Default King and I Thai, Southampton, UK

The King and I Thai.

NEVER EAT HERE. I went here with my girlfriend last Saturday night,
after being impressed with their =A310 meal deal sign on the outside of
the building (a starter and a main course for =A310).

After sitting down we noticed inside the menu that this offer did not
apply at weekends. After explaining to the waiter we only really
wanted to eat in this restuarant becuase of the =A310 deal, he told us
he would let it go, and offered us the said deal. What a nice man we
thought! We ordered a bottle of red wine.

When he arrived with the wine, and had opened the bottle, he then
explained to us the =A310 deal did not include starters! WHAT?! This
means this "deal" entitles us to ONE MAIN course for =A310! Many of the
courses were about =A37, meaning this "deal" means we have to pay =A33
extra!

Obviously unimpressed with this, we got up to leave. Whilst putting my
coat on, I asked the waiter (who I think was also the manager) what his
name was, and he outright refused to tell me, clearly knowing he was
trying to take advantage of us, and didn't want us to make a fool of
him in the media.

Look out for this waiter/manager guy. He is a confidence trickster and
is not to be trusted. He deliberately waited until he opened out
bottle of wine before telling us the cost of the meal had dramatically
increased.

Avoid.
