Reviews of Songkran II (8 Gloucester Street, Edinburgh)

We haven't visted this place in a while but used to love the friendly service and fresh food. We visited this time on Hogmanay, the place was busy, the food was ok but for us was let down by the criminal charging of £6 for a bottle of water...disgusting. We double checked with the waiter and he agreed that the price was ridiculous but looked pretty apathetic to it all.

We didn't leave a tip to compensate...sad. Money grabbing at it's best. We won't be back anytime soon.

If you must go, PLEASE ask for TAP!!

The vegetarian food here is always amazing. One of the best Thais in Edinburgh I believe. Abysmal music though! Smoochy 80's ballads. No music would be better!

Went here on a Sunday as an alternative to going to our usual restaurant closer to home. We decided to order the banquet for two. The starter was a selection with prawns, satay skewers, ribs and some processed chicken on toast. While the prawns were good, the rest was reheated, poor quality ingredients which did not go down well. For our mains we were offered a selection with a curry dish, which was okay, but not spectacular; a black bean dish which was overpowering; and a very insipid chicken noodle dish - a replacement for the baked salmon we were promised on the menu. This was finished off with a cup of brown water described as coffee, which we had to wait 20 minutes for, despite being only two of six people in the restaurant.
After making our complaints known, we were offered a mere 3 pounds off our 44 pound meal, by a rather unprofessional head waitress. Needless to say, we will not be going back here and will gladly go back to our old Thai restaurant on Howe Street - once the stomach upset is over!

Have been to Songkran II few times, always enjoyed their food. I would have given 4 stars, if not for the poor service given that it is not a cheap restaurant. The last time we were there when we were getting ready to leave my girl friend was asked to find her coat.
