Our meal started with a medley of dim sum (for myself) and duck spring rolls for my husband - both of which we enjoyed enormously. The dim sum were served on a plate instead of in the bamboo steamers as in most other Thai and Chinese restaurants, which was slightly disappointing, but they were delicious! I was a bit confused...

It was "Groupon night" when we went, and therefore busier than normal, and they hadn't prepared for the extra business. We were not on a Groupon special, but had to wait inordinately! Usually, the food is authentic, and service acceptable.

Where do I start...Okay, my medley of Dim Sum which promised crab tasted like it was made of cheap fish sticks, and my partners spring rolls were good for a supermarket but not a restaurant.

My wife and I dined at Wang Thai a few months ago. The restaurant- and decor is very appealing and fashionable, with an outdoor balcony/dining area overlooking False Bay. The atmosphere is, however, somewhat, "stiff" although the staff were friendly and helpful. The service was good and the food reasonably priced. Unfortunately our meals were somewhat "tasteless" and not to... More

I was a bit sceptic at first but the setting is not as bad as it looks and the food is really good and their prices are really good for what you get.
