On a Tuesday night, I came here with my boyfriend because my boyfriend recommended this place. He used to go here, and always recommended this place as a great Thai restaurant in Sydney CBD. However, the whole experience at ‘Home’ was subpar. The service was terrible and the experience cumbersome; almost borderline misleading. Firstly, the menu. They do not have the price next to the photos of the dishes! You had to cross-reference the photos with the first few pages. LIke, how hard is it to put prices next to the dish photos, and have a separate page for ‘lunch specials’. Secondly, after ordering, the table next to us (mind you, these were two white males) also ordered food (around 5 mins afterward), and they received their food much faster than us. We got the penang curry WITHOUT the rice, and the rice wouldn’t have come, if not for my boyfriend coming over to the kitchen to ask for it ourselves. And even then, it took them a while to even notice my boyfriend STANDING with the receipt. The only saving grace was that the food was not too bad. It was palatable. I hope things get better.

I went here today. The restaurant wasn’t too busy. The service was terrible. I told the waitress i was ready to order. She said “one second.” My partner and I waited 15 minutes for the waitress to come again but she didn’t. I called the attention of another waiter. We ordered our food but we told him we will order something else later. The waiter then came to us with an eftpos portable machine and charged us with the surcharge for the dish we ordered. We were not aware of the surcharge on top of the meal price until after we paid. This led us to not want to order again as we were not communicated of the surcharge on our meal. We then received our order and the waiter placed the dish on our table. One doughnut dropped onto our table. He only apologised…i was really not happy with this. He could have replaced the doughnut that he dropped on the table but he didn’t. We were also not offered cutleries and the waiters were busy so i had to take the cutleries from the other table. I was very unimpressed with the inadequate service and poor communication in this restaurant. We will not be back here again.

Decent, average-to-good & quick service, expect to be rushed during peak times My family and I have eaten at this restaurant quite a few times over the years for dinner. It has been and still is quite a hot spot, with queues almost every time I've dined there or when I'm walking past (you write your name on the list and wait for your number to be called). There also seems to be lots of take away orders, with many people standing outside waiting to collect their food. The restaurant is two (and a half - there is a small mid level with a few tables on it) levels with large glass windows at the front. The kitchen is visible from outside, when you walk in and from the second level - so you can see everything they do! A nice casual setting suitable for family lunchs/dinners, catching up with friends (though noise levels are high since tables are close together, and walls rebound a lot of sound, so conversing can be difficult if you're not borderline shouting, so not recommended for romantic dinners or if you prefer quiet environments). Lights are moderately dimmed.

I used to dine here frequently back in 2010 and consistently years after that. It was my go to place for Thai due to its authenticity. I often used to rave about how awesome this Thai place was being Thai born myself. Anyhow went for dinner tonight and I ordered my to die for dish Som Tum salty Crab with Anchovy. I was extremely DISAPPOINTED! Not to mention how sickly sweet the salad dish came out. I couldn’t force myself to eat it so I forced my husband as I didn’t want to waste a meal. I notified the waiter speaking in thai to him but they didn’t seem to care nor did they apologise or try to rectify it. The service is not so great anymore. It’s a shame. I used to brag about how awesome this place was but sadly I was left with a negative impression. I don’t think I’ll be visiting again anytime soon. I don’t think many true Thai ‘s would be pleased either.

Home Thai has always been one of our favourite Thai restaurants in the city. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the food is definitely worth it! The pad see ew is one of our faves: perfectly seasoned & with a nice char on the noodles. I was also pleasantly surprised by the som tum salty crab: it had a deep umami/seafood flavour and it was very tasty and refreshing. The Tom Yum prawn was comforting and with a nice sourness; however, the pineapple fried rice was a bit disappointing - it was a little bland, and missed that umami & savoury flavour I was expecting from a Thai fried rice. For desserts, we definitely recommend their Thai donuts & sticky rice (either mango or durian). They are truly amazing!

