    West End Coffee House (or the HAUS OF GREAT COFFEE as I refer to it.) is my favourite cafe in Brisbane. In fact I was in two minds about posting this review, 1) More people = less fruit toast for me 2) I am a pacifist and would not want to break out into fisticuffs over the limited seating. ...But this place truly deserves the recognition. I really admire and respect the owners, you can tell just how dedicated they are to their craft. They pride themselves on excellence and they do not disappoint (The owner once remade my coffee THREE TIMES until he was satisfied it was worthy of serving.) They use fresh Campos beans (which I much prefer over the robustness of Blackstar's blends) and offer some of the best value and most delicious thai food for lunch (All under $10!) They have also recently ventured out into hosting art shows, so I expect many more great things to come from this lovely cafe.

    I love this place. Dare I say I'm becoming a regular. The mix of Viet street food breakfast options (pulled pork fried rice OMG) and the quite excellent coffee makes this place a sure fire winner. Top it off with efficient friendly staff only too happy to help, and well you can't go wrong. Highly recommend the breakfast. Lunches are brilliant too. Try the fish stir fry. Brilliant. Be aware that the kitchen closes at 3pm. Coffee n cake after that. Saturday's get crazy busy so get there before 8 or expect to wait. That said though, turnover is really good and they run a tight ship so the wait isn't that long. Pity it's not open on Sundays! But hey everyone needs a break.

    West End Coffee House does sell great coffee, that's for sure. But it's the service that really gets me every time. It's not your tired, 'customer service' routine. For the most part, it's kind of awkward. For some unknown reason, there is usually a friendly stand off between myself and the owner whenever I order a coffee. He usually looks at me for a couple of long seconds saying nothing before I crack up laughing, point casually at him, and say 'hello'- and quickly stutter out my order. Please do not misunderstand me, I love this type of transaction between barista and customer. I can almost expect to have a good laugh when I go in there- who wouldn't frequent a place that assures them a good time? At the very least, it's this logic that keeps me coming back. That, and the fact that the coffee is great, the food is so so yum, and so so cheap, and that there is always pretty art on the wall for me to fantasise about purchasing. Oh, and you can trust that there will be some good tunes playing. The owner has a record player in store, and a small, fine collection of musical treats that he'll play while you dine. There is a general consensus among locals that this is THE place to get a good cup of coffee in West End.

    My first breakfast & coffee in Brisbane, I'm glad that I made this choice. I had crispy fried egg with avocado & housemade bacon jam on sourdough toast and a macchiato. The sourdough toast was amazing, it was hard to pause for a talk while eating. Along with the food was the casual, artistic atmosphere of the place. I enjoyed having a break here.

We orders the spring rolls which were larger than most spring rolls and were very fresh. Drunken noodles is my favorite Thai dish and it did not disappoint at all. I wish I would have ordered it spicer but I alway go a bit less the first time because you want to be able to eat it and not have a mouth on fire. We also got a Penang beef curry. I am not a curry fan due to the coconut milk but my husband enjoyed it. I want to check out the cooking class some time.

When they closed for the christmas break, it…read morewas as if the locals had made a mental note of the reopening date, because on its first night back in business, there was a long queue of diners keen to get their My Thai Kitchen fix. Even the staff at the pizzeria next door were ordering dinner from them. My boyfriend is a regular there and he was keen to introduce me to some of his favourite meals: the golden parcels ($7.50) and the drunken noodle ($13). The golden parcels (deep fried wonton pastry with a filling of ground chicken, water ceshtnut, garlic, and coriander roots) were absolutely delicious, and the drunken noodle (rice noodles fried with garlic, chilli, chicken breast, egg, red capsicum, coriander, and basil) was much healthier than most Thai fried noodle options because it was packed with capsicum and wombok. The staff also threw in a complimentary spicy soup. I'd say My Thai Kitchen makes Thai food with an Australian twist, mainly because of the extra vegetables and the lighter sauces, which is great if you're after something that will make you feel less guilty about ordering take away for dinner. Dining in is a great option as well; there's ample seating space outside, as well as a large, communal dining table inside the restaurant for big groups. There's also a range of Asian groceries on sale for those who are interested in cooking up a storm at home. I was also charmed by a lot of the original My Thai Kitchen dish names; my personal favourites being 'luv a duck' (duck breast) 'one nation - please explain' (barramundi), and 'tax return' (tofu or tiger prawns). Note: My Thai Kitchen is also open for lunch from 12-2pm, Wednesday to Friday.

    I often wonder what inspires the names of some restaurants. "Thai On Earth"…read more.. Maybe it's best just to ignore the brain. Head straight to the menu. Whenever I have Thai, I order one of two dishes: the Larb Gai, or the Panang Curry (both $12.90). I'm happy to report back that both dishes are done well here. The space is simple and no nonsense. It's clean and functional. The service is fast and friendly. If you're dining in, you'd do well to share dishes (it's more fun this way anyhow!). Thai On Earth is always pumping out take away orders of a night time. Everyone in Auchenflower is sure to have their menu on their fridge door. I'd bet it's the best Thai in the area.

