Review of Sema Thai

14 Nov 07, 12:23

You can find better Thai food in East Dulwich 3*

We went here for the second time last night, and I have to say I was not overwhelmed by anything about the food or the service. There is one really smiley, sweet waiter who is very efficient, but otherwise there is nothing remarkable about this restaurant other than their impressive fishtank.

It's passable, sure, and the food is good... just not great. After a sizeable wait, of about 25 minutes, you expect excellence. Our Tom Yum soup was acidic and not fiery enough, the Pad Thai somewhat anaemic, and Pad See Eaw distinctly lacking in variety of ingredients. However, starters tend to be very good, even if a bit deep-fried, and my pork and prawn dumplings were very tasty.

Thai Corner Cafe, around the corner on North Cross Road, defintiely has the edge over Sema Thai. It's still a good option, though, and if you're on Lordship Lane and feeling peckish, you could do much worse.

Best thing about where I live The shops and cafes on North Cross Road. The fact that East Dulwich does not tolerate large shop chains. The cheap-as-chips Mondays at the Peckham Multiplex. Oh, and Dulwich Park.
Worst thing about where I live The state of the floors at Peckham Rye station. Really guys, sort it out. Um, and welovelocal people? I don't live in Nunhead!
