• Thai • Sydney CBD

Booked 9 times today

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.

Love this place. Not sure why in Australia businesses ask for tips especially in a country that has fair work Australia especially in a time when the cost of living is so high. It just creates an awkward silence when the option is created. That said my friends who were from Victoria and had their flight delayed. We were thankful they held the table. They loved the food and raved and look forward to coming again.

Not happy will not return even though previous experience with the chef’s other venues have been 5⭐️. Entree prawns/oyster combo dish offered disappointing and questionable non fresh mushy king prawns. Lobster should have pre cut flesh or accompanied by better cutting knife to assist the eating experience. Dessert “Vanilla Cheesecake” presented as chocolate cake squares without explanation??? Maître D did not show up at our table yet seemed to be circulating the room?

Initially the music was a bit loud but staff assisted with finding a quiet corner. The venue was lovely but possibly less 'occupied' than expected. I am wondering why this might have been?
