Just had my second meal at Gala Thai in West End and they only opened a week ago. That’s how good it is. I hope to make my way through their entire menu ! Tonight was Duck Curry and Beef Massaman. Hard to pick my favourite. Beautiful flavours in the Duck Curry and the slow cooked beef was melt in your mouth. Best I’ve ever had. Lovely new place in West End with very friendly service. My new local. Get on down there. You won’t regret it.
Visited on third day of opening. Amazing, delicious, authentic Thai flavours in a hip new modern space! Extremely friendly staff. Those two things combined will challenge the Thai West End incumbents to lift their game. Get in quick to enjoy BYO while they wait to get their liquor license. �
Had a EatClub promo lunch here yesterday. Owner lady still can remember me and she is so friendly and passionate.
We ordered a Tom Yum, chicken satay for entrees. Duck in curry sauce with coconut rice and Pad Thai for the mains.
Production is consistently good. Love that it serves two large king prawns in shell for the Tom Yum. Love it serves fresh pineapples for duck in curry. Importantly, the coconut fragrance from the rice really win our appreciation. It matches the curry perfectly👍
A very satisfied Sunday lunch.😋

Absolutely amazing food.
We ordered the Crispy Pork Belly fish which was amazing! So was the duck salad - it’s pictured at the front counter. So fragrant and fresh!
Staff are super bubbly and friendly, and all speak Thai in the kitchen which is on View.
Another day and yet another Thai restaurant. Loving how Thai cuisine is really hitting Brisbane lately. Can l eat Thai food everyday…yes l can, especially when it’s delicious and authentic as Gala Thai. . When we visited we saw a lot of regular customers come in and l can see why. The food here is exceptional and the service was a standout. They had a great ordering system which l loved. Select what you want from the device they provide and within minutes the food arrived at our table. Fast service but the food was honest amazing and authentic Thai food packed with flavour. I also loved the variety they had on offer and l could have kept ordering.
Flavours of Thailand
The food at this cute little restaurant just outside West End's dining and shopping precinct is amazing. We were able to tailor the food to suit our taste - Thai hot with less sugar. We loved that the dishes we ordered were served with a generous wedge of lime. The flavours were authentic with lots of chilli, galangal, finger ginger and green peppercorns. The service was excellent - the staff are super friendly and eager to please. We'll be back to try more dishes!
Good vibe! Not very crowded. Outdoors seats are comfortable. Friendly staff! Nice food! We ordered red curry and Pad Thai, calamari salad, all the dishes are delicious! good value! Will definitely visit again!
Excellent fresh Thai food at a great price. We’ve been there a couple of times now and loved it each time. Every dish we have tried has been absolutely delicious. The owners are friendly and make you feel welcome. My husband loves the selection of beer. I am so excited to have won the Valentines dinner competition on Facebook.
We’ll definitely be back...
We travel from mount cotton for this gem. 😋
This is the best Thai food I've had since I came to Brisbane! The boss is very nice! And Coconut milk is highly recommended! All food I had tasted very good !
Thai restaurants are very nostalgic for my partner and I as they are where we spent many of our first dates. We were very much looking forward to checking out the new Thai restaurant in West End, Gala Thai!. Location, ambiance & service. Gala Thai is located on Boundary Street, but the ‘less busy’ side. You most likely won’t have an issue finding a park, unless it is a very busy Friday or Saturday night. We visited on a Saturday night, however, very early (around 5:30PM). The restaurant was busy and there were only one or two waitresses but despite this there was no delay with service or receiving your food. The restaurant was run very efficiently, and the service was friendly.
It's was last year when we actually visited Gala Thai & we were very impressed. Thought all the food to be as authentic as you would get this side of Thailand cooked & served with passion. My laksa had good depth of flavor with a nice delicate spice blend & fresh chillies. Those dumplings we had for entree were a hit for me. Simply done with cases of silk which melted in the mouth
It’s no secret that there is many a Thai restaurant Brisbane town. No matter which suburb you enter into, chances are there will be a Tom Yum on offer somewhere. . With competition this high, to be classified as a good Thai restaurant is serious kudos indeed. West End's Gala Thai is a good Thai restaurant.
Staff are friendly and quick to service. Ask if you have been there or not previously, if not they quickly explain how to use the ordering tablets.
Food comes out quickly and together in their appropriate orders(drinks, entree, mains, etc).
I just wish I could say I’m surprised about the quietness. It’s not that quiet as they do have people entering and exiting. Although it could be busier if at a better location such as down about midway the road closer to the bars and other restaurants as they are filled with potential customers unaware of this restaurant.
Highly recommended.
Very nicely done Duck Tam (salad). Duck is crispy but yet not too dry. Order is quick as well.
Authentic Thai food at reasonable prices. Owner is friendly and helpful.
Thumbs up to Yip the owner. This place have amazing authentic Thai food. We recommend the duck tam as we get takeaway every fortnight and enjoy a wine/beer while waiting. The staff are attentive and know us by name. The service and food is phenomenal. If you are in West End I do recommend this place .
First time buying our dinner from here. Takeaway. It was ready on time; the young woman who served me was friendly, smiling and cheerful; the food was great value from both flavour and quantity. Many places water down the sauces and save on meat and verges. Not at Gala Thai. Loved it and will definitely be back, even though they are a little further afield from home.
Ordered the Calamari side and beef massaman curry, plus coconut rice. Amazing flavours and just melt in your mouth beef. A truly great experience for our take away meal. All foods were fresh and fragrant. Well absolutely be back soon.
I liked their ordering system through a tablet placed on your table, you can also use the same system to call a waitress. Food is delicious and the staff is friendly.
I initially thought there are no car parking lots available, but there are some spots behind the shop.
