As soon as Amy Chanta flung open the doors in 1989 Chat Thai became an instant smash hit with Sydney diners already familiar with Thailand and no appetite for compromising on ingredients, flavours, textures and aromas. Searching all across Sydney for the correct vegetables, herbs and sauces Amy was able to set herself apart through a stubborn dedication to reminding diners of their unforgettable food experiences on the streets of Bangkok.Three decades later we are proud to continue Amy’s vision by adding organic vegetables from Boon Luck Farm to serve up authentic Thai dishes we ourselves want to eat. Unique flavours the Thai diaspora crave from the motherland but struggle to find outside of their own home cooking.

Cannot fault the service. The restaurant is well presented, modern and clean. The staff are attentive, engaging and there are plenty of them. Food was quick and plentiful and most of all tasty. We went the American BBQ group share which is the top end of menu pricing and it allowed us to sample a wide range of what Roast Republic offers. The big ticket items for me were the lamb chops and the tomahawk steak. The corn was a sensation. When they offer gloves for eating the wings take them for best enjoyment - especially for the spicy buffalo. Drinks were well priced and they have great mocktail range. You will not walk away hungry, in fact we were fit to burst.
