Gin Khao

We were drawn to this restaurant by its glowing 4.6-star Google rating, but our experience couldn’t have been more different. Frankly, we left feeling misled—and worse, scammed into thinking this was going to be a worthwhile dining experience. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, with only two other tables occupied. Despite this, we had to wave repeatedly to get the attention of the waitress. She eventually came over, but with visible reluctance. That was our first red flag. As we placed our order, her demeanor remained cold and unwelcoming. She didn’t acknowledge our choices—just jotted them down wordlessly. We politely asked for three saucers of chilli (since we had four diners), but instead of accommodating a simple request, she frowned and asked if we could just share. If we were happy to share, why would we have asked in the first place? When it came to service, things only got worse. Each time she brought out food or drinks, she slammed the items down on the table without a word. It was jarring and felt completely disrespectful. This wasn’t a busy night—there was no excuse for such rushed, impersonal service. On top of that, the table hadn’t been properly wiped down—it smelled faintly of fish sauce and had visible residue. Even before our food arrived, we were constantly swatting away flies throughout the meal. That, combined with the poor service, made us question the hygiene and standards of the restaurant. The final straw was when we went to pay. She didn’t show us the bill or offer a receipt—just told us the total and expected us to tap and go. We had to specifically request to see the breakdown before paying. It felt like they were actively trying to avoid transparency. As for the food, the Goong Ob Woon Sen was especially disappointing—bland and not at all authentic. For a place that claims to serve Thai cuisine, the flavours were underwhelming. This restaurant may have a high Google rating, but based on our experience, it’s completely undeserved. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I hope this helps others avoid the same disappointment.

Patron at around 8.30pm, consider closing. Menu photos & food presentation, color dull -1🌟 But tasted good. Requested for complementary tom yum soup since already closing, but was given an answer ‘No’ -1🌟 That leaves you 3/5🌟

I never had such a horrible Tom Yang Kung before. The soup is filled with a lot of cabbage and two unpeeled prawns. The prawn cake is nothing like what I ate before. There is no prawn, just breadcrumb. How come they still exist…

Food was quite bad, tasteless and didn't taste like authentic Thai food. We tried a few dishes and all were very bland. Their tom yum soup was really strange, it tasted rather sweet with weird flavourings added in. The basil pork phad see ew was a disaster. It was completely different from my expectations as the ones I've had in Thailand were so good. The dish here lacked flavour and just tasted like oil. Prices are expensive for this kind of quality. The place gets moderately busy during lunch hours on weekdays, so be prepared to wait a fair bit for your food. Overall, I'm definitely not coming back, nor will I be recommending this place to anyone.

If i were the owner of this place i will first fire that girl with glasses who is taking food from that small window of the kitchen and hire someone who is good in serving with a smile. Also please change the stool if you want people to sit longer and order more food, so difficult to sit with children, hardly can fit my bum. Such a good location for a nice restaurant wasted.

My 2nd time there cuz food was good & generous portions the 1st time (4 months ago). Disappointed this time!! We ordered: -Tom Yam Kung:Not authentic at all, just red coloured soup. -Grilled Squid:Rubbery, tasteless, undercooked DISGUSTING!! -Grilled Pork shoulder: good but TINY portion. -Bbq Chicken Thigh: decent -Kor mu yang: good but TINY portion. -Somtam : decent but TINY portion. Portions shrank a lot. Standard DROPPED! Charged us for 2 rice instead of 1. Servers look like they don’t wanna be there. Hard to get their attention for anything. NOT COMING BACK. Besides there are 3 other Thai restaurants near by with waaaay better food quality!!

We saw this interesting Thai fusion place so decided to try! Ordered more fusion dishes but weren’t really impressed. Thai coffee w coconut milk - This was quite nice, it was fragrant! Looks odd as the coconut milk didn’t fully dissolve but it’s fine Stir fried udon (fusion menu) - It’s cooked like a Pad Thai but with udon. It’s okay not too bad but wasn’t impressive. I found the udon noodles didn’t quite absorb the flavors of the sauce well. Amount of ingredients was not bad but overall portion was quite small. Would also have been good if the menu indicated what was in the dish, we didn’t know it had seafood. Som yum carbonara pasta (fusion menu) - This is an interesting dish, really fusion. Came with fish skin and salted egg in the sauce. Pasta had really good Al dente texture. The sauce was interesting and nice to try but l wouldn’t reorder this again - maybe this combination wasn’t for me (versus other fusion pasta styles like tomyum pasta or thai basil pasta). The portion was small for this! Basil tofu - It’s a light tofu dish, cooked with Thai basil sauce and with long beans. It wasn’t indicated but there’s mild spice. It’s not bad for tofu dish but there’s flavor was quite mild, not a strong Thai basil flavor. Marmite cauliflower - We were really excited for this. While it tasted a nice as a fried cauliflower dish, I couldn’t really taste the marmite in this so we were slightly disappointed in that part. Overall, a Thai fusion joint with average food but pretty decent prices! The fusion dishes (for a place where the signage says Thai fusion) didn’t impress us with the flavors. Taste here is quite mild so it’s suitable if you like lighter flavors, while I prefer stronger heavier tastes.