[HOME THAI SYDNEY] Price: AUD 30 - 50 pp Tasty: 8.5/10. The taste was very good, especially the pad thai and papaya salad ( don’t remember the exact name ). Really impressed padthai for the tough noodle, fresh shrimp and such an reasonable tasty sauce. Portion size: large. For 2 people, should order 1 salad, 1 rice or noodle, 1 main dish and maybe 1 dessert. Service: 6/10. Nice staff, very fast serving. However, customer will have to order at pay corner, there will be no one come and take your order. The order of serving was not really customer centric. We had pad thai first, then curry rice, then finally salad . It’ a bit weird, right? Comeback again? Yes, because I like the food. #sydneyfood #homethai #thaifoodstagram

Ordered the shrimp paste morning glory, pork belly with Chinese broccoli, Thai fried chicken wings, bbq pork neck and chicken mince with Thai basil. My partner and I regularly eat at Thai restaurants and this one is not quite up there. The food was quite average and none of the dishes had any wow factor. Our all time favourite go to dish is pork belly with Chinese broccoli and this one just tasted weird. The morning glory was ok, the pork neck wasn't as flavourful as I had expected. The pork mince and basil was ok (nothing spectacular). The fried chicken was pretty decent and portion sizes were decent. Service can also be improved. I felt a bit of attitude from our server/manager. Like tone it down a notch if you want any customers to return…. just some friendly advice. Like we lost our appetites before the food even arrived.

  • alfonsa sheila

One of the best thai food in Sydney, we ordered pinaple seafood fried rice, prawn tom yum with coconut milk, baramundi and soy fish salad (hope this correct) , prik king pork belly and hainam chicken rice. Hainam rice is to hot (taste lot of pepper) the chicken taste good moist and tender. Fried rice portion is quite big (can eat for 3-4 person) seafood are squid and big prawns taste ok. Prik king pork were great taste and crunchy skin and tender meat. (You should order this). Prawn tomyum with coconut milk taste ok but it will be better if they would add more mushrooms in it. The fried baramundi with salad was good Love the taste of the papaya salad so crunchy and went well with the fish.

If I can give zero or minus 1 star I will definitely do it. I work for urban spoon as one of their food critic analyser and this Thai restaurant is by far the worse in Sydney with their bad attitude staff. They have enough staff but none of them is willing to do any work. The worse staff is Michelle who only collect money at the tilt. Her face is black if you ask her a question. She will charge you 3 dollars per person on the weekend labelled as 'weekend surcharge' which is like a force tip for the staff. Absolutely unacceptable like Highway Robbery from this restaurant. The owner need to wake up to themselves and lots of things needs to be change or close doors soon. I will definitely not be coming back to Home Thai ever again.

Great food and portion sizes at a decent price. Food is served quickly with only a short waiting time. The massaman beef curry was delicious, and on the sweeter side for those prefer the sweet version over the spicy. The Thai milk tea was also yummy. It’s no wonder there’s often a queue outside. If you are new to this restaurant, food is ordered and paid in advance at the counter. The restaurant can be quite cramped when full. This makes it a bit awkward if you want to add to your order, so it’s best to get everything you want upfront to avoid running back and forth, squeezing between tables. A good place to get a quick meal.

I've come here multiple times over the last 5 years with friends, and always had a positive experience.... Today, I was disappointed with 2 meals ordered by my group. 1) Soft shell crab with salad. It tasted Ok, with reasonable portion size, but I've had better versions of this dish (for similar price) at other thai restaurants 2) Red duck curry. This was very disappointing. I've ordered this at Home previously and been satisfied, but today was terrible! The portions were small (not much duck meat or pineapple). The duck meat looked and tasted old and stale, and the sauce/spices were underwhelming. I'm hoping this will be a one off negative experience, in which case I'll update my review to be positive next time.

Nice quaint joint. When we enter we were told up front that we needed to pay in cash or use PayID/bank transfer - we appreciated this disclosure of information. Had an early dinner and arrived just before 5:30pm. Shortly, by 5:30, the downstairs floor became packed! The food was authentic - Ordered pad thai and lard na. Asked for dried chilli to add to the lard na and we received a 4x condiment carrier that also had sugar (which was used in when consuming pad thai). The pad thai was spicy but with the sugar added, not only did it enhance the flavour in sweetness, had to add dried chilli for spice!

Been here twice, the first time we came they said they didn't have almost 70% of the options on the menu, and that they didn't have chicken either. Came again today after making a reservation for 10 people, we confirmed the booking on Monday and then again earlier today. They told us we had to be here by 7.30 or they'll release the table, we get here at 7.20 and they told us to put our name on a waiting list that would take 30-40 minutes as the staff that made the booking didn't inform the manager. They were absolutely unapologetic and took no particular responsibility for messing up our booking. Not coming back here. Do not recommend.

