On a weeks holiday in Huski, decided to visit this Thai Rest. The best thing about the restaurant is the staff. Very friendly and efficient. The food was uninspired. If you want pretty ordinary thai, not overpriced, well this is your place. The food lacked imagination. Shop purchased curry puffs, calamari rings and the Thai curries were bland. I think the kitchen needs a holiday, to Thailand to get reinvigorated!
What a little gem. By far the best Thai I have had in years. A varied menu but not so much that it is overwhelmingly hard to decide. The staff are always happy to give you a couple of suggestions. As a group of 3 we shared the fishcakes with cucumber sauce which was divine and a mixed entree which was also great.
We shared two dishes for mains-red beef curry-not too hot and very fragrant-perfect. The second dish was prawns in a chilli and lemongrass sauce which was so tasty! We couldn't resist dessert and we shared the hot coconut milk with banana-so simple yet delicious! We also tried the banana puffs which were also fabulous!
Overall, a meal with plenty of flavours and variety. Very satisfying and not too filling. The staff were very helpful, service was excellent as was value for money. Congratulations to the owners who have obviously worked hard to bring a little jewel straight from Thailand to the South Coast.
This restaurant is underated. You walk by thinking, oh another Thai restaurant (me being a Sydneysider and having a variety in Sydney itself). But my partner and I decided to give it a go, seeing that there was a crowd (usually a good sign).
This is a Thai-fusion restaurant. The soup (Coconut curry chicken & coriander) has been by far, the Best soup I've ever tasted. The balance of lemon grass, coconut and spiciness is perfectly balanced. Mains are good. (We has Pad Thai and Mixed veggies)
The desserts are Sublime. (We had sticky coconut rice with Thai custard and a lychee & mango panacotta). I'm writing this review 2 days after having this wonderful experience, and I am still having the after taste of the freshly grated coconut used in their dishes. Ingredients are very fresh. Care is taken with cooking methods.
The only downside was probably the ambience - a little too noisy for my liking. But excellent value for money, I'd say. A must try!
I recently dined at Hawng Khrua while escaping Sydney during the APEC weekend. What a magnificent dining experience. Hawng Khrua is as good as any Thai restaurant in Sydney, and is certainly better than most!
Great food, service, ambience and value for money. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Certainly the highlight of the Huskisson dining scene.
