Review Chong Co Thai Restaurant And Bar Gold Coast - Broadbeach

Enjoyed lunch here after shopping that we booked for dinner same day. They are actually very good. Food and drinks presented so well. Looks good and tastes amazing. Staff are friendly, warm and inviting and provide service with a smile. Will definitely trying it again when back to visit Queensland.

We have been here so many times since 2017 or 2018. I was recommended my friends and my families to come for lunch and dinner. Actually every time we came, it needs long time to wait for your order. I want to upload a comment this time, because we found that the food comes less than before. The chicken skewer still RAW inside… I was shock… it makes me hopeless… hoping can improve in the future

I had lunch here with my friend and the restaurant is busy. The food is delicious and good amount of servings. The drinks are also yum. I am only giving 4 stars as the waiters are in so much rushed that they don't even give cutlery after they have served the food. It is hard to ask them for the things they forget to place on our table.

OMG ! This is my favourite restaurant on the Gold Coast. 98% of the customer in the restaurant are Thai, so that says something. The food is INCREDIBLE. I have never tasted flavours so fresh and flavoursome. Thanks guys, I can’t wait to be back. ( we have eaten here quite a few times, and we will keep eating here! )

We popped in for early dinner before the cinema. Really tasty! Good value and everything was hot and fresh. I particularly enjoyed the Bao and skewers.

First place we went to after we landed on the Gold Coast, and it exceeded our expectations! The ambiance felt like it was Phuket tucked away inside the Pacific Fair shopping centre, and we were welcomed by attentive and efficient staff. The food was awesome! The pork skewers were grilled to perfection, and the soy/peanut sauce complimented the soft meat. The crispy pork salad was bursting with flavour from the coriander, onions, chilli and lychee! I regret not taking a photo of the dessert, as it was the best sticky mango pudding we ever had. Soft, sweet, and just melts in your mouth! We will be happy to fly back from Melbourne just for another visit!

Shameful lunch experience. Ordered Pad Thai and Pad See Ew and had noodles that were very sweet. Tiny serves and a very very disappointing taste. Funny enough, one of the waiters came to check on whether we liked our food, and I objectively said that the Pad Thai was too sweet, I normally have it everytime I go to Thai restaurants. She was apologetic but responded by saying it is actually sweet in our restaurant without offering to take it back or whether I'd like something else. Anyway wouldn't go there again. Overtly priced, poor tiny serves and not delicious at all

Must try top level Thai cuisine in Gold Coast. Flavour is so rich even the coconut rice is so yummy. Definitely must have to try if you visit pacific fair shopping centre. Recommend pad Thai and green curry.

The best Thai place, authentic Thai food. Beef salad, red duck curry so nice and tasty. If you like cocktail please try lychee martini so good.

The food so fresh and testy, coconut slushy is the best drink I ever had. All staff are friendly with the best service. If you want to try Thai food please come to this lace, you will love it.

Me and my friends had dinner here a few time. It was very great meal, which was worth the price and variety of option for food and drink also waitstaffs was just nice&helpfull. We'll definitely be back!! Highly recommended �

I'm sorry to say very disappointing from start to finish. Slow service, bland food. After waiting 20 minutes for entrees we were told the dumplings had run out. No alternatives were presented by the wait staff. The entrees eventually arrived but 10 minutes apart again. The Wagyu Beef BBQ in the mains was not edible at all. The beef definitely did not taste fresh. No one bothered to ask if we needed any further drinks or water. What a waste of money. Will definitely never eat here again.

The service was so poor, staff rude and unhelpful and food was average. Very disappointed. We have been many times and I will never go back!

The meal portions are extremely small for the price you pay. We waited for at least 10 minutes for a staff to take our order. It was difficult getting their attention. We also waited at least 45 minutes for our mains to be served.. not seriously worth the wait. The quality of the meals were very average. At least, the food was cooked..

Nice food, good service. I recommend Tom Yum prawns, Thai beef salad and Lost in the jungle cocktail����

The best Tom Yum soup in town, the soup just so good! Not too spicy, but just perfect. And the crispy pork salad was so very nice,I also recommend this restaurant to my other friends and they also love it. Can't wait to go back for yummy

Was an absolutely fabulous lunch yesterday, we had the Massaman lamb shank curry 🍛 and the Massaman beef curry they were so delish! My husband had an Espresso Martini and I had a Mocktail, both wonderful! Will definitely be back, we loved 💕 everything, nice friendly staff also! Well done 👍🏼 Chong Co Thai Pac Fair! T xx 😘

Staff were very lovely & helpful. And the food was amazing. Good range of meals and reasonably priced. All our dishes were hot & full of flavour. Fantastic place for lunch & we'll definitely be going back again.