Love this place. Friendly staff, cute & cozy atmosphere and the food is fresh & delicious! Best Thai restaurant in Sydney. In my humble opinion. This place is always busy and it is a small little place not too far from Darling Harbor and China Town. Eat in or take out. I chose take out this time. ( make sure you ask for utensils for take out. I didn’t even think to ask, luckily I had some in my hotel room.). If you’re feeling like authentic Thai food in Sydney. This is the place. Don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

My friend and I dine for the very first time tonight in Home Thai and I have to say we were very disappointed with the servis. Firstly we have chosen table for 4people although we were just 2 of us but because of big shopping from city we have decided to sit in bigger table.. Girl which served us show us very rudely that we can not take this table as we are just two and table is for four. Such a stupid especially because when we entered the restaurant place was from more than half empty. Secondly we have received our entry as a last after our main food. I have to say the food quality was really good so maybe I will return back if I will be around. But they should definitely do some improvement in their services.

  • Nancy Indahwati

One of best thai restaurant in Sydney. Always busy during lunch or dinner so it is best to come bit earlier to avoid the queue. Price is okay Serving: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 We ordered: Crispy Pork Belly in Pik king sauce - the pork belly is crispy and sauce is really tasty Pad Thai Glass Noodle - my sister said only this place can cook this one and it is really delicious so worth to try. Durian Sticky Rice - generous serving for the durian because other restaurant only give a little bit of durian Soft Shell Crab Curry - first time to try this and i think is really delicious. the yellow curry is very thick and tasty

Home Thai used to be excellent but quality seems to have slipped slightly. It's super busy on weekday lunches of course but our meals came out at totally different times. Eating on a weeknight was fairly quiet and they made us prepay cash or PayID at the table which was so awkward and rude. Meals were a little plain as if they have become more basic for local tastes but it's a shame. Made a few errors like forgetting drinks or cutlery but still decent service. Update: Removed stars after my second bad experience this year, won't be back.

Guys .. don't reinvent the wheel! Pad Thai is supposed to be sweet and the noodles bouncy.. not spicy and with spaghetti noodles! Sorry, but taking a bold look at the old classic pad Thai does not work! It's not an old loved classic for nothing! Cashew stiff fry was just meh. It's wasn't too note worthy. Ok, enough of the negatives. Here are some positives: massam curry was absolutely delicious!! Slightly sweet all super contentful! It feels very soulful! We ordered delivery, so I can't say much about the atmosphere or service.

Pretty disappointing experience overall They charge a weekend fee for a normal Saturday on top. A fee for the take away box as well. The physical menu have no prices on them and the QR code doesn’t allow you to pay from your phone. You have to go down to the cashier to pay as they also do not take your order for you. The food portions are good and the food itself is decent nothing amazing. Better off going to a better Thai place that cares about their customers and actually provides customer service as well.

Saturday night, first in best dressed. It gets busy folks so min 10-15 wait. More for smaller tables (they prioritise bigger tables). Chaotic energy during peak hours but staff still remain composure and friendliness. We got the Chicken Panang Curry with a serving of sticky rice and a stir fried spicy noodle (pad kee mao) with seafood. All recommend. No joke with the spice levels indicated on the menu. Also got Chrysanthemum tea (too sweet, diluted with tap water) and Logan Tisane (subtle but wonderful). Besides the waiting, would definitely return to try other meals! 50c takeaway box

Always my go-to whenever I go to Sydney. My family all love the place. In my opinion, their price point well matched the huge portion and the delicious flavor they offer. They also serve the food quickly and the employees are all very nice and friendly. Whenever I visit the place, it’s always crowded, so I’d recommend reserving beforehand, especially if it’s for 4 people or more. The only downside is they have separate restrooms, so whenever you need to go, you have to ask the employee for the key. The restroom itself is very clean, and although separate, it’s close by.

I’ve tried many Thai places but this is one of the best if you are walking past or you are travelling to Sydney should stop here to try this place Sensational service fresh amazing food From the moment you walk in to the moment you walked out sitting upstairs overlooking the kitchen was amazing to see the production of prep everything is very clean One thing only instead of rushing all the food to one table you have to do it in sections Entrees mains desert That is only one criticism that you need to take a board As you can see with ordered 10 dishes with one bottle of wine and all came in at once’s And will came again

  • Madeleine DrinksTea

One of the most enjoyable Thai meals I've had in some time. The duck salad was OK, but the crispy pork belly was perfection - fatty, crispy, umami, spicy and slightly sweet. The Thai milk tea was notable - instead of being a generic orange colour, it was marbled with spiced syrup. The prices were higher than I'm used to in Melbourne, but the servings were huge and seemed reasonable compared to the prices of other restaurants in the area. Very bustling vibe.

