I have been to a great deal of Thai restaurants in Australia and Thailand. This restaurant is on the top of my list. The cuisine is great, service always friendly and what a surprise, parking only metres away!

Betel leaf parcels are heavenly and I've tried most dishes on the menu. I don't recommend the pad Thai and papaya salad but their curries are the best, any which, you just can't go wrong. I'm there at least once a week!

I've been eating at Thai & I for over 5 years now. The food and service has been consistently good for as long as I can remember. This is one of the best Thai restaurants on the northern beaches. Value for money is also great. The family & I have just finished yet another fantastic meal from the Thai & I and I thought is was about time I write a review to give credit where credit is due.

Eight of us dined here. We shared 6 mixed entrees and a pile of main meals with an endless supply of rice along with 6 beers, corkage and a tip at a cost of $62 a couple. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was tasty and fresh and the serves were generous. All of our party will be back!

Been here a few times with the boyfriend just because it's convenient, but we haven't been back in ages because the food is just not worth it. Sauces on stir fries are always really watery and the vegetables, which include non traditional Thai ingredients like celery and capsicum, are hardly even cooked.
Disappointing every time, which is a shame since the location is so nice.

We eat here now and again when we are at the beach. Food is pretty ordinary, obviously made with sauces out of a jar. I have never found any fresh Thai herbs in any of the dishes. What annoys me is that you always have to check the bill! Every time we have dined there, they have jacked up the prices, eg charged $16.90 for a dish that is $15.90 on the menu.

An extremely small, modern Thai eatery, situated across from Dee Why beach.
Although I'm not a big Thai food fan, I found the food nicely presented and fresh tasting. The "Jungle Curry" blew my head off and the "Garlic Prawns, "Duck Salad" and "Fish Cakes" were great too. The prices are in the moderate range.

The service, although friendly and prompt, none of the waiters bothered to ask our party of 5 once, throughout the whole night, if we required anything or even give us a sweets menu. We ended up having an icecream cone at Macca's!

Being such a small, busy establishment, it would be smart to book. The parking isn't great, but there is a parking area around the corner which is free after 7.00 pm. There is seating out-side and inside. We sat inside, on a cushion bench, which I preferred. All in all, we had a great, relaxed night and I will be back.

We have been going to this restaruant for over 10 years.

It certainly has blossomed over the last several months, with a complete internal and external makeover which has, unfortunately made it too popular.

Never-the-less, the food is always very good and the menu has just expanded with some new traditional Thai dishes.

Well recommended - must book!

Love the restaurant its my favourite local Thai. The people are really friendly and nothing is ever a problem. Food is really nice and the decor since they have renovated makes the restaurant feel warm and inviting.

Sorry guys, if you don't know what you're doing, than you better find out or go bust. You can only take advantage of unsuspecting tourists for so long. That was so incredibly ordinary. Massive chunks of celery and carrot and some tough tasteless beef, all with little flavour. It was worse than bad chinese food of which it reminded me of. Oh and thanks for all the extra grease, I used it on my car.

They seemed to have improved the decor of this place so I thought I might give it another go, and hope the food had improved. Unfortunately, I was hugely disappointed. This place is nicely situated looking out to Dee Why Beach, and the decor is much nicer than it was, but he food was awful and I don't often go this far but quite disgusting! We had a Panang curry with beef and they must have heated it a microwave or just poorly cooked as the coconut milk had started to curdle and the beef was cooked through but hardly hot.

In fact the beef was like rubber and the curry itself was as bland as boiled rice. They also threw in lots of vegetables that don't go with a curry which just made the dish even worse, the vegetables would have been nice as a side, not in the curry. I will never eat here again and they are being deceptive calling this Thai food. One of those Thai places where they think 'farangs' don't like authentic Thai.
