I totally agree with you, not only are the waiters ill mannered in their attitude, they are also discriminatory towards serving some types of customers. i saw with my own eyes how they turned down customers and discriminated with their servings.
My friends and family never returned to that place.

Affordable and tasty. Worth trying less popular meals, they won’t let you down!

Wandworth Southside Food Court is a weird place. You've got Pizza Hut, Subway, Maccy D, KFC - and then Spur and Ekachai. Both of which I've never seen before.
And it's a shame I've never seen Ekachai before. To sum it up - it's like Wagamama - with bigger portions, and a little cheaper. And therefore - pretty good!
It's always quite busy - which is a sign of quality - so you may end up sharing a table with other people - and your order will be taken quickly and curtly - but I don't take this as a sign of rudeness - it's just efficiency.
You can see more efficiency in the kitchen. Because you can see the kitchen - it's all opened up so you can watch the chefs at work - better than looking at the weirdo you've had to sit next to.
Food includes noodles, curries, soups and other eastern delights - and you can get beer - which - of course puts it above the other eateries. All are pretty delicious and come in a generous portion.
Of all the restaurants in Southside - this is the best.

I love this place. I've been there several times now with a friend and we have always enjoyed our meal. The staff have been top rate and happy to do anything asked or answer questions. Service is quick without feeling rushed and the portions a very good size. The price is also great! When in London Ekachia is a must if I can.
Top marks guys!!

Just went here with a friend and what dissappointing and awful customer service! Was taken to the table and our menus taken by a unwelcoming grumpy and miserable looking waitress. Who rushed us when we were choosing our menus saying the kitchen would be closing very soon. While eating our dishes 3 other couples came who we noticed were neither rushed or told the kitchen would be 'closing' soon. Overral I found the staff and especially that grumpy waitress highly unprofessional and rude and they definitely spoiled our evening.

For a restaurant inside a shopping centre, this is surprisingly good. A cafeteria-style restaurant with an open kitchen, Ekachai serves up a variety of asian dishes from Thai curries to soups and fried dumplings. All that I’ve tried have been very tasty and the portions have been ample. The speed of service and its proximity to the cinema makes it a great place to grab a quick bite before a film.

This is a really unusual Oriental restaurant, which I would highly recommend. One of the things I really liked was the fact that you can watch the food being prepared in front of you, so you know exactly how and where your meal has been made. It’s more authentic than the average Chinese takeaway, and, more importantly, much tastier. The menu has a good range of interesting meals - I had barbeque pork, and my friend had miso soup with tofu. The food was fantastic, the staff really friendly, and the portions were huge. I want to go back so I can try some of the other dishes!

I highly recommend this restaurant. I have gone over and over and have yet to be dissapointed! The Pad Thai is sooo good and the service is excellent time and again. The restaurant has a great vibe and I often get the homemade Lemon Iced Tea which is exceptionally tastey and cheaper than all the other options… And if all this wasn’t enough- there is a cinema just down the way from Ekachai which makes the trip to the Southside Centre, very worthwhile!
