    Pineapple fried rice
    Hansel B.

    Found this great little place in Bondi beach. To be honest, we went to 5 other places before this one, but everything was packed with a 1hr wait. This place was also packed, but they are super quick so the wait was about 5 minutes. They have a pretty big menu with all the thai classics. We had pineapple fried rice and a couple of other dishes which I can't remember right now. The food was good and the service was friendly and quick. The place is BYO and it's cash only, if you forget cash there are a couple of bank ATMs only 2 blocks away.

    Fun, fresh and delicious! I never bothered coming to Bangkok Bites because I thought it was just another Thai restaurant in Bondi with the same menu, flavour and ambience as its predecessors... Somewhere along the way Thai restauranteurs found a formula that worked in Sydney and they haven't budged from it since! (give or take a little ambience/quality etc... and hey, the formula works for me so I'm not really complaining!) Bangkok Bites is different... and I loved it. On a warm Sunday evening, the restaurant was buzzing with busy waiters, chatty patrons and glowing-in-the-heat chefs.. all moving under dimmed lights and street-vibe decor that is the first giveaway that this place has a little spunk! I was genuinely shocked to find the menu isn't a cut-and-paste, standard Thai menu. There are certainly "standard" items that you'll find in most Thai restaurants but each dish has a little twist and there are some excellent additions (and substitutions... I went for Corn Fritters in place of my usual Vegie Spring Rolls as an entrée... awesome!). Food was plentiful (too much for me!) and delicious. Staff were attentive and friendly. There is a great energy throughout the restaurant. I definitely recommend grabbing a few friends and heading for a meal at Bangkok Bites.

    Man I miss great Thai food!! I first became aware of Bangkok Bites after walking by it on my way to the beach. I noticed an intoxicating aroma and said to myself, I must try this place. Later on the same day a friend of mine suggested it for us to get dinner at. We ordered the Lucky Duck and Lemongrass Lamb entrees and they were outstanding!! The Lucky Duck (love how it's served in a halved pineapple) had a real depth of flavor and the Lemongrass Lamb had a wonderful meaty taste to it that brings out the inner carnivore. It was lightly charred, tender, juicy. The accompanying vegetables and sauces were delicious too. Service was very nice, atmosphere was hip, and I would definitely return here again and explore all their menu has to offer.

    Only downside is it's cash only which is a pain but easy to reach an ATM within 20 meters of the restaurant.

    Amazing food especially the Pad Thai (in my opinion one of the best in the eastern suburbs)…read more Insanely good prices and super quick service for good food. Would recommend. They are however, not open on Sundays despite what their description says.

    Thai Volunteer is a little different then your standard Thai we have become accustomed to in Sydney…read morewhich isn't necessarily a good or bad thing. The interior is very colourful and bright which isn't the standard for Thai places. The venue highlights the fact that they make contributions to help support Thai children in need of aid. So you can eat and feel as though your contributing a little towards helping out underprivileged youths. The menu is full of classics like Tom Yum, Pad Thai, various stir fry and noodle options. They offer $9 specials all day everyday. I decided to order Tom Yum Vegetable Soup with Mushrooms and Tofu as well as a Beef Salad. The menu offers really cheap eats. The soup was $6 and the Beef Salad was $11. The Tom Yum Soup was one of the best I have had in a long day. So spicy it had me grabbing for the tissues and water. Packed with fresh vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms and plenty of chilli's. Great choice from the menu and would go back again just for this. The beef salad didn't look amazing on first look but the Salad was surprisingly good too. It had lots of tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber, carrots and capsicums. The sauce was really delicious but it wasn't really mixed into the salad and sat at the bottom of the dish. Packed with Beef this is a really good low carb option for the health conscious. Nice friendly staff and good menu options make this place a great option to try if your in Bondi.

