  Got potential, spoilt creativity

  Service was great, but food was subpar. Perhaps they tried to be too creative.
  
  The worst item was the tomyam prawn, which was highly un-Thai (lots of cabbage, carrot, no lemongrass); second worst item was the prawn omelette (not aromatic, placed atop a bunch of veges).
  
  The lemongrass drink was super bland.
  
  The roasted Thai pork belly felt like it was pan fried not barbecued.
  
  Mango salad was the saving grace, though it was rather sweet.

  Good food with great but overworked staff

  We were booked for dinner for 6 on May 1 at 8 pm. The place was bursting at its seams and despite having a booking at 8pm , we could only get the staff's attention at 8.15 just for seating. Water was brought to our table after another 15-20 mins. and its a good thing we had snacks and drinks at another place so we were neither too thirsty or hungry. There was another table for 6 or 8 which was vacated just next to us at the same time which had a pile of dirty dishes which were never cleared till the time we were there. I am not sure how many guests were there, full capacity but there was only maybe 3-4 staff who were nice but heavily overworked. The owner is obviously making money but its cruel to make your staff work like that.
  
  No complaints about the food. the portions and food and drinks were good. The service was super slow and we were feeling sorry for the staff who were doing their best. Hope the proprietor takes notice.

  a quick romantic dinner

  We had a great night here. Food was great and tasty... we ordered their Grilled pork, Seafoods fried rice with shrimp paste, beer battered squid would go along with a nice cold beer. Lenji was serving us and she fantastic, free spirit and of course attentive to customer’s need and she also recommend some food that she thinks you should order. Overall the experience was great excellent. Look for her if you had the chance to dine here.

  Worst service...If I owned Gin Khao Bistro I would fire the manager!!!

  I have lived in Singapore for 25 years and was having a weekend staycation at W Sentosa - that was amazing and another review.
  
  We walked past Gin Khao Bistro at 3pm on Saturday and decided to book. The manager, Ayette, greeted us and, despite attempting to book, she told us, "No need. I'll remember you and I'll make sure it is OK."
  
  So we arrived back around 7:30pm, finding the restaurant full except for some tables with "Reserved" on them. We were told by Ayette that we would have to walk around for 10 to 15 minutes before a table would become available. Frustrated, we went to the other restaurants who were all booked out - Saturday night and to be expected...which was why we had attempted to book in the first place.
  
  So instead we went back to the W Sentosa, to Skirt where we spent $400 and had the most incredible meal (read my review about that experience).
  
  I have my own business and if I found out that a staff member of mine had done that to a customer, I would need to find a very good reason to not fire them on the spot.
  
  I believe in voting with my feet and my voice. I will not be patronizing any of the 3 Gin Khao establishments and I hope neither do you.
