Best Thai food in Sydney!! You have to try this place. The curries are fantastic. Great service. Originally booked for 4 people and then had 2 extras randomly join us. No problems with adjustment. Made us feel very welcome. We had an excellent night.

Another BYO Thai place. Menu is good; large portions and staff are courteous; I liked the Jungle Curry Beef and the mixed vegetables dish was plentiful. The restaurant has an upstairs that seats quite a few tables too. Will definitely return!

Certainly the worst Thai meal I have ever had....picture raw BBQ pork scewers, cold dry dumplings, and a service team that could barely speak a word of English. Nine of us dined and due to the shocking quallity of food, three dishes were refunded and could not be eaten.

Best thai in all of Sydney. Curry puffs and the curries in general are the way to go.

Thai food really is the sexiest there is and this is place offers a good selection. Portions, for me at least, seemed to be on the large side but that did not detract from the quality. Between 6 of us we tried 5 of the starters and 7 of the main courses and only 1 was a bit of a let down - a grilled, stuffed ink fish dish. Chicken green curry was - the dish I judge most thai places on - was well made and on the mild side.

Service was good with the glasses for our BYO wine being changed after every bottle and ice being replaced in the bucket.

Not the sort of place you hang about too long - we were done in just over an hour -but it fills you up, tastes great and does not cost the earth.

Was really impressed with the food, it tasted great and we didn't wait long at all (and this was on a Saturday night). My only problem with the place was that I booked the private room 2 weeks in advance, checked twice with them, only to be called on the day to be told we had too many people for the private room. I insisted that it was fine and they didn't like this too much and one person was quite rude to us. I had been there before and knew that we could fit that amount in. Very yummy food though!!

The food is really great...consistently delicious Thai with enough of the old faithfuls and some more unusual dishes to keep everyone pleased. The balmain bugs are lovely but my favourite is still the pumpkin stirfry with chicken...just beautiful.

Acceptably good Thai. There are better around the area but this one is always consistent and pleasing.

The food was simply sensational!! Service was good and friendly, price was very good however, the ambience wasn't the best. Can't fault the restaurant on this!! We were just unlucky to be sitting next to some very unhappy people!! We would definitely be going back. The Morton Bay Bugs were amazing!!!

I have visited this restaurant many times with greatly varying degrees of satisfaction. On my last visit I could not help but tell the management that food and service were totally unacceptable.....he could not care less.

The food and service at the take away ( Prasits) is miles better. It's a shame because it used to be a great restaurant.
