I was really looking forward to my meal at Thai Square (Putney) on Saturday Oct 15 as had had a couple of people say the chain of restaurants in general were good. It was a dinner party for a friends birthday and he had pre booked the table a good couple of weeks before as there was around 25 of us and pre ordered all the food three days before.

When we turned up at 7.30pm our tables weren't actually ready so we had to wait a while to be seated. Once we were seated we sat and waited for the food to be brought over..and waited..and waited...it wasn't until the birthday boy complained numerous times that we actually got our starters. This was at around 9.30pm, two hours after we had arrived! I had pre-ordered from the set menu but never actually saw my starter. A few dishes were placed on each of our tables without any explanation of what they were and we all so hungry by then we just inhaled the lot. We then waited another good half an hour for our mains. The staff turned up and just again randomly placed the dishes around, occasionally shouting out what they were. I tried to find out where mine was but the poor waitress was so confused and stressed I gave up in the end. What we mostly seemed to have was A LOT of rice and a few plates of pad thai and sweet and sour chicken, which was also all cold! The set menus followed with ice cream which I wasnt really bothered about by then to be honest but again I never saw one anyway.

My boyfriend and I ended up paying £26 each for a few of prawns from the starter plate and a couple of spoonfuls of cold rice and pad thai. One thing I did notice the staff was very attentive on however was making sure we all paid up straight away for our drinks, I wish they had been this good on food. While im obviously very annoyed about being ripped off for this poor quality of food and service Im more annoyed for my friend whose birthday it was, he was so stressed by the end of it having to deal with his friends complaining

I've been to Thai Square on a number of occasions and have found it to be very hit and miss.

The food is okay, not amazing. Its quite pricey (about £30 a head) but the venue is nice, the atmosphere usally good and the service friendly and I don't mind paying a bit more for a nice restaurant experience.

Booked a table here on saturday for 2 for my birthday at 9pm. We asked for a window table and told them it was a special occasion. On arriving, we were told that our table was not ready and to have a drink at the bar. The bar was like a nightclub, very loud with flashing lights and being pregnant and unable to drink, I didn't want to sit there! We waited 15-20 minutes for our table and received no apology for having to wait. Our table was then right next to the toilet and we had to move it as it was so close to the next table that my husband couldn't get in his seat! We decided it was not worth paying £60 for a meal here and promptly left and sadly, I won't be going back.

I went for a meal last night at Thai Square Putney with a friend. We started with a drink in the bar, the staff were friendly but there was not much atmosphere. Then we went to the up to the restaurant.



I should have known the meal was going to be a disappointing when the couple next to us received their bill before their desert. Our mains arrived before our starter, which we sent back. We then received only one of the starters and sat for 10 minutes until I called somebody over. 15 minutes later my starter arrived.



I decided to accept it as my patience was wearing thin. When our main meals arrived, the steamed rice was dry and luke warm, indicating our meals must have been the original plates they brought us. Both were dry and tasted like a ready meal.



Then the waitress kindly added my optional gratuity in for me. The breath taking setting could not be appreciated as it was overshadowed by a very poor experience.

Thai Square Putney is the classiest drinking place to go in Putney by far. The staff are friendly, it is layed out nicely and the drinks arent overly priced.


Thai Square Putney overlooks the Thames and at night it is breathtaking. The only problem is the jealousy of the women, be prepared for that. Instead of staring, they need to head down Harvey Nicks!


I would reccommend Thai Square Putney as a starting point before going to the West End.

Thai Square Putney is fairly pricey but the food is good and the staff are very efficient. Don't mind Thai Square Putney for a treat every now and then.
