Thai Elephant - Wokingham

Overcooked ‘old’ food. Really quite disgusting. They are totally disorganised and rude. I actually felt nauseous when I tasted the duck

My husband went to the restaurant at 6pm and ordered a take-out. He was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. He left to run some errands and returned 30 minutes later only to be informed it would take another 30 minutes! In reality, it took an additional 45 minutes. I understand it was a busy Saturday night, but the wait was excessive. Adding to the disappointment, the vegetarian pad Thai we ordered ended up having chicken in it. As a non-meat eater, this was quite off-putting.

Last night, my family and I dined at Thai Elephant. The service was outstanding and made us feel very welcome. The food was freshly prepared and incredibly tasty. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and fresh, and the pad Thai was one of the best I've ever had.

During the lockdown, we decided to treat ourselves to takeout one evening from a restaurant we hadn't been to in years. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the food quality compared to our previous experiences. While the soups were good, the main dishes ranged from barely passable to downright awful. The dishes were filled with cheap, filler ingredients like peppers and tomatoes, and the duck was covered in fatty skin while the lamb contained gristle and fat. The sweet and sour pork was mediocre at best, lacking in flavor and color. The only highlights were the rice and soup. Despite the high prices, we felt let down by the overall experience and only received a partial refund after complaining. We wouldn't recommend this restaurant and have had better Thai food from stalls in Camden market at a fraction of the price.

We got a takeaway delivered here on Friday night. We spent £35 and it was only the spring rolls that were edible. The beef satay was burned and gristley and satay sauce tasted off. The duck pancakes were dry and the Thai green curry tasted very strange and was too spicy to eat. Very disappointed as we have eaten here previously and it was nice! Seemed like they were trying to get rid of old/poor quality stock.
