I go here for dinner with the girls and we usually order a cocktail or two (to die for) and the chicken pad see ew very filling and tasty. If I go with my partner we get an entree I order the spring rolls and he orders the money bags, his favorite dish is the sizzling seafood also filling and tasty. Staff are very at tentative and friendly. Well worth a try.

I got take away last night. The service staff were friendly although very busy. 2 mains and rice was $50, however, the food was delicious, and unique. I will become a regular.

Not that authentic. The Pad Thai was too sweet, the papaya salad had too much dressing and watery. The last straw came when we asked for some chili sauce and was told that it would be charged $1.00! This is totally ridiculous given the pricey menu. We should have gone to the food court and the chili sauce would be free of charge. Don't think we will go back there again.

Just overwhelmingly average, with slightly too high prices. If it were a cheap-and-cheerful takeaway I could forgive Absolute Thai for their generally bland food and low-ish quality ingredients, but they're too pricey to be let off. Went there for pre-movie dinner and left totally underwhelmed - Staff were attentive enough, but the place is a little bit cavernous (high ceiling I think). I had the Beef Massuman, dining companion had green Chicken Curry. Both a disappointing 5-6/10, at 8/10 prices.

Had lunch here today, veg spring rolls, tofu curry and chili and basil prawn, and all washed down with some Cascade beers. Service was quick and efficient, and the food was reasonably priced.

This used to be our favourite Thai restaurant in Hornsby. The last couple of take away experiences have been dreadful. Last night we tried again hoping it was just a one off bad experience. We ordered chicken chilli basil with green peppercorns and satay beef. The beef was precooked cold chewy tasteless bits of beef with a large tub of satay sauce to throw over the top. The chicken was almost as bad and there were no green peppercorns (after confirming this point 3 times on the phone at time of ordering). Its a shame, this restaurant used to be great, we'll be looking for another Thai restaurant in our area.

Good place for good Thai food, the place can get a bit noisy and bustling and the outdoor music might not be to everyones taste.

We went to this place a couple of months ago and found the experience quite average. The food is very nice but the service was not. It was as if they didn't want us there. I'm not sure I will be back. Go and try the food but be prepared for below average service.

Great experience. Have not been to this restaurant for a while. The food was really nice, I had the steamed seafood in young coconut, which was delicious. My wife had the massaman beef. We had the large steamed rice with this.

Overall the food was great and the portions ample. I like to eat but we actually took some of the massaman and rice home. Finished off with deep fried ice cream.
The service was quite good considering that the place was pretty full. We had our water replenished whenever we ran out.

The wait staff kept me informed about my dish as it was taking some time to come out, though it was nice to know the status of the meal. I'm going back again tonight. So we'll see how it backs up.
