We ordered takeaway for 8 people the other night and we all had the exact money for our meals in a kitty. When we got there it was about $5 more than we had.. we asked for a receipt and were denied a bill! Went back the next day and confronted them with a menu and the numbers and we were told that it was because we had left a tip?! I thought that was quite dishonest of them and really unnecessary as we are locals and were regulars.

I've been a regular customer of Doytao Newtown for a few months. That was until today when I ordered the "Chicken Pad Thai chicken with prawn." Now when I first checked this on the menu it said "with prawn". What it should say is "with 1 prawn".
My friend and I were appalled at how misleading this was. We were expecting more than 1 prawn. They said that most Thai restaurants would only give you chicken. For the $9.50 we could go to most other Thai restaurants for lunch and get a Pad Thai Chicken for around $8.00. That means we are getting ripped off.
I was willing to give this restaurant a good review for the stir frys which in my opinion are good value for money. If you go there stick to stir fry which represents far better value for money. I will not be returning to Doytao Thai any time soon.

Previous Review, December 2007: I've visited Doytao numerous times (go at night for the volcanic chicken!) Last visited on Saturday afternoon, luckily it wasn't too packed (otherwise you have to shout to make yourself heard). My $7.50 lunch special (red curry, lamb) was awesome. I've never quite had red curry like this before, sweet, moreish, delish! The portion rice was too small though and swimming in too much sauce. (My friend's seafood laksa ($14.50), according to him, was nice, but they used vermicelli noodles instead of hokkien.
Service was very friendly, a bit basic as is the case at most King St Thai eateries. Atmosphere = 5/10 because we were seated rather close to King St and were treated to buses going up and down the main road. Good value but I think Thai La Ong's $6 lunch special is a better deal. Bigger portions and cheaper. Then again, there isn't as much competition on South king st...
Update July 08: We revisited Doytao with a group of 7 people. Despite having booked a table for 7 people at 12pm, my only gribe is that they gave us an extremely small table that we had to cram ourselves around. This is despite the restaurant being less than half full at the time. I understand that the place does fill up rapidly but surely they should treat valued customers, those who book ahead of time, with a bit more generosity! The meal consisted of much juggling of plates due to the lack of table space. However the food is still delicious and the staff fairly attentive considering how busy it gets.

I’ve been here many times over many years and still keep going back. It’s not the best Thai place I’ve ever eaten at but it comes close. The service is fast, portions are big (even bigger and cheaper at lunch) and the prices are pretty good. This is not the place to go for a quiet intimate dinner however. It’s very noisy. I will keep going back here.

This is an incredibly busy place on a weekend night. We were lucky to get the last free table, on the proviso that we cleared out within an hour to make way for a booking.
Despite the frenetic pace, the staff do manage to get around to everyone, and we were served by a friendly and most hospitable waitress who dealt patiently with our varying tolerance levels to chilli. Her recommendations were all spot-on, with delectable curry puffs, spectacular volcanic chicken, stir-fried ginger chicken and duck salad.
We'll definitely be returning - next time with a booking!

I gave it 5 for food because some dishes are great, and some are pretty dull. Once you've eaten there a few times and know what you like you can do well for yourself here. They always have plenty of staff so being seated, getting menus, having your order taken is always quick and easy. Recently had the seafood sizzler which was great value for two people. Other good dishes are Pad See Ew, and their BBQ lamb & BBQ Octopus.