I always judge a Thai restaurant on the Pad Thai so that's what I got. That and the fish cakes. I'm pleased to say that boy they cook some tasty fish cakes and Pad Thai to boot. It was well sauced, the noodles were well done and they put some filling in the noodles. My friend A ordered the Massuman curry and that too, she said 'mmmmm this is really nice! And look, you can see the potatoes!' Which means she really did quite like the taste of her quaint little curry that she always orders at every single Thai place we've ever gone to. Try something else I always say... but no. Anyway, I'm getting a little off topic here, but to be honest, this place is alright. Worth a try and not enough people go there.

My husband and I went here last night for dinner and noticed the sushi train gone and now there are just classy wooden tables in its place. This place has a weird split level and another higher split level happening, but don't let that deter you because the food is quite authentic. We had the Beef Massuman Curry (no choice for spicyness, this was pretty mild) and the Chicken Pad Thai with Chicken satay sticks for appetizers. The Chicken Satay sticks were $9.90 which did seem a little high for 4 sticks, but the taste was good. The mains are all around 16-20 dollars and between the two of us, we paid just under $50 which I thought was a pretty good deal on Park Road. The pad thai, was hands down one of the best ones I have had for a while, the tamarind taste comes through, the squeeze of lemon juice adds perfectly, not too dry... nice chunks of chicken breast... guess what I'm having for lunch at work today! So I have reviewed the review I had previously and have increased the stars! Definetely work a try, the dishes are really yummy and all the waitresses are super friendly.

The coconut rice was nice and hot and the mains were reasonable in taste but not in price, mains from $22 onwards. The chillies in soy sauce was really nice and served in the cutest elephant bowl. The LLB and the Thai lemon iced tea was nicely priced at $4.50 and was pretty good. The staff were super polite and very efficient and I really appreciated that. I'd probably come again on somebody else's say so or a special occasion but not if I want a Thai meal at a median price. Having said that, this place probably would not give you a bad experience so it's worth a visit.

Now that I am an adult living out of home, I still like to come here for some delicious Thai food and my opinion has not changed. I have tried many of their dishes and have never left this place without a huge smile and full stomach. On the menu, there is a 'Thai Terrace Specialties', from that section, I highly recommend the 'Banana Leaf Chicken'. This dish has the most amazing burst of flavour jam packed on tiny pieces of chicken. Order this dish with coconut rice on the side to balance out the spices, it works a treat. Other dishes I like are the 'Green Curry fried rice', 'Pad Thai', and 'Mussaman Beef'. It is not the cheapest restaurant in the area, but it is worth it. If you are on the hunt for the best Thai restaurant in Brisbane, well look no further because 'Thai Terrace' is the place you have been looking for.

Some friends and I were next door renting DVDs from Civic Video and had been planning to grab dinner somewhere in Rosalie Village before movie marathoning on someone's couch. We did a quick circuit and settled on Thai Terrace owing to it's breezy, spacious front terrace. Plenty of outdoor tables is always a plus at a restaurant, especially in the Queensland climate. We sat down and our menus were brought straight over. After much discussion about sharing and who wanted what, we had come up with a lengthy and complex order which always makes me a bit nervous because restaurants can be prone to messing those up. I needn't have worried because the food came out after only a short wait and nothing was missing and everything was tasty and authentic. We all agreed that it had been a successful meal and that we'd picked the right restaurant and ordered well. We thought the staff and service at Thai Terrace had been far above average and that the prices were very reasonable (especially once we split the bill per head). Nothing like having a good Thai place next to your video store!

Located in West End, Siam Samrarn shares a complex with a Coles, Gloria Jeans and other decent run of the mill chain stores. Now I know what you're thinking, 'how can this be a great restaurant if it doesn't have it's own building'. Let me reassure you though, Siam Samrarn is a diamond in the rough. The first time I went to Siam Samrarn was with my sister and mother one Thursday evening. All three of us were astounded by the quality of the Thai food as we anticipated something mediocre at best. What we discovered however was the chefs at Siam Samrarn know things that other Thai chefs need to find out because the food was absolutely sensational! In addition, the service staff was extremely hospitable, ensuring that our glasses were always filled as we discussed at length the culinary triumphs that were laid out before us - before inevitably moving on to a drunken analysis of the family, the world and the location of the bathroom. I was so impressed by Siam Samrarn that I decided to have my 21st birthday there. Once again the staff at Siam Samrarn went up and beyond what any of us anticipated. They were able to accommodate 30-40 wine guzzling university drama students, which I imagine is no easy feat. They were even kind enough to let us chat in their restaurant till well past 11, cleaning everything and anything around us before inevitably asking us to move on. I think it has become perfectly clear that I really do consider this restaurant one of Brisbane's best. Siam Samrarn is not only excellent value for money, but also an exciting adventure for any foodie. Ultimately, hospitality for me comes down to the quality of the staff and the employees at Siam Samrarn are gentle, receptive, caring and courteous. Check it out. P.s. take advantage of the BYO and the BWS in the centre. P.p.s. check out the site for the funny music.