Ordered online and got 20% off. The pork bao is cheap, delicious and fresh. The crackling is crispy, the bun is soft/fluffy and it’s served with a hoisin sauce. Would definitely get again. Also got a lamb shank massaman curry with coconut rice and roti. The roti is nice and flaky but pretty small. The serving of rice (size small) was more than substantial. The lamb shank was soft and falling off the bone. It was served with two whole small potatoes. They tasted like they were boiled separately then just placed in the curry so they didn’t have any flavour. Skin was on which probably prevented the curry from penetrating the potato. I would have liked if maybe the potatoes were cut up and maybe pan fried or grilled to give it more flavour. But overall, a delicious and filling meal. Enough to feed 2x people with smallish appetite or one hungry person. Prices at 20% off are reasonable, a tad expensive at full price.

I was a bit skeptical after seeing the rating was low from other reviews, but thought I’d give it a go since friends wanted to try. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Staff was informative and efficient. They were happy to do split bill for three families. <br/><br/>Food was served few minutes after we ordered. I understand this could mean it was precooked and they just scooped it out but everything was nicely presented and more importantly, all cooked it perfection and tasted delicious. you can choose how spicy you want the dish to be. <br/><br/>The crispy pork salad was very impressive. Pork wasn’t fatty and crackling was crispy but not too hard. All the herbs and dressing was so refreshing! Loved it! The green chicken curry was loved by a few ppl. Satay chicken skewers were super delish too. Basically everything everyone ordered al came exactly how we ordered it and all delicious! Highly recommend!!!

We went for lunch, it wasn’t busy when we got there. The staff didn’t give off a good first impression. Waited 20-25 minutes for food to come out, I would understand if it was busy and if our meals were complicated but it wasn’t. Ordered BBQ chicken with rice and Roast pork with rice (we ordered noodles but got rice instead). The food consisted of probably 85% of rice and salad mix. The pork belly only had 4-5 slices of thin meat and the cracking was rubbery and had some weird sauce smothered in top. The chicken was roughly the size of a boiled egg. Also had the spicy beef noodle. I can credit them for having the spiciness in the dish but can’t taste much any other flavours and the beef was chewy and over-cooked. Lastly, the service was poor up to when we paid. Would not recommend coming here, you would get better service and food at an Asian Foodcourt shop.

I’ve visited Thailand 3 times in the past 12 months and let me tell you the beef masaman curry here was just as good and even better than some in Thailand. <br/>I went on Sunday lunch time and it was raining, so it was quite busy but the service was great and took about 15 minutes. <br/>I’m not complaining and would highly recommend.<br/>Oh and the margaritas where great too.<br/>

Went here today for a very early dinner. The place was not busy at all so we were shown a seat and given menus. However we had to try several times before we were able to get their attention when we were ready fo order. The drinks came out quite promptly and the food followed soon after. The portions were standard in size but the prices were a bit on the higher end. The food wasn’t anything extraordinary, it was just standard, especially the pad Thai which was quite tasteless. The iced coffee I ordered was a bit too sweet. The experience wasn’t as bad as what some of the other diners had but don’t think we will be returning back here anytime soon.

Despite some of the low reviews, my partner and I had a positive dining experience here. We ordered the beef salad and pad Thai with chicken. The beef salad was tasty, fresh and beef cooked well. The pad Thai was also delicious and had a good balance of flavours. The service was on the slower side but friendly enough. Prices are a little higher for portion size but is it expected due to its location.

I been this one several times. But I will not go there anymore. Every single time their service is very bad. They took order wrong and they said sound like my fault. Today I had pork ribs that looks like kid meal. Kid meal for $28. I m chef as well. It could be cost less then $6. when I complained they said that s right size for pork ribs.. I had 2 pictures pork rib from this one size totally different. Their service too bad. I will not go there for taking bad service anymore.

Unfortunately, the food was nothing special like other Thai food that we have had. Overpriced for what you get. Value for money, very poor. Quite an unpleasant experience. Disappointing to see top prices for very basic cuisine.

