   The food at Try Thai has changed the beef in red wine and brandy sauce was more like a sweet and sour.The chicken satay had changed but was quite good. The beef with chillies and holy basil tasted different. The beef has for the last 10 years+ been flame cooked / and or charcoal cooked and has a different flavour which is a shame. Is it a change of chef or to keep prices lower and within budget. I may return but not within the next month.

   This was my favourite restaurant in Manchester until this evening. Super disappointed, the menu had changed, granted it’s been a while and that’s to be expected but it was frustrating trying to explain something I wanted and being told to have a pad Thai, when it’s nothing like what I was explaining I used to always have, then bluntly being told it’s changed. Service was bad was seated for 20 mins before anyone took a drink order, then had to wait 50 mins for food and only came out after asking if food would be long, to be given cold dishes and asking for them to be heated. Really disappointed as it used to be such a great place with great service and food. Being served cold food after 50 mins waiting for it, is bad.

    Disappointing experience. Visited with family on Sat 26th October for my Dad and I's shared birthday meal. The restaurant felt commercialised, not authentic. A big focus on Halloween with the decor overtaking the Thai touches e.g. pretend dead arm and bat hanging over us from the bar. The waiting staff were dressed in costume including face paint which just killed the vibe completely and I also felt was a hygiene issue as I questioned if they may have worn each costume more than once - this was 5 days before Halloween itself! One person also was wearing black gloves which again can't possibly offer good hygiene. We were to the side of the bar and basically forgotten about, so had to ask someone if we could order both drinks and food together. The food left much to be desired. We had the mixed Thai starter, meat was chewy and overcooked. Our main meals were luke warm, my dad was waiting for his main for five minutes after meals had arrived for the rest of the table. I had the cashew nut dish and the sauce was watery and bland. My partner said his pad Thai tasted like ketchup. Three of us ordered rice but staff didn't think to explain rice comes in a big bowl and that we would only need two between three of us. However, they only initially brought two of the rice, then as we were halfway through our meal randomly brought us the third. We were able to get two portions of rice and the service charge knocked off the bill but no proper apology or acknowledgement of anything that had gone wrong - and it still set us back £130. Worst Thai experience I've ever had, I'll stick to Mommy Thai which is a no frills, street food style place I usually go to in Leeds with friendly staff and delicious food!
