Petch Sayam - Waltham Forest

Had a takeaway from here. Really expensive for the quality. The menu is very limited. No massaman beef so opted for another beef dish. Received a few strips of gristly beef with a small portion of salad costing £12! The fish dish was nice but again expensive at £14. The wait was very long, over an hour. Would not use again.

After I saw many bad reviews this restaurant got, I decided to leave mine and I rated it with the maximum i could. I have been in there few times already and it never failed my expectations. In fact I got to eat amazing food for an incredible low price. If I wanted to go to a fancy restaurant I would not choose this one. And if you pretend to find it fancy when its not, then don't complain. its your fault not the restaurant fault. This restaurant has is own dignity and it is clean. Got to a michelin star restaurant if you want to be surrounded by luxury furniture. For the down to earth others I suggest seafood and beef, they are delicious. For the highly expectation people with lack of respect for less fortunate restaurants that keep trying to survive and still give amazing results go somewhere else and please do not leave reviews that can destroy a business as consequence of your bad judgment.

The food was lovely BUT the room was freezing cold. Two inefficient fan heaters sat on chairs was the only heating and delivery men were going in and out. I and many other people ate in my thick jumper and coat. There was just one girl serving and one on takeaway. She was nice enough but a bit forgetful. We had to ask for things several times. Gave up on the plates and ate the whole meal on small starter plates. It wasn’t her fault really, they were understaffed. The worse point was the very very very slow and piecemeal way the food was served. Mixed starter came and waitress said she’d brought it without the fish element as we had been waiting so long already. Twenty minutes later three prawns arrived. Twenty minutes later some noodles. Ten more some rice. Ten more the first main dish. Fifteen more the second and twenty more the final dish. Over two hours for starters and main. Rice and noodles cold before the dishes they accompanied were there. Satay chicken was also cold. But the food tasted great. No vanilla ice cream for our son so we gave up before desert. It is probably good if you choose a delivery but eating in was almost comically bad. Same experience for the other tables, everyone was fed up waiting.

Had a family meal for 3 on Saturday night. Got a few dishes including vegetable tempura to start and I had a lovely massaman curry. Portions were very generous, lovely tasting Thai food and will be coming back hear again. Will possibly go back and eat in as currently has a bring your own alcohol policy so great value.

We arrived for 9pm.........eft very hungry and 10.30.....short staffed meant a restaurant of empty plates and then people left including us....we did manage to get a measly portion of starters which we had between 5 of us we were starving by the time that arrived and had to leave after waiting that long. It seems they were prioritising deliveries the restaurant was full when we arrived but people started leaving en masse......terrible experience never again........
