    Worth coming over to Stanley Street Darlinghurst for. Trendy, chic and sophisticated. Love the ambience inside. Regardless as to whether you are alone; or with someone it just feels great to be dining in here. Trendy tables and ambience with excellent service. Order any of their pad thai dishes: anything with chicken and seafood is ultimately the best; you will not be left with that bloated feeling, or feeling overly hungry either for that matter. The staff are extremely efficient and pleasant, and the pad thai (even though it doesn't always consistently have that authentic thai spice that many people want) really represents great value for money without overpowering things on the noodle side. Come here hungry; with an appetite and with great company or allow yourself some time to enjoy without having to be back at work at a specific time if you happen to work nearby. It just doesn't work here. Thankfully not overly generous on the noodles, at least the fillings fill the spot and are packed with finesse and quality, fresh ingredients. An establishment that many Sydneysiders on the eastern side of town tend to talk a fair bit about. There aren't any surprises as to why.

    Good grub food to get the Thai zest food on!…read more I like their flavorful Tom Yum Goong, extremely. One can tell with the ingredients used and the strong flavor used in the soup. Chicken noodle soup was spot on. I think I ate too much two hours before, so my stomach wasn't feeling well at all when I over ordered here! I got excited on their 5 dollar grubs and Tom Yum soup. It's like a hole in the wall kind of place. Service was great and I like the down to earth vibes here. My eyes are bigger than my stomach, as usual. Got my yummy Thai craving on!

    This place is all about the efficiency. The young guy running around serving everyone is pleasant,…read morespeedy and ensures you get a bottle of water. You're gonna need it, this is authentic Thai, they don't scrimp on the spice. This used to be a very regular lunchtime haunt for me because it wasn't very busy and @ $7.90 for my favourite dish (which is a generous serve), it was almost impossible to avoid at least once a week. However it seems that word has gotten around because it can be very busy at lunch times. I usually opt for pork pad krapao cos it's a great serve but have tried other dishes too. The pork two ways (belly and bbq) is a bigger dish but is also outside their $8 lunch sweetspot! The only real gripe I have with the place is that the seating outside attracts smokers. Most people hate smokers whilst they are eating, and it's probably illegal but you know what inconsiderate ign'ant peeps are like, they just don't care.

    It's surprising what you can find when exploring your own city. I decided to take a different…read morestreet in Chinatown Sydney and stumbled upon this restaurant. From the outside it looked very clean and inviting with walls decorated with vibrant Thai street art. There were many patrons inside eating which is also a good sign that the food must be good. I decided to give it a try and I'm so pleased I did! The place has a Bain-Marie setup on entry for takeaway. You can order from here to dine in also but the price will differ. It is cheaper to takeaway. The menu is very extensive listing more than 100 Thai regional specialties. The menu has several different styles of noodle soups 'Boat Noodle Soup' and 'Tom Yum Sukhothai Noodle Soup' ranging from the spicy-sour tom yum soup to tom luad moo (soup made with a clear broth as well as pork and vegetables). Under the heading 'Hot Pot Set' you can order the Thai Southeast street food 'Chim Chum', a spicy sour broth with different meats, seafood and fresh herbs such as galangal, sweet basil, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves all cooked together and served in a small clay pot. There are refreshing papaya and vermicelli noodle salads, stir-fries, fried fish, hotpots and for the ultimate sweet ending, sweet doughnuts served with delicious Pandan sauce (Pa-Tong-Go) or deep-fried banana. I chose two of my all time favourites- Chicken Pad Thai and a Chicken Cashew Nut stir fry. The portion size was huge and worth every cent! The taste was simply amazing and better than what I have received at my other favourite, more expensive Thai restaurants in Sydney. Wow I now have found a new favourite Thai restaurant.
