Love this place, it's a very casual dining with lovely staff and AMAZING FRESH Thai food.
Chicken wings, papaya salad, Thai beef salad, Tom yum, soft shell crab, pad Thai and massaman are all very very tasty.
GO!
Delicious and well-priced Thai food in The Spot, Randwick. The service is very friendly and efficient. Prawn dumplings were fresh and delicious, and both the prawn hot plate and choo chee curry were great.
I had a great meal here. A searingly hot tom yum prawn soup - exactly as I asked for - followed by a very good duck red curry - great authentic and nuanced flavor and plenty of duck. A tiny wine list but what they've got is good and it's BYO too. Decor is great and the service is very fast. Only criticism would be that the desserts are a bit limited - no black sticky rice for example.
Another excellent Thai in "The Spot" restaurant precinct. Service efficient... Food great... We had mixed entree, beef masaman curry, coconut rice and roti. All on point!! Changi beer $5.50 and food prices also really reasonable. Was super busy which is a good indication it's good!!
Choa Praya is my favourite destination for Thai when I am in the spot at Randwick. Great place to have a quick meal before the movies. Recommend their green curry, makes me feel like I am back in Thailand.
Decent food and authentic decor. This place used to be a lot busier but I think Thai Riffic is the main star of the show in the Spot these days.
Chao Praya Thai restaurant is perfect for your everyday Thai fix. They also cater for vegetarian diners. One of their interesting items on the menu was their green curry salmon. It was the first time I had curry with salmon, and it was beautiful! The fact that it was priced at under $20 made us felt a lot happier!
Our last main course of the day was Masamun Beef Curry. We usually try to find this dish when we go to Thai restaurant because it is possibly the mildest curry of them all.
The food was good. The portion sizes are pretty big. We made the mistake of ordering two starters and two mains. We really only needed one main.
Shocked to read about poor service and food. Perhaps they have gotten rid of that staff member as I went tonight and was greeted politely by not just one waitress but THREE. The food was delicious and I found the staff to be polite and friendly, with quick service.
Yep pretty good prices, fantastic angl-Thai. I just go here for the vegetarian friendly curries

A regular lunchtime favorite. Located in a restaurant hub around Randwick Ritz Cinemas, Chao Praya is the only one of the Thai restaurant that opens every day for lunch. It is the one that people in the know will recommend. They are a casual informal local Thai place, with tasty food, and good portions.
When I want an inexpensive good local lunch meal, I come here. I'll usually have the green curry with either chicken or beef.
For dinner, they can be busy, but they have a large dining area out back, that you cannot see from the window.
The Competition: Thai Not So Terrific.
Sure, for dinner they have 'competition', but I'll simply say this. Thai Terrific, on the corner, opposite, is no longer Terrific, (In 2006 it was, but that's a long time ago) and their staff can be abrupt to the point of rude, and either unresponsive, or unable to speak or understand english. Their portions are very small for a Thai restaurant. Interestingly, their sister restaurant in Cronulla is exactly the same!
If you want to catch a meal after a movie, and want to have Thai, then Chao Praya is the one I recommend.
Whilst the atmosphere is informal, chao praya produces the best Thai food in randwick. Prices are very reaonable, and the servings are generous.
Quick service. Food smelled so good and delicious. The portion for the deep fried soft shell crab could be bigger for the price charged. Other than that all was good.
Chao Praya is the oldest Thai restaurant in the Spot (hence my loyalty). The staff are always very friendly & routinely check to see if you need anything during my dine in experiences.
The sign of a great restaurant, is that they are consistently very busy, with dine in customers- especially other Thai diners!!
The food is always, fresh, well cooked & delicious!!
I highly recommend dining at Chao Praya - you won't be disappointed!!
A nice Thai restaurant in the Randwick Spot that offers a wide range of Thai dishes at a great value. The have lunch specials for only $9.9 and a lunch set (one main with one entrée and one soft drink) for $12.50. There are also many choices of Entrees and I liked the Marinated chicken breast wrapped in fragrant pandan leaves (Gai Haw Bai Toey).
I'm a regular ay Chao Praya because their food is delicious and the staff are friendly. They're always obliging with gluten free requests which is a must for me and my family.
This place has been my goto takeaway/home delivery Thai for years! The food is always fresh, tasty and hot. I won’t be changing anytime soon.
