Korat Thai Upminster

Ah, Korat Thai Restaurant - where the greeting is as brief as your dining experience! Upon arrival, we were swiftly informed of our two-hour time limit with all the warmth of a distant relative at a family reunion. A simple "hello" would've sufficed, but alas, pleasantries seemed to be on the menu elsewhere. Seated and handed menus quicker than you can say "Pad Thai," we dove into ordering, only to find our dishes arriving with the speed of a Formula 1 pit stop. Clearly, the phrase "freshly prepared" wasn't in their culinary dictionary. The calamari and king prawn tempura were disappointingly reminiscent of leftovers from a medieval feast - chewy, tasteless, and accompanied by a sweet chili sauce that screamed "mass-produced." As for the mains, the Chicken Pad Thai was drowning in a sea of grease, while the Chilli fish and egg fried rice seemed to have taken a dip in a vat of sauce concocted by an enthusiastic but misguided home economics student. And don't get me started on the noisy ambience, courtesy of some rowdy patrons who seemed to mistake the restaurant for a karaoke bar. But the pièce de résistance? The bill. For the princely sum of over £100, we had the pleasure of experiencing a culinary journey that left us feeling more robbed than satisfied. Needless to say, we won't be rushing back for seconds. In conclusion, if you're in the mood for Thai cuisine, I'd suggest looking elsewhere unless you have a penchant for disappointment and an empty wallet. As for Korat Thai Restaurant, they've succeeded in achieving the unthinkable - they've managed to put us off Thai food altogether. Bravo, Korat, bravo. Parking: Street parking.

Had a fantastic meal, would absolutely recommend the duck. Staff were friendly and welcoming 10/10 will definitely coming back!!

Fabulous service ,well know staff menu was briefly explained definitely coming back thank you.

Most awful restaurant ever. The service was rude and grotesque. We had to wait two hours for the food, it arrived cold and uncooked. But the worst thing is that it was my friend's 60th birthday. We left the cake in the kitchen and when they brought it to the table they had thrown away the candles...and after this and much more, they didn't even apologise. shameful!! What a horrible place!

Visited Korat and was immediately impressed by its warm ambiance and authentic Thai flavors. The Pad Thai and green curry were standout dishes, perfectly spiced and delicious. Staff were friendly and the prices reasonable. Highly recommend for a genuine Thai experience

5 star food 5 star service Exceptional food quality and variety We've been retuning here for some time now and having visited other thai food restaurants I cab safely say this is by far one of the best I've been to

We've been coming here since they opened and the food quality and portions have been consistent ever since. The service is warm and friendly and the ambience is nice and relaxed. Really glad to finally have a good Thai restaurant in Upminster.

Me and my partner are huge foodies and have been to many restaurants locally and in London and I must say this one is unforgettable. The food was outstanding and the cocktails were perfect. It is pricey but you pay for what you get, but we did order a lot! The quality of food, taste and flavour was impeccable. I highly recommended the Korat Sharing soup if you like a Tom Yum. The decor was stunning and staff were amazing. Will be back again most definitely and already looking forward to out next visit! I wish I took more photos of our food but managed to get one to share. Thank you Korat!
