Tried the a jumbo Thai over the top of the old Embassy Hotel in the CBD for lunch yesterday, great service and very pleasant surrounds made this enjoyable
I had the curried beef cheeks and it was a melt in your mouth delight, food was little on the expensive side otherwise would have given it a five , but definitely worth a visit if you like thai

This restaurant is in the Embassy Hotel. Take the flight of stairs up and you’ll be welcomed into a lovely dining space. There is all type of seating to suite whether you get a seat at the bench table looking out onto the other buildings, a regular table or the ones with cushions and pillows like we had.
The service is very friendly and accommodating.
We came as a group for dinner. Decided to share the dishes as to not have fomo. Started off with Duck Spring Rolls and Satay Chicken Skewers. Presented beautifully, these were the perfect starters. The piping hot and crunchy spring rolls were filled with delicious duck, cabbage, and sweetcorn. The chicken skewers came with a smooth and tasty peanut sauce. Calamari was tasty but a tad chewy the group had declared.
Onto the mains we had Green Curry With Beef Cheeks, Massaman Lamb Shank Curry, and Jumbo Pad Thai. The curries were flavour bombs and the meats in both of them were melt in the mouth. Couldn’t get enough of curry to go with the rice we got. The pad thai was well seasoned and went down a treat. Lots of chicken and plump prawns adorned this dish. We very much enjoyed the mains and wolfed it down quite quickly.
Being the sweet tooth of the group I indulged in the Banana Fritters. They were filled with banana, rice flakes, and coconut. Not your traditional fritter but more a spring roll style, it was very tasty. Served with a scoop of coconut ice cream, it was a lovely way to end the meal.

Hey everyone! I just had the best Thai meal ever. Jumbo Thai is hands down the best Thai I have ever had. Beautiful and complex flavours mixed with amazing presentations. It’s not ‘pad Thai’ and ‘salt&pepper calamari’... it’s a real experience. It’s real food. It’s complex and interesting. It’s a 100%must do.
We had a heated debate about which dish was the best, long story short we (6 people) all decided that the best dish would have to be decided on another day when we return. Because we will have to go back. We just must go back.
In Brisbane for work and enjoyed a fabulous meal at Jumbo last night. The food and service are OUTSTANDING! Fresh ingredients beautifully prepared. Authentic high Thai experience. The decor is quirky and fun. Will definitely be back.
Delicious and interesting menu. Lots of gluten free options. Get the banana fritters.
It’s about time Brisbane city had some nicer dining options if you ask me. Jumbo Thai has recently opened at the Embassy Chambers on Elizabeth Street, next to the Hilton and fulfils just that. We received a warm welcome and menu recommendations – I immediately jumped on the dumpling reccommendation (obviously) with a glass of chardonnay. For wine lovers, there’s a fab wine list too.
Have you heard about Thailand, Land of a smile? I'm extremely proud of this amazing Thai restaurant in case of representing the Thai style. It shows not only Thai traditional decoration, but also hospitality service and friendly staffs as Thai people are. They gave everyone a welcoming smile. If you go there, I do believe that you will be experienced and impressed with their service. Besides, the foods are quite surprising to me. I can find a lot of Thai traditional foods and desserts here. For example; Cho-Muang, Miang Kum, Bua Loy and so on!
