Doytao Thai - Croydon

I was alittle bit surprised to find this high quality Doytao Thai restaurant branch hidden away on the Strand in Croydon. The traditional food comes out to after order and there is a variety to suit all tastes.

Now im no expert but at 40 ive eaten Thai for at least 15 years. If my massaman is nearly beige and My Tom yum has 4 20c piece size pieces of chicken and 2 beans i know something is wrong. Not worth the wait or the money

Quite quick, soup comes in a rectangle plastic container with not alot of flavour or ingredients. Dont think of sharing or you will be fighting over a piece of chicken. Ive had better.

Took me 20 minutes to drive here and what I get on a rainy monday night is terrible service and ridiculously expensive food.Ordered padseew and some of the noodles was burnt , took very long to make it . Order the fried rice but it was dry and plain. Ordered soft self crab and all i got was ONE small soft self crab for the price of $25-27 (cant remember exactly how much ) but it was so EXPENSIVE I love soft self crab and normaly went for Thai Pothong in Newtown , much cheaper and much better there - at least I got 5-6 pieces of soft self crab and can share between 2-3 peopleWhat I got at DoyTao Croydon is only one piece - seriously? One more downside, it was a raindy night so it was not very busy, around 5 tables only and all had their food served already. But it took 15minutes just for the waitress to notice me waving my hand. The girl was too busy looking around doing nothing rather paying attention to the customersSo disappointed ! Would never come back again ! Would never eat at any DoyTao restaurant EVER!

Doytao at Croydon has an excellent lunch menu that is not only very well priced but is also generous in portion size and flavour. The outside balcony area at the back of the restaurant is a very enjoyable place to have your meal.
