There's an article clipped from a newspaper that says That Thai is food to die for. I've tried a…read morenumber of Thai restaurants around Brisbane and I wouldn't go that far. The name itself, That Thai, pretty much sums up the general feel that it's just another one of those types of eateries. The restaurant is a converted Queenslander with a good sized outside deck to enjoy a summer breeze on. When you arrive, you have to be a little patient because the staff always seem to be preoccupied with something. It took my wife and I five minutes to be sorted out and that was on a night when the restaurant was only half full. In comparison to their service, that Thai serves a pretty substantial meal. Their Banana Leaf Chicken was so big that I couldn't finish it. My wife enjoyed her yellow curry but in the end there just wasn't any excitement about the place to warrant another visit.

Out of the Thai places on Racecourse road, That Thai is my second favourite. Which is awkward…read morebecause there are only two. I probably should have suspected just by its lacklustre name, but I gave That Thai a chance based on it's nice, wide front deck just above street level where it catches the breeze. Unfortunately, it seems like That Thai put about the same amount of effort into their service as they did into coming up with their name. That is, not much. The staff were slow to acknowledge our arrival, then slow to bring the menus, then slow to take our order. And the food was - you guessed it! - slow to arrive. Once it did arrive, it was okay. Pretty standard suburban Thai fare in big portions and reasonably priced. For me to return to a restaurant where I've experienced poor service, the food has to make tolerating the service worthwhile and that isn't the case here.

With a street that boasts three Thai restaurants, it's easy to be drawn to those towards the…read moreritzier end of Racecourse Rd. Especially if there is a hoard of people in the dining area. However, if you're wanting a cheaper alternative that's up to and sometimes above par in comparison, make sure you go and hit up Northern Thai. It isn't much to look at, but it's a great takeaway that's certainly up there. For me, when I'm there I'm ordering the Satay Gai for an entrée and a Green Chicken Curry for my main. It's relatively cheap and in total both meals together cost me $20. Sometimes, they over spice things there, but I've never been too concerned, the flavour is always rich and the meals fill you up nicely. Another reason I like to order from here is that the staff are always prompt and never leave you hanging around. When waiting for an order they will keep me updated and serve it to me with a smile.

Found on Racecourse Road amongst many, many other restaurants and take away shops, Northern Thai is…read moreone of my favourite dinner places. It's not the biggest or the flashiest restaurants on Racecourse but I strongly recommend it. The food has never failed to please me, though I usually go for stir fried chicken with basil and coconut rice (you have to order the rice separately). They give you very decent sized servings that aren't very expensive. The dishes that have a lot of egg may be a little salty. The wait staff is very nice though they aren't native English speakers so communication can potentially be an issue but I haven't experienced much of that so far. It's BYO (wine only) and they offer standard soft drinks too for a reasonable price. It's not a place for dessert though but that's okay. Take away is also an option.

If you've got $20 to splash out on some Thai food go give the friendly folks at Thai Ways a crack…read more I've been there with friends a couple of times before hitting the town and it's been right on the money. Personal favourites of mine of mine for starters (if they have any) are the Crystal Balls or stuffed chicken wings. Mains I usually attack any of their massamam curries or the tom yum soup. The staff are always around and looking to serve you and fill up your water. Another great thing about Thai Ways is that it is BYO and the closest bottle shop is about ten meters down the street. The food is pretty simple, not totally authentic as far as other Thai restaurants around Brisbane but that probably helps in keeping the prices down. That and its an absolute pleasure to dine there. I recommend it to everyone.

The food was simply great. They give you 10% discount if you take away,…read more I placed the order and they said 15 minutes to have it ready. I got there just after 15 minutes and I was actually late. I didn't have to wait. I ordered the green curry, coconut prawns, drunken noodle, basil chicken and fried rice. They all tasted great. So far this is the best food joint I have visited in Albion and 4011 post code region combined. The food wasn't bland, it had full of favors and the serving size was excellent. Definitely would be back for another takeaway and eat in (decorations are amazing).

Although I don't go to Thai Naramit as much as I used to, the delicious food and friendly staff…read morenever fail to amaze me. Not to mention the lovely ambiance as contributed to by surrounding houses and shops in the area. I would strongly recommend the Duck Naramit; soft and chewy meat, crunchy skin, as well as the spicy and savoury homemade sauce drizzled on top simply make for a divine main course meal. There is no doubt about it that it is the best meal on the menu! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the surrounding area.

We ordered delivery from here tonight…read more I loved the menu and was excited that there were many options which extend beyond your usual Thai restaurant menu. We asked for some golden bags, which I love but barely ever see. Unfortunately they didn't have any. We ordered the ginger pork stirfry, crispy pork with greens, beef massuman curry and pepper garlic beef stirfry. The pork in both dishes was a let down. Chewy and not at all crispy. Inedible almost. The veges were cooked well (still crispy) and the sauce was decent. The massuman curry was apparently nice, I didn't try it. The pepper garlic beef stirfry was OK. The beef was edible, the veges decently cooked - the sauce was a bit bland though. Overall I was disappointed. If the food was good I would think the price was reasonable. But sadly the food somewhat missed the mark. On the + side the delivery was prompt and the driver very friendly.

They sit outside…read moredrinking, laughing and talking loudly until 4am in the morning when they are situated in a residential area. Get some respects and go home to your families or at least go inside and not sit outside talking loudly and laughing loudly at such ridiculous hours (4am). Your staff simply shown no respect for the residents situated close to them. This has been addressed with the manager a few times in the past yet they continue to sit out, drink and make noise. And now two of the staff have decided to chase a homeless man down the road because he tried to talk to them (at 4am in the morning, poor form) Get a life and stop disturbing others and their children .

I wasn't super hungry the first night I went, so I just had chicken satay. The chicken was tender and the sauce probably the best I've ever had. The next time I went I had pad see ew with chicken -- with this dish, the chicken can sometimes get dry; again, the chicken at Pochana was tender and the sauce delicious. Elizabeth Street, where Pochana is located, is basically restaurant after restaurant -- so there are many choices and options. But if I return to Brisbane, I would go to Pochana again over a new restaurant if given the choice.

Found this place, walked in and noticed there were lots of locals meaning that it will be good. We ordered amazing gyozas which had great sauce.

Whenever you are in a place you have never been you taking a chance whatever you choose to eat. This place was a great find. Highly recommend!
