Pad Thai in Wokingham

AVOID If you want to stay safe!!If I could give it 0 stars I would.When we arrived at the Red Lion on Saturday night, I was verbally abused by another customer at the bar. One female member of staff called Toni heard what the male said to me, and then said to me, ‘you better not kick off about this, we have to serve him as he is a paying customer.’This is all came as a complete shock to me as I was too a ‘paying customer’.Having let this go and turned around to my friends to tell them about what had just happened, the male was taken out of the pub for another incident.To my utter shock, my drink was then crushed in my hands by a female staff member with brown hair called Hannah and I was then grabbed by a male bouncer with curly black hair and man handled out of the bar for no reason whatsoever- I have bruises all over my arms from this. My friends we also kicked out by a female staff member with brown hair.As we waited outside in shock, an older, kind bouncer told us ‘the girls do this every week. They pick on people, usually other girls, randomly and have them kicked out the pub for no reason.’We called the police an have given a statement and cctv will be looked at and charges pressed.Do not go here if you want a pleasant night out. Never in my life have I been treated so disgustingly from arriving up to leaving. In light of what has been happening to women in recent news, I could not believe how my friends and I were treated by the male at the bar, the females and male bouncer employed here.I will be passing this on to as many people as possible to avoid them being bruised in the way I have been both internally and externally.

Have frequented this place many times because the food is consistently good. The restaurant is the upstairs part of a pub in central Wokingham. Old building so slightly dodgy stairs and a little restricted head height but nothing precarious. It's generally busy which shows its good and service is usually prompt. Not overly posh but doesn't pretend to be. Good food, central location, very pleasant meal out.

Excellent food and service.This is one of the few real Thai restaurants in the UK. (it also has a bar, as per a normal English pub, so you can pop in for just a beer if you want)None of the food has been Anglicised, it's as you would expect to get when being served in Thailand.Can't praise this place enough.The only downside is that it's not open weekday afternoons. A great pity.

Dined 1750 hours, 28DEC21. Had the restaurant tried for 6 months, training daily for hours on end, it could not have offered a more unappealing dining experience. The server deserves a special award for incompetence, disdain, and disregard. She deserves a Culinary Pulitzer Prize for Terrible Service. The food itself was as bored and tasteless as the restaurant. Truly the worst dining experience I have ever had on three continents. Dear Owner: you need to reevaluate why you are in business. Is there even an owner? Didn't see one. A dining room supervisor? Never saw one. Another diner? Nope? Needing service, I strolled to the bar, and literally knocked on the counter and shouted for 3 minutes. Nobody came. A really bizarre experience. Forewarned is forearmed. Good luck.

Good food but served in the bar rather than the restaurant. Reasonable pricing.

We were very disappointed with the whole experience of visiting this restaurant. The service was not good. Staff did not know the menu at all. Service was so slow. Food was OK which is why this is a 2 star and not a 1. Had to ask for bill 3 times. When it came it was wrong. Took ages to sort. It just felt like no one really knew what to do or what was going on. Very disappointing.

Absolutely disgusting. My self and my partner had been across the road at the square. Dancing all night. Came across to the red lion and the bouncer would not let us in . Because I was to hot people around said why he said to hot . Personally think it was a race thing because he is Indian would not let a white guy in to party . Absolutely disgusting very poor. Was not drunk went back to square and spent more money on drink had a ball . Sorry had to be said .

Review of bar and drinking (not eating). Good drinks and cocktails. Saturday night is always fun with music, dancing and good atmosphere. Recommended

Fantastic Thai food!! Complements to the chef.The Staff were lovely and polite. Price was very reasonable. Can't wait to return

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening here. Staff were excellent and friendly. Ambiance was relaxed and laid back. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend to all. Nice little known restaurant tucked away. If you haven't been you should pop along and try. Pricing was fair too... looking forward to next time.
