This is a 100% truthful account of my Saturday night at Ped Thai on 9th November 2024, to celebrate with friends. First time to Ped Thai - so wanted to try their food, as I love Thai food and booked a table for 4. Firstly, I found the Manager (Ped) to be loud and bossy. I wanted to order something in particular, yet he bossily said he would order us the specials that Ped Thai is known for - not very respectful of customer, so he bossily ordered what he thought we should have. When we had eaten the food, Ped asked me how I liked the food ~ I was honest and said that the food was not authentically Thai, that I go to Thai Tables (in Bayswater, Victoria) and they serve authentic Thai food. Ped was agressive in his tone and manner toward me, just because I was honest and told him the truth, that I did not like his food - the Massaman beef (he said was beef to melt in your mouth) had this horrible taste of a burned smoked flavour and it was stale and bland in taste (looked like this was overcooked in a slow cooker). Ped continued to look at me from the end of the room with this angry expression, like giving me dagger looks - which I found to be most inappropriate and disturbing. I felt very uncomfortable with his aggressive loud talking and bashing me down with his vulgar language. What was suppose to be a celebration - turned into this war of words ~ such a horrible owner of a restaurant - he cannot take honesty and then slams his patrons for their feedback. He should NOT be running a restaurant and change professions. I certainly will NEVER be going back to Ped Thai in Camberwell (Toorak Road) and I warn anyone thinking of going there - DO NOT GO! Otherwise, you will be faced with the owner ordering the food for you and then giving you the most rudest attitude back if you are honest about the food. There are other places to choose - give this one a BIG MISS! Be warned. read more
