Thai restaurants in Sydney

  1. A

    Prasit's Northside Thai Takeaway

    There are only a handful of tables upstairs at this popular plum-painted eatery, so put your name on the list and grab a drink nearby. The menu covers a wide range of Thai specialties; look for the sublime Moreton Bay Bug in curry sauce in the specials.

    Pinto Thai

    Avoid the fast and furious takeaway downstairs and try to hook a table in the little upstairs dining room - there are surprising harbour bridge views. Most of the usual Thai faves (curries and stir fries) are under around A$20 but you'll shell out a little more for crab (blue swimmer or soft shell with a lychee salad).

    Sailors Thai Canteen

    Wedge yourself into a gap between arts-community operators, politicians and media manoeuvrers at Sailors' long communal table and order from the fragrant menu of Thai street-food classics. The balcony tables fill up fast, but fortune might be smiling on you. Downstairs the vibe's more formal and the prices higher.

    Thai Pothong

    This place has won a bowlful of ‘Best Thai Restaurant in Sydney’ awards. The menu is predictable and the usual crowd of golden Buddhas festoons the walls, but the mood is oddly romantic. Pull up a window seat and watch the Newtowners pass by.

    Longrain

    Inside a century-old, wedge-shaped printing-press building, diners slurp Longrain's signature modern Thai specialities, such as pork and prawn-filled eggnet or caramelised pork hock with chilli vinegar. Sip a Thai-inflected cocktail at the bar afterwards.

    Spice I Am

    Once the preserve of expat Thais, this little red-hot chilli pepper now has queues out the door. No wonder, as everything we’ve tried from the 70-plus dishes on the menu is superfragrant and superspicy. It's been so successful that they've opened the upmarket Spice I Am – The Restaurant in Darlinghurst.
