The Thai Corner has received a bit of a caning on here over recent months... so would just like to say that last evening we took a friend from out of town (booked table at 24 hrs notice) & although very busy the service was quick & efficient, food superb, the atmosphere excellent & the price most acceptable.

Not particularly earth shattering news I do accept. "Restaurant does a good job!" ....... but just thought I would take 2 seconds & give praise where it's due.

I went to the Thai corner last night...........What a disaster!! The food is the worst Thai I have ever eaten. I wouldn't take my dog there, he would be insulted. The only decent food supplied was the sweet at the end. I believe the Thai corner should be closed down and the customers refund their money!!!


What an awful disaster!!!!

Have been to both the corner cafe and sema thai. Neither are particularly brilliant, but corner cafe was the better of the two. I dunno about anyone else but I always seem to find it difficult to find authentic thai food in the UK. A 1pound green curry from a street stall in Bangkok walks all over anything I have had in an expensive thai restaurant over here. Maybe its got something to do with the availability of the ingredients.

I agree that Thai food here is nothing like in Thailand but that's hardly surprising - restaurants here have to make a living feeding Brits, the majority of whom will have very different tastes from the average Thai. The result is often food that is too sweet and too creamy, from too much coconut milk. I quite like both TCC and Sema - the food is fine, but I find the service at TCC a bit offhand, and Sema is very noisy when it's busy.


Some of the best Thai food I've had in London has been in greasy spoon caffs taken over by Thais - they still do fry ups but also do curries, noodles etc. There is one in Lower Marsh Market, behind Waterloo, and one near Kings X. I haven't been to either for a few years now, but used to have lunch in both regularly. If you happen to be in Putney I would also recommend Talad Thai on Upper Richmond Road.

Are you smoking crack, Jones? Jesus. You should be eating Pedigree Chum rather than feeding Thai to your dog because that's all your misguided taste buds are good for!


I have never had a bad meal in the Thai Corner Cafe - the red duck curry (Geng Ped) is fantastic as is the Chicken/Cashew Stir Fry (Pad med mamuang?). And to describe it as overpriced? In East Dulwich? I can only assume you frequent the Fried Chicken joints for their cutprice buckets of grease or perhaps the bins behind Somerfield offer a fairer price? (Though I concede they could do with reducing their prices for takeaway only. TCC that is, not the somerfield bins!)


I can't believe the ignorance and disdain behind your comments! I'd easily put the Thai Corner Cafe in my top 3 Dulwich eateries. Phew. Rant over.

If you're ever in The Cut/Lower Marsh near Waterloo in the week or on saturdays try Marie's cafe, a greasy spoon cafe run by Thais for at least 20 yrs and they have, wait for it, a handful of Thai dishes available also, none take more than a few mins to prepare and serve and although cramped it's a good little cafe.

Just thought of this when someone mentioned Thai owners of greasy cafes or something.

I've eaten at TCC three times since we moved here in early summer and I'd say it's clost to the best Thai restaurant I've eaten at in the UK. The food has been outstanding on each visit, the service has been unfailing friendly and reasonably efficient. My only gripe would be the acoustics and lack of elbow room.


(The best UK Thai place I've eaten at is HillTribe in Richmond.)

Hell yeah! See the TCC aficionados all over this thread?! Where is Davey Jones now? The Somerfield bins won't have been stocked, so I reckon he's at the Pedigree Chum.


The best Thai restaurant in the UK! Woop woop. Absolutely love it... though in the interest of a balanced view, I would have to concur with the elbow room comment, but then as an eternal optimist, I'd just say it makes it a cosier night out! ;-)

Ok so the TCC's food is not quite what you'd get in Thailand, but it is a lovely place. I have been going for years and won't have a bad word said about the place. It is reasonably priced and the waiters are lovely. I'd like a bit more rice with my orders, but apart from that it is brill.

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