Servings were a lot generous compared to other restaurants. We ordered Chicken Fried Rice which is really good. We also had Mixed Vegetables and Pad See Ew. We wanted to have chicken instead of pork for the Pad See Ew but we were told there's an $3 charge for chicken. That put us off. It isn't like extra meat, it was just a replacement. Food prices also blow up on weekends, and no eftpos when we came. Overall, food was good. But service is just ok.

Too rushed and cramped. Food was good but it's a bit pricey. The quality of the food was pretty good and it tasted good. The dad part was that since they want to fit as many people as they can the place is cramped. On top of that, for every order we have to get off the seat which makes it painful in the compact place. Also there is no card purchase, extra overhead to do a bank transfer. It's not a good experience if you want to have relaxed fine dining.

Everything was great expect the customer service. The attitude from the person taking our orders was wow, it just seemed like she was in a hurry to get done taking our orders but the restaurant was not even busy at all so I don't understand. The wait for the food was not even 5 minutes which honestly seemed like they reheated an already made curry but the taste was good so I don't mind the quick service. The place is really cosy to go with your friends and family. The prices are decent and they have a good variety of dishes. All this place needs is a better customer service.

  • Chicca Fumagalli

Thai is not my favourite type of food, but if you like it I can tell you’ll like this restaurant. I tasted all the food we ordered and everything was pretty good. I was just disappointed about my dish because I asked to the waitress if they could make it not spicy, she told me that it was ok, but then my dish was spicy. Also the waitresses never looked in our way every time we needed them. I understand they were busy, but more than once we stood shaking our arms, calling them and they didn’t move their eyes from what they were doing. They should check the clients sometime.

  • Cedric Lim

It's a 1 star + 4 star experience on food! I ordered a (beef) ketchup stir fried rice noodles aka Phat Thai. For me, a Thai restaurant must always be measured by the standard staple meal. If a simple Phat Thai cannot deliver, it's not worth to try the rest. BUT! The 4 star goes to Tub Tim Grob, it's not that innocent looking one shown in the menu. It's a giant for 2 with huge marble size rubies. Crunch in every bite, coconut milk is thick and nice! Why only 4star, cos the jackfruit is turning stale and bitter.

Food is undoubtedly good, been eating here 10 years. However, I want to write this review to flag the chemical product you guys use to clean the table, it seriously has a very strong smell and very unpleasant for the one that has a sensitive nose like me. Pardon me but it smells like urine :( and it is persistently circulated in the restaurant’s surrounding air so please consider using different product for cleaning otherwise 5/5

The food was excellent and probably among the best Thai food I ever have. Service and atmosphere wise, the place was chaotic and borderline to disaster. It is more a place to eat and run, not having company with friends and family. Food wise alone, it deserves a 5-star. Unfortunately, I have to rate this place lower because of the chaotic service and atmosphere. That being said, if you just want to eat and run, the food here is something you would enjoy.

Great Thai food but watch out it can get crazy hot!!!. The lamb satays were yummy as well as the red sauce and dish. The papaya salad was tasty, but oh my god was it hot. So was another wide noodle dish with prawns. It was super spicy but we ate it all. Over all it was delicious, but next time I'll ask for mild. We got there around 8pm and there were 20 people on the list ahead of us. We were worries at first but the line went fast. Once they took our order the wait was less than 5 minutes before the first entree was delivered. Have a great meal!

  • Chris T

**Update: They have recently added fantastic lunch options at affordable prices. Recommend the grilled pork neck with rice. Also the pad Thai and the curries. Great place and one of my favs for Thai cuisine. Alot of tasty dishes that are delicious and authentic in flavour. Quick service though the restaurant is usually packed. In my recent visit, I ordered the pork neck, papaya salad, pad see ew, tom yum seafood, chicken wings and mango sticky rice. Just beware of the long ques and wait times... however, it will be worth the wait.

