Thuptim Siam

I gave this two stars because the food we ate from this restaurant honestly deserves it. We ordered 1 x duck herbs, 1 x tom yum soup, 1 x chicken pad thai and 1 x thai beef salad. The thai beef salad was lovely and the duck herbs were interesting and very tasty. BUT the chicken pad thai and tom yum soup were woeful. The chicken pad thai was so mild in flavour it was bordering on bland and the tom yum soup was also too mild. Both were very inauthentic and tasted like they were dumbed down, what a shame but even worse they were full of ridiculous vegetables that shouldnt be in either meal and half the volume of my tom yum soup was vegetables and i ordered it with prawns and only received two prawns which were dry, old and stale. For the first time in many years i spat out a half chewed prawn it was that bad and i ended up with a whole container FULL of vegetables i didnt want to eat. I only went here because it had a great rating on google and it was recommended. If it wasnt for a decent thai beef salad and duck starter it would've been a complete disaster. If you want authentic, this is NOT the place for you. The photos show the left overs that literally took up half the volume of my bland soup