    This is a new Thai restaurant that comes into the a very competitive Eastern Suburbs landscape…read more It's fetching quiet well as it has a great vibe, big portions and lovely staff. This fabulous casual Thai restaurant servesreally good food, the best Thai food I've had in the East!Large portions, good service, can't easily be beat! From the street, you'll notice that the restaurant is not big, nor have a discerning influence on the culinary aspects of Rose Bay. This new find in Rose Bay has already started to make a strong presence in the discerning Rose Bay/Bondi restaurant scene. If you're heading there on the weekend, especially Saturday night, try to call ahead for a table, or you may end up waiting, as it gets very busy. We demolished a veggie pad siew; a beef pad sieuw; BBQ chicken salad; and the duck salad. The portion sizes were generous and the chefs know what they are doing, the meals come out quickly and surprisingly for a Thai restaurant, the place takes credit cards! Go Blue Monkey! Chimp chimp

    My family is obsessed with this place which means I've had a few times to frequent this fine…read moreeatery.... with so many different Thai restaurants in Sydney I'm always amazed how they stay in business.... I guess one thing you need is a good product - and Blue Monkey Thai does deliver. Their ingredients are super fresh and their dishes are full of flavour. Besides their great choices on the menu - one thing I can guarantee is you will NOT go hungry. They are not scared of big portions sizes and so I suggest sharing or taking some home for next day left over snacking, It's a little bit pricey with dishes costing around $20 (which is a bit for Thai) but as I mentioned you're getting BIG DELICIOUS PORTIONS and so I consider it to be good value.

    Not alot of people using Yelp outside US. So this can help others. Chat Thai is a quite large group…read morefor basic Thai resto in Sydney. Randswick location is closer to our stay. Less menu from what I understand. We ordered Omelette Chicken with rice on the side, Pad Thai, Grapao Chicken basil, Crab fried rice. Omelette was good, tasty and good portion. Chicken basil leaf was also good, similar to Chicken Mint Leaf in US. Pad Thai was slightly different, probably due this location. No minced peanut on side and noodle on soggy side. Crab Fried Rice was also good. Overall good and tasty Thai food. Reasonable portion and price. FYI, tip is compulsary in OZ, however it's a starting trend now. Tip jar and tip line on receipt. Service was excellent. "Fast food" OZ style meaning small dining area. Server keep checking on us and refill our water. https://www.chatthai.com.au/2017/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/18/CT_RW_Dinner_2020.pdf

If I feel like Thai then this is my number one go to, I don't think I've tried any other Thai restaurants in the Eastern Suburbs. Secondly, it's a 30 second walk from my house, which probably contributes a lot to my first point but the pad see ew is too good to pass up. Their fish cakes are also juicy and full of flavour. Thirdly, the Randwick restaurant is uber cute as it's small and exclusive except everyone knows about it and it's constantly busy. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is lively. Great for all occasions.

    Thank God for Spice & Wine - my local Thai that also happens to be well above average in the…read moredelicious department. You see, I love Thai food. Even relatively bad Thai food by most people's standards. I know it's bad, but like a 3-legged dog, I love it all the more for the awkward stares, unimpressed looks and pity it gets. For those who are pickier than I (it's not hard, people) Spice & Wine does not fall into the 3-legged dog category, but instead rates up there with some of the better Thai food you've ever indulged in. The Naked Fish is an easy dining highlight, my partner literally licked the bowl his yellow curry came in, the cashew nut chicken is perfectly seasoned and the steamed veggies come with *both* western and Chinese broccoli. But beyond all this, (and their liberal BYO policy) there is a blond braided waitress that just gets. sh*t. done. She is amazing in every definition of the word and makes the dining experience that much better. As do their inside heat lamps and blankets. Listen, I stumbled upon this spot because it's my local. That said, I'd consider this "go out of your way for" Thai. It's at the terminus of all the Bondi buses, so hop on one and experience this spot for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

    Banana flower salad. Sexy duck stir fry. Naked Fish…read more I knew I'd seen these familiar yet unusual menu items somewhere else in Sydney, and indeed a waiter at Spice & Wine informed me they have the same owners as the Spice Market mini-chain. This relatively new Thai restaurant follows the same formula for success as its counterparts - low lighting, simple, timber-clad interiors and friendly service. Oh, and let's not forget delicious food. Friends and I were only after takeaway; our phone order would be ready in just ten minutes, they explained. On arrival, the waiter who served us took the time to ask if any of us preferred our dishes a little spicier than usual, and accordingly added in a complimentary dish of smokey chilli sauce. While I'm a fan of the abovementioned items I'd already tried at their Kirribilli Spice Market outpost, this lazy Sunday evening called for tried-and-tested dishes. Chicken satay skewers, beef pad see ew and chicken pad thai were well-executed favourites, followed by an indulgent red duck curry featuring sweet 'n' juicy lychees.
