The Teak House (Thai)
Address:
47-49 Peach Street
Wokingham
Berkshire
RG40 1XJ
Tel: 0118 978 8893
Rating:
Wokingham's one and only Thai restaurant. Well-cooked - if not fairly standard - Thai food in an authentic setting; the restaurant is constructed from teak shipped over from Thailand. The staff are very friendly - in a pseudo-authentic Thai way - and fortunately the menu has been slimmed down from its gargantuan tome. Could be a top (for the town) venue to go for Thai food but suffers from a lack of atmosphere caused by too few customers filling the seats. Part of the reason for this is the cost - way to expensive for what it is and likely to deter many 'drop in for a quick bite' customers. Needs to knock several quid off each main course. To sum up good 'fast' Thai food and service, way too expensive for what it is.

"After arriving, we quickly discover that it's under new management. Unfortunately, I'd have to say it's not for the better.
Service has gone down hill. We both ordered the fish cakes, and were both left with the distinct taste that they were frozen rather than fresh.
Getting our main course then proved problematic. After chasing the staff about our main course my wife’s noodle side dish arrived and my duck dish (no rice for me or curry for my wife yet). We then had to actually send the noodle dish back as it was prawn and not the vegetable one we'd ordered. This was then replaced but still no sign of the missing dishes. After a further chase of these, they arrived but just as we are about to start, we find a large black hair
in the curry.
And so at this point, we walked out. Personally, I would not recommend the Teak House (at least with the current management/chef) to anyone."

"I've read the comments hear with interest and agree the Teak House can be over priced, but their lunch time menu is a real bargain. Just under a tenner for a good choice of dishes with quick service makes it a good choice for a lunchtime bite. If they could transfer this to the evening it would be a real winner."
Dennis from Wokingham, UK. January 11, 2008
"I went to the Teak House with three friends and found the food enjoyable but really nothing special and did not justify the price. The restaurant is fine but there needs to more competition to raise its standards."
Mike from Reading, UK. October 8, 2007
"Nice place and friendly staff but food was nothing special. Could have a good following but too pricey."
Angela from Bracknell, UK. September 28, 2007
"We had a really good meal at the teak house and disagree with it not being value for money. Four of us sat down and had plenty of food, beers and a bottle of wine and only spent £110. The food was lovely and the place was really lively."
Chris from Sandhurst, UK. September 19, 2007
"Food was very good and the house wine went well with the meal, but the bill was a bit of a shocker for what was very much standard Thai food in a standard setting."
