Cozy Thai restaurant just next to local news agency. We enjoyed the detailed decor - paintings on the wall, the elephant-shaped light and Thai monstera, they all contributes to the cute and warm vibe. The food is all nice, the portion is not huge, but the value to price is reasonable. In general the dishes are a bit salty for us, maybe will request less salty in the future, but the flavours are all nice. BYO $3 per head, will be back to try more dishes.

Absolutely incredible food! Had the massaman curry, Chinese broccoli with pork belly, and apple salad with pork. Every dish was delicious, served quickly, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. BYO is available. There are about 10 tables available for dining in, but I was there on a Friday night and has no issues getting a table. Highly recommend.

One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to in Sydney. Crispy Pork Belly with Chinese Broccoli - The pork belly is super crispy and not greasy, just the way I like it. The broccoli tastes really fresh, and I love that it’s sliced thin, so it soaks up all the flavour. Green Papaya Salad - First time trying green papaya, and it’s amazing! Super fresh with the perfect mix of sour and spicy. The peanuts on top add a great crunch too. Would visit again.

I always measure how good Thai restaurant is based on how good they cook their Pad Kee Mow. I went to this restaurant and first time tried their Pad Kee Mow, it's umami and spicy, noodle was chewy and smell very fragrant. And I have been going back there almost everyday all last week just to try other dishes. Their foods are authentic Thai, nothing could go wrong with whatever I ordered. Their Green Papaya Salad is very refreshing, Pad Prik Khing Crispy Pork Belly is crispy and packs a punch. Hidden gem in Rosebery, highly recommended!!

Tucked away in a quiet part of Rosebery lies this unassuming suburban Thai restaurant. Went here for lunch. Their menu is small compared to other Thai restaurants but reasonably priced. They have a lunch menu that starts at $15.90 with a drink which represents good value. Tried the green curry chicken, pad prik king crispy pork belly and prawn cakes. Each of those dishes exceeded expectations. Green curry had a depth of flavour and just the right amount of spice for me. Pad prik king crispy pork belly is one of the best I have had. Prawn cakes are also a standout, fresh, plump prawn paste with a crispy fried exterior paired well with the sauce. The pad see eiw was well cooked and flavoursome. Staff were friendly. It was quite busy at lunch but you could hear other customers positively comment about the food as well. Would definitely return!

The green curry was so fragrant and flavourful and the prawn cakes were really meaty, though my only complaint was the pad see eww was a tad too salty. The vibe was cozy and service was friendly,

Delicious, fragrant, fresh Thai food. All of the food was really well balanced and most dishes had a nice bit of chili. Staff were very warm and friendly. I recommend making a booking if you are a larger as the restaurant is busy and there were no empty tables while I was there until the end of my dinner (around 8pm.)
