Giggling Squid Reviews 

Food nice , toilets disgusting, judgemental older waiter
...service charge automatically added ,wasnt impressed overall ....

2 days ago I was at Wimbledon giggling squid, at the last day of my London vacation, I unfortunately to be exposed to very crazy argument between two employees and I did not want to remain silent about this injustice I saw.
The guy was shouting at the waitress too loud in front of us so I even know all details of the argument. He was insisting to use spoiled product to serve customers and the waitress was trying to calm him down to not shout out that loud in front of customers and being calm and not using this spoiled product because it’s not healthy. But he never listen her he even threatened her to report, what he was doing was just mobbing and mansplanning. he was shouting at her like if you don’t do what I command you to do, quit the work, etc. I can not believe who let this guy to work in the middle of Wimbledon? I also felt very sorry about her, because she was just trying to do the right thing which is not serving us something unhealthy and spoiled and just because of this, he shouted her for minutes and minutes in front of us. Even after this argument She kept working with her smile and good vibe. I hope this man get reported and be fired. Also I never go to Gigglings again cause if they have this kind of manager, probably that places are not healthy.

The worse chicken satay ever.
The steak and beef dish was appalling for the price. No rice or noodles with it and the staff didn't think to tell us when we ordered.
The food tastes like it's just been microwaved not cooked fresh. If never go back to this restaurant in Winchester.

Kingston Giggling Squid - Terrible Service

We went to the Kingston Giggling Squid last Friday and had the worst experience so far.

The food portions were really small and expensive.

The staff who served our table was impolite and did not smile.

She kept asking us if we wanted more drinks and repeatedly asked if we had finished our food, collecting our plates immediately.

It was the first time we wanted to settle the bill and leave as soon as possible.

I would like to clarify that there were no people waiting for a table and there were not many customers in the restaurant.

I personally do not recommend visiting their Kingston branch.

Shortly after we were seated, a staff member repeatedly asked for our drink order within just 1-2 minutes.
Despite having ordered a substantial amount of food, she persistently inquired if we were finished and attempted to clear our plates prematurely. This behavior made us feel rushed and uncomfortable.

I observed that this staff member did not exhibit the same behavior toward other patrons, raising concerns that her actions might have been racially motivated, as we are all Asian.
There were no queues for tables, and several tables were empty, so there was no apparent need to rush us.

Went to Giggling Squid in Brentwood for the first time. It was my aunt’s birthday who is wheelchairbound and access was very good. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you chef(s). Girls who served us (Emily, Albie )were friendly and accommodating. Adrienne was a super host. (apologies for misspelling of names). Will definitely come again🌟

Very disappointing! went back there after having a lovely meal before but we took 6 family members there to enjoy an evening out. How very disappointed my wife & i at the below average meal, asked some of the group what they thought and they were not impressed either, won't be going back as it seems that you have to guess what the food will be like, substitute starters as choose was already gone (told 10/15 mins later) main courses were just okay but vegetables under cooked - hard, not cooked through, felt guilty so paid for everyone. We go to Thai restaurants all over the country so do know what to expect.

Superb meal and superb service. Wonderful tasting food – for someone who doesn't have much experience of Thai… Great location and all superb in Cambridge…

Visited the Shrewsbury branch, clean and tidy and the service was good.
However - the main course portions we were served were very small and expensive for basic menu meals - not much bigger than the lunch size portions which aren't exactly large - very poor value for money in my opinion. Much better VFM places to eat close-by

Went to the Bishop Stortford branch for a birthday lunch. It was pretty quiet so service was not an issue. I loved the decor and had no complaints about the food. We ordered the small plates and although it looked like a lot of food, when you removed the vegetables there was not as much as it looked. I enjoyed the salmon bites but wasn't keen on the leaves that came with it. We ordered the prawn dishes, squid, fritters and the spring rolls. All the dishes were tasty. It was quite expensive at over £90 considering it was lunch. Thanks to the staff for singing happy birthday to me. I would definitely go back.

Been to to Giggling Squid Shrewsbury a number of times and food very good in general . Wouldnt suggest going on a Friday or Saturday evening. It is, in my opinion overcrowded and very noisy. My last visit with family and friends not a good experience. Felt cramped in to table with little room. 1 starter arrived after long delay and 1 main was also served long after the other 5 meal meals. I contacted manager with my comments and am not happy with his response. Basically he said they have to serve so many on these days it is noisy and very busy. Still feel unhappy that they over stretch themselves. Doubt if I will go back. Sadly I wouldnt now recommend.

Served by Mauro in the Welwyn Garden City restaurant, he was so lovely and welcoming and could not do anymore for us. The food was nice and the actual decoration of the place was so pretty. Thank you Mauro.

Hot liquid food served in aluminium bowls! Aluminium has long been known to be detrimental to health.
Sticky rice served in a plastic bag.

First time using this restaurant in Harbourne.
We received excellent service and quality, tasty food.
Great menu choice and we felt really relaxed in a good atmosphere. We really had an enjoyable first visit. Hopefully will go again soon.
Excellent restaurant.

Lovely tapas style lunch. Hot and tasty. Have had takeaway delivery lunch too and arrived fresh and hot too. Yum!

Expensive for average Thai food..£22 platter was barely enough for 2 ladies. And as for the squid, it did make us giggle because it was like trying to eat cold jelly.

Food lacked authentic flavour and was swimming in oil. Avoid this restaurant. It has a lot of deep fried and oily food without the depth of flavour you expect from Thai food. Never again.

I ordered Prawn and chicken pad thai to go and fried spring roll, both were bland and does not taste thai at all. I cannot taste the fish sauce and tamarind sauce which is the the ingredient that brings out the flavor of the dish. The staff were very nice though.