  • Moonyong Kim

Food was ok. Quite pricey. Pineapple fried rice is probably just average or below. Weekend cost of like 5% extra. Don't take any card. The restaurant is quite famous. I've been here a few times but I can also see that they try to make every penny. Takeaway container was extra 55cents. Don't feel the same good impression as before, so I may look for an alternative option

Food was good, I really enjoyed Massaman. However as a restaurant, I would not recommend this place. Service was terrible, had to wait for 15 minutes and at the end had to go find the waiter to come take our order. They charged upfront and made us go to counter to pay. Not a restaurant experience at all. And then food came but again we had chase someone for cutlery.

The first time they didn’t let us in because we were 3 minutes late, the last call is 8:30, and we arrived at 8:33. We returned another night as we were in the neighborhood, it had a long waiting list, but it was quick. We ordered pineapple fried rice with vegetables, fried noodle with seafood and at home cocktail. The food was mediocre, nothing special about it, and the drink was all ice (as you see it finished before the food arrived). I don’t think that it is worth the wait.

Generally we can’t complain about this place because of the portion and price. But as the rating and social media going crazy about how good the food is in here i put such a high expectation in the quality of food and I was a little disappointed. Anyway food is average and service was better than what most of other people rated

The service sucks. I've been calling, raised my hand to call to order. No one came and cared. So i approched the sales and ordered from the cashier, and told them you were supposed to let me know where to order. The food came one by one and took a long time for the next dish. The rice plate was really small it was even hard to put other food on the same plate.

Hands down best Thai food in Sydney. My husband wasn’t a huge fan of Thai, but after coming here he was hooked and always wants to return. Everything I’ve had is delicious. Especially the cashew nut chicken! And the prices are incredible for the amount of food you get. Must stop place in the area!! We love home Thai. Also - the service is really quick. Sometimes you have to wait for a table (good sign that it’s so popular) but once you sit the food comes so fast!

Pork belly is really crispy and great taste! Pad kee mao has a decent level of spiciness and suitable for my preference. Very fast service - the food was ready in 5 min after we ordered. Visited on Sunday lunch time around 1pm or so. Had to pay via PayID as EFTPOS wasn't available. 10% surcharge for Sunday

Very good Thai food to satisfy a craving. The lunch portions were unexpectedly big! We had pad Thai, crispy pork belly, pad sew, green curry chicken and grilled pork neck. My favourite was the crispy pork belly which had a good kick and went really well with rice. The Thai milk tea was standard, no surprises. Would go back again.

Out of the 4 dishes that we ordered, the fish and vegetables were extraordinary. But the salad was a bit too watery and the fried bread was not crispy enough. The service was pretty good and the prices were slightly higher than other Thai restaurants. The place however a bit too cramp. And even though there's supposed to be a toilet next door, it's better to go somewhere else if need be.

Staff are polite enough. You have to pay via "NetBank or cash only"?? It's 2023 please get EFTPOS. Food was very inedible, I've eaten at dozens of Thai restaurants this food was by far the worst. We had 4 people and no one finish their food. Then we got hit with a Sunday surcharge to make matters worse. Please eat elsewhere.

Got charged weekend service fee, and GST was on top and not included. Not sure why we got charged a weekend staff service fee, when staff made us get our own water, and we had to order from the counter and staff were impatient and rude. Food portions were big and food was good too.

While all looks yummy on the menu pictures two out three my choices were not available. Nothing special were asked Thai beef/duck salad and pad see ew with duck which I believe to be Thai “classics”. And it’s just 7.30pm Saturday night. Hospitality not too awesome. Understandable business but, but… finally waiting time is a bit of disappointment. Maybe it’s only me that “lucky” but it’s just not good enough

  • Nui Eaton

Delicious Thai food, this place has always been my favorite and they always deliver! Whether you are with a group or dining for 2, grab a ticket at the front the wait isn't too long. Friendly staff with efficient service, the price is reasonable for the quality of food. This place is always packed but there is fast turn around, recommend the Crispy Pork Belly as a main and Soft Shell crab as entree.

  • Clinton Lewis

Can't say enough about "Home Thai". The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic and atmosphere was very nice. We had the pad Thai, massamun Compliments to the kitchen staff. The price was very competitive and reasonable considering there was 6 of us. Well done. A pity we're only here for the weekend.

Very bad experience for my life, this is my first time I never ever had my mango sticky rice for take away, they use sort way, no hygiene, leave mango skin under sticky rice. More germ come to restaurant now. They have to know about food hygiene, I thought they do not have food handling certificate for they are business. Very worst

Food is delicious; portion is well enough to be shared, clean and tidy restaurant with comfy atmosphere. Service was quick as well. Only one issue we faced was that staffs need to be more attentive as it doesn't look good waitresses are using mobile phones in front of customers while customers are waiting for the service. Hope next time if we visit again; I could give a five star rating.

