  5. Chat Thai Haymarket

    Haymarket, Sydney, New South Wales

    There are now five Chat Thai outlets across Sydney but that hasn’t diminished the line of people waiting to enter the Haymarket dining room, with its glass-walled kitchen pumping out noodles and good vibes. Luckily, you have until 2am to sit down to a meal of some of the most authentically delicious South East Asian dishes in the city.

  6. Thai Pothong

    Newtown, Sydney, New South Wales

    Most Thai restaurants don’t come with their own gift shop, but Thai Potong likes to do things differently. The iconic restaurant has been a Newtown mainstay for over 20 years and has been selling its entertaining mishmash of buddha statues, bejewelled necklaces and life-sized robots for just as long. The combination of traditional and modern Thai dishes, along with the heady excitement of sharing a dining space with over 400 people, makes this the perfect choice for a lively meal.

  7. Spice I Am Surry Hills

    Surry Hills, Sydney, New South Wales

    The original incarnation of Spice I Am packs its customers in, day and night, not least because it’s BYO and doesn’t charge for corkage. So what does get added to your bill? Seriously traditional dishes dosed up on flavour and spice.

  8. Muum Maam

    Surry Hills, Sydney, New South Wales

    Tuck shop by day, restaurant by night, Muum Maam makes little gluttons of all its Surry Hills diners. We love the open kitchen, the burst of red and orange Thai street art and the classic dishes made with seasonal ingredients and accompanied by fresh coconut juice, squeezed on the premises daily.

  9. Let's Eat Thai

    Marrickville, Sydney, New South Wales

    Sometimes culinary gems have nondescript dining rooms and this one, just opposite Marrickville Station, is one you shouldn’t judge on appearances. The menu is reminiscent of that of Spice I Am, all fresh and vibrant but with noticeably lower prices and the guarantee that you’ll never have to queue to get in.

  10. Caysorn Thai

    Haymarket, Sydney, New South Wales

    Southern Thai cuisine is known for its heat and tongue-tingling, nose-watering spiciness and that’s the order of the day at Chinatown’s Caysorn Thai. Try the house specialty: sour fish curry with lime juice, but pile on the Asian salad ingredients to douse the fire in your mouth.
