My "must have" thai food when i go to Sydney. Love the pad thai here, and the donuts with pandan custard. Love how extensive the menu is. It gives me options to try some food that i can't find at other Thai restaurants. Most of the food are great. Noticed some inconsistency in the food in the last visit. Went on Saturday, we had a spot on yum woo sen. Came back on Monday, ordered the same thing, this time it was a bit too sour. But we finished it too
Amazing quality the larb dish i ordered was a bit too spicy for me but i still enjoyed it and the sticky mango rice was my favourite would recommend this place to everyone who loves thai if u dont mind the little wait
I have been here several times and they never disappoint. Best pad thai and thai milk tea to find in Sydney. The staff are friendly and quick service. However, it is busy and wait time for a seat can be long during peak hours.
Will recommend and certainly come back.
A nice Cafe / Restaurant situated in the Thai Town of Sydney is also quite interesting for the kind of food they offer.
We ordered a Crab Fried Rice and a thai version of Khowsuey. Unfortunately, the did not have all the special teas mentioned on the menu so had to settle down with lemongrass flavor (but won't let this affect the rating as the dinning experience was quite good). We also ordered the thai version of coffee with condensed milk
Coffee was excellent, nicely flavored. Lemongrass was nothing exceptional...Just like any other lemongrass tea.
Khowsuey was easily the best dish of the day. Creamy, spicy, soupy and noodle-y .....Made quite a flavorful broth.
Crab meat rice was yummy too.
Plenty of options for Vegans and vegetarians. Attendants are very friendly. Quite easy on pocket as the quantity served is huge.
Mist visit
Delicious and large selection of dishes. Gluten free options too
Chat Thai is always consistently good in terms of food and quick and efficient service. The padt si-ew (pictured) is excellent and we always end our meal with the fried dough sticks (pictured). #chatthai
The most famous Thai cuisine in Sydney. Been there more than 10 times and always happy with the food. Fried crab omelette is my favorite dish among all other thai dishes like curry, tom yum and basil chicken mince.
A deluxe breakfast for me.
Toppings in the soup are good, like crispy pork skin and mince d beef.
Pork skewers are a little bit sweet, prefer skewers from Dodee.
Miss ya. 💑
Price is a little steep but that's fair enough as this place is always busy, even late night. I love how it closes at 2am. They have a variety of good dishes and would definitely recommend anything you're interested in. Just make sure you don't sit all the way to the back because it smells of toilet
I had the green papaya salad and the crab omelette. The salad was good but a little too salty. There was a generous amount of crab in the omelet but the omelette seemed to have been deep fried and I am not a great fan of the taste of crispy egg. I would come back however and try some of the other items on the extensive menu.
My favourite to go in Sydney
The food are always great, the crab. meat, som tam, and chicken was so nice
I'll definitely go back
I was craving pad thai so badly. This one seemed like the top choice around me so off we go!
The pad thai got served last so I was full on attacking the coconut soup egg noodle. The chicken was cooked through so much the meat fell off the bone. Xihuahua 🐶 thought I spat the bone back into the bowl. Totally the restaurants’ fault. The noodle also had sour cabbage i there, very interesting.
Papaya salad with salted egg was an explosion of freshness and flavors. I especially liked the beans, dry shrimps and peanuts in there!
Pad thai had a fancy presentation. The flavor was very mild too. Really enjoyed it. The mixture of raw veg and cooked noodle drenched sweet savory sauce was great!
We also had two of the $1 desserts. They were overly sweet but the floral after taste was nice. I don’t think their service is friendly enough but they are efficient. I have seen busier places with better service. Price is quite ok.
Great Thai food in a central location. It was very busy and very hectic when we went, but the service was still friendly and food came out quickly. The only let down was the crab spring rolls, everything else was delicious. Not the cheapest Thai, but not extortionate! We will return when we go to the theatre across the road.
Went in at around 4.30pm and the menu still offered lunch items. It took us a while to actually read through all the items and picked what we wanted. We ordered a rice noodles soup with various toppings and a rice dish with roasted duck and special sauce. Both were delicious and generous portions but the noodles soup was a bit salty for my liking. I added a bit of vinegar to tone it down and it tasted much better. At the front of the house, they have freshly made desserts and also takeaway dishes at a cheap price. Staff is friendly and space is warm and inviting.
The food was amazing, and the waitress was really friendly. First off, we ordered a prawn curry, aunties noodles with prawn, a snapper dish and mango pudding. To be honest, the prawn curry and the snapper dish had a similar taste, but overall it was perfectly cooked. Aunties noodles was amazing! And the prawns were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend the latter.
The woman waiting on us was awesome. She recommended the right dishes, paid attention to our empty glasses, and made us feel at home.
Highly recommend.
What's a trip to Sydney without visiting the all famous Chat Thai. It may be a hyped up Thai restaurant but at least they kept the quality as authentic as possible. My second trip to this restaurant in the span of 1.5 months.
This time, I visited with two of my visiting friends from Singapore and the quality did not disappoint me. Let the photos do their justice.
Was recommended by a friend and seeing the many reviews on Google, I decided to try it. Had to wait about 15min during peak dinner time. Many options to choose from, but decided to keep it simple with the pineapple fried rice and green curry. Food tastes good but saltier than what I’m used to back home. Seating can be a bit cramped so be prepared to be pretty close to your fellow diners.
The last time I visited Chat Thai was probably close to 8 years ago and their food today is still as good! Do remember to book as they can get very busy during dinner.
Authentic Thai in the middle of 'Thai-Town'. Quality ingredients and friendly staff with both eat in and takeaway available.
Next door is Pontip which is the best Thai supermarket in Sydney and has everything you might need for coming at home.
They lose a star because the portion sizes seem to have got smaller recently.
