I love this place! I have visited so many times in the past. They renovated about 8 months ago and so I re-visited. The ambience and decor is great! Hands down, the best crispy pork 🐷 belly dish I have had! On every piece the skin is actually crispy, unlike other places that claim the same and the skin comes out soggy. The chicken satay sticks 🍢 were yummy 😋 one friend ordered a green curry 🍛 which I tried and it was so flavoursome! Another friend ordered the lamb shanks which I also tried and must say was divine, it fell apart and just melted in my mouth! This is my fail proof Thai spot! Will definitely be re-visiting 🤗

A touch of elegance
Often when you go to Thai restaurants, you are forced to share a small table in a cramped and small establishment. Well look no further. This restaurant is very large and spacious and comfortable. So big you can give a western style engagement or wedding here. (Not that they do weddings or engagements here…. I’m just saying).
There was a group of 5 of us here and due to Easter, we were all lenting. The staff were so friendly and willing to change the menu or ingredients for us and we were thankful.
So why this Thai restaurant over others, well simply because:
Food – Very delicious and fresh. We ordered Curry Puffs, Spring Rolls, Chilli Basil Fried Rice, Pineapple Fried Rice, Pad See Ew. All of us enjoyed our meals. I would probably suggest that the Chilli Basil Fried Rice will need to be a bit more spicier. The presentation of the food was terrific and a great portion was served.
Establishment – This restaurant is comfortable to dine at. There is plenty of room, decent size seating and tables and due to its size; you don’t have to yell to speak to your companions. It has a great ambiance with low volume of music in the background again loud enough so that you can have a decent conversation with your peers.
Value – The dishes were in line with other Thai eateries.
What I would recommend to the restaurant:
Change the lounge seating to chairs as it is easier to sit on and be comfortable
Make the chilli basil fried rice a bit more chilli
Have one or two more vegetarian entrée meals.

Thai has been one of my favourite food since I have moved out of India. Two reasons - quick to prepare and tastes delicious. Chilli jam has become one of the best Thai place so far. The food was scrumptious especially their pad Thai and stir fries. Highly recommended place!

It had been about 3 years since I last came here and I have to say the place does not disappoint. Ambiance is great and the food is truly spectacular. We had the prawn cakes as entries... outstanding!! Full of prawn & flavor. My main, the seafood hot pot was just perfect with steam rice... bought my own wine in. A def place to go again & again
We've been coming to Chilli Jam since it opened, 10 years ago. Every meal is highly anticipated and each time we are rewarded with delicious flavours and fragrances. The decor is funky and there are even hints from the Chinese restaurant that used to be in this location. That said, the seating is uncomfortable (heavy and low wooden chairs, albeit with plenty of cushions) and can be awkward at times. Service is always warm and friendly, even on busy nights. Highly recommended.
We came here for dinner for a birthday. Delicious meals, prompt service and great vibe 👍🏼 cocktails well priced, would definitely recommend
My go-to safe place for Thai in Concord. I have been going here since high school and bringing a different friend each time, it has never failed me & my company in leaving the premises with a happy stomach.
I often always order one of 4 items at a Thai eatery & this time I opted for my favourite Thai Beef Salad whilst my friend ordered spring rolls as we were still full from lunch.
The beef was a little tougher than what I'm used to and it had a unique spring of shrimp flavour that was very interesting.
Spring rolls were HOT. They weren't bad.
Re-edit:
Pad See We was skittle overly cooked but I loved the Smokey texture it came with. Definitely would get it again.
Fried rice was decent and flavoursome.
Great ambience, don't ever feel intruded here.
I think Chilli Jam in Parramatta is amazing,one of my favourite thai places.
This place not so much. Still enjoyed it but doesn't have the flavour explosion I experience in my mouth with the Parramatta branch
It was a busy Friday night and food did take a while to come out
What I found funny was this overly long plate to hold the satay sticks on it. Hilarious! Look at my photos. There is so much space on that plate
The noodles came out in a bowl smaller than expected while others come out in big plates but it doesn't mean portions are big
Presentation with the food is excellent,it makes it look appetising
The food itself though a little disappointing
Some of it was a little more salty than expected. I was expecting more taste from the massaman lamb,same with the duck curry
Don't get me wrong the food is still good but I had a choice I would goto Parramatta branch
The food here was awesome! The interior is very nice with candles and large bench chairs with big cushions to sit on. The sauces are all delicious; you'll want to keep licking the sauces off your cutlery. I would recommend the barramundi, as that was my favourite dish of the night.
One of the more premium priced Thai restaurants in the area but the food is always spot on. Great flavours, impeccable service and a nicely appointed dining space always makes for a great dining experience.
On this occasion, we popped in for a quick snack of Ka Nom Jee, prawn and chicken dumplings served with a chilli and sweet soy dipping sauce. Delicious!
very well laid out restaurant and dining experience, fresh Thai ingredients and flavours, awesome cocktails and very friendly staff, keep it up guys!

Chilli Jam is my favourite local Thai restaurant. They are always so consistent with their dishes. It is a very popular restaurant, always being the busier one out of the lot.
I've never had a bad dish here and it's hard to choose the best ones. I definitely recommend the curries though, my favourite is probably the yellow curry. The papaya salads are full of flavour and made perfectly. I had the deep fried whole barramundi and that was great.
Definitely a local gem and a place to go with any sized group. If I'm not able to eat in, I love to get delivery!
Absolute art of the massamum curry. No other massamum curry can win this one! This is a must try. I hope they give some more though the plate is too small with too little food.. The staff are friendly too.
Great atmosphere and semi-sophisticated look. Food is great, some meals a little privet but good flavour. I'm always a fan of the Chilli Jam restaurants
When it comes to fine dining Thai is certainly a preferred cuisine. Our friends suggested this place to us. The food was delicious. All items we ordered in the Entrée as well as mains were very good. Special mention for Spring Roll, Satay and the Thai Green curry.
The service was very prompt.
The interiors were average. But a worthwhile place for good food.

