Anyway, since I hadn't had any for a while (basically a week), I decided to look for one as I was wandering along Glebe Point Road, and this place basically came up. As a restaurant it does its job, and it does actually have a much more authentic feel than some of those really flash thai restuarants that are appearing all around the suburbs. I ended up having a curry, but then that is what I generally end up eating at most of the Thai restaurants I visit. Oh and its pretty good value as well, though I would recommend avoiding it on the hotter days.

Heard many good reviews about Epicurean buffet here in Sydney and had to try it while visiting…read more I have to say that as much as I want to give this buffet more stars, I would rather be honest with the review. Given this buffet offers king crabs, I would say it is worth the price if you are seafood lovers. I think the quality of the seafood offer here is great and fresh. The Asian food here is amazing. However, this is where I am not sure if I would pay this much just to eat Asian food buffet. I am Asain, born and raised, by the way. The service was fine, but their staff didn't really explain how anything works when they seated us. We had to approach one of the staff to make sure what to do and how to pay for the meal. For the Americans who had been to buffet in Las Vegas, this place would not exceed the expectations. Though the ambiance is nice but the variety of the buffet overall is not a 10 out of 10 rating. The meat section here is underwhelming. If you are a meat eater, the pork dishes are delicious. I wish they offered better meat selections. The dessert and the fruit are good. It's just enough variety and not too overwhelming. Overall, if you visit Sydney, this buffet is located in a beautiful Crown Hotel, and it is worth visiting. However, besides the offering of King Crab, I don't think this buffet is worth 135 aud for dinner (about $89). Again, if you are seafood lovers, this is a great dinner experience for sure.

The prices are reasonable and you will often get complimentary rice with your meals. The chargrilled turmeric and lemongrass chicken(thigh) with a small mint salad with dressing is fantastic. Although it would be nice with a little coriander and chilli. The green chicken curry is the best I have ever had; coconut milky, abundant asian herbs, spicy and sweet. The red curry chicken is also equally as wonderful. The hot and sour soup with oyster mushrooms and a few garlic prawns also had abundant flavours. The only downside is that their online lunch menu lists papaya salad with chicken. However this is not available at the restaurant. I was not a fan of their yellow curry chicken which was more like a slow cooked curry dish. Best Thai Restaurant in Parramatta.

Thai restaurants in Parramatta are a dime a dozen, there's new ones popping up all the time. But…read morethis hidden spot spells a bit of fresh air from the others. Located within walking distance (for me) we've tried this place twice before I decided to review. I don't like to be disillusioned from a successful first time visit and going twice ensures checking whether the service is consistent when it's different staff. So? This restaurant passed the test. The food is very much on par with other local Thai joints , if you know Parramatta you know the Thai place I'm talking about. What makes this restaurant stand out from the other Thai eats is the drinks. There's alot of Thai-competition in this suburb so you can't help but do comparisons, but knowing that if you choose here it'll be one of the top 3 choices worth going for at least. It's also open spaced but small, like it's squeezed into the apartment building, which is why it feels hidden I suppose. Give a try, Thai food is cheap what do you have to lose eh.

I've had massaman curry from various different Thai restaurants and nothing tops the one from here.

Tom yum prawn was perfectly spiced with a generous amount of mushrooms.

We did a search and this was the only venue near us serving Laksa for lunch. I had always thought Laksa was purely Malaysian. But come to find out, also a southern Thai dish. And I now prefer the Thai version. It is more creamy with a rich coconut flavour than the Malay broth version with sour asam. The service was very attentive and friendly and the pricing is fantastic. Will come back again and again. You come here for the food, not the ambience. And it is BYO, so that helps get around the unassuming looks.

This was quickly followed by the Teriyaki Tofu Bento #54 ($17.50), the larger of the lunchtime boxes. Both lunchbox sizes come with miso soup, rice, salad and fruit but the larger also includes sushi and tempura. It certainly looked impressive! The tempura was very crisp and included a piece of avocado, potato, sweet potato and carrot. The soy and wasabi dipping sauce went well. The teriyaki tofu had been deep fried in a batter then coated with a sweet-savoury sauce, and stir fried with red and green capsicum. It was very tasty. The vege sushi included one piece of avocado nigiri and one of pea shoots. The salad was crisp & fresh with spirals of beetroot for colour and a creamy dressing. There was also a bowl of miso soup. This is a big meal, but doesn't leave you feeling heavy. Next time I would probably go for the smaller sized box, but I really enjoyed the sushi and the tempura. Homaru is a good choice in the Silverwater/Olympic Park area for a quick & tasty lunch that is good value.

They're a Thai and Lao restaurant, so on top of your favourite Thai dishes they've also got traditional Lao yummies like papaya salad with anchovies, larb (mince) salad and sticky rice. These guys are also not afraid to use spices and herbs in their dishes, which I love, unlike many of their competitors. To top it all off, they have an unusual but amazing fried icecream. Well worth going especially in summer... outdoor seating + spicy food + cold beer + finish with a fried ice cream = 2 thumbs up!
