WokPapa Carshalton

I buy a lot of fast food, because I often do mystery shopping. My assignment is sometimes to assess the food I order. We have to be as objective as possible whilst working. I feel my objectivity may be of help to some. So my food, to me, tasted just below avearge. The thai green beef curry was watery and the beef in it was tasteless. The chicken curry was bland. I have an issue was the obvious stingy portions. I ordered and paid 8.90 for a large char sui pork and got like 13 small slices of pork in a normal sized container (which could have held 3 times as much with room to spare). I also ordered curry and they were in tuppaware dishes, nowhere near filled near the top neither. I know times are hard, but you can't be stingy and expect regular customers. Bland, stingy average dishes and poor value for money. That's my honest opinion. I usually have a rule about takeaways in Sutton Borough, and in quiet towns like Carshalton. I long realised through experience, they don't usually have the competition the inner city restaurants have, so their prices are usually higher and food is not as good. So, mistake made, will choose better next time from a more competitive area. Edit: in response to the owner's reply, I order from Local takeaways because we expect the prices to be lower and food portions fair. That has been my experience in general in more populated areas. Obviously I would expect the cost of ordering from a Wagamama to be dearer because it is a high street restaurant, whereas you aren't (as far as I'm aware). Also I will stress, the pork char sui I received from you last night, would have fit into an empty mini -cheddar crisp packet. That's how small the "LARGE Portion" i ordered was! Definitely not worth 9! I wish I had taken a photo of it, but I was hungry and it took me 1 min to finish it. Also if the large portion consisted of 12-13, thin, crisp-sized slices of pork, how many would i have received for a SMALL sized portion?! I mean no offence. I'm being honest. If I did I would give you 1 star in all departments! However, I understand. You are trying to run a local business. Good luck with it