Sah wah dee kah 💁 Concord has many Thai restaurants but I reckon Chilli Jam is the best in the area.
First of all, the premises is very spacious and the interior is very beautiful which gives it that feeling you're in Thailand! Staff were also very friendly and attentive.
Most importantly, the food was amazing too. I recommend you give the pineapple fried rice a try which is amazing in both taste and presentation!
They are really good. The food is reliable. Good Thai food. Nice service. Great takeaway or easy access. Many suppers from this restaurant.
Chilli Jam is by far my favourite Thai restaurant in Sydney. I've been coming here for years and the food is great. Generous portions, great flavours and attentive service (except on busy nights when the wait staff are run off their feet!)
Make sure to try the taro puffs if it's the only thing you do. Served with sweet chilli sauce, they are out of this world amazing and many of my friends are now hooked onto them.
Had my birthday here a few months ago too, and everything was taken care of very well.
Can't wait to be back!
Ive been here many times and it ranks among the best thai food in Sydney. Its BYO and the people are very friendly. There wouldnt e mire than one ordering mistake in going every week for a year.
Chilli Jam rarely disappoints. It doesn’t offer the most modern or innovative Thai dishes, but it’s still a great place to go grab a bite: relatively inexpensive, with a decent menu, and a relaxed environment suitable for a family dinner, a quiet night out with friends or a loved one. Don’t expect to get great service here though. This week, The Boyfriend and I went to the Gladesville restaurant, and it took a while for someone to come greet us at the door, and even longer to take our order, bring our food out, and bring the bill at the end of our meal. I even overheard the father of a family of four (seated right behind us) complaining that they’d waited an hour for their meal, and demanding to know why other customers – who had arrived or ordered later – had been served first? This was quite surprising because it was a Tuesday night, and the place was far from busy. Mixed entree (four pieces) – $8.90 We started off with the mixed entree,
To be honest, I don't know if it tasted better because of the fact it was served in a pineapple. I always fall for those types of presentations so I never really know! The pad thai was so good we ended up ordering a second plate, everyone wanted more. Everyone wanted more!!
Ordering take-out from Chilli Jam, Concord is always a treat :) It’s even better when your food gets delivered straight to your doorstep on a cold and rainy night! I made my online order through Eat Now and it was so easy to order from. Once the payment was processed (they accept Visa, Mastercard, Paypal and AMEX - woohoo!) , I was sent an email and text as confirmation. FYI, ‘ASAP Delivery’ takes roughly 45min-1hour from time of ordering but that’s quite decent considering it would take half that time to cook the food! Just thought I would add that in because some of the reviews on Eat Now commented on the time of delivery. Even though it was pouring rain outside, my order was dry and still very warm. Arrived in just under 45min ^^ Seafood Curry Pot - Freshly grilled king prawn, black mussel, squid, fish fillet, cooked in curry paste, egg, coconut milk $23.90 Generous serving packed with an abundance of seafood and they don’t skimp

Consistently good food. Shop is large, and spacious. outdoor tables are very small and uneven but the interior decor is impressive. Big seats and big comfortable cushions fill the centre while pillow filled benches line the sides. Staff seem generally unhappy or rude, both on the phone and in store. Food is quite consistent and most of the menu is delicious. The BBQ pork and sticky rice dish does not use good pork and the portion size is small, which is disappointing. The whole street food menu is great. The Pad Thai which comes in a generous serving is a thicker noodle and a little sweeter than I'm used to. Massaman curry is great with very tender beef that falls apart, and cashews compliment it better than the more commonly used peanuts. Most things on this menu are winners and the prices of the mains are reasonable. Make a reservation for weekends because this place gets crowded. Venue is very accommodating of large groups. Bring a group of friends for some good food and a good time.
Very Good Thai. One of my favorite Thai restaurant. Try pineapple fried rice and BBQ chicken salad. Yum!!
Fresh and tasty Thai.
Great food, generous servings and friendly staff! I've been a couple of times for lunch and wasn't disappointed.
Great food but not enough wait staff. The poor staff that were working were completely flat out but still it was difficult to order food and drinks. I'd recommend for takeaway I think.
I love this restaurant and love everything I've ever eaten there. I've been going fortnightly for about 2 years. The spring rolls are amazing!
Yum! I always ask for extra veggies and this is the only place that follows through with my request. Good food nice atmosphere.
Always delivers quality food with quality service. Wonderful ambience and lovely decor.
The restaurant itself is fantastic. Great place, wonderful atmosphere, there's even outdoor seating for those willing to brave the cold!
Been there a few times... Love the food
Good service,
Nice place to sit and eat
Plenty of options
Great food, large portions
Helpful staff on dish suggestions
Absolutely my favourite restaurant. Staffs are always gorgeous and friendly. Service and food are consistently excellent. Fabulous experience every time I dine in! Thanks
Food was consistently good. Service was ok this occasion absolutely hopeless. If you’re a local it’s a must try. Recommend
I love this place!!! The food is delicious with nice hit of authetic thai spice. Bigger serving size = more food and bang for buck🤩🤑
Not bad for a franchise! Great go-to for the local area. The padseeew is my favourite! Has a Smokey flavour to it.
Staff are efficient, but not always attentive, usually hurrying off to work other tables. But I've never been ignored or left sitting waiting for food. I always go to the counter to pay as the bill never seems to arrive at the table. Food delicious, worth the price. Bbq beef salad excellent.
The food is very tasty and servings generous. The staff attentive.
