PAD T'AYE

Don't understand all the 5 star reviews? Neither do we! We were excited after reading about the best thai food ever, so took a drive out to the chapelhall location just along from Newhouse roundabout. I've luckily tasted some great thai food on several continents over the years and am constantly searching for some decent quality grub nearby. Sadly this place wasn't anywhere near the hype. Maybe it is better in different locations but disappointingly it was quite small portions of bland low quality food. The thai shrimp crackers weren't, they were just plain prawn crackers, the curry wasn't spicy, the sticky rice wasn't sticky, just overcooked mush and the basil chicken with pak choi was just a soggy mess. I don't know if the boss was away on the night we drove out and it's normally great, but I can only comment on my experience on our visit, it seemed to be a young girl doing the cooking with a guy who I think was the delivery driver hanging about smoking. I really wanted this place to be good and we were both really excited by the reviews but have now come to realise you can't believe what is posted here or the majority of negative reviews must have been removed somehow. I gave it 2 stars as the food was edible and if done right, would be a good idea.Much much sadness.... Parking: It is in a bit of waste ground with old scrap and steel containers so there's loads of space to park, just watch your tyres for broken glass!

We decided to try the restaurant last night based on reviews and previous good food from the takeaway truck a while back. We were blown away. Food was even better than the food truck had been. Everything was amazing from the crying tiger beef bites to chicken panang curry and the prawns in the massaman were cooked to perfection. Happy kids and adults with the kids noting it was now their favourite restaurant and better than Mamasan in Glasgow. Will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options

Food was fantastic, cooked to perfection will definitely be back to try other dishes. Highly recommend for takeaway or sit in

Wonderful food. Disappointing business owner. Liam called me after his employee called me to inform me that my order was going to be delayed by around 30 minutes because of driver shortages. The order was supposed to take a total of 1 hour to process - 1 pad Thai and 1 drunken noodles. Liam then called me afterwards to placate me. He ended up cancelling the order because I questioned his managerial skills when it comes to his drivers. My reasoning was that every time I have ordered from this place there has been a ridiculous and unnecessary delay in delivery. Never again! Do not order from here unless you want your food delivered very late with unnecessary stress. 08/07/22 update. Please clarify specifically what abusive language I apparently used when speaking to you or your staff? I will not accept slanderous allegations for leaving an honest review. As for ruining your reputation, I think you will achieve this on your own. Anyone ordering a delivery from this business, be prepared for a minimum wait of 1 hour and a half whatever it is you order from them.
