We had a desire for some good wholesome food and walked around Newtown and just went in here on a whim. We weren't disappointed by the amazing Thai fare on offer. Their Satay chicken skewers had a rich and crunchy peanut texture and were creamy and delightful. The fish cakes retained their shape well and were delicious as well. I had their Salmon green curry and the Salmon was cooked perfectly with a lovely thin crispy skin layer glistening amidst the curry. It just added a great depth to the veggies in the green curry and it worked well. My partner's prawn Pad Thai noodles were great too. The tables are a bit crowded but it makes for a nice and cosy ambience. Overall one of the better Thai places I've been to in Sydney.
Ordered the beef pad Thai here and the lemon lime bitter drink. If you like your pad Thai with more soy sauce you’ll like this place. I personally prefer my pad Thai a little sweeter but it tasted fine and came out fast. Service was good.
Always been a favourite Thai restaurant to order delivery dinner from. The average price of dishes are between $10 and $12 and the portions are generous even for the cheap price. Their food is authentic and the taste is always consistent. I love their pad see ew, lard na pork (like pad see ew but drenched in a thick sauce yum!) and bbq pork. Their Tom yum soup is super delicious but can be spicy but I wouldn’t change it!
i love this place. The poor wait staff can be run off their feet sometimes but they'll always get to you. I go for lunch often and well it's cheap and quick. Perfect 'duck in-duck-out' lunch'. The cook is also accommodating if you make request (I generally ask them to lay off on the oil as they tend to use a lot). I've paid a lot more for Thai and found it far less tasty than Newtown Thai. It fits in well with newtown and I'll keep going back.
Have been getting the lunchtime special for years has never let me down .Fast and efficient for takeaway or eat-in. Good choice for vegetarians .
Very approachable, close from where I usually am at uni. It's a great place to have pad thai's and other thai dishes, but I usually just get the same thing every time I go.
One of the best places to have authentic Thai Food.Located in the heart of the Newtown this place can give you all sorts of varieties u prefer in Thai Food in affordable prices.Very friendly staff .Overall a nice place to enjoy your lunch
Been here many times with colleagues. It is not the best Thai I had but certainly good for the price. 7 dollars lunch special. The menu is the same as most Sydney Thai. Chilli basil fried rice has probably the biggest serving among all.
Enjoyed a great cheap meal here, good food, good service and good prices, definitely recommend if you are in the area and looking for a nice Thai meal.
Newtown Thai has been around for a long time. I remember coming here when I was a student for a nice thai meal for a for value price. It's lasted the test of time and is still serving a decent thai lunch - I love a good thick rice noodle in a pad see ewe. It can get very busy with local students. I'd def come here more often if I was a local.
Came on a Saturday night and it was packed, which is always a good sign. I got a beef massaman curry which was excellent. Everything on the menu was affordable, and with it being a BYO, it made it a pretty cheap night out. Would definitely come back again!
If you just want a good simple Thai meal, this is where it’s at. The pad thai is the perfect balance of sweet and savoury, the pad see ew (no photo, sorry) is my favourite and the curries all hit the spot. And the garlic pepper stir fry! Awesome.
Best value for money Thai in Newtown! I always order the barbecue pork from this place and it's ALWAYS good. It's got a sweet tangy taste to it which goes perfectly well with their fried rice.
Other items to look out for are the Hokkien Noodles, Yellow Curry, and the classic Oyster sauce (with your choice of meat).
The only real bummer is the noise: as with most restos in Newtown, it gets quite loud and busy on Saturday evenings.
Where students and spendthrifts can rejoice. A very reliable favourite that takes me back to my student days. What is a cheap Thai lunch at Newtown Thai was high-end dining for me back when I was 19! But it is still a very good thing here, for students and non-students alike. Three of us shared two dishes for lunch, we walked out the door very satisfied having only spent $6 each. Bargain.
Great for lunch. Still one of the cheapest & best for Thai food!
Food baby. Had the pad thai for lunch, and it was delicious! Full of flavour and aroma, and for $7 a plate you get a huge serving :)
Hunger savers!. Recently we went to this place (after a TERRIBLE experience across the road at the Newtown hotel) and though they were 20mins from closing they accommodated myself and my 8 friends happily.
The food came so fast (thank god cause we were starving!) and it was fantastic! I'm very picky with my meats, but theirs were lean and fresh. The flavours were awesome and very reasonably priced.
The service should also be mentioned; We had explained what had happened to us across the road and they stayed open just for us to finish our meals at our leisure. They closed up around us and we paid in advance (so they could finalize everything) but not once were we disturbed. It was the best end to a crap start of a night!
Its BYO and the food is great! Definitely going again!
I wouldve posted a pic, but the food didnt stay on the plate long ;P
Always quick service and good food
Just amazing... ALL the time! :)))
Went to this place for lunch yesterday and loved it! Food was delicious and very good value! Service wasnt the greatest! But the price was right! we ordered 2 entree's, 2 mains and a drink for under $30! big servings, will be going back!
Like being in thailand. The food here is extremely good, you can't go wrong. the flavors are traditional and spot on, it's quick, and very affordable.
the Pad Kee Mao is a must-have, and all of the curries are awesome! Also very good Tom Yum soup.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. This is amazing!!! Incredible food, no BYO charge - so fast, great service! The prices are so reasonable. Its not worth cooking.
This food is THE best! Red and Green curries are to die for.
We haven't had a better pad thai in Sydney.
A friendly place. A personal favourite of mine. Menu item 40 is a must.
Lunch time menu is great. I'll keep coming back. Yummy simple Thai food, lots of vege's! Just how I like it!
Great value meals for lunch, including weekends! The Pad Thai was a bit on the sweeter side, in fact it was too sweet for me. The fried rice was good, and the chicken chilli basil was excellent.
Great value! Highly recommended
Friendly customer service. Tasty food. only tofu and veggies for vegetarians, not fake meat options. Big portion and not expensive. It lacks the 'fancyness' of other places in Newtown. But who cares: I just want great Thai food and I got it. Definitely coming back.
Came here with some friends because of an EatClub deal. Really surprised by the mixed reviews because all of our food was fantastic and far better than expected, despite their current lack of staff due to covid. We had spring rolls, satay chicken, tofu green curry, pad Thai and crispy pork with Chinese broccoli and everything was delicious, fresh and tasty and the prices very reasonable, even without the deal. Would definitely come here again over other places I’ve tried in the area. Thanks for a great meal :)
Nice beef noodle soup, reasonable price with high quality beef slices, yummy boat noodles soup.
This casual eatery cannot be beat for value! $8 lunch specials which are seriously yummy! Yellow chicken curry, Pad Thai, Pad See Ew and fried rice are very similar to the taste you will get in Thailand. Get your meal as a combo with a spring roll, curry puff and can of coke for $11.9 total and you will walk out very happy!
This is my first favourite Thai places in town! Can never go past the 7 dollar lunch specials. Generous servings, authentic Thai flavours, fast and friendly service, great food. Could eat here every day.
Always good to eat in Newton Thai restaurant. Authentic Thai food and the staff always friendly.
