My Review

1 out of 10 stars

This is THE WORST restaurant I have ever gone to, hands down! The floors are sticky and the cramped restaurant smells of old beer and grease, the menus are sticky and covered with film of grease, and the glasses are dirty! The food is of a very poor quality with small portions, in particular the meat I was served was spoiled and overly spiced in a poor attempt to mask its obviously inedible condition (at least not safely edible!) The owner is a cranky old lady that takes no hesitations at swearing at her customers. I certainly would never come here again. You'd be better off going to Mudmee instead, its just down the street but SO much better!

My Review

1 out of 10 stars

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend for a dinner on a weekend. And we both were very shocked with what we heard among the staff. If only those people who frequent this restaurant understand Thai, we're pretty sure they'll never go back to this place ever again. My girlfriend and myself are both Caucasian but lived in Bangkok for 18 years and speak the language fluently. It was our very first time to try not to engage on the same level linguistically with the staff. But we were in for a surprise. We ended up not eating or finishing our main course as we couldn't simply wait to leave. The staff were so irresponsible and couldn't care less about the health of their customers. We heard them saying 'It doesn't matter if it's a spoiled meat, it's cooked well enough and spiced up enough that these drunk people couldn't care less!' They were really having a two-faced service with their customers. As at the kitchen we can hear them not caring about their customers health, whilst at the restaurant floor they were all smiley and friendly. It was so packed then and very noisy that my girlfriend and myself didn't want to make a scene by telling everyone. And so we left. To all people who frequent this place, do you realise that you've probably have been eating rotten meat spiced up with their favorite Thai spices and served with faked or nervous smiles?

My Review

9 out of 10 stars

I go to cafe 209 quite often. We go there bacause te food is delicious, it is a BYO and the owner is the entertainment of the resturant. If you want a laugh with a group of mates for a cheap night out I recommend going there.

This restaurant? A massive NO!!!!!!!!!!! I came in with a friend to try it out and noticed we were the only people and so I asked ' Hello! Are you guys open?' The lady whom I believe is the owner, simply barked us back 'Why does it say close on the door?' Woah, we were simply taken aback by her upfront-ness rude behavior. Then we gave her the benefit of the doubt and stayed and sat as she came towards us placing two sticky and dirty menus. With an accompanied massive sigh. As if to say she's doing us a favor. Then we felt it was really unpleasant and she is quite unfriendly. And so we changed our mind. We stood up as my friend said 'Sorry we changed our minds.' She then again barked us back 'You always change your mind!' This is a woman whom we never met and the place we never been once before. But guess how she followed that sentence with? '**** YOU!' My goodness me.... my oh my, we were so shocked and I came back from the opened door saying 'What did you just say?' Again, she simply replied and repeated '**** YOU!' I then replied to her 'Who are you to talk to me like that?' But then realised I was talking to a mad person. Although, I was really shocked and upset by her rudness. We were laughing of shock and disbelief on outside, whilst a family was reading their menu by the window. Surely, the kids heard her saying those profanity words to us. How delightful. Strange it's still running though. If only people would know. By the way, by saying 'barking', I really mean it, as if she was answering someone back in the middle of an argument.
