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.

The restaurant has a fantastic ambiance and excellent food, making for a great dining experience. However, the service could be more attentive. A bit more focus on customer engagement and responsiveness would elevate the experience even further.

Had a great dinner experience here with Brandon and his team. Brandon and Jacky were very responsive and accommodating in the booking stage, were flexible with changes and even child friendly. On the night, Sofia was very pleasant and attentive, keeping an eye on all 20 of us and making sure everyone’s needs were accommodated. Every dish on the set menu was amazing. After dinner we were moved to the bar area. Bartenders were great and worked fast. Monique was also very friendly and generous and made sure to give us plenty of water throughout the night. Music and DJ created a fun atmosphere as well. Would definitely recommend coming for dinner and drinks.
