Thai Crystal 7 Westow Hill, London SE19 1TQ

"I had a lovely lunch with my friends after the Crystal Palace running event today. I had the 3 course meal from the set menu. Fish cakes, green curry and a bottle of sprite. My friend had grilled chicken from the normal which was tastier than my green curry. I would like to come back to try out the dishes in the normal menu as there is a better variety of dishes compared to the set menu."

"I write this post as I couldn’t let others spend £50 on inedible food. We ordered fish cakes, dim sum and veg tempura for the starters, all were terrible and I couldn’t eat it. We also drove 20 minutes to collect it, being disappointed is an understatement. My red Thai curry was ok but not the best I’ve had. Mum ordered massaman curry which was tasteless and had whole potatoes in which looked either from a tin or just old. I’m sorry we cook daily in our house, I understand prices have gone up but there is no way the prices are justified, as the ingredients are not high quality, if they are, they are being ruined by the bad preparation. We will not be ordering again."

"A bit disappointed - I rarely leave reviews. Spoke to a lovely lady over the phone to put the order in this evening, it’s a Saturday night so I imagine they are busy. However, this is my second time ordering from here. The first time, I wasn’t overwhelmed, but decided to give them another shot tonight. This evening, I was not impressed at all. The wait time was 45mins-1hr, we were very happy to wait. However, two of the items we paid for, each roughly £7 were uncooked and inedible. I have attached photos. I tried the dim sum and I had to spit it out. The calamari is completely uncooked. We also ordered two massaman curries and an egg fried rice. These were ok - egg fried rice quite dry, massaman curry tasty, but not outstanding. We have essentially paid £47 for two average portions of curry, dry egg fried rice, and some prawn toast. I would steer clear, there are lots of better quality takeaways in the area."

"5 hygiene stars always a good start. Traditional Thai decor. Starters good with chicken satay and peanut sauce very tasty. My garlic and black pepper stir fry was fully of veg topped with lovely fluffy freshly deep fried tofu. He has drunken noodles which were plenty hot. We are glad this business has survived through the years. Sorry I ate all the tofu and half the veg before I took the photo!"

"Have ordered takeaway from here many times, but first time I've visited the restaurant. Food was amazing, had the vegetarian starter platter and the tofu panang curry with coconut rice. Staff were friendly, if a bit overwhelmed by how busy it was."
