The Thai Kitchen is one of those restaurants that try to cram in as many people as possible. Lucky…read morefor me, I'm eating with a very skinny friend. Inside it's loud and surprisingly warm. With such a close proximity to those surrounding me, I couldn't imagine what it would be like eating in there in summer. We are seated quickly and orders taken. No less than five minutes have gone by and our entrees of chicken satays skewers are served. They're succulent to eat and the sauce is one of the best I have tasted in a while. I really can't concentrate on anything else. With the volume ever increasing whist more people are seated its difficult to have a conversation without potentially ruining my vocal chords. Yes that is an exaggeration but not to far from the truth. Just like how quickly our main meals arrive at our table. If there's one thing to praise Thai Kitchen for, it's definitely the urgency to get orders out. I don't think we've gone more than five minutes without food. I get into my (beef) Gang Massaman and my friend starts on his (duck) Gang Ped Yang. Mid way through the meal we sample the others dish and come to two conclusions. The first is that both dishes are pretty damn fly and the second is that the sauces for both dishes kind of taste the same. It's weird. When the last grain of rice and final drop of sauce has been consumed a waiter is there to swiftly take up our plates, offer deserts (which we decline) and pour us waters. We pay our bill and walk away feeling like we've just been efficiently fed processed and set free.

Yum! This is my favourite thai place. It's been around since the mid-90s and is still run by the…read moresame people and still delicious. I wouldn't recommend eating in at Thai Kitchen because the premises is very cramped and noisy, but for takeaway it's perfect. I always phone in and place my order and it's usually ready to be picked up in about twenty minutes. They're very accommodating about customising your meal and are happy to leave meat or seafood out of dishes for vegetarians. They alway ask if you want your meal mild, medium, or hot so if you're not a chilli fan you don't have to worry. I wish their kitchen stayed open later, though, because even though they're open until 9:30, last orders are at 8:15. I love their vegetarian red curry and vegetarian pad thai, and my meat-eating friends recommend the thai beef salad and duck curry. It's reasonably priced, friendly, and delicious and obviously has a loyal following since it's still going after so long. There's short-term parking on the street out the front so you can dash in and grab your order, and if you want to eat in there's parking out the back. Thai Kitchen is much better than your average suburban thai place, and whenever I feel like thai I don't even think twice about where to go.

I ordered the Slaw Burger with fries. Oh, I mean, COLD fries. The burger does not state that it is spicy on the menu. An abhorrent amount of sauce both in the slaw and on the burger itself which was also coated in a nauseating glaze. I literally had to scrape the over zealous amount of sauces off the bred. Those bread boards they are served on, just plane idiotic! Plus, they look none-too-clean. By the time I'd done my best with my revolting "dining experience", I ensured to leave a note on the paper which encloses the burger, stating way too much sauces with an unhappy face. One more thing, the preposterous volume of the music blaring so you couldn't speak to your partner.

It was weird. I had the spicy chicken which was actually quite good but definitely spicy. The main problem was the service. You order on the app, but we waited about 40 minutes to get our food. I went up to the counter to inquire and several service members made a point to walk past me and never make eye contact to help me. My companion finally came up from the porch to tell me our food had finally arrived - that's how long it too. Then when it was time to pay, similar experience - couldn't catch the eye of anyone.

Eureka. Drive to Mt Gravatt and am greeted by beautiful fresh Barramundi fish wings. Also buy a few fillets of salmon, and cherry & beetroot cured salmon. (FYI: the later goes so well in an omelette). If you're new to cooking seafood or just like to learn more, each of their product shelf talkers have a guide to "how best to cook" each piece of seafood.

My brother told me of a new yum cha place in Darra called Maxim and I had to check this out. Not only did this mean I wouldn't have to make that long drive into Sunnybank anymore, it meant that I could have yum cha and get my grocery shopping done too (literally next door). The restaurant looks like it used to be a used karaoke hall and it's not that clean by any means. It looks ultra daggy and the tables and chairs aren't that great. The menu is usually a bit sticky, I know what you're thinking. The yum cha comes out piping hot. They have some trolleys with food on them coming around during peak lunch times, but usually you can order straight from the menu so it's cooked fresh. The owner is a lady who likes to give young kids free juice and you are also provided with free chinese tea, always a bonus. My husband and I go there with our two kids, and our bill always averages $25-$30 and we are pretty hungry when we get there, and pretty damn full when we leave, which does tell you one thing. For all you Darra fiends out there, the My Friend guy... works here too on top of the other 2-3 places he works. If you go to Darra for vietnamese cuisine a lot, you'll know what I mean. Insider information - he is an awesome waiter with really good hearing.

The food here is really tasty and great value for money.

This place is a fantastic choice to host a celebration if you like a combination of good food and karaoke entertainment. Definitely a winner in my karaoke-loving heart!

Sun Chung Cafe is just in a small complex of shops on Gympie Road and it looks run down! Like, really run down. There's hardly anywhere to sit inside, so you can tell they just focus on takeaways only. Dine in even incurs a 10% increase, so if the decor wasn't enough to discourage you, the price hike might. However, the meal prices were crazily cheap, so we stuck with it and WOW, am I glad we did! When we got home and opened those takeaway containers, the meals looked and smelt fantastic. We had ordered Lemon Chicken, Chicken special with ginger and shallot and Mongolian lamb. Lisa (previous reviewer) wasn't kidding about big succulent pieces of meat. The Lemon chicken was something spectacular and the chicken and lamb in the other two dishes were so tender and delicious. And so much food! The dishes were really generous sizes, and for less than $10 a dish! Sun Chung has definitely raced to the top of my Chinese Takeaway list - we ordered 3 dishes and large rice and paid just under $30! What a bargain!

There's no way you can go wrong with any Buddha bowl you choose. The food was received in good time and the staff were sweet to us too. Parking is okay - it can be a hit or miss depending on the time and day because it's on the popular part of the Oxford street strip. I found street parking - but anywhere you park around here though is easily within walking distance. I ordered the Seared Beef Bowl which was so yummy with extra sambal chili on the side. You get so distracted about how much goodness and veggies you're consuming when the protein element is too good. I also ordered a Kombucha they sell which was a refreshing extra too. Definitely felt full after My friend had no complaints about the falafel bowl she ordered ! I know this will be a place we'll keep coming back to when we're in the area :)
