook. We will defiantly not be returning.

Fantastic food great price friendly service and great location definitely visit again starters are yummy

We were just passing and wanted a simple bite to eat. The staff were very disorganised and ordering from a simple menu was a challenge as we did not receive what we ordered. We were not offered drinks before the meal and when the right...

Always have a lovely evening here! Highly recommended…great tasting authentic food at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service as usual tonight for a family birthday. Thanks to Wayne and all the staff for a wonderful night.

The service was slow abrupt and disorganised. We were not offered drinks whilst waiting for our food. The food was of a poor quality. We do not recommend .

Visited with my partner in November, I wasn't going to review as we did get a refund on mine, we attended for the £10 deal. I ordered the pork dumplings that came raw, I showed the waitress who took them away and said I had...

After waiting one and half hours and watching people get served who came in after us we politely asked if our food would be much longer as we were going to the cinema only to be told by the Thai lady owner “I am cancelling...

Where do I start. The food orders were mixed up and what we received didn’t match our order. When we eventually received what we order the contents were such poor quality that we didn’t eat and made an exit after reluctantly paying the bill.

The standard of service was zero and offensive. We do not go out to be patronised when we make a complaint about slow service and low grade food.

The quality of food was very poor. The meat not cooked properly and gristle content. The vegetables didn’t taste fresh. We do not recommend.

My wife and I came to eat here early on a monday evening, with slight trepidation as some of the reviews are not good, but, as it had never been as bad as described during our several previous visits, we decided to give it another...

Had an amazing time celebrating our auntie Jan's birthday 14th Oct. The owners had decorated the table area with birthday banners and birthday icecream as well as the whole restaurant singing happy birthday. The food was excellent, great choice and piping hot. The owners thoroughly...

The service when we arrived was absolutely rude and not what you expect when dinning out. The food was at best edible and well over priced for the tiny portions. We do not recommend.

The service was disorganised and when we placed an order the food took a very long time to arrive. The quality of the food was not of a high standard. We will not return.

Where do I begin. The service was rude and the order not taken properly as what we received was not what we ordered. The table was not cleaned properly. When we eventually received the right food it was covered in grease and not appetizing. We...

We went for the £10 express lunch and found the food amazing, great quality and loads of it and the service was quick and friendly. They said they are having staffing problems at the moment but we had absolutely no complaints. Lovely atmosphere and a...

Ignore the bad reviews, we had a great time, food was good, atmosphere was great, staff were friendly and helpful, definitely will return

The food is really good but is unfortunately let down by the manager. He is rude, patronising and actually called us a 'c**t of a table' to us after we simply asked to split the bill. He was also doing shots behind the till and...

The food quality was very poor. The service was very disorganized and abrupt; the staff did not appear to be happy.

Fantastic food and incredible service. We were served by the owner who recommended dishes for us and couldn’t do enough for us. All of the food was freshly prepared and we didn’t have to wait very long. We had a great evening and will definitely...

not shown properly to a table.. the words crack on when pointing to a seat is not what you want when your about to spend money on eating out.. slow drinks order, lost drink order, manager swearing about staff, tables waiting an hour and a...

Went with friends at lunchtime and sat outside for a few drinks before eating. The service was fast and friendly and we had no absolutely no complaints. When we were ready we went inside and ordered a selection of dishes. All come out in good...

Not sure what happened tonight but very slow service, manager swearing at customers, groups of people left without paying which made the owner completely loose it, waitresses crying, food was over cooked and dry and no flavour. A real shame as we’ve been before and...

Disgusting & shocking service. A male covered in dirt down his clothes (not employed by the business as another staff member has informed us) serving food and drinks pouring the ice over our table after we explained the drinks were not what we had ordered....

The food we ordered was of a very low standard and took for every to arrive. The service we received was equally poor and abrupt. We will not return to that place and do not recommend.

Me and my partner really love this place, the drinks are to die for (I highly recommend the strawberry daiquiri)! The service is always wonderful and friendly, and the food is stunning. I would love if they could label which items on the menu are...

The food quality was very poor and not worthy of payment. The service was unwelcoming and disorganised to say the least. We want to support restaurants and hospitality but not this one.

I've been here several times now for the express lunch and it is so good every time and excellent on price. Speedy and friendly service. Glasses not empty for long. Food is so tasty and I absolutely recommend the satay with pad tai chicken 😍...

The food we ordered was of such a poor quality that we didn’t eat the contents on the plate. The meat was not cooked properly and the rich baked and hard .

It was super easy to book a table for our family lunch, and the service was Gold Star, with the fabulous Nick Warren looking after us. We thought we'd try the lunch set menu as we'd not been before and it was absolutely stunning. All...

Owner can't take any feed back without being rude, aggressive and patronizing, (in front of my child) food portions small, rice hard, drinks over priced or not what was paid for. Don't recommend! Oh and you and your voice is recorded apparently! So privacy is...

The food was undercooked, greasy and by the time it arrived cold. We have never come across anything like it . We will definitely not be returning.

The rice we ordered was hard and appeared to be preheated. The sauce tasted stale. We like to give credit where it’s due but can only give credit to the fact we received this food within a reasonable time period.

The food didn’t taste fresh and was not cooked properly. The service was disorderly and unreliable. No return for us.

The food we ordered tasted like it was processed. The vegetables in particular were definitely not fresh. The service was disappointing. No return for us!

