I never dined in, but always came here to get takeaways. The service was okay, quite friendly and the food came out pretty quick.
My top two favourites are their Green Chicken Curry and Lemon Coriander Fried Chicken. The curry is mild, creamy, yet flavoursome. The fried chicken is not too crunchy, but juicy and slightly spicy. However, what makes it really great is the cheap price, as well as the huge portion size.
I will always come back to grab some easy midweek dinner!
Food portion was great and taste nice too.
This is the best thai/ asian restaurant in Brisbane. Can eat here all day everyday. It is our go to asian place. Prices are ausumn, every dish is amazing.
Delicious food, good prices, large servings. I am from Melbourne Victoria and always make time to come to ithai when I'm in QLD it's one of my favorite restaurants.
A MUST TRY!
The decor is abit outdated but does not take away from the AMAZING and delicious food. Food is very well priced and portions are above average.
Definitely a cheap eat, and a great place for a large group to eat.
Food came out fast and freshly cooked. Will definitely be visiting this place again
My partner and I had lunch at iThai on Monday and both enjoyed our selection of food. We order the chicken green curry, Roti with satay sauce, chilli basil drunken beef and some chicken satay skewers (as they were sold out of the squid). The meals came out rather quickly and all together, and were very tasty. The meat wasn’t the best quality but for the price of the meal, a great place to stop for lunch.
Generous portion and quite tasty. The place can be very crowded. This is the perfect place to feed an army without breaking the bank. The food is pretty fast too..
BIG portion. The food is cheap and big portion. I think two girl could full only 1 plate. The taste is not bad. Personally, rice is more delicious than noodle. And if you go lunch time, you can save a bit of money.

Despite the very mixed reviews here, we decided to visit iThai anyway and get a feel for the type of food being served. Having passed the restaurant hundreds of times before, we never stopped to visit as usually at dinner time the restaurant is full and the line is very long. We came for lunch on a Sunday at about 11:30am where we seated ourselves and by 12:00pm the seating areas were all full. The prices of the food were extremely cheap! We ordered 6 dishes (2 entrees) and the total came up to about $67 - with the use of our entertainment voucher it was only about $50!
The service at iThai is very basic. Many things are self-serve such as the water and even seating as there were only 2 staff on. The service is very minimal as they only took our orders (had to order at counter) and brought out the dishes. However, in saying this, the service was not bad per se, it is quite typical of many Asian restaurants to be quite minimal and hasty.
We ordered the salt and pepper calamari which was quite ordinary. The batter was very crispy and the calamari was not overcooked. This dish was very nice and delicious but ultimately, nothing special. We also ordered the deep fried tofu which was very delicious! The tofu was very soft and pillowy on the inside whilst being very crisp on the outside. Both of these entrees came with a dipping sauce of sweet chilli and some salad leaves on the side. The tofu's flavour was plain so the sweet chilli was nice to have on the side.
The green curry with chicken was a winner! My family agreed that this was one of the nicest green curries we have tried. The portion size was huge and had heaps of chicken, curry and celery. The flavour was bursting without being too spicy or overpowered by the coconut flavour. The chicken was plentiful and very tender. Would highly recommend ordering the green curry with a side of plain rice!
The crispy pork belly with asian greens was another winner! The crispy pork belly (or siu yuk) was so generous throughout the dish. There was plenty of the pork belly and the crackling was very crispy. The pork was not too fatty but had the perfect amount of it so that the meat wasn't too dry. The flavour of this dish was so delicious - there was plenty of garlic and sauces. However, the asian greens aspect of this dish was slightly disappointing. Choy sum was used however, most of the greens in the dish were the stalks of the choy sum. The stalks took up most of the dish and there were not many leaves. The stalks were not cooked thoroughly either as they were very hard and could not be chewed through, leaving most of the stalks left behind and inedible.
The pineapple fried rice was quite ordinary and is not something we would reorder. The flavour was nice but not something I could eat everyday. The portion size however, was very large! We ordered the fried rice with beef to which there was barely any beef in it. The dish was okay, but would try a different type of fried rice next time.
Most of the dishes came within 15 minutes however the sweet and sour fish fillet took very long to arrive. However, this dish was one of my favourites. The dish looks quite standard but was very delicious. The batter was extremely crispy and complemented the flaky fish fillet so well. The only downside to this dish would be that the fish pieces were drowned in the sweet and sour sauce. After about 10 minutes of this dish arriving, the fish pieces were no longer crispy as there was so much sauce that they became slightly soggy. I would definitely reorder this dish but would recommend eating it within the first 10 minutes or so otherwise the texture and appeal of this dish dramatically minimises.
Overall, if you are visiting iThai the expectations of service should be lowered. The prices are low and the portion sizes are large! As seen in these reviews, many dishes are hit and miss. I have highlighted some of the dishes we enjoyed above however, not all the dishes were perfect. We will definitely be returning though! Some of the dishes are a definite reorder whilst we may try out some other dishes for the first time. Don't let the reviews fool you - there are some winners on this menu! It may take a couple visits to get the perfect order but for the low prices and huge portions we definitely were not complaining. Will be revisiting soon!
Awesome foods. Tasty and price is cheap as well. Thai mixed rice is my favourite. Thai rice + chilli sauce is the best combination 😍😍 great staff. Fast food preparations 💕 highly recommended
