Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
Ban Yai Thai Restaurant is like stepping into a mini-Bangkok, but without the flight. The vibes are on point—think charming little eatery in Merton Abbey Mills. The food? Oh, it's banging. Pad Thai and spring rolls really steal the show, while the staff seem to be as lovely as your grandma after a few cups of tea. Seriously, it’s a cozy spot with decent prices and a separate vegan menu that’ll keep the plant-based crew happy.
But hold your horses; it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. While most of the dishes are on fleek, watch out for the beef—some folks claim it’s tougher than a two-dollar steak. So, if you’re not in the mood for a workout chewing your meal, stick to the chicken or veggie options. Overall, a solid place but keep your expectations in check. It’s not Michelin-star, but it’s good enough for a chill night out with the mates.