  • IKM

26 June 2023 The foods are tasty and they come in big potion too. At least for me. The only bad thing is their food doesn't come out with order, like first appetizers, then main, etc Cause my salad came out the last dish, I even had forgotten about the salad that I had ordered.

One of the best Thai restaurants in Sydney city. They’ve been around for a while and made Sydney city their ‘home’. They make all-round good Thai dishes with punches & kicks. Something you immediately notice when you taste food in Thailand. It’s good to see they’re still bringing the good quality of food and I’ll shall return for more. I give this place 4 bears

  • Suzie Lee

Authentic Thai flavours Even on a Wednesday evening, there was a queue outside the restaurant. It took us half an hour to get a table but it was well worth the wait. The food was delicious and redolent with Thai spices - lemongrass, chilli, galangal and coriander. The tom yum with giant king prawns was outstanding and we loved our mango sticky rice dessert.

  • Thomas Ball

These guys are great, serving spectacular food, incredibly rich drinks, and all with a friendly helpful service staff. Kinda gives the vibe of a New York loft, but on the ground floor

Might not be as good as it was a few years ago but the dishes are still tasty and genuine Thai level of spice, I usually have to ask it dialled down a bit. The tom saap here is consistently delicious and always great to warm you up during the cooler days. I have seen it mentioned here, I don’t feel like the tables are distanced out enough in these times.

  • kenneth why

The food flavor here is fantastic. I love spicy and asked them to make my lunch a little spicier than the norm. They rocked it perfect! I had the green curry chicken. It was super yummy. I would highly recommend this place.

It's quite busy.. however be cautious you have to go back down to order for dinner services. The QR code is for lunches only. For dining the staff don't take orders at the table. They screwed up the order and table and provided us with plain rice without food whilst they sorted they f-up!

Had lunch on a weekend and loved it. Got the chicken fried rice and chilli basil beef. Fried rice was really flavourful and complemented the chilli basil beef well. I must say that the chilli basil beef was very hot, so eat it with something more mild to cut the chilli. The Thai milk tea with grass jelly was a great addition to the meal!

  • Food and Travel

Home Thai restaurant located in the Sydney CBD is a must visit, firstly the meals are authentic and flavourful while being reasonably priced, the cost is high but the amount of meat they provide makes up for it, the pork belly was crispy and juicy and the staff were friendly and attentive.

A nice Thai restaurant which has always served up some tasty Thai food. The place gets crowded, so we had to wait a bit after writing down our name on the list outside. Once in, the food is quickly served after you order. The menu is quite good with lot of pictures to help decide. The only downside for me is the surcharge on cards.

  • Enyi

Very busy usually during peak. Food here is large in portion. I highly recommend soft crab on papaya salad. Sour and refreshing! Pad thai is very flavorful with tender chicken. The squid is so so because the sauce is runny and salty egg yolk flavor is very minimal. Pandan sauce and fried dough is great little snack for sharing!

  • Shane Goodwin

Dead set some of the best Thai food I have had in Australia or Thailand. I have been here twice and found the food and service exceptional. The meals come out super quick and waiting times are less than 10 minutes in most cases. I enjoyed the Curries and morning Glory with bean paste. A must do lunch or dinner if in the CBD.

  • Nishant Dundas

My all time favourite Thai place in Sydney! Authentic Thai food with decent portion sizes and amazing flavour compared to other places I've visited. Lines are usually long during lunch and dinner times so expect a wait, however food comes out quickily once you order and is well worth the wait.

The Thai food here is amazing. In particular I like the red curry and the green papaya salad. The place is always busy and a queue outside waiting to be seated. The place does not take reservation you need to show up and register in a list and wait until you number is called.

Terrible service and dining environment. They service totally different size drink with menu pic. The waitress even told me they are same size for sure. Hello? Don’t treat customer like as stupid ok?! The food service is quick, but the flavor just average like as food court.

  • Rajendra Kumar

Heard a lot about this place from reviews and people but was TOTALLY DISAPPOINTING! Very below average taste of chilli basil, crispy pork and cashew chicken. One of our friends still swears by it and says maybe the chef changed or management changed. Not sure if that’s true
