Wang Thai (Sandton City) – A restaurant review

I have two dreams. One is to write the next great South African novel. The second, to eat at a restaurant with the word ‘wang’ in it’s name. On Tuesday night, my second dream came true.

Brace yourself, here’s a restaurant review.

First of all, the tables. They are padded. This is genius. If you have finished your meal and you need a little snooze just shift your plate forward and settle down for a nap. This is so genius I will be lobbying management to replace all our hard wooden desks with nice padded ones.

Second, the food. It’s great. It tastes really nice, which is a good thing for a restaurant with the word ‘wang’ in its name. It’s really well priced too. How often have you eaten at a restaurant and wondered why there are serial numbers next to all the items on the menu? That won’t happen here.

But it can’t all be roses and moonshine right? True. So what is the essential ingredient missing from this Thai establishment? I will tell you. Thai people. There are no Asian people there at all. It’s kind of like Hiroshima on August 7, 1945.

Anyway, book, eat, swoon. Phone this number (011) 784 8484. Say, “I want to eat outside!”
