Having heard great things about Khao Pla I was interested in how I would find it, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Having lived in Thailand for 7 years I've sampled the wide spectrum of Thai cuisine and yesterday's lunch left me in no doubt this is up there with the very best, both here and in Thailand. We had 5 dishes between us and in my mind they ranged from very good to sensational.
The standout dish for me was the Banana Blossom Salad, a perfect blend of sweet, sour, salt and chilli with poached chicken and prawns. To die for! The best Crying Tiger I have ever tasted- succulent wagyu beef with a perfectly balanced dipping sauce. And don't miss the Sticky Black Rice for dessert- served on a tapioca base with Thai tea ice cream and jackfruit. Simply divine...
The only complaint I had was that it gets very noisy when full and my elderly mum struggled to hear the conversation. A small price to pay when you get to eat the best Thai I've had in Australia, and up there with the best ever.
Well done Pla, we will be back!
The best Thai food I and my partner have ever had so far!!! Not even one of the best but the BEST!!! Beat Chat Thai for sure.
Food was served fast and staff there were so lovely :) Twice cooked pork ribs and fish curry in banana leaf are exceptional. That Thai iced tea ice cream though � is def the top of the night.
We will keep coming for more!!!
We love the red curry, chicken skewers and the mango sticky rice dessert they used to have. However, on our last visit over a month ago, the waitress was extremely rude. She kept mentioning the prices to everything and how the rice was going to cost an additional 3$ as if to say we couldn't afford it. We have just not returned even though we love the food.
Massaman beef was quite good. Service was great as well.
Although Thai sticky rice tasted like it was cooked yesterday, cold and not sticky at all.
Great food and great service. Didn't habe to wait too long for the food. Will be back.
My favourite Thai restaurant in Chatswood!
Service is quite good, and the food is just 👌
It’s also well priced, not particularly cheap but still good for what you get.
Although when they warn you a dish is chilli, it is REALLY FRICKIN CHILLI! Couldn’t finish more than 1/4 of my noodles before I had an intense stomach ache and my mouth could no longer feel anything 🤣
Also, don’t take away, for some reason it becomes terrible. The noodles become intensely sweet and they all clump together.
This is the second time I have come. The place is always so busy and that is understandable as the food is amazing. Love their Moo Ping - Pork Skewers and their pad see Eiw and their kana moo krob was very tasty.
Moo ping: pork skewer ($3.50), muek yang: baby octopus skewer ($3.50), kana moo krob: chinese brocolli and pork belly ($17) and thai-style biryani: fragrant rice, chilli dip, beef cheeks ($16.50). All the dishes were well-executed. I especially liked the rice dish with its use of herbs, tumeric and spice making it fragrant and the braised beef, melt in your mouth. My boyfriend enjoyed the skewers but I don’t think they were necessary. There was heaps of leftovers after our meal too as the portion sizes are so generous.
This place is definitely one of my favorite Thai restaurants in Sydney. If you love authentic flavor of Thai food, you are sure to get it at Khao Pla. The taste is similar from Thai food that I had in Thailand, maybe not as spicy but still very flavorful. My favorite dishes here are tom yum goong and seafood fried rice. The Pad See Yiew is a bit too oily but I guess that is how it should be. Staff are nice and they would inform you if the food you ordered is spicy or not. Overall it's worth the money.
Nice friendly busy restaurant.
Nice wine list great foods.
Salt and pepper calamari was so beautiful!
Only steak tartare was not excellent
Best fried rice in Sydney. Best place for Thai cuisine. Visit there once a week.
Khao pla chatswood, serious contender for best thai food in town.. it’s on top my go to thai restaurant. Come a bit early for dinner as they are usually crowded. For me, they have the best green curry and grilled beef tongue. banana blossom also my other favourite.. I have been here 4-5 times (also in macquarie centre) and will keep coming back.. they are so good
Went on a busy Friday night and the staff were generally quite attentive despite being very busy. The restraurant decor and fit out were nice. The pork ribs are sweet and were our favourite dish, a must order. The pear salad with soft shell crab was a little less crunchy than we would like and the garlic was quite strong, however it’s noteworthy for its flavour. The pad Thai was also very heavy on the garlic which was a bit overwhelming. The Tom yum goong was too sour for my palette.
I enjoyed the food. Red curry duck was good, duck meat was tender and the curry was fragrant. Mixed fried greens were fresh and yummy. The presentation of the pork ribs (we had eaten one rib before the photo was taken) was good and taste was ok. These 3 dishes with 1 jasmine rice cost us $62.
Nice Thai foods in Chatswood. The pork belly is cooked perfectly and really crispy. The massamman beef is tender and full of flavors. Love the vibe.
