I had always heard great things about this place and finally got to go. I decided to steer away from my regular order of Pad See Ew as there is only one place that does that really really really well (Thai Rose in Sutherland) and I did not want to be disappointed.

Don't bother to eat here if you don't like chillies. But we do. and the flavours and spices here are fantastic. The original Wentworth Avenue hole in the wall is the place to gho as the prices here are just so low for the quality.

Authentic tastes. Traffic can get a bit noisy. Thai beef salad was too spicey. Worth a visit.

Restaurant was very nice but too dark, couldn't read menu easily. Food was tasteful and the sticky rice desert was delicious, the best of its kind that I have tasted

went there with 4 pax. Late service available. nice atmosphere and not sophisticated at all. Waitresses are friendly and atentive. Menu choice is carefuly described with pictures. food is well assembled for great experience and taste. Wine choice limited but efective considering spicy food.

Inspired flavours, (maybe not if you're Thai) but still one of the best Thai rest. in Australia and that's saying a bit since there's at least 6 or 700 in Sydney alone!

This is easly the best Thai in Sydney, if not Australia. Perfect food and service, and really friendly welcoming staff. I've been to many Thai places around Australia and have yet to find one that can equal Spice I am,

WE found this restaurant for a meal with our 2 boys working out there. Good food and although not cheap. I still left a tip so in my eyes, we were happy customers.
