Montien Tong, Cronulla

Restaurants, Thai

Overall 7.9  41

4.3 Below Average

Food  4      Ambience  4      Service  5      Value  4     


We've just moved back to Cronulla and thought we would try this restaurant as it has the best rating of all the Thai restaurants in Cronulla. However, we were really really disappointed - I'm scared to think how bad the other Thai restaurants in Cronulla must be if this is considered the best.

My partner ordered Tom Yum Chicken Soup to start and this was edible but was not great - just boring and a bit flavourless. For mains we had Green chicken curry and this was so mild and with no depth of flavour, but was really really sweet - I felt like I was eating a weird chicken dessert.

We also ordered a "spicy" noodle dish and this was the worst of all. The only flavour we could taste was charcoal bits from the wok. It was reasonable spicy but just tasted really really bad. Service was ok and our orders were taken reasonably fast. Our meals also came out reasonably fast.

We love Thai food and eat it all over Sydney but would definitely not go back or recommend this place to anyone and am absolutely shocked by all the other positive reviews.

So cheap and always great tasting! Also super fast! We go here regularly and you can't beat it in the eastern suburbs for great cheap thai.

Subsolo Restaurant & Bar, Sydney

My partner and I booked a table here on a rainy sat night and even though we had booked we had to wait at the bar for around an hour for a table (they did give us a free cocktail each so we weren't too fussed about this).

But then once we were seated the service was not great, waited ages for everything, menu's, water, drinks, order to be taken, food to arrive, pretty annoying. But they almost made up for it with really great food! Fairly pricey, but really tasty!

Would go back because of the food and great atmosphere and hopefully the slow/bad service was just a 1 night thing, otherwise wouldn't return a third time.

First time at a Lebanese restaurant. Really great food, ordered the meat platter and everything was delicious. Sooo much food on the platter and was only about $20-$25 seemed like great value to us! Service was ok, reasonably efficient, friendly. Atmosphere was busy and ok (certainly not intimate and romantic but it's not meant to be!), but will definitely be back for the great food and great value.