I’ve never been to any Thai restaurant so unfriendly and even rude. The food is alright but overly priced and in very small portion. They won’t even serve water before you order. We asked if they accept card, the girl literally looked into my wallet and told me you have enough cash!

My family came for lunch. We were disappointed to see the lack of efficient service during our time there. My daughters had to walk up to the waitresses to order and were then told to sit back down. Our order was then taken about 5 minutes later by a waiter. He was not very approachable, friendly or accommodating. I asked for some sauce for my meal and 2 sharing bowls, to which he responded in a rude tone "Anything else?" The fried rice we had was undercooked, and portions were average but considerably overpriced for the value that we received. The undercooked fried rice I had to pay for was over $20. Overall, nothing special about the food, there are better Thai restaurants out there. Service DEFINITELY needs to be improved. We won't be coming back.

Ordered stir fry beef & vegies. Only 5 pieces of beef in the meal, what a disappointment. The most expensive rice & veg dish I have ever ordered.<br/>Cannot recommend.

Beautifully presented thai resto and looks very expensive too. <br/><br/>My cousin got herself a padthai cost around $16. When it came out it did not looked worth the price aka bad presentation and the portion was quite small. The food tasted good aside the bad look. <br/><br/>Will I come back?? Maybe...

The place looked promising with the nice fit out and atmosphere but that's where it ended. Ordered massaman curry which took almost an hour to arrive and then when it came it was as liquidy as soup. I sent it back and they brought me another with a better consistency but upon my first mouthful, mostly just tasted of sugar and salt. It was so salty it burned the throat. By that stage I was over it. My wife's vegetarian salad was $19 and mostly contained shallots and purple onion. VERY DISAPPOINTING

The service was good<br/>The food was so so, nothing special. The basil chicken's taste was quite different than the one I used to eat. <br/>Overall, an okay expirience

In search for the best Thai in GC...still cant find it yet😂spent $90 for lunch(2 mocktails,prawm betel leave for entree, lamb shank masaman curry, honey prawn , coconut rice, fried ice cream for dessert)<br/>Food came out looking beautiful. Good service. I gave them 3.0 for a nice entree and the honey prawn was delicious with nice crunchy noodles n spring onion.The lamb shank wasn't falling off the bone..just average.the worst dish i had would be the Coconut rice to accompany my curry.it was dizzle with coconut milk & SWEET...i couldn't enjoyed my curry with it as tasted just like dessert.plus my sweet honey prawn..just overly sweetness.I should have just order plain rice.Anyway,my biggest disappointment would be my fried ice cream..it wasn't fully crisp so the filo pastry was chewy..not super crunchy..the vanila ice cream was average. Sorry i wont be back any time sooner.

A few weeks ago my wife and I purchased a groupon deal for this place and decided to try while we were at Gold Coast. Located in Pacific Fair at the patio area, this Thai restaurant may be one of the best around! Decor was quite nice and felt like a high end restaurant, staffs were very friendly and helpful, and atmosphere was great with the open glass kitchen. The menu was extensive and the choices seem slightly towards the fusion style Thai cuisine. Normal prices could be slightly higher than expected, however since we had a groupon deal, everything didn't seem too exy. All food came very promptly and wow it really did surprised us in quality. This place could possibly pass for a fine dining Thai restaurant. The fine details on each dish along with the balance of flavours, colours, aromas, textures, tenderness with all proteins, and visual stimulation was quite spot on! I can definitely relate some authenticity of Thai foods coming from the kitchen. Reminds me eating Thai food in Phuket where some high-end restaurant there mixes the traditional elements with the western & chinese to cater for creativity in the modern taste buds. Not forgetting that we're sitting inside a diner at the mall... Quite surprised something like this belonging here and not outside in their own little temple. Anyhow our lunch was quite exquisite and will definitely return again when in Pacific Fair ;)

Yum! Stopped by for a quick lunch after some shopping at Pacific Fair. (This restaurant is one in the new area, The Patio.)<br/>Excellent Thai meals for two, for $28.<br/>I really enjoyed a rich, flavoursome green curry chicken, he loved the seafood tom yum soup. Both were from the lunch specials menu and were a generous size.<br/>I've also had the beef masaman curry from the lunch special menu previously - it was fabulous.<br/>Lovely decor, couldn't fault our lunch today.<br/>You can also see the cooks working in the kitchen, located in the middle of the restaurant.<br/>Definitely will return.
