Thai restaurant with great decor but poor food - and let down by one staff. Also, flies on window sill which completely put me off!!! You got to say - you walk up to this restaurant and you know they have put at least £1 million for decor and setting up the restaurant. You walk up to the restaurant and you see the thai god statues etc. All waiter and waitresses are thai people and wearing thai restaurant clothes. Upon entering you are asked if you have a booking! Yep. Strange but they have plenty of space. Trust me. Walking inside you find that the restaurant is'nt that big. From the outside you think it is big but most of the section is used up by the bar next door - separate company. I believe around 15-20 seat downstairs and up. Great thing is as it is new - it looks the part. Partner and I, got given the menu and the menu looks great at the start. Not being funny at all - but once again their is a spelling mistake in the menu. We ended up ordering the set meal for 2 - can't remember but the price being in the region of £25 per head. The set susukhothai. You can order the standard meals or go for vegetarian. The platter came with a satay chicken, curry pork, spring roll, prawn in batter, fish and a crab cake. Now how did this taste? The satay chicken on the stew - like a kebab was tasty. The pork on a stew was bland! No taste. You are giving a dip - vinegar, sweet sour sauce etc. Still didn't make a difference. The crab cake was greasy and tasteless. The spring roll was bland also. Just to tell you only get one of each - two in total for two people. Prawn fried in batter etc. Bland. Nearly missed that. Fish not fresh. The main menu came in one go - normal rice. Nothing special. We ordered the coconut rice and it tasted bland. No coconut taste at all. The dishes - chicken green curry, some seafood stir fry with squid etc, a pork stir fry, fried noodles. Now, the chicken green curry was okay. Not joking but the sauce tasted exactly like the satay chicken sauce. Seafood stir fry and the pork stir fry tasted exactly the same except that different meats / seafood. Never tasted something so poor in quality. The fried noodle were just fried noodle. As for being unsatisfied for 80% of the food, what really made me unhappy was one waitress! Don't get me wrong, the rest of the team was great. This girl - name start with an A must have been too good for this place. On her hand alone she has a diamond ring - married - which was worth at least £3k. She definitely did not need the money to work for this restaurant. Everytime she brought the food over, she sighed. Nearly forgot! My partner ordered some red wine and it came with a fly! Yep a fly. They did replace it but unacceptable. Now, why we will not be going back! Upon paying the bill we left 10% tip and the waitress looked at us and said that it? Cheek! So take your own pick. Won't be going back at all. I do miss the old thai restaurant in paradise street before liverpool one was built. Oh well. This is all my opinion.
