Ros Thai Restaurant

Lovely restaurant and takeaway. Friendly staff. Food in my experience is excellent. The best coconut rice ever. Nice area - fairly easy parking. Can get very busy so ALWAYS book.

Love this place. Great food. We’re always greeted by Niran [spelling?] who is the loveliest lady. Sometimes is open when google maps suggests it is closed so would recommend calling just in case.

My fiancé and I were staying nearby after attending a funeral on Fri 23/09/2022. We walked into the restaurant and asked if they had a table for two. The single member of staff standing there looked at us and sniggered before she asked us if we’d reserved a table. She seemed to take great delight in the fact that we hadn’t booked a table as she turned and looked at the lady sat dining at the table next to her and said something to her in her native language and laughed at us more. We were too stunned at the rudeness to challenge her for her rudeness but, instead, we apologised for not having booked in advance . As we walked out, she called out to suggest they could put us on a corner table that she didn’t think would be of much interest to us but, even then she seemed to be mocking us so we just left. We’ve never experienced such rudeness in any restaurant before and we are still uncertain as to why we were treated like that. Our conclusion is that, for whatever reason, this member of staff was either just generally rude to customers or more likely, that she just didn’t like the look of us, either because of how we were dressed too smart or too casual, who knows, and/or she didn’t like one or both of our ethnicity groups or the fact that we were a mixed couple of different ethnic backgrounds I’m of Asian descent and my fiancé is white/Caucasian . We are both Brits and neither of us, either individually or together, have ever experienced the rudeness we experienced at Ros Thai. It’s still a mystery as to why we’d be laughed at for simply walking in and asking if they had room for two. And there were a few empty tables at 7pm that Friday. Needless to say, we would not recommend this place to anyone just based on the poor customer service received from just walking in.

x3 small tubs for delivery , pad Tai, rice and curry , no lemon lime or coriander very stodgy poor excuse for fresh fragrant Thai dishes for £37 :- will not be using again .!!

We went to Ros Thai first time after lockdown rules lifted. We used to love it when Gus was there. Today we were served by a grumpy, unhappy, impatient woman who made us feel uncomfortable. It felt like we're were a burden. The food has gone down hill, the place looks run down since Gus days...and even the menu looked tacky. Will not be going there. It used to be our favourite restaurant! Very sad.

Genuinely shocked by the abysmal level of the food. Ordered on a Tuesday evening so no real excuse for the level of food. Dumplings were burnt underneath. For steamed Thai dumplings one presumes they’ve been reheated and resulted in being burnt. I also ordered their Squid Gratiem Prig-Tai to which the squid was so over cooked I threw the dish out after one bite. The squid had passed to a near tyre like consistency. Again, not a weekend rush, a Tuesday early evening so no excuse. For the amount I paid, I’m overly disappointed with the frankly disastrous food. Avoid at all cost.

My parents live in Rottingdean and visiting Ros Thai is always one of the highlights of our visit. The food is delicious, love the starter dumplings and prawn crackers. It was very busy last night and they did an exceptional job serving everyone quickly and efficiently. love their sticky rice too! Pricing is very reasonable too!

We always enjoy our visits to Ros Thai. It is glaringly obvious when the chef is not Thai. Here, every dish tastes as it would if you had ordered it on Sukumvit Rd-delicious.

Unwelcoming staff on a Saturday lunch time treated us as if we were an inconvenience! Well she was talking on her laptop ! She had a surly face from the get go. It was too much effort for her to explain the opening hours and became impatient with us, but her English was hard to understand. The food was nice and tasty . If you ask for a coffee it’s a bit too much trouble . Sad that staff can ruin someone’s business in this way.

Just fancied a Thai meal, on the way back from the beach spotted Ros Thai. I didn’t exactly get a warm and friendly welcome. So for me this is why I have only given 2 stars as atmosphere is essential in a restaurant. The restaurant is rather tired looking, but the food was decent enough. I had the Green curry and coconut rice, nicely presented, the curry sauce was quite a thin texture, tasty though. The chicken not as soft as I’ve had in say a Chinese restaurant. I think the staff, well the older waitress could be more welcoming, doubt I’d visit again......
