We haven't been here before so went based on reasonably good Zomato reviews. We were suitably impressed with the prompt service and yummy food. It was very full going in so that was a good sign!!! It was certainly above expectations and if we are ever in the area again we will go back!

Great reliable local restaurant with very friendly staff. We had the pork belly with greens - pork belly was crispy and juicy. Also had the pud bai grapow with chicken - delicious. Curry puffs are a must.

We we’re watching a Thai travel show so felt the need for pad Thai tonight and got Uber Eats from King & I tonight. A good tasty tangy Pad Thai with chicken. We also ordered a Green Chicken curry and roti and peanut satay. The green curry had a great amount of heat. Foolishly we forgot to order rice but had it in ramekins almost like a soup instead. Delicious. Probably best Uber eats Thai I’ve had in the area and quite a quick delivery time.

Omg Omg absolutely fabulous. Went for birthday dinner on 18th October and it was amazing. Had the usual unbelievable duck wraps and then mains of pad see ewe, prik pow and a new dish of fish with apple salad which was amazing. Love love love this place and the Manager even though he no longer wears his red sneakers is so nice and hospitable. Will go back again and again and again. Keep up the great work

Delicious and well priced. Thai Green Curry was amazing and Coconut Rice was perfect. We weren’t a huge fan of the Roti and the portion size of the peanut sauce was on the small side.

I’ve been coming to King and I for delicious Thai food for years. However, it’s been a little while since my last visit so I decided to order some takeaway.
We chose the massaman curry with lamb, duck wraps and pad Thai with chicken.
All were absolutely delicious! I knew that the curry and pad Thai would be great, however I ordered the duck wraps on a whim and they turned out to be amazing! Kind of like the Thai version of Peking duck but with roti. So good!

We come here regularly because we love the food! The service with Scott and the good value of the prices makes it a good night out. Love pad thai, bad pow grapow, saytay, roti, and the curries

This restaurant is quite a nice surprise. We meant to go to the Korean BBQ a few doors down but the queue there was intense, no way we got a table without a booking. So we walked out and wandered past this restaurant. There was still a table available, we decided to try it.

I thought at first the menu was typical Thai cuisine catered to suit westerners. Everything would be milder and lack a bit of spice kick.
But when our food came, it was delicious. The crispy pork belly with asian broccoli was crunchy and full of flavour. The beef green curry was fresh, the veggies and the tender beef made a nice combination. Thai fried rice was a bit bland and I can't really taste the tom yum but it was still good especially when I added chopped chillies.

The staffs can be a bit absent minded but overall they're friendly & accommodating. King and I is a reliable little Thai restaurant with excellent standard and is reasonably priced too.

This is our reliable local Thai. Works well for all the family and manages larger bookings well. Having Purvis next door is great for BYO. We love the rockling fish and vegetables dishes

Cold in winter but rug up and enjoy it!. This place wont win any interior design awards, but the food is what it's all about. The owner is the chef - and she's brilliant with her multifaceted flavours and menu......and her husband Scott runs the floor with a very casual friendly ease. It's always busy so book a table, and parking is easy up the side street- sort of behind the restaurant.
(Oh and there's a well stocked bottle shop right next door )

It wouldn't be my first choice but overall the food was tasty with well sized portions at a reasonable price. The only complaints were the roti which was a bit dry and the Tom Yum which was a bit sweet/salty.
I recommend the Red Duck and Larp Gai

Comfortable, tasty and friendly. We had a family gathering at the 'king and I' and really enjoyed the experience. The service very friendly and food came out quickly. I had the steamed fish which was spicy and delicious, other meals on the table were also tasty. A very friendly and casual restaurant that we would recommend

Long live the King. Took the kids here nearly 2 weeks ago. Busy Friday night seated upstairs. Chicken satay and roti were excellent. Good serving size. Chicken bai grapow, Chicken pad king & pork bbq stir fry. All excellent dishes. Kids loved them. Plenty of rice. Good service (for a Thai restaurant!) and large serves. Allowed to take a "doggy bag" home. Prices were on the high side but not unreasonable. Kids told me this was their favourite Thai place. I agree.

The food is phenomenal, our entree, salad and fried rice are all fresh and rich in flavours. Price is very affordable for a night out, around $60 for a dinner for two. The only reason it isn't a 5-star is the waiter accidentally takes away our clay pot without double checking with us and it's already thrown away by the time we ask. Will be back again. A great little local gem

It's been a while since we have been to King and I. The food is still excellent and staff friendly and helpful. Portion size is very generous. Really handy to have Purvis next door to get a bottle of wine. Wish we still lived close by to go more often but worth the extra drive time, will be back soon.

Absolutely delicious meal, and super quick to-go service! We ordered the kao pud prik (beef), curry puffs, roti and pad priew wan (crispy pork) and would 100% buy again. Cheaper to order from restaurant directly compared to Uber eats prices (easy street parking for pickup).
