I had Pad Thai and my colleague had teriyaki salmon and both dishes were delicious! Unfortunately we didn't get the prawn crackers we ordered but the polite staff apologised and refunded the cost of these. Will definitely visit again

We used to love the food at the White Lyon and Dragon but we were disappointed on this visit. It seems that the restaurant is under new management. The lamb massaman curry had chewy lamb that look as if it had been cooked in a microwave. The salt and pepper squid also tasted as if it had been bought as a ready meal. The jungle curry was a watery soup with out any flavour or spicy warmth. We will not be going back.

It may look like a pub from the outside, and it is indeed a pub too, with a wide selection of drinks, but as a restaurant it's a nice atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food, definitely to be recommended in the Guildford/ Woking area

We love the food here. It's local, tasty and reasonably priced. Service was slow on our last visit, for a Saturday night they seemed short staffed.

Very welcoming but unusually poor service after that even though it wasn't busy. Much reduced menu now, and many of our favourites have gone. Lukewarm food that also lacked taste. Sadly not what it used to be.

The White Lyon and Dragon, local, plenty of parking, excellent service and the food was delicious. Busy which gave the restaurant more atmosphere but not noisy We have been before and will definitely go again. Booking through Quandoo was so easy. Slightly disappointed they do not take the Diamond Card anymore but a real treat. Would recommend going.

The whole dining experience at The White Lyon & Dragon is made even better by the attentive staff. The quality of the food is without question... which I why we recommend this establishment to colleagues, friends and neighbours. It is well worth spending that bit extra.

Food was amazing! The Laska was quite honestly the most gorgeous thing I've ever eaten! Everything we ordered was perfect. It's not the cheapest but the quality is high. Only downside is having to wade through a load of drunken 'Locals' to get to the restaurant. Broken glasses, swearing etc etc. I wouldn't want to bring my parents here thats for sure. Shame. Think about proper separation guys if you want the excellent restaurant to be taken seriously. You can't expect such a quality restaurant to thrive when you have to endure the locals to get in. (We even went on a "Quiet" Sunday evening!

Everything wonderful as usual except for a new male member of waiting staff who was pretty miserable and not at all friendly. Not the usual standard of staff here.

Great food, not the best environment and the staff are how can I describe it... interesting on our last visit... we overheard the life story of one of the senior members of staff who was telling another member of staff all about his day and night before across the restaurant for everyone to hear!

It was disappointing when a group have used this venue for at least seven years. The starter took an hour to arrive then main course was cold. The manager reimbursed us and we will return one more time only.

The food is always lovely and there is a quiet, relaxed atmosphere which is perfect for enjoying the extra food you can order with a tastecard! The service is discreet, efficient and friendly. A favourite with our family and friends.

We arrived at 20:30 on a busy Saturday. Decor was very elegant and tai ( like) , we where seated and offered drinks and crackers . The waitress talked through the menu and we all (4) ordered differently. The food came out quickly and what a delight it was , one of the best tai restaurants I've been to and will definitely return ! We had 3 drinks each starter and mains with sides , the bill was about £130 without the tip ! 👍🏼

A well-run venue that is deservedly popular. The Thai cuisine on offer is served with a smile, and is authentic - fans of hot food will not be disappointed, whilst those who prefer a quieter approach to food are catered for equally well.

Unfortunately, this time the service was very bad. I had to get up from the table after our starter had been sitting on the table for,10 mins to get the wine. I had to ask for the second plate and when it arrived my chicken had obviously been cooked and reheated, it was tough. My coffee arrived and we had to call the waitress over for my friends. They were very busy but being two women we were ignored, and I could not get anyone's attention at any time.

Excellent service and food is divine. Customer service at time of booking was very good as I received a phone call within 5 minutes of automated confirmation to say that there may be a small delay when we arrived. Very happy to know but on the day it never happened and we were seated promptly. Will definitely visit again soon.

Quandoo Diner7 years ago · 1 review

Quite simply - terrible service!!! Food was not bad. But there are definitely some better Thai restaurants around Guildford and Woking. As mentioned the service was the worse I've seen in a long time. Firstly, we were greeted and taken to our table by the bar man!! The head or main waitress couldn't bothered to greet anyone it seems. After the food arrived the waitress didn't seem to want to serve our table properly. She consequently delivered our food and drinks at the end of table where we ended up serving ourselves! At the end of our lunch it seem to take a while for the bill to arrive. When the bill did arrive we were shocked to find a £6 discount. We mentioned this to the same waitress, thinking this was a apology for the lack of service. The waitress then suddenly said 'oh this is incorrect' and then disappeared. Only to return with an updated bill without the discount!! We were completely taken a back by this rudeness from the waitress. We all agreed that we will never return to this restaurant!!!
