Phuket Sawasdee - Dunkerque

We chose this place from all other Asian style restaurants in Columiere simply because of its 5* rating on Tripadvisor. We can only assume now after dining there that friends and family are pump priming the reviews. Possibly the most appalling dining experience ever and I would have given it zero stars had that been an option. Only half the tables were taken yet staff were literally running about frantically creating an air of chaos about the place. We ordered without too much fuss, the wine came... Then the fun started. My partner's entree came first. Which is fine. Some places work like that. As I continued to wait for mine (partner almost finished and having said it was tasteless) some soup was placed in front of me. On bringing the confused waiter back to the table to tell him I actually ordered dim sum, he went to the table next to us (seemingly apologising to them) and recovered my dim sum order from their table! Having finished what were very average dim sum. A pot of sticky rice arrives...after being turned away from another table again in error. Ten minutes later it's still there when the main courses arrive. The first spoonful of rice was obv claggy and cold so I called the waitress over to explain it was cold. She took it away and cheerfully arrived back one minute later with the same rice after throwing it in the microwave, which effectively turned it into simple plain boiled rice. No offer of fresh rice. It wasn't edible so was left. The main courses were no better either being tasteless or in the case of my prawns, overcooked and dry. On trying to explain this to the waitress she bluntly tells me, she doesn't speak much English and that she's too busy with other customers to talk to me now and will deduct the rice from our bill and scurried off how magnanimous and generous of her! After this, we can clearly hear there is a loud argument in the kitchen with the waitress and cooks shouting at each other. On approaching the counter to pay as we leave, she sees me take a good look inside (the filthy and chaotic kitchen) and slams the door as she comes out. Seems she's not too busy to take our payment. After what was effectively a stand up row with us about how much we're willing to pay for the garbage they served up, she accuses us (in front of all other diners) of simply wanting free food. I offered for her to call the police so we can discuss it with them again it seems she's too busy to do that or talk to us, scratches one of the entrees off the bill and we simply settle it and leave with her still shouting something in French as we leave... Never to return. Lousy food, lousy service and a lousy attitude. She wanted sacking on the spot. Left wondering now how we can trust tripadvisor reviews in the future...
