Doytao Thai

Looks like a pattern of rudeness here! Went in tonight just before 6pm, nobody in the restaurant. Waitress had a gruff demeanor and sat is in the furthest back corner of the restaurant, no problem I am hungry and guess she had her reasons. She brings us a bottle of tap water, it's cold and raining outside and my partner only drinks hot water so I politely ask the waitress if we could get some hot water please. The waitress rudely told me no, if I want tea then she boil the water for that only. I stumbled at that and she saw and then proceeded to lecture me that there is no instant boil water and that she would need to boil it and was not accomodating to that simplest of requests. So with that I got up with my partner and walked out with stone faced waitress following behind without ever mentioning a word again to me. She was more interested in watching other staff repair rainwater leaks than to offer us simple basic service. I have never been to the Croydon store before tonight as I have been a loyal customer of Newtown store for the past 12 years. I enjoyed the fact that her attitude to boil a lousy cup of hot water for my partner cost the business my good money. I only eat prawns and was also intending to order food for my lunch the next day to take to work. She saved me about $100 so I am thankful and will never return here again!

Came here for lunch. Happy with the food. We ordered the stuffed chicken wings, spring rolls, mixed seafood pot and some chilli vegetable rice. All was cooked good as expected and was tasty. Would come back for the food. Restaurant was clean and well presented. I have given 4 stars as I feel staff could have paid a little more attention. It was not busy. Staff were sitting chatting to each. We showed ourselves to a table and apart from taking our order and delivering our food they ignored us. I didn't mind that much, as, like I said the food was good.
