1st time visitors to this restaurant celebrating out anniversary. We should have known from the starter it was going to be disappointing what with the burnt parcels of meat substance, dried up ribs (bones) as part of the platter for 2. Ordered 2 noodle dishes one seafood, one vegan, both came out greasy and sloppy not the example of Thai food I have experienced. The vegan dish had egg in it and the seafood octopus was so chewy in-fact it was Inedible. My partner and I couldn’t eat it and let the manager know, the manger came over very hostile and said we had eaten it which was clearly not the case as the food remained on the plates still swimming its grease, the food was so sloppy and the ta...

We have visited Mai Thai several times over the past 15 years and always left satisfied, until our most recent visit. The staff are still wonderful, but the food could definitely be improved. We ordered the mixed starters, which used to include prawn toast, but we were given plain toast instead (questioning the authenticity of this dish). When we asked about it, we were informed that it should have been served with egg, which left us completely confused. The main dishes were average and seemed overpriced in our opinion. I am normally willing to pay for good food, but unfortunately, this was not one of those occasions. Moving forward, we will likely choose a different restaurant for pre-theat...

The food had no flavour, costing way over what it was worth. Furthermore, my meal came with an old lime that looked used, near to moulding. Please do not come here, it was extremely disappointing and should not have any of these high rated reviews. A word of advice is to not order the sea bass as it is nearly £20 with no fish but a massive head and tail with a tiny bit of dry fish that tastes like a dessert in your mouth which even the sauce couldn’t save. I encourage you to take my advice and go somewhere else, it was meant to be a lovely mother’s day meal but ended up making us very thankful with every other restaurant.

The restaurant had a beautiful Thai décor and the atmosphere made us feel like we were in Thailand. The staff were polite and attentive. We began with strong and flavorful cocktails that were not watered down. I ordered a Mai Tai with Blue Curaçao. Our starters were plentiful and authentically made. The main course was delicious with a variety of dips and chutneys. My son, who dines out frequently, said the ribs and satay were some of the best he's ever had. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely return, but recommend booking in advance.

Food was ok. The starter platter was very greasy overall. The pork ribs were dry and the random pieces of toast were a mystery. For main we had the tamarind duck which was overcooked, the chick penang, egg fried rice and fragrant rice. The dishes seemed to not hot enough temperature wise which was frustrating. The restaurant lacked any atmosphere considering we went in NYE. Think we will opt for a Thai up in Wimbledon village next time. Real shame.

Lovely tasting food, however, it was expensive the portions were extremely small could almost have passed as vegetarian due to the unacceptable lack of meat in each dish. 1 of the serving staff had a terrible attitude from the moment we arrived. They dealt with us as if we were an inconvenience to them throughout the evening. Maybe need to look at a different career path not dealing with the public, or develop some social skills.

This cozy restaurant is conveniently located with charming, authentic decor. However, the experience is dampened by the constant playing of Sam Smith songs, which detracts from the Thai ambiance. The food was presented nicely and seemed fresh, with starters that didn't seem to be pre-packaged, but overall lacked flavor. While everything was pleasant, it just didn't quite live up to expectations.

We went there for the Deli Lunch set menu. Very, very disappointing. I ordered the Tub Tim Chicken which was so salty I was unable to eat it plus the chicken consisted of thin slices with no flavour, almost as if it had just been added to an existing base sauce and heated up. I love authentic Thai food, but I won't be returning. Avoid.....

Mai Thai is our usual pre-theatre eating place in Wimbledon simply because the food and service is always excellent. On our last visit I had a Paneang (red curry) and my wife had a Pad Thai, and we both drank Singha. Both meals were really good, rich in flavours and textures. Of course we'll be going back.