We came here when the restaurant first opened and were really disappointed. Visited again today and had a totally different experience. The staff were attentive and we were served quickly. The food was really good with generous portions. The Tom yum soup was delicious. The...

The food quality was of a very poor standard. When you order a steak you don’t expect to be chewing on it for two minutes before returning it onto the plate. We called later to make a complaint and withheld our number. The phone went...

We are on our hols and travelling around trying different experiences and restaurants. This place is at the bottom of our list. Unwelcoming and the food was nothing to talk about.

No complaints, friendly staff, quick service and tasty food, particularly the main course. We went early afternoon, not too busy and we would happily return for an evening meal.

We waited for a long time for an order to be taken. The place was empty which was very insulting. The food we can only describe and being edible.

The service was non existent and delivery time poor. What we received on the plate was sub standard. We should have looked at the honest reviews and we will follow suit. No return!

The food was undercooked and not well presented. The portions were small and well overpriced. We will not return.

We don’t get out much and wanted to start the school holidays well. The food at this place was poor quality and processed . The service was disorderly.

We came for a dinner and drinks before the cinema and experienced perfect, friendly and welcoming service from Wayne, the food and drink is excellent value for money for the quality that is served, they were busy on a Friday night which is always a...

We had the fixed lunchtime menu £10 pp. I had the dumplings but you only get two and they were smaller than the hole in the top of a coke can. The starter and main come together on one plate.

I used to be a regular when the restaurant was in Harbour St, Ramsgate which was superb, I visited when it first opened in the new premises which was terrible both food and service, felt they were totally out of their depth with the size...

Firstly, i wanted to address the cleanliness of this restaurant. it was such a shame as the decorations provided an authentic feel although there was a multitude of tables that had not been cleaned or wiped down and bits of food underneath our table. My...

The food was really good and tasty. The service from staff was brilliant! We will definitely be going again.

So shocked to see such bad reviews. I went here for my birthday with my family. They couldn’t have been more friendly to us and really made it so special and one to remember. The food was amazing too.

Excellent service, generous portions of tasty food for a variety of dietary needs. We all enjoyed our choice of meal and felt the quality and cost of the food was what we would expect. We have no complaints at all and am curious about the...

The food quality was of a low grade as were the ingredients. The food was well overpriced. This was a very disappointing experience.

The food quality was poor and the same can be said for the presentation. We have no interest to return in future.

I have just left the thai village extremely fully and very happy ! Thanks for a very tasty meal and your fantastic cocktails . Good luck to you all and once again thank you

The service was disorganised and not efficient. The standard of food was of a poor quality and not well presented.

The service quality was abrupt and slow. The quality of the food was of a very basic standard and well below our expectations. We like to dine out so we will continue to do so ,just not there.

The food was not of a good standard and well below our expectations . The service was very slow to deliver a basic food stater. The price was far too high for what we received. We don’t have plans to return.

We go out once and a while and have tried many restaurants. The standard of service was slow and our food requests not recorded properly as we received different dishes from those ordered. The food was not of a great standard and overpriced. No return...

Very happy with our service and food this evening. Very polite staff, cheerful and eager to please. The food was delicious and served quickly. This was our second visit and we won’t hesitate to return. It’s a shame to see such negative reviews as that...

Up until today this was my favourite restaurant and I am devastated that I won't be able to enjoy their Tom yum soup again. To cut a long story short my daughter suffered an allergic reaction to a dish which we discussed with the waitress...

The standard of customer service was very poor. The order was taken and didn’t arrive until we ordered and waited for a substantial time. There didn’t seem to be excuses or allowances as the place was not busy at all. No return .

The service was unwelcoming and disorganised.The food quality was basic and well overpriced. We will not return.

A must visit restaurant. This is not a chain restaurant like the rest at Westwood cross. The staff were extremely helpful and their recommended dishes did not fail. Great selection of dishes to choose from. Food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to...

The food that we ordered was very dry and didn’t taste freshly cooked. The drinks were not of a good standard. The service was very basic and appeared very disorderly and disorganised.

We decided to have some food out for a change. The price of the food was far too high for what we received. We are not ones to complain but the standards were very low.

We go out once and a while for a bite to eat. This was a big mistake. The food was of a very low quality in terms of taste. The service was abrupt and unfriendly.

In all honesty we were never actually going to eat here, despite that Wayne invited us in just like we were family. NEVER have our family of friends been anywhere that treated us like family, the same way we treat eachother. I urge everyone who...

The food we ordered was not well presented on the plates. The quality of the food was not positive. We will not return.

The service was unwelcoming and unprofessional. The food order was given but what we received didn’t match. We were going to raise our concerns but felt that communication had broken down in that place.

I came here for the first time on Tuesday. The service was good, the wine was good and the food was really good. Some of the reviews on here really sound fake. The portion sizes on the main course was more than enough so I...

Could not wish for anything better it was all perfect and always is as we have been there many times and always had a perfect dining experience

Not sure what’s with all the negative reviews, we’ve been here a few times and not only are the staff great but the food is amazing too!! X Shame about the fake reviews being put up from staff at other restaurants x But anyone who...

The service was slow, abrupt and disorganised. The food we ordered was not of a good standard. When we go out to eat we expect better

The food quality was of a very ordinary standard with poor presentation. We like to give credit where it is due but have to be honest.
